Another interesting topic.
Call me jaded, but I PREFER women who has long hair. I just think it is a subtle symbol of femininity. HOWEVER *in my best Art Fleming (Jeopardy!) voice*, I have also dated and/or gone goo-goo-eyed for sistas with short hair (Halle Berry style or au naturel). I have also dated a woman who had these short dredlocks that IMHO was rather cute. She was fine in body, spirit, and mind. In short, though I have preferences, I don't allow that to rule out those who happen to deviate.
Now for these sistas who are sporting the now-faddish short-n-natural hairdos. I say this out of pure comedy only: I am a bit skeptical about being intimate with one of these sistas. I am afraid that in the heat of passion when I look at her I might panic, because I'll think for a moment I was messin' with a dude. One sista I see frequently at First Fridays is a prime example. FINE lookin' sista, she just has one of them super-short fades like a man's. I have always wanted to holla at her, but when I see that hairdo, I chicken out. I don't want no "surprises", knowwhatImsayin'?
As far as my hair, taking another twist on this thread, I am (once again) going to get it straightened. I like my hair straight and semi-long (hair touching the back of the collar). Most folx think I am going to resemble Al Sharpton or James Brown, but I actually look East Indian--a woman on the street stopped me and actually asked me this. Currently, it is in a TWA (teeny weeny afro). I gotta try it again.
Anyway that's my $.25
