andreautick Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Ok, so, in expanding a debate I'm having with some of my friends, I want YOUR opinion! Do you prefer blonde or brunette or redheads? With your answer, if you don't mind, please say WHY!! If you also would like, I'm interested in any stereotypes you associate with any of the haircolors. It's kind of wierd to think about, a lot of us don't think we stereotype, but I think we all do in some respects. It's easier for our mind to process stimuli if we can file it into a neat, stereotyped category Thanks a lot, I can't wait to hear your comments!
greenhorn Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 A Woman is always beautiful. Ladies are beautiful creation of God and I believe in God.
NTB Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 i am going just on my past track record here that i like brunette's but i agree with greenhorn on women being beautiful
Fuzzy Chickens Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I vote Albino. White hair is awesome. Originally posted by greenhorn A Woman is always beautiful. You obviously haven't seen some of the women I've seen...
Marshbear Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I personally like brunettes. I don't really know why but I always seem to be drawn to brunette first. I should also say my last 3 G/F have been blondes so go figure. All women are beautiful and sexy in their own way.....
quankanne Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 a hair-eye combination that looks exotic, I say. I've always thought that people with dark hair and light eyes were the most striking because of the color combination, though other unusual mixes are pretty neat, like hazel or brown eyes and blonde hair. Never really met a redhead up close, so I'll have to think about that one! if you're thinking about dyeing your hair, also take into consideration your skin tone/color, and don't do anything that'll "wash" your looks out ... that is, if the subject is hair-dyeing ...
Linlin Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Life is too short not to be blond! I am very blond right now and happy with it. I have to say I feel I do get more attention being this blond as opposed to when I was dirty blond.
alphamale Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Originally posted by Linlin I have to say I feel I do get more attention being this blond as opposed to when I was dirty blond. blondes catch my eye!
EC Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Life is too short not to be blond! For real! lol I have had all colors but with my skin and eye color I like Light brown with highlights which is what I have. Besides I always say I'd rather be blonde now and then later on when I actually have to cover gray hairs I'll turn brunette again. And I look funny with red hair. Not my color.
tegteg Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Brunettes for me is the Usual. Brown Hair, Eyes, and Skin is what i usually are attracted to. But im sooooo picky that it takes awhile. Blonds every now and then. This girl that i would like to see is blond? But no redheads, dont know why, just not diggin em... As far as stereo types, the redheads from my experiance all have a temper and cant take a joke (dont get me wrong im sure theres othters that are fine). Blondes (true), usual are kinda "getty" flirty and a lil dumb... Brunettes, more sexual then the other 2, "playful", hyper.....
Author andreautick Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 Well, more like "Why I am asking for my group of friends," lol. My group of three best friends used to all be blond. Two of us were "bottle blondes" and one was natural, dark blond getting darker as time goes by. The two that were "bottle blonde" including myself just had highlights and it looked subtle and pretty-not that chunky "Hi, I dye my hair" look--although that does work for some. We never felt it suited our skin tone though, we always felt kind of "ruddy." She has blue eyes, I have green eyes and we are pretty pale (living in Montana will do that to ya, lol). We both recently dyed our hair DARK, and we both really like it. Our natural blonde friend still stands by her blonde. And, since my other friend and I have dyed our hair (hers is ALMOST black, mine is dark ash brown) we've noticed we're treated different. We both like it a lot, and we agree that dark hair and light eyes are pretty striking, but we're all trying to figure out why society treat different hair colors differently, and what others think of hair color. So, I'm really enjoying what you all have to say, and I can't wait to hear more! Andrea
whichwayisup Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 As far as stereo types, the redheads from my experiance all have a temper and cant take a joke (dont get me wrong im sure theres othters that are fine). Well I do have a temper at times, but WHO doesn't?? At 34 now I control my anger alot better than I used to. Alot of what people get upset about just isn't worth it. I know I'm very laid back now and infact it takes ALOT to really piss me off. When I DO get to that point though - Watch out!! Firey Redhead on the war path! Not kidding either - Just ask my hubby! (or my mom! LOL!) Oh I can take a joke all right! I can take things to a new and higher level - and I don't offend easily either.
