What's your favorite length for your parter? (Imaginary is okay) ;)

For my friends, the ideal hair length for the heterosexual guys is between chin and mid-back in length. The heterosexual girls generally preferred shoulder-length or above on their guys. Of my bisexual and homosexual friends, hair should be either very short (pixie or nearly buzzed) or very long (waist or longer), on either sex.

Obviously some people are better suited to certain lengths/styles/cuts/whatever, but generally speaking, I was curious
as to other's preferences. Personally, I like my guys with hair that's long enough to pull back, and generally my favorite lengths are between shoulder and mid-back.

Now, I know that there are more critical aspects of
a relationship than hair length, but if Prince(ss) Wonderful showed up, how long (or short) would his(her) hair be?

My apologies if that was way too confusing. :o

Whatever length makes my partner happy is the perfect length for me.

I would love my husband to try to grow his hair to below the shoulders so he can pull it back, as it is gorgeous, thick, dark and almost straight (he inherited his Spanish mother's hair). Sadly for me, he is an engineer who cannot stand the thought of anything except the standard short haircut, and even tells the girls at the salon to not bother putting product in his hair.

Luckily I didn't marry him for his hair. He washes with herbal essences, so at least it smells nice. ;)

Having grown up in a major military area, I love the buzz cuts on men (but not high and tights, they are weird). I will sit and run my hand over it for hours, love it! I don't have anything against long hair either, as long as they know how to take care of it. I have just never dated anyone with long hair. Most long haired men I know have no idea what they should do with there hair. My brother has hair about my length and I have been preaching to him to either shave it, or learn to take care of it, cause right now it look horrible. When he next comes home we are going to have a heart to heart about conditioner.

I really don't care. :shrug: I've dated guys with hair from pretty short (but not quite buzzed) to past shoulder length... it depends on the particular guy and what he likes, and what sort of hair he has.

:brainbleach:

I really gotta stop jumping to conclusions when I see these titles.

Bahahahahahahaha... I didn't even think that until now.

I like the length of his hair best about one cm longer than when he just comes from the hair dresser (still short). I tried to find a picture of someone with similar hair but I only find pictures of guys who use hair gel and such. I'm sooo happy my bf doesn't do that!

I really don't mind. Whatever he likes...I do love long hair on men and women but short hair that suits them and that they're comfortable in is great too!

My partner's hair is dark brown, 1b with little ringlets from time to time, and it's about APL. I love it! :D

It's never been "short", but when it was short'er' I loved it too.

No such thing as a perfect length, I think! :cheese:

I am female and I would prefer my partner, if I had one, to have short hair (you know... buzz cut or however you call that nowadays). Ok, I wouldn't end a relationship if he decided to grow...

I like male - female stereotypes of the roman kind :D
He: Short hair, dark skin
She: Long hair, fair skin

No, it is not easy to be born 1981... should have been born 1598 - latest!

BF is perfect when he chooses how to wear his hair not me:D His hair's now past shoulders. He has a routine than he abandons his hair until it reaches mid-back or so and than trims back to shoulders. I ofcourse wish he could grow it even longer because his hair is so beautiful. Since we're allowed to dream here let's say knee length would be cool:lol: but I'll have knee length too:D

I like DH with the cut he has always had (well, since before we were dating). The good 'ole high and tight, also known as a fade. It just plain looks good on him.

I really don't care for long hair on guys ::hides from the tomatos::, but of course I can still appreciate the beauty of long hair on our guys around LHC.:flower:

Chin length fantasies here.

Everything between a regular short cut and.. well.. I don't know.. ? I don't think there's a maximum length per say^^ As long as it's not longer than mine.. We can't have that -- I would be too envious!! :lol:
I just don't like buzz/military cuts or bald... I need to have some hair to pull/run my fingers through^^

Velvett, you had me in stitches. I guess I was so into the LHC mindset that I didn't even notice! Whoops! :bigeyes:

Guenever, one of my friends feels the same way. He almost walked out of the [then] new James Bond movie (Casino Royale) simply because James' hair was not the luxurious type.

I love long shoulder-bra length like in mustketeer films But dh really suits short short hair you know like Elvis suited it-short.

But Long hair with a bit of wave to it does look lovely on a guy and rockers with classic straight fairytail ends look cool too.

With guys it's all about the muscles for me(or the make pretend musketeer/pirate/we wrestler costumes) lol who cares what's happening with the hair?

