Everyone says I look bland with long hair, but if I keep my hair short will men ever be interested?

You can change a lot between 18 and 22. Did you look "dull and ordinary" because of your long hair or because of a different style, outlook, or confidence level?

Late teens and early 20s can be a great time for girls who always had long hair to experiment with short hair, because there's still time to go back to long hair. You may be unusual in that you kept the short hair for those years; it wasn't a one-time experiment. But the short hair can come at a cost, as you may have found out.

You say you look feminine, which is important in catching guys' eyes. Long hair isn't required to look feminine any more than a perfect figure, but it can be one core component of a complete picture of femininity. There are girls with short hair and flat chests and no curves who look stunningly feminine because of their style and confidence level, but it definitely takes more work to pull that off than if she has nice long hair and a nice body.

There are guys who absolutely love short hair; there are guys who don't care; and there are guys who love long hair. IMO the latter group is the largest, and the middle the second largest. The pluses of well-kept long hair are substantial. It is amazing to touch or to watch as it tumbles down over a girl's shoulders and down her back. Very long hair can be the ultimate lingerie as it conceals and reveals a woman's body. It can be very eye catching across the room for a first impression. The point in a relationship where looks matter most is at that first moment, because from that point on personality and other aspects become increasingly important.

Societal expectations may be arbitrary, but they do form our culture. Take a look at the women the guys you are interested in go for, and try to figure out the difference between you and them. It may not be hair. Even if it is, it may be that they all have short hair and you don't stand out. Bobs and crops seem to be getting popular; wearing long hair may be the way to stand out now.

Short hair can be easier to care for, but a lot of women wait until they are done dating and get married to get the big chop. There will be plenty of time for short hair when you are older.

I think the short hair is adorable, I can see where long hair, would look dull...BUT...i think if you had it to about your shoulders...just a little bit past...it would be cute...If you could have it shaped around your face, and razor cut...and long layers...But just right at the shoulders...

The shaping around the face would show off your facial features...

Try it...

But either way, Im sure you are beautiful..you should be able to get any man you want.

Hope this helps.

i think it all depends on the guy... some like it shorter.

but i do know how you feel, i haven't found one that does. i use to have long hair and i would curl it and make it all "sexy" and guys would yell at me on the streets. but i always felt like my long hair was a security blanket, or something to hide behind when i felt shy..now i have short hair to, and they all seem to look me over, even though i think my hair looks great, and i like it being out of my face!! i guess you just have to like the way you look though, and maybe someone else will to.

I think that hair looks really good, but im a girl. I wish i could pull something off like that, i want to try it but i dont have to guts to cut my long hair, even though my long hair looks like crap...

You're right, long hair is bland and boring. Maybe you're just being too picky or haven't met the right men yet. I love cute haircuts!

ummm.....hell yes
