Women and Short Hair? A brave or insane man’s opinion.

How do men like it on their women, up or down, long or short?

 

You ask 100 men and you won’t get a unanimous agreement. Even if you asked 10 you might not get it. Let me say one thing up front; it doesn’t matter what men like, ladies. As long as you like it and it makes you feel happy and beautiful then go with it. You feel beautiful then that beauty will shine through.

 

The reason for this article was the result of a conversation recently when a lady asked what do men like and why. Me being me and Ronovan being one who Writes, I decided to write. Yes, that’s what my site title means; I write and I write anything and everything in any style. Now let’s get on with the hair tips from Mr. Van Van Man. Yeah, that’s me. Deal with it! Around the World Snap and in a Z formation! Yes, hair tips, what did you think I was talking about? I’ll turn away while that blush of yours goes away. I promise not to peek.

 

Oh, honey, you still blushing? Well fan yourself or something. We got to get on with this. No, stop looking at my picture it just makes it worse. Just saying.

 

Up Down Up Down Up Down: How do men like it?

by: Ronovan

Most men like long hair to some extent and we like the ponytail at times. Really what I want to look at today is short hair and what works. I picked two celebrities today. I have two more in mind for another day if people like this article or if I just feel so inclined to do it.


Sinead O’Connor

Let’s make it simple. It all depends on the woman and what makes her look good. Some guys say they like long hair, or at least not really short hair as in like Sinead O’Connor. Personally, the ‘Nothing Compares To You’ Sinead was beautiful. Pardon my saying this but back then I was a teenager. I waited for this video to come on MTV, back when it really was about music videos. Just think all in black, simple, and all you really see is this beautiful woman.

 

Here’s the honest part of this. Sinead at that point made it so you didn’t even notice her short hair. She made a statement back during a time of show what you got. She showed what she had, talent. And that combined with the focus on her facial features was a perfect combination. Even today just looking at the image you see beauty but not a model doing a photo shoot.

 

What would make this not work? Have her in a dress with a plunging neck line. Her face shape in this photo wouldn’t support that look. At least not in my opinion. She has a softer line to her face that I just don’t see working that way. There are photos of her elsewhere that show her face a little less soft and she could pull it off, but not for this video.

Now let’s look at Alyssa Milano.

Truth time here. She is one of my all time most beautiful women ever. I don’t like the style here. Yes she looks good with short hair but this particular picture and style doesn’t work for me. The only way she gets away with it is because of who she is. Even with her eyes, which we all know I am fond of brown eyes, it’s hard to not see the forehead here. If you go bangs that short then you need to just put some product in and style it up.

 

What I think is happening here is that she’s in that awkward in-between length.  You can almost see that the lengths aren’t quite right for the shape of her head. She has a great face shape for short hair and bone structure. The problem could even be the earrings. They are adding length in the wrong place. Just take your fingers and cover up the earrings and see what I mean. No earrings and the hair almost works. Fact is; she is still gorgeous! Sorry, I geeked a little there.

Alyssa Milano Short Hair

I know some of you are saying “Ronovan, you crazy. That is hot.” Okay, she’s amazing, but that bangs thing is just making my Migraine shout at me to scroll down and type something else.

 

Okay, fine, here you go. See same basic length but with a bit of color change and better styling. The earrings are much simpler, great improvement. Also the smile doesn’t hurt. And it’s not just about the smile itself. By smiling she added just a touch bit of length to her face and that makes it all work perfectly together. Now she’s got me. Yeah, like she didn’t before, right? Ahem.

Alyssa Milano Short Hair Nice

 

If the style is done right and it looks right for the woman’s bone structure, neck length, shoulders and body type, then I’m good. I could have used different people as examples but I thought Sinead was an obvious choice for short hair. Alyssa Milano was a good one here for showing how just a little change makes a difference with the short hair.

 

Do we like hair up or down? Yes. I had to say that because we like it either way. For me, wear it how it’s comfortable. Visually the hair can be a picture frame or an accessory for the face. Some faces may need the frame if they are wanting to look their best, some don’t so much.

 

Do all men think about it this way? Doubtful, but it may just be something that is a natural thing the eye and mind do without our knowing. I like art and to me a woman is art. I look and notice the details.

 

But truthfully if  a woman feels beautiful it comes through no matter what she wears or how her hair looks.

 

At least that’s my opinion.

5 Thoughts on Facial Follicles & Shaving Torture

5 Thoughts on Facial Follicles & Shaving Torture

by: Ronovan

Women have it so difficult shaving. Puhleeeasseeee.

 

Actually that was just to get your attention. But you know men don’t have it easy in the shaving area either.

 

I read an article recently over at my new found friend’s site A College Girl’s Confessions called Why Shaving Sucks. Always reading about the dire straits of the beauty lives of women got me to thinking that we men have it tough as well. (Don’t ask me why I read about the beauty lives of women. I Follow for Inspiration, right? Right.)

Cut-Throat Razor Blade

I honestly think that the idea of men shaving was something women came up with. What sane man would voluntarily think “Hey, let me put a razor blade to my throat and see if I sneeze.”? And there is no way I would actually let an old fashioned barber do it either. I don’t trust myself with one of those mafia movie killing things so I definitely won’t trust anyone else. Look at that thing.

And a woman with a blade? Umm . . . really? No way, especially not after that above article and the contortions and things. I have no desire for my important man parts to go missing. I like my nose where it is, thank you very much.

 

Here are 5 Thoughts on Facial Follicles & Shaving Torture

 

First thing, why is it women can comment on our facial hair and their disapproval of it but if we men mention theirs we are insensitive and sleeping on the edge of the bed for the next week? That’s if we’re lucky to still be in the bed. And yes, we know women stop shaving their legs sometimes out of revenge for something we men have done. Here’s a secret ladies, we don’t care that much . . . well not at the point we would notice anyway. I mean seriously, at that point an asteroid hits the earth and we don’t care.

 

You nicked your legs shaving: I nick my face and I can’t put a band aid on my face and get away with it. People would be asking me if I had some type of biopsy or something. (Yes I had that done once. I’m good now.)

 

Shaving cream up the nose: Do I really have to explain the awfulness of alcohol and whatever else is in that stuff going up the nasal passages feels like and how irritating it feels for days afterwards? I guess I just did.

 

You miss a spot shaving the legs? Think about missing a spot on your face where everyone is looking. Which one do you think they’ll notice in an interview? Yes, I am sure there are some that would notice your legs, I know, I know, but we’re talking about the other 5% of the polite people conducting interviews.

 

Oh, and don’t get me started on the ear hair issue. Okay, God, I know why you gave us all the various Old Man Ear Hairhair that we have, but seriously, why the extra Sasquatch growth of ear hair for men? I start in September leaving it alone and don’t need earmuffs by winter. Men if that hasn’t become an issue for you YET then take a tip from my article 10 Things Every Writer Needs But Never Thinks About and invest in Nair now.  Oh, and someone call them about Nose Nair, I swear it is sooo needed.

 

 

Ladies, yes, I know you have it tough shaving, and believe me when I say at least this man appreciates all you go through, but appreciate what we go through as well. Nose hair, ear hair, facial hair, neck hair, between the eyebrows hair . . . What? Am I the only one that shaves that?
