I've noticed that a lot of the romances I am starting to get into have been reissued and I look at the old covers and MOSTLY ALL of the older ones have artwork of the ideal male hero, but the thing is they all have long hair, completely muscular, and to me not looking very sexy, more femine and funny-looking.
Has the ideal Hero figure/appeal changed over time? Because I don't find long haired men to be very sex. Maybe I'm young, maybe I'd prefer a man with a different look other than long hair. To me, the hero and heroine have to look completely different. Not have them BOTH look lady-like.
Anyone else like the older version of the ideal hero or the now?

but I still think long hair can be sexy on a guy. That said, my husband has short hair and always has. I suppose that as women our taste in heroes is as varied as our taste in men. Some like long hair, some short, some like blondes, some like jet black hair, some like muscular, some don't, etc.
I have to laugh here because this is something that Cie and I constantly struggle against. She LOVESLOVESLOVES (!) guys with long hair---in real life, and in our books. While she thinks Fabio is sort of creepy (prefers the dark and brooding biker type) this is something we constantly argue about. Given her choice, every single male, in every single one of our books, would have hair down to their butt. I plead and plead for sanity, because how many guys in REAL life have hair that long (outside of an actor or cover model?)
