No, I meant that women are open about not being single anymore. It is like some huge sigh of relief for them, as the poster mentioned.
I can remember eating lunch at one job with a bunch of married women and they went on about how they were so glad they weren't single and not having to go through dating nowadays.
For women, it's like some status symbol, or sign they are "worthy" or "taken"...as if being single means someone isn't any good.
I don't think men are the same. I have heard men say they wish they hadn't married.
It's still a status symbol for men. Just in many cases they actually had their spouses actually TRY beforehand, until a bit after the ring got put on. Suddenly they're now stuck in the same house with a roommate, have sex once every 2 weeks if their lucky, etc... Just the way things seem to go when that's the ultimate goal without many other stipulations.
Not every woman can pull off the short hair look. Thinner women have a better chance of looking good than heavier women. Obese women do NOT look good with short hair, it only makes their faces look rounder. I notice many women will chop their hair off once they are married. I think it's a laziness thing. They already got the ring on the finger so they quit trying. They cut the hair because it's easier to maintain, and then wonder why their husbands are looking at other women or checking out porn. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I've noticed this with many married women. I was just talking about this recently with a friend. We noticed a local school teacher who was a real head turner, she had long brown hair, a nice figure, and knew how to dress. A year later, she was married with a baby and had short hair, gained about 40 pounds and wore sloppy clothes. I understand women will gain weight during pregnancy, but she really let herself go after that ring went on her finger.
Nebulous, if you are slender, petite, or have a smaller face, than perhaps short hair will work for you, but I think most men prefer long wavy hair on a woman, at least from my opionion and that of many of my friends. Try photo-shopping some photos of yourself to see what you would look like with shorter hair. Or cut and paste your face onto other photos with the hair styles you are considering so you have a rough idea of what it will look like.
I have been told I look good with either long or short hair. I just like the feeling of my hair longer. It doesn't hang down straight, it is wavy-curly, kind of like bedroom hair.
It's sort of my rebellion thingy, like I am single and older and I don't fit into the stereotype of a woman my age.

I don't know, from how I have heard men talk, they don't want to be married. It is the women who brag, even if they have some couch potato at home, that they are glad to be married.
Women always have to bring up the husband in a conversation, but I can talk to a guy who is married at work, and they don't bring up the wife.

Just because you don't put the trophy on display on the front mantel of your home, doesn't mean it isn't on a shelf somewhere.
People take advantage of each other once they get that ring all the time. I think more often then the stereotype of letting themselves go. It tends to be not tending to the "yes, your still the most awesome woman ever" in expression towards the woman, and usually being more disregarding of the physical needs of the guy from the other side. Which is the usual reason why those men are all "why the hell did I do it?!".

Sort of the opposite of demonizing...
Maybe rationalizing?
But I think among women, it is a status symbol to be married. You can hear that sigh of relief in their voice that they are taken and aren't alone. It is more about being married, than who they are married to, because they talk about being married, rather than "being married to Joe".
I don't know, I never fit into all of that. I have to do things for the quality of it, rather than the surface act. I would rather be single than compromise myself. That's not about being picky.
But I really believe a lot of women force a guy to marry them because they think they deserve it after "putting in time" with him over so many years...I have heard some talk like this. I wouldn't want a guy to marry me out of obligation or duress. No way...I'd want him to marry me because he wanted me, and vice versa.
Short hair is easier to manage. Long locks are sexy but if the woman works, the maintenance is ridiculous. Long hair is for teens. Short hair is sophisticated and grown up.

I think that's sad. I think if a man is in love with his wife, why not talk about her? The aweful thing is, people let themselves go after marriage (ew) so of course, nothin to brag about there...
Personally, I think being able to talk about your wife and how much you love her to other men takes a whole different kinda man. He's gotta be confident. Not your typical man...which most women arent attracted to anyways. Well, maybe I should speak for myself...
