That's a bit odd in that I don't think I've even seen it to be generally true. If it was like that, every woman would have luxurious long hair, but it seems like shorter hair is the rule more than exception, and MANY men rank shorter hair as attractive.
So I sort of feel like rating this as myth/untrue. There are of course things like Rapunzel which enforce this myth though, but it's telling in truth her hair wouldn't be practical or all that attractive.
That notwithstanding that I actually LOVE long hair myself. First of all, it's feminine, one of the strongest signals. Many women, particularly these days, would be almost indistinguishable from men if it weren't for hair. Secondly, it's very aesthetic and sensual to brush or play with if you ever get the chance; one of the more intimate things you can do even with clothes on. And speaking of that, ahem yeah, the way it frames certain female and even on occasion male features is just exquisite. Younger girls often sport shorter hair, possibly inspired by various Disney princesses, so not only are many men's defining experiences with long hair, but it carries the air of youth and vitality. Implications of health and socioeconomic status might play a little part, too, subconsciously.
