Beautiful, naïve Spring... Don't you know that people say one thing yet believe another? Having gone the "natural" route I can empathize: Men try to say things to not hurt your feelings even if they feel differently. They've been jumped on too many times by the Pro-natural women that they know it's only acceptable to agree that natural hair is either the same or "better." In real life, I have observed that men gravitate towards women who have non-Natural hair (admittedly, because a lot of natural "sistas" don't know how to take care of their hair...but that's discussion for another day).
As a preference, I like men with thick, curly hair. Does this mean I don't find men with short hair, locs, or shaved heads attractive? No. My opinion on the matter is that if your hair (or lack thereof) is tastefully done and can accentuate your looks, then you look good to me.
I have a girlfriend who has natural, short hair (textured into curls) which fits her bohemian style. Men and women hit on her left and right when we go out so I know natural hair does not limit her options. Now does she get hit on as much as someone else with relaxed hair? We'll have to do another social experiment before I can comment on that definitively.
The funny thing is, I was originally a bit self conscious after cutting my hair, because I was so accustomed to having long hair, but now, I'm getting more and more comfortable with my short hair (since its already grown a lot in such a short time period ). I have my hair growth goals in place and I'm steadily seeing great results.
Lately, I've noticed that more non black men are approaching me. When I had straight hair, it rarely happened, but now it's much more frequent. The only thing that I will say is, having very curly hair often makes you look younger (and that was not exactly the look that I was trying to achieve darn-it, because I'm a professional woman) but such is life.
Weaves are the absolute worse. And the ones with parts should be banned because we can clearly see the part is not part of your scalp. I do honestly have to say is I don't mind relaxed, natural or curly but I don't like natural wild and crazy Erika Badu hair.
That's true, but have you noticed that more and more black women are foregoing those weaves and relaxers and instead embracing their natural hair? A number of black women throughout D.C. are natural.
There are two types of black women in DC when it comes to this.
1. Ghetto/Supericial = Weave or dreads
2. Howard students/bougie/afro-centric = Natural and weave every now and then.

How silly of you. Black women are far more complex than just fitting into "two" categories. I guess there are only two types of black men in DC:
1.Ghetto/Thug, and
2. Howard Students/bougie/afroc-centric types.
