I have had long to medium-long hair for years now...about 10 years. Before that, I had it short for even longer. So I have tried a lot of hair styles. Short is very practical, and it can feel very empowering. It gave me a pixie look I quite liked. I have a small face and features with big eyes so it suited me at the time. Then I got tired of short and now that I know what to do with them, I love my wild curls.
I have been with guys when I had my hair short and when I've had it long, and I think they prefer it long. Mainly because it's good to grab...and run fingers through. Short was good because it didn't get in the way during sex...Sometimes hair can be annoying. If I could, I'd get rid of all body hair except for a few wispy blonde bits here and there (I'd keep head hair and eyebrows entirely of course!).
I am currently considering going crazy and doing something radical with my hair though...stay tuned
