Would you date a guy if his hair was longer than yours?

Wow, there's gotta be something else going on there. I was told one time that I was too big, but I later saw the dude with a chica much, much, much bigger than me....so....I'm still confused.

If I was in her place, heck no I wouldn't break up over that! I would love playing in my man's hair and asking him for hair growth and retention tips. LOL

Wow, that's crazy! I LOVE guys with long hair... What a silly reason to break up with someone. And I think the jealousy thing is due to her lack of self-esteem!

It doesnt really matter to me. Ive dated lots of guys. When I did my big chop, I dated an Indian guy who had Bieber-like hair. I guess he didnt mind that my hair was short, he never complained

Thats a really silly reason to break up with someone. *smh*. My people....

Young ladies, know that you are beautiful and worthy just because you were created. Your hair, complexion, or your size doesn't matter. You are wonderful and fabulous just as your are.

I love all your inspirational advice(:
this made me smile and made my day(:
Im having that problem now,I think Im to light to be black,cuz everybody think Im mixed,which Im not.and I think because I got short hair it aint pretty and cuz I got two textures(straight n natural)my hair is ugly. But,reading what you said,Im trippin.I need to be happy with the hair and skin I have,God made me this way for a reason(:
Thanks,for the inspiration Chachadiva(:

Thanks So Much! You are so correct, my step brother is caucasian and did not understand why she was so upset with the fact she was upset. I read this to him and explained it as well. Turns out she does have the opressed thinking. He is planning to move on with some one who is confident within theirself. This was insipiring to me as well. Thanks again.

I've done it before and I'll do it again. I love men with long hair, even if my hair is super short. I don't get jealous of their hair being longer than mine, because my hair length is how I want it and I like it and he either likes it or doesn't care.

ITA...his girlfriend must have been very vain, and stupid. He should have thanked her for the favor.
