why do girls have longer hair, typically, than boys?

Beacause most boys cut their hair. Some boys, however, leave it out to grow. Girls on the other hand, want longer hair and not only let it grow, but treat it, at times, with growth gels or other hair creams.

Most people have hair on their chest to begin with whether they are a man or woman, it is just that the thickness varies and depending on what is in their genes the darker the color and texture the more that it will make it appear more obvious.

That is way dependant on the girl its on. For the most part, long hair is far more attractive. However, there are some women that look really sexy in shorter hair styles. I think that it just makes you look older and a bit too serious most the time though.

Maybe you got past the learning curve quickly when it comes to shaving, and hit your most productive shaving time while still in junior high.  \n\nI'd still rather be a girl when it comes to shaving.  Sure it takes more time, but I don't necessarily *have* to shave every day, plus I would think nicks and cuts hurt more on faces than on legs.

It does depend on they guy, but i believe the majority like long hair. Men  think long hair is more feminine.

maybe u do your hair like that of a guy?\n\ni know girls cant play with long hair, so they tie it up\n\nbut you know, when you go out to malls or stuff like that, dress sexy like a girl\n\nso when they see you without your basketball clothes, they'll know that you're straight or something.\n\ntomboy is defined as a girl who behaves in a boyish manner, but it doesnt mean you are gay/lesbian. it's just your behavior ON THE COURT.

Men have more male hormones near the genitals that tend to stimulate hair growth thus we have more hair there

Males genetically start out as females believe it or not. Hormones develop the penis, but as humans we share many same characteristics.\n\nThose that do not fully develop into males or females...well thats another story.

Yes I agree with the previous answer. If you read the book Naked Ape, you will understand there are many genetically coded reasons for that we do. Ultimately this is why men will be attracted to longer hair on Women, and vice versa. Once this is established, going against this trend is not just about being less desirable, but typically results in less success.

My guess, and it's only a guess is that it traps our own unique scent, which then attracts "mates."  Obviously, we only grow hair under our arms at puberty, and what occurs at puberty is that our sex organs develop, so that's the rationale behind my answer.  However, I do not know the biological reason why humans have relatively long hair in their armpits!

There are a lot of kinds of "hair". Each species of mammal has at least one kind of "hair" or fur. Many species have several different specialized types. For example, cat whiskers are very different from regular cat fur in texture and length. One of the main differences in hair is whether it is determinate in length (grows to a certain length and stops) or indeterminate in length (grows for as long as it is alive.) Humans have both kinds in different places on the body. Head hair, scalp and face, is indeterminate. Body hair, arms, underarms, legs, pubic area, fingers and toes is determinate. The only determinate hairs on the head are normal eyebrows, ear hair and nose hairs. I think the reason is obvious. "Wild hairs" are determinate hairs that have encountered a genetic failure. The length possibilities of each type of hair from sheep's wool to seal fur are genetically determined.  Pubic hair is a secondary sex characteristic that signals availability for mating. It is not designed to cover, conceal, protect, or warm the area that produces it. It may have some scent retaining or focusing function too. This is still debatable. I hope this helps.

It's also blibical, that girls w/ long hair get more attention and define 'BEAUTY'...the only woman on this earth who can pull of short/long/no hair is Halle Berry

why do girls talk about boys ?what do girls talk about boys ?

Because when they are a fetus in the womb both males and females grow in the same way upto a certain time when sexual charcteristics develop. \nMales stop growing in that area cause they do not need them for survival whereas females need them for breastfeeding so development continues.  \n\nI think apes have them to!
