People around the world spend a great deal of time,
energy, and money grooming, primping, dying, beading, noticing, and
commenting on hair. In today's world hair has become just another
venue for making extreme statements. 50 years ago a man who shaved
his head was considered extreme. Today we have the rainbow spike
punk look. There are many extremes of yesteryear which would seem
mild or even main stream by today's standards.
One extreme which has been around for some time is
the "big Hair." Hair makes a statement about who you are
just as clothes do. For example, the bigger the hair the bigger the
ego. Sound harsh? Think about the amount of time spent on
maintaining this big hair, it's quite an investment in
themselves.
The punk hair extreme which we have all seen is
highly suggestive of emotional anarchy. They are taken in by
aggressive forms of social rebellion. Rebellion against what? In
today's permissive culture where there is no withholding of anything
which a person could want, what are they rebelling against? In the
past, rebels (of the 60's) tried to overthrow the oppressive norms
of society which frowned on free sex. At least they had a cause, as
wrong as it was. Today's rebels have no cause except to rebel
against something I have no idea what. This Christian personals
service does not suggest dating such persons. If you do, at least
you now know what you are getting into.
Clean cut and well groomed hair is a sign of health,
hygiene and social status. These people really care about social
norms. Note, sociopaths will usually take on this look because they
know it is trusted.
Proctor and Gamble commissioned a study at Yale
University in 2000 on the opposite sex's perceptions of hair
styles and here's what they found.
For women's hair styles;
1. Short, tousled hair conveys confidence and an
outgoing personality, but ranks low in sexual attractiveness.
2. Medium length hair suggests intelligence and a
good nature.
3. Long straight blonde hair projects sexuality and
affluence.
4. Long hair in general accents the lips and eyes,
removes jaw and brow features to soften the face. Out of all the
hair styles going this makes women most attractive to men.
The feminine features do not conflict with the stronger bony
features of the face.
Have you ever noticed that men will stop and look at
a woman with very long hair even if she has her back to them? Men
tend to assume that she is attractive, though she may not
necessarily be so.
For men's hair styles;
1. Short front flip - Confident, sexy and
self-centered.
2. Medium length side parted - Intelligence,
affluence and narrow minded
3. Long - All brawn and no brains. Careless and
good-natured.
4. Short military - Shows power by exposing the bony
features of the face. All military hair codes require this cut, for
the well understood reason that they look more fierce. It is not a
coincidence that military codes worldwide require their soldiers to
wear their hair in this manner. The military's job is to kill
people, not be politically correct.
