I’d really appreciate hearing your honest opinions!
When I had my profile photos taken, I had dark brown long hair. But a little while ago, I decided to change things up and got a short haircut in a slightly lighter brown (I meant to go for medium length, but the stylist cut it too short…).
To avoid disappointing the men who contacted me, I wear a dark-colored long-hair wig when meeting them for the first time. However, if they touch my head, they can tell right away that it’s a wig.
I’ve been wondering whether men might be put off by that, and just when I was trying to decide what to do, the club contacted me about retaking my photos.
I thought about having the new photos taken with my natural short hair, but I also feel that medium-to-long hair gives off a more refined, innocent vibe and might be more appealing to men. So I’m really torn about which style to go with from now on…! There are probably lots of lovely women’s profile photos lined up on the club’s site, so I’d like to make the best possible first impression… haha.
Sorry for the rather long post, and I’d really appreciate your advice!
P.S. I asked the men I’m currently seeing which look they preferred, and their answers were split between “I prefer you without the wig” and “Either is fine.” Hmm…

Personally, I’d say I prefer short hair.
Long hair is kind of the trend—or rather, the norm—at dating clubs, and the women I meet there usually have long hair too, haha.
That said, I’d never choose someone to date based on their hairstyle, so either is fine with me.

If you style a wig well, it can look great, but if it’s put on poorly, it can be very obvious and make people wonder, “Why is she wearing a wig?”
I get the impression that many men at Universe prefer to judge women as they really are. So if you currently have short hair, I think it would be better to simply have your photos retaken, especially when you consider what happens after you meet.
You could ask the staff to keep one of your old long-hair photos as well.
You could also mention a few times that, “I have short hair now, but I cut it shorter than I meant to. I actually wanted it around medium length.”
The staff may then include that background in their comments even without you asking.
And even if they don’t, you can write it in your own comment. That way, a man might think, “She has short hair now, but her long-hair photos are pretty nice too,” and still be interested in making an offer.

As for whether it’s a wig or natural hair, honestly, I don’t think it matters either way. There was once a prominent figure in the industry whom everyone involved confidently believed wore a wig, but it never caused him to lose his position. In reality, you can’t exactly reach out and touch someone’s head to check, so if they simply act as though, “What? This grows directly from my scalp,” there’s really nothing more you can say. Historically, wigs have therefore always triumphed in the public eye, allowing talented bald men to play an active role, while behind the scenes—where no one could say it to their face—industry insiders would enjoy discussing the topic over endless drinks, giving the economy a boost through their combined power.
Getting back to the main point, if I had to say what you should choose, it would clearly be long black hair. The classic look for a dating club is the refined, ladylike type, and that means long black hair. Unless you’re particularly trying to make a statement, why not just wear a wig or whatever and go with long black hair?
People say it’ll be obvious if someone touches it, but surely that only happens once you’ve become quite close, doesn’t it? During intimate moments, I may touch a woman’s chest, but not her hair. If her hair isn’t tied back, it gets in the way during certain activities, so in my experience, my, er, lower half probably touches a woman’s hair before my hands do. And I’ve never once detected a wig that way. So even if a relationship begins, I think you can safely assume there won’t be any need to worry about the wig being discovered for the time being.
I hope this helps. And I apologize to any men who wear wigs for using so many potentially sensitive expressions.