:brainbleach:

I really gotta stop jumping to conclusions when I see these titles.

Velvettt, whatever do you mean? :confused: ;)

I like my man bald! :D

I saw a guy the other night with hip length hair. I wish I had a guy with long long hair... but my guy prefers it short, kinda shaggy looking.... he has nice hair, and he actually wouldnt look good with long hair, but man its hot on some guys.

For me it's all about making sure the hair is longer than the beard. (Which also excludes bald.) Though if it's due to hairloss, I really can't complain as it's out of his control. Really it's his choice, but I like hair longer than the beard.

Short..:) not very creative I know but thats what looks best on my husband.
He has ist just a tad longer than in Military times.
I like really long hair on men too btw. depends on the guy. Alot look very good with waist length hair.

:brainbleach:

I really gotta stop jumping to conclusions when I see these titles.It would give new meaning to the term "kneelength" wouldn't it. :p

My DH has lovely reddish/auburn hair which is curly and wurly; I prefer it about an inch or so long, as does he. Way back in the '80's he had a mullet, and, looking back at it, it was really, er, not the best style for him. He has classically angled features, a combo of Welsh and German, and, unless he plans on starring in a romance novel from the 18th or 19th century, he's best off with short hair! (The thought of which actually gives me pause... :cool:)

Well I would love to have a girlfriend that had hair my length, however for some strange reason all the girls with short hair seem to be attracted to me!!! :)
Not quite sure why that is the case, but it seems to be a pattern!

I've discovered a preference toward longer hair on the guys I like. But I like whatever suits them.

However, if a guy has longer than average hair (chin length or longer) I just gape. xD The longer the better.

My bf had long hair but he had to cut it for work.(shaved it all off)
I like both styles on him.
But nowadays I really like militarystyle cuts.

As I general rule, I prefer longer hair on people... as long as it looks well-groomed.

My current partner's hair is a gorgeous color and I'd love it if he decided to grow it out again. His current cut is about 1-2" in overall length. It's short, but it looks good on him, so I don't mind.

I have to say that I love long hair on guys. I mean, it doesn't really matter too much either way (whatever makes them happy), but long hair is my fav :) my honey has very long hair, and it looks wonderful on him :D

I prefer hair to be extreme in at least one aspect - color texture volume length etc. The exception is style- I don't have enough of an appreciative eye for fancy cuts.

For length- very long or barely there :)

My boyfriends hair is bald I love it on him. I guess it really doesnt matter:shrug:

i don't care for it short, but even at shoulder length it's starting to get a little longer than i prefer it....

*so*

chin length for sure!

(ah, he's just hot no matter what =)

On my female partners, I like a cute bob. It's snarky and looks witty, if that makes any sense.

On my male partners... meh, I'm too homosexual for this part of the question. I really don't care. My attraction to males is very rarely related to appearance.

Not sure.... DH is growing his out, and I like it more the longer it gets right now. But it's curly and a bit past his collar in the back, dry. I'm sure APL will be great on him, when he gets there, but I'm not sure he'd go longer than that.

As long as theres enough hair to put my fingers through it, and pull a bit Im happy, but I wouldnt want any longer than chin on my husband.

On women I like mid-back length to anything - even the floor :) If for whatever reason they're genetically incapable of getting it any longer, then I'm still attracted to terminal length hair - the dwindling ends et cetera. It's funny that despite my preference being so broad, I still rarely run into any women where I live that meet it!

For my DH, his medium length hair looks best a couple months after a cut. His hair is even finer and wispier than mine, so he really can't go too long. On me, I am really enjoying the layers I got cut in, and it is waist length at it's longest part. So far, I am really enjoying this length the best. In my early 20's, my hair came to the tops of my thighs. Hopefully, I can get it there again. My personal preference? I love really long hair on men, just as long as it's kept up nicely (clean, mainly!).

My DH laughs at me; before we got together, all of my boyfriends were musicians, and kind of wild (but fun!);). He says he knows he's not my type, but when it's love, and it hits ya, go with it I say! He definitely was not my usual preference, but over 26 years later, we are going strong, so I am glad I went with my heart! He laughs that he is too straight and sedate for me, but opposites must attract. I wouldn't turn him in for anyone else!:D

I think it depends a lot on the guy. I must say most I've dated actually had longer hair than me dreads or not(I've been longer than this.) However, I've not consciously sought it out or anything. I don't think! :?:

I like a guy with hair I can run my fingers though. Don't really care what exact length, just not a crew-cut!

