In short let me say it is the way they move, how they feel and the feel of their touch, the sound of their voice, their smell, the look in their eyes, the sight and touch of their hair, that gentle reverse curve above their hips at their waist...oops ..gotta stop here...lol Post Reply
View Profile History	Femininity Posted : 12 Dec, 2010 05:06 PM Well Sparrow, I really was kind of looking for a serious response, although I have to say you took it to a point that made me a little uncomfortable. :goofball: That's really easy to do, though, I have a pretty low discomfort threshold. I wanted to ask the question because, while searching the internet for some pretty and low maintenance short haircuts, I came across a forum where some very angry (and Godless, I have to say) people were arguing about femininity and how Western women have 'become men'. These people were criticizing very shallow and simple things, in my opinion, but it made me curious what people on this forum would have to say make a woman, or a man, feminine. Post Reply
View Profile History	Femininity Posted : 12 Dec, 2010 11:23 PM Siylii As for hair cuts, there is a passage in corinthians that addresses this. Although I am of the school that not everything is applicable due to changes in time and differences in culture. But I do believe the princible taught in the bible is still valid, which is a woman should look like a woman because God created her to be a woman. As for my opinion which I think agrees with scripture, I find it a slight bit repulsive when a woman has her hair cut above her ears like a man. Especially when there are a lot of short hair cuts that are cute, attractive and feminine. I think it is biblical that men should look like men and women should look like women. Post Reply
View Profile History	Femininity Posted : 13 Dec, 2010 11:28 PM Well, for most of the past 8 years I have had hair above my ears, or at least well above my chin, so to be quite honest, my opinions and beliefs are obviously accepting of that. Honestly, I have never once been mistaken for a man, and I do not cut my hair to try to look like a man like some radical people claim is the reason some women cut their hair short. As a child, I had strawberry-blonde hair down to my butt. It was always in the way, but more irritatingly the only thing I ever got complimented on. I was constantly praised for my hair, but rarely for anything else. Honestly, the first time I cut it short was because I was told it could eliminate headaches, which ruined most of my life up until a recent surgery. It certainly did help, and also boosted my self-esteem because I was suddenly receiving compliments for things other than my hair. To me, and this is just my opinion based on experience and attitudes I see in other women and myself, long hair is vain. It takes up a lot of time that can be used for more important things, and is obviously an object of men�s lust. Even here on these forums men have gushed excessively over the �sensuality� of a woman�s hair. Women have been taught from young ages to be worried, if not obsessed, with their hair as if it is a meaningful part of who they are. The Bible might have referenced hair a couple of times, but not nearly to the extent of other internal things. I do not think God thinks less of me if I have short hair, nor do I think that I look less like a woman. Honestly, I don�t think even a beard would make me look �like a man��. I�d just look like a woman with a beard! I understand and respect that some people think hair really IS a huge moral issue, but I simply do not. Nowhere in the Bible does it say a man�s hair has to be shorter than x measurement or that a woman�s must be longer than x measurement. I do not cross dress or suffer gender confusion, I�d just rather spend 30 minutes every couple of months getting my hair cut than 45 minutes a day doing my hair or constantly tying it back. Besides, I�ve never walked into a barber shop asking for a man�s haircut: I usually take in a picture of a pretty lady model with something fun and easy looking. Besides, everybody in my life tells me I look prettier with short hair, and not much is more feminine than the word �pretty�. :goofball: About a month ago I chopped off my shoulder-length hair to chin length, and unless God reveals to me that that is a sin, I don�t really think it matters.

View Profile History	Femininity Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 01:47 PM Define "long" hair for a man. Longer than the ears? The chin? I know men for whom anything other than the typical Marine "high-and-tight" is "too long". In my case, my hair is usually longer than chin-length, resting just above my shoulders. It is the cut that works well with (call it "flatters", if you wish) my facial structure, and at which point I am most able to manage the waviness. If it's shorter than this, it becomes frizzy; if it's longer, it looks lanky and unkempt despite my best efforts. It is with this length and style that I feel most feminine. Post Reply
