SarcasticBlonde Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Looking back I realized I have only dated men with brown or dark hair...never a blonde or redhead.. I didn't realize I had a preference
carhill Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 It may be for some people, but reflecting on ~35 years or so of 'attraction', there are no meaningful conclusions from this poster. At my age, I'm hoping, if anything, a lady's attraction is to 'gray' or 'none' I happened to marry a colorist whose natural color before she went gray was dark brown. Needless to say her hair color was an interesting palette during our M. I would say, for her, looking back, darker and longer was more attractive to me.
jerbear Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I always had an affinity to redheads, then brunettes. So yes there are hair color preferences.
somedude81 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 My preferred hair color is blonde but the level of significance is minuscule. There are many other factors more important. Heck, I think a woman's hair style is more important than the color.
elaina Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 My best friend and I joke that we will never fight over a guy because her boyfriend is blonde and blue-eyed and I have only dated guys with black hair. I've been accused of being shallow for this? which maybe I am, but yes I have turned down guys with blonde hair... (though that's not the ONLY reason I've turned down blond guys, but yeah it was a factor) and it's not that I don't think they are attractive; they are. It's just that I am highly drawn to black hair. I don't know why and i don't fight it.
Cracker Jack Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 It is for many, but it honestly makes no difference to me. Well, blue hair does creep me out a bit:laugh:
Untouchable_Fire Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I really can't figure out why so many American women are turned off by blond guys. Maybe it's because all the bad guys in movies throughout the 80's were blond?

Maybe it's because all the bad guys in movies throughout the 80's were blond? Nooo... there are many American women who like blond guys! My best friend is one of them... she and her blond boyfriend are engaged and have been boyfriend/girlfriend for about 3 years. (She is blonde too.) There are many who do like blonds, and there are many who like people with black hair and brown hair too (and no hair), and some who like red hair. Most I think care more about the overall person than just their hair color. Hair doesn't make a person a great human being or not, but that's not what this thread is about.

Yes, there are some women who seem to tolerate it... but it's really common to get rejected as a guy just because of blond hair. I'm serious.
elaina Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Yes, there are some women who seem to tolerate it... but it's really common to get rejected as a guy just because of blond hair. I'm serious. Really? But there are many women who love blond hair I thought! Maybe it depends where you live? Here in MO, my blonde cousin is getting married to her blonde boyfriend tomorrow. My brunette sister married a blond guy years ago, and I personally have never noticed blond men having an issue getting dates. ? I have noticed that redheads are "discriminated against" by some people. However, there are also people who do really like redheads. The guy I'm interested in adores redheads, which I really like that he doesn't just "tolerate" my hair color, you know?
Stung Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I am usually attracted to people with very dark hair, but I have also been attracted to people with brown hair or redheads. I don't think I have ever been initially attracted to a blond, male or female, honestly it's especially a turn-off in women for some weird undefinable reason. I was in a serious relationship with a blond man for two years so obviously it's not the most important facet of attraction to me. I know plenty of women who are attracted to blond men, I know at least a few who have a preference for athletic blond males.
Andy_K Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Blonde > Brunette >>>> Ginger Wouldn't want to get into a serious relationship with a ginger. Even if she looks great, you put your future kids at risk
tb24 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Blonde > Brunette >>>> Ginger Well I'll add some balance. For me that list is entirely reversed Hair colour is probably one of the least important physical traits for me though. As somedude81 said, style is more likely to make me attracted than colour.
Eeyore79 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I prefer brown hair, but blonde hair is ok if the guy has a nice face etc. I really wouldn't want to date someone with ginger hair though - the ginger pubes and chest rug would be really off-putting For some reason I really dislike brown eyes - they're not attractive to me at all. I only once dated a guy with brown eyes, and that was because he was otherwise perfect - even then, his eyes were a fairly light brown. I much prefer to gaze into a pair of blue/green/gray eyes.
Jazzari Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I prefer men with dark hair. I've never dated a blonde or redhead.
lululucy Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I always thought I preferred men with dark hair but my two ltr's have been with blond guys. Almost 99% of my hook-ups have been dark haired though. In other words, I have no helpful answer haha
Pyro Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Never a factor. I've had crushes on every color at some point in time.
ascendotum Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 My preferred hair color is blonde but the level of significance is minuscule. There are many other factors more important. Heck, I think a woman's hair style is more important than the color. For me as well, this quote pretty much covers my feelings on the subject of hair color. Variety of color in my life was more important. What I find interesting is comments I have heard from some women how the color they dye their hair plays a role in how much attention they get from guys and even the type of guys. Blonde being the key color. Had a mate who dyed his hair blonde for a couple of years and he seemed to have a good run with women then. (he had olive skin so it suited him)
spacekey Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 No. I don't even remember hair colors. Say, I'm having a nice conversation with someone at a party... I don't notice her hair color. So the next day I won't have a clue what her hair color was. The same goes for eye color.
tigressA Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Really not into blond guys at all. I used to be when I was younger, but it was a masochistic identifying-with-my-oppressor phase (I crushed on some of the guys who bullied me in school). Now I much prefer dark brown or black hair, particularly black. I do have a special love for gingers, too.
oaks Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 If I have a preference it's Redhead (including auburn, ginger, fake) > Brunette > Darker than Brunette > Lighter than Brunette > Blonde but I think there would usually be other things that I find attractive or not about the person - it's unlikely to be the main selection criterion for me.
Ms. Joolie Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Who really has blond hair these days anyway? That's what I want to know.
sumdude Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Not really. Though the combo of really dark hair and blue or green eyes is always striking to me. It's also my combo and in my family so maybe that's part of it. I do tend to prefer light colored eyes.
Jannah Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 It must be....I can't recall dating a blond, I've always been attracted to/dated men with brown hair. Though, I did date someone for 3 years in my early twenties who had very light brown hair/blondish streaks with blue eyes (I think he has blue eyes, is it wrong that I don't recall exactly if they were blue :lmao:).
xpaperxcutx Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Who really has blond hair these days anyway? That's what I want to know. The last guy I dated had blonde hair. I thought he was gorgeous. As someone who has an affinity to dye her hair 5 times a year for the sake of self-expression, I find color to be a extension of a person's traits and characteristics. Oh, and with the prevalence of hair colors on the market, it's almost impossible to discern the natural blondes/brunettes from the unnatural ones. All I can say is to each his own.