My BF has wonderful curls, but he never grows his hair out past a fuzzy teddy bear look! He always thinks its just going to poof up, once he'd have some length to it, I know his curls would fall nicely.

Long. From my perspective...so that would be at least hip or tailbone. Preferably longer than mine.

I never expected "Can I call this floor length when wet?"

:heartbeat

Not that I can resist rubbing and petting buzz cuts.

I'm pretty happy that the amazingly cool person comes with the amazingly long hair! :cloud9:

should be good looking- either sex waist and below thigh,calf,knee, ankle length

If it as my choice my partners hair would be waistlenght. It's BSL, which is nice too and it's growing. It is very curly, so it looks shorter and the longer it gets the more it curls, really funny!
He has had it waist lenght for a long time (long time ago before we met) so I know it can get that long. Short hair doesn't attrackt me. Shoulder lenght is the shortest I like.

the longer the better nothing more sexy than a man with long locks!

Whatever length makes my partner happy is the perfect length for me.

I agree with this, my partner's hair length isn't really my problem as long as my partner is happy.

it all depends on the person, I had one partner who kept buzz cut hair that was SOO soft.. but most of them have had longer hair, and thats great.. and I love DH's hair when its long.. he's had it short, boring, and nothing to play with, shoulder length, which I think looks wierd and long.. and long looks best.. I wish he would take better care of it, then it would get even longer... but its great to play with too.. and he'll wear a bun if I do it...

It doesn't matter to me. If he is happy, so am I! I DO like his bald head, however!

:brainbleach:

I really gotta stop jumping to conclusions when I see these titles.

HAHAHAA>

I don't really have a preferred length for DBF's hair, but he always looks so awesome with longer hair (longest I've seen him with is like ... maybe chin?) and I think he would look amazing with really long hair.
He also wants to grow his hair out. Maybe ther will be a time when he can grow it out very long, but for now, he is attempting for shoulder!!!! :cheese:
I can't wait. Whatever length makes him happy makes me happy, but I do want to see it very, very long if I can!!!
He has a curly, dirty blonde tiger's mane, and I think it would look amazing long. :)

My husband used to have long hair (for him), the problem is his hair does not grow long so much as it does out.

For work reasons he now keeps his hair short.

I like his hair short better, but in general I like long hair on a guy.

I prefer longer hair on men. Recently, I rejected a couple of potential suitors because they had short hair and had strong objections to my preference (it's on my Yahoo! profile). That wasn't the only reason, but I would have forgiven other flaws if they'd had long hair, even to the shoulders.

I like my man with his hair short. He looks good that way. He is really cute all scruffy though. If he wanted to grow his hair long, Id say "join the club!" lol. :p

I like longer hair on guys, maybe shoulder length + ? Bonus points for dreadlocks too :)

One of my classmates has long hair and all it does is distract me from the lecture:o What a lovely distraction it is though

My boyfriend has the most wonderful, thick, dark, and straight hair. He keeps it longish, which I love, and soon he's going to grow it out long enough to put into a ponytail. I don't think he would look as good with ultra long hair, but shoulder length or slightly longer would be great!

DH has always had short hair except for a short period of time several years ago. He grew it out to shoulder length because he never had done that before. Astonishment on my part because I NEVER knew he had curly hair. But I think his short hair suits him very well. That being said, the man can do whatever he wants with his hair and I'm fine with it.

If he had a different hairline, I wouldn't mind his hair longer but as it is my fiance really does suit short hair (not much longer than an inch at most). I can still grab it, and it's extremely ruffleable.

We have a pact: I will always have hair long enough to put in a ponytail as long as he never does.

For me, it depends on the person. There was one guy I was dating that had gorgeous long hair, and I could never picture him with short hair. He did eventually cut it, and he looked really strange without it...lol. Then there was another guy I liked that always kept his head shaved and I just can't picture him with long hair. I dunno, I just think that it has to suit their features and personality. Know what I mean? :shrug:

Shaved short, but not quite army short! He still wishes he had shaved it before our wedding, because we both think it suits him so much more!

