hey guys,

i think i might have posed the question wrong. i'm not asking what hair color you prefer or if hair color is a factor in deciding whether you are attracted to someone. however, if you are gonna say that you are attracted to brunettes, then i'd like to know why??? otherwise, it doesn't mean anything.

anyway, i'm wondering if anyone subconsciously thinks that blonds are more attractive or could be more attractive? for example, if you see two good looking women in the room, do you notice the blond first?

why do you think so many women dye their hair blond?

why do we have "dumb blond jokes" and on the other hand, we say "blond bombshell" and not "brunette bombshell."

is it possible that you all are not affected by society in this way? of course it is but why? how? what do you think about these things?

Well, maybe it's a regional thing. Are Americans the only ones who use the term 'blond bombshell'?

Or maybe the blonds will get noticed first because they are actually the minority? Dark hair, dark eyes, and darker skin are actually genetically more prominent.

I don't know. But what I do know is that I'd have to disagree with your friend who thinks that brunettes resent or envie blond women. Blonde hair will get you no where if it's on an ugly face (no offense)...

I'm into hawt women of all appearances (read: hawt), but on the given scenario with two identical women, one blonde, and one brunette, I'd probably be more attracted to the blonde, if even the slightest amount. Here's why:

Blondes to me are more exotic. Being an asian male, blonde hotties are the kind of women I am not supposed to be able to get. Maybe that's a severe exaggeration, but I sometimes get that vibe from society. Blonde white women are also exotic in relation to my ethnicity. I know a lot of white dudes who like asian chicks...well, it's the same thing, except reversed. Colored eyes are the best. And finally, my definition of beauty has been heavily influenced by society...I find a lot of quailities attractive in females such as straighter volumous hair, lack of body hair, full tits, etc. Qualities such as these vary from society to society. Unfortunately the (blonde) white woman carries these traits most famously, so I look like a racist.

Those are the reasons why I probably seem like a dog, but the reality is that anyone who is hawt takes precedence over these rationalizations I've listed.

hey man...thanks for your post. this is EXACTLY the type of honestly i was hoping to get and understand from people. i'm so happy that you mentioned a bit about yourself, too and i can relate (to a certain extent).

basically, the "friend" that i mentioned in my first post is my boyfriend and he said it in reaction to me! i was quick to dismiss his comment but the more i thought about it, i started to realize that i did have sort of warped deep, deep seeded resentment and envy of blond women, even if buried and only slight. i didn't think i did but the more i started to take notice of my response to blond women, it was pretty obvious. i'm not an asian male but i'm also not a white women so even if i dyed my hair, i still wouldn't be "blond". while it's not analogous to your situation, i do have a similar subconscious (or conscious) interest in blond hair as it carries the same connotation of exoticism, beauty and the feeling that it's totally out of reach.

otherwise, my boyfriend is chinese and i'm black/SE asian (of course i'm both ethnicities but i look more black). i pretty sure that my boyfriend grew up feeling the same way that you did and for the same reasons you mentioned. and actually...now that i think about it, that's probably the reason that he could pinpoint my own insecurity. anyway, he did end up with me and that's still pretty rare to see!

You're very welcome. I have a feeling most of those who vehemently denied attraction to blondes out of nowhere are afraid to admit that they are in fact attracted to blondes but don't want to look shallow, or are indeed carrying some kind of resentment towards blondes. It probably has to happen because society LOVES blonde women and there has to be some kind of rationalization occuring within the minds of everyone who witnesses it.

Now if you'll excuse me I am going to try to spit some game to one of these blonde hotties.

No I'm not kidding. Bye.

Blondes are cool, but brunettes are more exotic. There are so many blondes and we've been told that blondes are the best. I dont feel that way. Dark hair is just hot. I guess I should specify that I mean black hair, not just brown.

Black>blonde>brown>red hair>punk hair

Derwyddon, i totally know what you mean about eye color. i personally love green eyes -- they are so intriguing and really mesmerizing!

i never really thought too much about it, but i definitely get pangs of jealously when green-eyed women are around. green eyes are just freakin' hot but i never notice them on men. strange i guess. but anyway, like you basically said, the grass is always greener...

and girl, please - you didn't ramble! thanks for sharing

I go to about three sections of this forum regularly. This is the most glaring example I have seen, lawlz.

Ah...anyway...I love green eyes. There was this girl I went to high school with who had green eyes...I think I'm still in love. Or at least some form of infatuation....We've talked maybe five times, ever.

Well, this is a tough one. First of all I'd like to say I don't discriminate like that towards a woman with ANY hair color, that's sort of stupid IMO. But wow, when it comes down to it, I'd have to say blonde. But this is just my own personal interest.

I have green eyes!

I don't really care what color a guy's eyes are. My first boyfriend had blue eyes and blonde hair and my second had brown eyes and black hair. I liked the black hair better, but I could care less about the eye color.
