Do Men Have a Problem With Short Hair?
By Sarah Wexler, Allure magazine
While Pete Wentz has publicly said otherwise, a recent story in People claims he actually isn't a fan of wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's recently-cropped hair. Her new cut is sharp and crisp-she looks sophisticated, more like the hip young mom she is and less like a teenage pop star she used to be. But it isn't really a surprise that no matter how much I like her new style, her husband might not.

The beauty lore has always been that men prefer women to have long hair. In my own life, that's certainly been true. I've had a chin-length bob and a pixie cut before, and my female friends always gushed about how much they liked my hair short, using words like "gamine" and "adorable." The men? Not so much (maybe because "adorable" is how they'd describe their kid sister-not a potential love interest).

I've noticed that men pay more attention to me now that I have long hair-maybe because, along with breasts and hips, it's one of the most obvious features that makes us look different. (In a sweet move of support, though, none of my previous boyfriends ever claimed a preference for anything besides the style I was rocking at that moment. Hear that, Wentz?)