For me to fancy a bloke then either shaved or a really short crop....like grade 1 is ideal. I'm a bit stereotyped with my "type"....i go for that oh-so masculine, built like a tank, tall, butch....yummy......;)

I love to see women with waist to tailbone length hair and worn down.

My special someone has the most beautiful long hair, and the length she has is just perfect in my eyes.:love: She is growing it as long as she can, and that makes me very happy too!:heart:

She would have classic length hair with thick ends. I am not attracted in general to women with short hair but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker so long as she didn't ask me to also have it short.:)

My special someone has the most beautiful long hair, and the length she has is just perfect in my eyes.:love: She is growing it as long as she can, and that makes me very happy too!:heart:

awwwww how sweet:heartbeat:smooch:

Whatever makes him happy, I say.

That said, he'd like to grow it back to belt length, but currently it's mid-back length, and it likely will stay there for a few more years. If/when he does grow it longer, both of us will be most pleased by that. :D

LONG. I'm a sucker for men with long hair, a huuuge sucker.

The boy currently has hair that's around shoulder blade length. He wants it at around waistband length which is going to look stunning. Poor thing has the slowest growth rate I've ever seen and any growth is eaten up by curl. It looks like the weight is FINALLY starting to pull out some of the crazy insane curl though.

I would love my girl to have long hair but my GF has always had short hair :( -->

I prefer long hair, but it's not that important. When I was single I went out with some short haired girls and some long haired ones.

DW's hair got down to her waist for a while, but it seems to be a bit shorter than that right now, and hence shorter than mine. She trims her own hair, whereas it's a very long time since mine's been trimmed atall. I do wish she would grow it back down to her waist, though. I suppose if she hadn't had it that long before I probably wouldn't miss it, but because she did I do.

I met and fell in love with my dh when he was a Marine. He's retired now and still gets the high and tights and I still love it. Only difference is he now sports a goatee - special request from me :D He looks wonderful.

I've seen him with longer hair. The longer it gets the less attractive it looks. His Marine cut suits him perfectly.

I'd cry like a baby if my BF cut his APL gorgeous hair. :D

Any length that he likes, but not shorter than an inch or two or so :lol: I love his curls.

I always thought that men looked nice with longer hair...mostly shoulder length,depending on the guy,but sometimes longer-like classic length!

My SO looks good with a bob cut, which she only tried recently. When we met, she had hair that was between BSL and waist,but it was damaged, so she tried various cuts before she decided on a bob. It is absolutely lovely! But then again, I also think she would look absolutely stunning with long hair. Maybe along waist,or classic.

For some reason,I think the look of length depends on the color of your hair-natural or unnatural...(i.e,natural haircolors are nice LONG but funky haircolors such as blue and purple look better on shorter hair)

As long as my partner's hair makes her happy, it makes me happy.

At the moment her hair is less than an inch long because her family hasn't accepted her as a girl yet (she's mtf transsexual), but she plans to grow it out to at least shoulder length when she's finished transitioning. I'll love her hair at all lengths and, should she ever shave her head, at no length at all.

I'd love it if she kept her hair long enough to braid though, I love playing with long hair on girls and guys.

My dh is balding and I think he looks best with a nice buzz. Anymore looks like he is compensating IMO. I like short hair on my men anyway. I don't think I could handle a guy with nicer hair than me, lol.

I'd cry like a baby if my BF cut his APL gorgeous hair. :D
I would cry too :D I think it would upset me more than getting mine cut...

His is waist lenght and I doubt I'll ever have longer hair than him... what with mine being problematic, curly and of veeery slow growth.

I like long hair in people. I cannot help it, I don't even see guys with short hair, haha.

I think most people look better with chin to just past waist lenght, depending on features and texture of the hair, but of course there are exceptions, shorter or longer hair is best suited to some people.

Whatever makes him happy. He has worn it very short, and about chin length. It is really curly, and I am so jealous!

I like it really short. I love it when he shaves his head super short. I know he likes it too, and I guess it's easier to handle as well. He does have scalp issues and they get bad when his hair is longer as well. So for many reasons I - we - prefer it short.

My husband looks better when his hair has just been cut ;so short, as it doesn't suit him with any length it starts to get bushy . His hair doesn't grow down it grows out. :shrug:

Shoulders would be nice. Too bad the DH shaves his head. He has such prudy black hair.

DH seems to be terminal length just below the shoulders. Now his goatee....keeps on growing! I love it!