HokeyReligions Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I admit, I'm a sucker for redheads! The little boy who played Ron in the Harry Potter movies is adorable! I think Danny Kaye was uber sexy and I love his red hair. Yes, there are stereotypes associated with hair color, and skin color, etc. (dumb blond jokes?) and I think where I grew up red heads were seen as Norman Rockwellish -- wholesome, but mischievous. I dunno, I just like red hair--and not because mine is red, but I've always been glad it was.
FolderWife Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 blonds But I like brunettes and red heads too. I like them all..but on women, I like blond...and brown...and red... I DON'T KNOW! I like them all. On a scale of 1-10, here's how they rate. blond=10 brown=9.99 red=9.98 hee hee Seriously though, I like blond hair skinny surfer types, brown or black hair an asian exotic types, and red hair on sexy firey types. Ya get me?
whichwayisup Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I've always been attacted to dark hair. Brown, black. Never blonde or redheads. IT IS very rare that redheads go for other redheads...I don't know why.
FolderWife Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 *smacks forehead* I misspelled blonde AGAIN! Why do I ALWAYS type it without the freaking e!?
GirlDown Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 you can spell it either way. i think it depends on the person...if i see a very obviously fake blonde, i think it looks bad. i also think some fake black looks bad, it's course and liked navy-blue tinged cotton candy. if you can pull off the blonde thing, and you want to for whatever reason, go for it. same with other colours. i tend to think that whatever you're born with (or grow into) is what looks bes because your colouring is usually a pretty good fit. i have very, very dark hair and for me to go blonde (not that i want to or ever will) would look ridiculous. the carpet wouldn't match the drapes, if you know what i'm sayin' sayin'. (although, since i don't have carpet, i guess i should say my drapes wouldn't match my eyebrows instead, which would be an even more obvious indicator...) as for men, i have never dated a blonde or a redhead, and i am not attracted to either.
EC Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Blondes--I dunno some look skimpy..some look really hot and pretty..but whenever I see blondes I think they are going to steal my man,. Brunettes-- I think of them as classic beauties. I think they are sexy and if they have the brown hair brown eyes even better. I always think they are really smart for some reason. Red Heads-- I think they are fiery lol They have 'TUDE. I always think they are flighty and for some reason all the red heads I know have great legs? Black hair--I think goth..or they have issues? Some are really beautiful though if they have the light eyes going on.
GirlDown Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Originally posted by EC Black hair--I think goth..or they have issues? Some are really beautiful though if they have the light eyes going on. my mom has naturally black hair and light eyes. it's neat. she's no goth though, i don't think...lol and no blonde will ever steal my man, this i know. well, no woman, but especially a blonde. he can't stand blonde hair. he says he just doesn't like it, it's too transparent, no substance. i think maybe he has had an issue with one!

My bf like either really really blonde girls with tan skin and light brown eyes...or really light skin with dark hair and green eyes. I'm neither? Do you see the bumble bee action going on with the roots of my hair? I think its about that time to call my hairstylist! lol

I have super dark hair - it sucks, I can't highlight it or anything! Just same 'ol hair straightener one day...curling iron one day...gel, mousse, whatever. Sometimes I wear colored contacts like green or blue if I want to be more exotic. Umm..not like you can't totally tell its fake, but oh well, whatever! Bubbly

But since that, I met sooo many more ppl who LOVED my dark dark hair...so I guess I'm over being dumped for JENNIFER!!! Yea, that was that hoochies name! Bubbly
analyzetheworld Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I am naturally drawn to brunettes myself. As far as stereotypes go, I see blondes as the party girls (generally), and brunettes as the more quiet girls. Not being much of a party person myself, this may be why I'm drawn to brunette girls...interesting thing to think about. Good luck with the research.

Good luck with the research. i have very dark hair and i'm very loud, and have way more fun than a lot of blondes i know..and other brunettes... so much for stereotypes.
