Now it's science, not just a saying: Blondes have more fun.
To dye for: Blondes really do have more fun as study reveals women with lighter hair have more confidence | Mail Online
Quote:
In my ... uh ... .research, I'd say that fake blonde hair does typically match an outgoing personality more than any other dye color, but I'm not sure about natural colors. I can definitely agree with the conclusion at the end, though, and I think there's some truth to the stereotype of the crazy redhead (which is why they tend to be a lot of fun, even as just friends.) No particular questions or directed discussion points, I think we all know where this thread is going to go. |

That's like a normally reserved and shy guy putting on an Armani shirt and getting a hip haircut and thinking he's the shit. He'd have more confidence, more likely to feel attractive, etc.
I don't think blonde hair has anything to do with it but more with people adhering to the standard that supposedly blonde hair makes you more attractive and acting the part without even realizing it.

Placebo effect maybe?
Fun article though, hehe. Interesting positive effect for a recessive trait.

I have blonde hair with just a tinge of red, a kind of light strawberry blonde, but my pubes are bright red --well, actually kind of orange-- and I don't shave. My ex used to say that the most beautiful thing in the world was red hair in the sunlight, and on Sunday mornings, would try to get my to lie on the bed so this patch of sunlight landed on my pussy.
But I think most of the thing with hair is for girls/women to constantly talk about and fuss over their hair. I think most guys don't care that much one way or the other about hair. They seem more interested in tits. Lindy |

Maybe people are now just playing into the stereo type. In the beginning it was said that men were attracted to blondes because their hair looks bright and shiny like gold, so the saying came that blonds had more fun, thus creating a generation of girls who thought that with blond hair they too would have more fun and it shows in their personality, thus attracting men, who will then in turn say that blondes have more fun. ARG! The cycle never ends lol.
I have never dyed my hair so I have all of my own natural highlights which include black, brown, red and even a handful of blonde hairs. My hair to most people just looks black or dark brown but in the sun it sparkles with all the colors. And I think I would feel hideous with blond hair so I think as a natural brunette I have as much fun as I can handle.

I'm not sure about that redhead conclusion....I was/am naturally auburn(hair was bright copper as a kid) and my sex life is not that great, but my love life is fantastic
But, because of my hair color and maybe despite it, I have been pegged "firey" and I can be quite emotional. I have friends that are natural "carrot-tops" and they aren't any more or less passionate that I can see. I think sometimes we just start living up to the ideas people have based on our appearance, over time. *shrug* Blondes are the fun ones, but it's the simple brunette you bring home to mother, that sort of thing. |

Hmmmm. Interesting concept. I wonder how different my life would be if I were blonde. Somehow I don't think there would be a drastic difference.

Most women who are blonde have constantly dyed/bleached their hair, so it's fried their brains. Kidding. But...it's possible.
I used to be blonde...but then I've been dark for over 8 years now...and will never go back...though I do have a blonde chunk in my bangs because I like the dramatic look...not because I want to have just 'some' fun. I just think I look older with dark hair, plus I hated all the blonde jokes.
