I do wonder if this is a regional thing, though, but not necessarily east coast/west coast. I imagine things would be different if I lived in a city as opposed to the boondocks. There's alot of picket-fence mindsets out here. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Juicy. Good points.<BR/><BR/>And a comment from Strength/Courage/Wisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110299281724084609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22228942.post-53782396466321956082007-06-08T16:33:00.000-04:002007-06-08T16:33:00.000-04:00Don't trip Strength. You don't want the brainwashe...Don't trip Strength. <BR/>You don't want the brainwashed dudes anyway. That's the way I see it. I actually prefer the guys who approach me when my hair is twisted or just wild and free (or when I'm rocking my "freedom hair" as I like to call it) to the ones who approach when it's pressed straight. I know that the guys who approach me with my natural 'do like the real me and won't look at me Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22228942.post-15676041264812768002007-06-08T15:28:00.000-04:002007-06-08T15:28:00.000-04:00I'll look for you out in the streets, though I hav...I'll look for you out in the streets, though I have no idea of who I'm looking for.

I've had mine for seven years and have never felt that men (or women, for that matter) are turned off by them...actually I get way more compliments on my hair than I care to. Maybe it's a regional thing too...west coasters are inherently ...they call me "L"https://www.blogger.com/profile/11619647479798583176noreply@blogger.com
