When 37-year-old Simon decided to try his luck on reality television show Married at First Sight, he no doubt assumed it would be his relationship in the limelight and not the mop of hair sitting on his head.
Alas, that wasn’t the case.
Deemed one of the most unlucky-in-love men the experts had ever come across and who was forced to undergo brain surgery in his 20s due to such severe epilepsy, Simon’s story had every ingredient it needed to make his *marriage* as romantic as a blind wedding can be.

Instead, his new wife, Alene, a 31-year-old nurse, was more focused on the duo’s physical relationship, with specific emphasis on his hair.
“The physical attraction is not there, which worries me, because it’s important to have that in a romantic relationship,” she said on the show.
“He is not the type I would usually go for, I mean physically. I definitely like my men taller and stronger looking and the hair … I don’t really like it. The physical attraction is not there.”
Alene’s bridesmaids also weren’t particularly impressed, with one declaring he “needs to lose the hair” and another asking him if he had “ever chopped it off”.
And it appears the three girls may have had a little bit of sway, with an image emerging on Facebook from mid-January showing Simon with remarkably short hair.

I think it's very hard for a man to have curly hair and have it be any length other than pretty darn short. Curls take a lot of time to get looking 'acceptable' and be neat, and lots of men wouldn't be willing to put in that time, which is more than fair enough. The only guys who tend to look mega hot with curly hair are the same guys who would look hot with any possible hairstyle you could put on them. There aren't many male curly hair 'role models' that men could look up, with the exception of Robert Plant in the 70s, and his 70s hair would look RIDICULOUS in today's times. The man himself still wears his hair long and curly, but it's nowhere near as out and proud as it used to be since he's aged.
TL;DR - men who have curly hair kinda drew the short straw unless they're insanely good looking or actually Robert Plant.
Harry Styles....looks gorgeous both with curls & without 😋
Loved Robert Plants curls back in the 70s & Roger Daltrey!!!!
