I'm discussing girls.

Maybe if she swept her hair over a bit?  I like to see a bit of forehead on a woman.

Ah, I see.  I like bangs.

It's why Olivia Wilde is so much better looking in Tron Legacy than anything else she's ever been in.  Still beautiful, sure, but the bangs made a better frame.  I am aware it was a wig and those have a lot of tactile and practicality issues (and I am one who knows -_- ) but it looked great.
Do black women wear wigs?  I've only ever met a handful before, seeing as how I like to live in places where the cold keeps the riff-raff out.

Yeah, it doesn't take much forehead, but there had to be some.  Even like an Anne Hathaway pixie cut is just fine.  Generally though I prefer longer hair, worn up.  Not in pigtails though.  That's weird.

Some/many.  Africa did.

However, Viking's convinced me that a Real Man could only possibly appreciate a giant afro.

Oh yeah, and meant to say:

Really depends for me.  If it's relatively ornate, like going-to-prom-this-cost-me-$100, I tend to like it.  Just ponytails and stuff I don't care for at all.  I guess it's the forehead thing.

A full head of healthy hair is a sign of lack of illness and genetic disorders, just like the hour glass shape, sufficient breasts, clear skin, symmetrical features, good and straight teeth and fingernails. These are all signs of reproductive health.
And I think that's an overly simplistic look at a very complex issue.  There are a huge number of things that feed into sexuality, and evolutionary factors are just one of them, and not especially important ones either.  And the hourglass figure thing is simply ridiculous, taking a temporary fashion and trying to make it into some kind of greater theme.

Yes it is a simplistic look at a very complex issue. It is also a substantially significant view of the same complex issue. It is, however, significant to our cave men ancestors. What makes this issue complex is that culture constantly interferes and culture beats biology virtually every time. What culture usually does is to grotesquely exhaggerate one or two features, different variants of each you might see in the venus of willendorf, on the cover of FHM and on the cover of Vogue. You also get indicators of status or community belonging like the pale skin and small breast favored by aristocratic women of the middle ages suggesting not having to work or nurse or the heroin chic suggesting membership in an apparently elite cultural club.

The classic signs of beauty are precisely that classic and they return each generation.

And yes, women with big afros are hott.

showing off clear forehead -> demonstrating clear skin, yet another sign of health and fertility.


Ultimately it is all about sex and babies.

Warm Bodies- Different(and better) than expected. I think this is the first time I've seen Rob Cordry play a character that wasn't a loud-mouthed asshole.  :hmm:

Just watched it. Was fun even though a bit slow at times. :)

Sure.

So: short hair, demonstrating higher mobility, less cover for endemic louse affliction, harder to immediately neutralize in combat, and less likely to get caught in a Goddamned bush when fleeing tigers.

It wasn't even significant to them.  Cave men had culture, and even in pre-sophonts it's the job of the female to lifeguard the gene pool.  Only in rare two-way monogamous populations do males have to be selective in their choice of partner.

eh, no..

no effect on mobility, long healthy hair demonstrating resistance to louse infection for a prolonged period of time, women don't fight and  tigers are ambush predators which don't chase, they jump on you and bite the back of your skull off.

Ponytails might be my favorite hairstyle.  Either that or a bun.

Well, it's diff'rent strokes.  And ponytails do have their uses.

Try telling that to Viking, whom I imagine has never tried to run with two feet of hair on his scalp and in his eyes or seen someone doing it without the ponytail's benefit.

I could see how short hair might be an advantage in a catfight though. But matriarchal societies don't last, if they've actually existed.
