What a RIDICULOUS and ignorant statement to make. We have 5 to 6 billion women in this world with different face structures, different ethnicities, different hair textures ect ect and what may look attractive on one woman will not fit every other woman.

I think you also have to becareful making such a broad statement as well since CULTURE plays a huge role on definition of beauty. You will find men of the ethnic or urban community ( black/latin) that prefer their women with curly hair and a thicker shape where a White or Asian man liking a very thin woman with sleek straight hair.

In my opinion we have too many people in this world with different taste to make such a broad statement. She cant speak for every man. And honestly, as much as i know physical appearance plays a role in attracting a mate, i still should hope a man who had ginuwine interest in a woman wouldnt be caught up with whether her hair is curly or straight from day to day. Their are much more bigger priorities to focus on in a mature relationship then that lol.

P.s. Being bi-racial i am able to wear my hair curly and straight and im approached more by men when its curly then straight. I prefer to rock my natural curls and stand out!! Not blend in and follow the crowd!! Learn to love your uniqueness curly girls!!!

It’s funny to me that a woman who was a little thick in the waist and just got a man, is always telling women that they are fat, have bad hair, and that’s why they don’t have a millionaire. So if she is so great and her hair is so awesome why did it take her so long to get a man? She is a joke.

Every time I watch that show and hear that stupid woman (Stanger) say that men only like straight hair (and that they don’t like women with red hair), I want to reach through the TV and b*tch-slap her. She is so out of touch! My hair is reddish-gold and curly, and men LOVE it. So do I.

When I was younger, I used to spend hours straightening my hair, and I was constantly fussing with it. Once I started wearing it natural and curly, though, it ignited something in me–a sensuality and confidence that I NEVER had when I was forcing my hair to be straight. When I shake out my curls, I feel like a WOMAN: powerful, sensual, and beautiful. And, men take notice. Maybe it’s the hair, or maybe it’s the confidence. All I know is, I’ve NEVER had a man tell me he’d rather my hair was straight.

And by the way, Patti Stanger looks like a trout. There’s no way I’m looking to her for fashion tips anyway! She’s constantly wearing clothing made for a woman half her age–and size!

I had to laugh at Stangers comment. She wants everyone to look the same with long straight boring hair. The one time I blew my hair straight my husband had a fit and demanded that I go wash it again and get back my curls. And I am 61 years old!!!! I guess the only guys she can find as are emptied headed as the women.

Patti’s standard of beauty is so antiquated. In her book she calls anyone with curls,curves or color in their skin “Exotics” which may not sound like an insult until you read what she says about “Exotics.” In a nutshell, she says so-called “Exotics” are attractive to men only because they are different, not because they are beautiful. Famous “Exotics” include Halle Barry, Selma Hayak, Angelina Jolie, Iman, and other very beautiful women. So, I think that sums her up. She’s probably just jealous. In my life, my friends with the big pretty curls of all ethnicities were the ones who snagged the guys and I grew up in a homogenous, east coast suburbian community, just like Patti. So, she’d better check her Playbill. Men love my natural curls and they love yours too, girls.

LOL!!! I’m dying over here. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long while. Thanks for making tears run down my face and my stomach hurt from laughing uncontrollably. Aside from this, I have nothing remotely beneficial to add to this conversation.

I am one of those naturally curly girls who has gone back and forth from straight to curly over the years. I recently went back to curly, and am LOVING every minute of it! The ease, the beauty of the natural curl, and the feeling that I am being the REAL me is exhilarating. No more “cookie cutter” for me! It is so true that compliments are so much more common with natural curly hair. My husband loves it too. Also, I feel so blessed to have found this website. It is so nice to be a part of a group of women who appreciate the naturally curly look, and don’t bow down to the pressure to flat iron (aka destroy) our hair! Thank you!

I’m Native American, love my curly hair and think the whole approach by this lady is soooo superficial….it’s not about the hair anyway. It’s what kind of energy we project. My man loves me for ALL of me, not just a part.

BTW, I’m Black with a White husband and he HATES my hair relaxed. He was 100% behind me doing the BC and he’s a HUGE reason I don’t go back to relaxing because he encourages me and tells me how beautiful I am every day. It’s not what all men want, it’s what some men want who aren’t big enough to overcome what’s expected of them.

@ jennsimm, WOW!!! How unnecessary. No one here is bashing any other poster, everyone has the right to be angered/offended by anything they see fit. That would be like telling someone Black NOT to be upset because they were just called out of their name or asking an overweight person to not be angry or feel sensitive when a tasteless fat joke is told. It’s still someone saying, “you’re not good enough because you don’t conform”. It’s an unfair statement to say that ALL of anyone prefers any one type of woman based on hair, color or any other thing that may strike their fancy. What it boils down to is a preference and it’s not YOUR place to tell anyone they can’t be upset by it. She may not have influence on their personal lives but she is in the mainstream and will be heard by millions which unfortunately in today’s society means a lot to some shallow people. This is why we can’t move past the skinny blonde hair and blue eyed beauty myth.
