I haven't actually ran across a lot of men who hate curly hair.
Personally for me, it would be a dealbreaker, so maybe that's
why. To me, someone telling me I need to start straightening is
no different then someone saying I need plastic surgery. Someone
asking me once to straighten, I say a big no, and forget it, but
if it keeps coming up, or they were to say they don't like my
curls, then I'm gone. Curly hair is part of who I am, physically
and psychologically. So it's like saying there's a big a part of
me that they don't like. And I am who I am, love me for it, or
move on.
