Why are so many men so obsessed with blondes? Is it a kinky thing?

[Anonymous]

In this video,
"According to a British study, blonde women earn 7% more"
"they also marry men who are high earners"
"blonde waitresses get bigger tips"
"if you're fundraising hire a blonde woman: they raise 70% more in door-to-door fundraising"
"in a study on images that men find attractive, they rated blondes highest"

Why the fuck is that? If those 'facts' are true, it's just so unfair. Especially if you have a face that wouldn't look good with blonde hair, so you and your brunette hair will always lose to the ditsy blonde who earns 7% more than you just because she's a fucking blonde.

I don't get it, I really don't. Why this obsession over blonde girls? I used to think that men have equally different tastes,
but if these statistics in the video were true, and I think there's a good chance they could be true, then the world is messed up and should just get hit by a meteor.

Well, I like blonde hair and also red, but don't dislike other natural colors, and I agree with you dyed hair looks too fake. Woman can be beautiful with any hair color.

As to the study, I'd be partly suspicious. Wage earning stats are often either just plain fake or very misleading, as the male vs. female ones are. Probably, careerwise or husband-wise, it is a case of correlation rather than causation.

In matters of attraction, there is at least a partial tendency, for like preferring like. Blonde nearly means 100% white. When groups are separated racially, whites often do better than most other groups, saving in some instances East Asians. They are less likely to commit crime, they tend to have more education, and on average a higher measurable IQ. The reasons are no doubt complex and theories are controversial. But these things are linked to higher wage.

As to the waitress and fundraising thing. Don't know about the exact numbers, I could see some advantage happening just on looks. But how are looks ever fair? No doubt, there are some ugly blondes out there and many knockout brunettes. Men are also judged on their looks.

Have you taken into account that these could be biased/bs results based on a small demographic? I love brunettes and blondes are meh compared to them (blondes are pretty tho). This is just as subjective as boob size or d*ck size. These studies about professional workplace hair color differentials also left out stats for other hair colors, how much more they made, and sources so I would put no faith in them. Also they didn't talk about other factors such as facial structure, boob size and social capability. These are my thoughts on the matter of hair color discrimination and why its not necessarily true.

[Asker]

we should conduct a research with a twin then, one would be blonde, the other brunette. Tell them to waitress for some months at the same restaurant, and count the amount of tips they receive.

[Opinion Owner]

Identical twins have the same genetic coding, they'd have the same color hair.

[Asker]

yeah I know, one of them would dye their hair, of course...

[Opinion Owner]

I also think that the tips would be unreliable as one could just be horrible at waiting and the other could just get her customers drunk and extort them for tips. I truly think its subjective and their are so many variables that you'll never get a true statistic

[Opinion Owner]

I feel like a deep I didn't even think of having one of them dye there hair, I was thinking of altering their genetic codes lol.

[Asker]

lol go home kid, you're drunk and thinking too complicated things

[Opinion Owner]

Just station the facts

[rachelbrrtt]

Please don't lump all blondes in the same category. just because you don't like what you read (which studies can be and often are proven wrong later on or can even skewed-shocking I know)

I happen to be blonde and I'm actually ranked first in my high school class right now with a 4.4 gpa. It's the blondes who are from a bottle that make all blondes seem stupid

Not all blondes are ditsy. And there are other factors to consider, such as big boobs or nice butt.

As a blonde most people just assume your stupid, easy, or are only good as eye candy. While a brunette is more likely to be taken seriously ( girls, both blonde and brunette, have ideas and thoughts too?- again shocking)

Don't think a blondes life is all sunshine and daisies because we have just as many problems.

All of this is from my personal experience, not necessarily hard fact, and things may be ( kind of doubt it though) different where you're from

[Asker]

I didn't say that all blondes are ditsy. Don't get all defensive on me lol

[rachelbrrtt]

'will always lose to a ditsy blonde' those are your words darlin. You may have just been mad and not meant it that way but you made it seem like it's all blondes that are ditsy. And I do get perturbed by people who think blondes have it easier. Plus I'm kind of a smart ass when I get mad (which I guess you took as defensive)

[Johannaxo]

Maybe because they stand out more? Lol. Most people are brunettes.

Don't get caught up in all the hype though different men do have different tastes. And not ALL blondes get all the benefits mentioned.

A beautiful woman will always get attention regardless of hair color.

Studies say that physically beautiful people get treated better and make more money in general.

[evelynbriana]

The video has no hard-core evidence to back up any of the points made. If anything, I've heard more people say they prefer brunettes over blondes rather than the other way around. (I love blondes though, don't get me wrong.)

[islands7]

The WHY part is the puzzler but when Loni Anderson thought she would change her life, become an actress, she studied WHAT would make HER more attractive - to the point of drooling. One study she made was going into bars with different color/style wigs. Considering the attentions & free drinks she got, she determined blonde was one of her keys to Hollywood.

That said, even though I prefer busty blondes and can't say why in full,
I've fallen hard for long haired brunettes, A-cup due to aesthetics and sexual free thinking.

[ketfoen]

Since when has obsession become a blond thing?
Everybody knows most men are obsessed with Asian girls, get with the times!

[Asker]

and Asian guys are obsessed with blondes! lol! Well we're talking about hair color here.

[Ryans42]

Not true I like girls with black and brown hair plus red because to me it has that sophisticated look to them which you don't find in blondes so really it depends on the guys

[Asker]

still, according to this vid blondes get more benefits than girls with other hair colors. Means a huge percentage of men prefers blonde women. But WHY?

[GigiGigiGigi]

No, brunettes with very dark long hair are the hottest ;-)

[Asker]

the stats in the video didn't seem to agree with you...

[GigiGigiGigi]

I'm just kidding you!

[Asker]

you're not giving a good answer to the question...

[kheserthorpe]

I prefer brunettes.

I've read that more men like brunettes. However the supply and demand favours blondes. More men like blonde women then there are blonde women.

[Asker]

Thanks to all the attention blondes get, more women are dying their hair blonde today.

[kheserthorpe]

I know. So disappointing :p

[CypherV]

I prefer non-white, non-blonde women, but that's just me.

[zombiebabe]

nice dude

[CypherV]

Thanks, my family don't agree so I get a lot of pressure by them, but I can only like what I like.

[Beeaannssiiee]

Blondes are hot in my opinion and I'm a chick. That's probably why

[Asker]

the question is WHY are blondes hotter than brunettes?

[BertMacklinFBI]

just say "Kate Middleton":p BOOOOM done. haha. honestly they're all hot:p its just preference.

[Asker]

then why the benefits that they get compared to other women? (earn more, raise more money, etc) Means a huge percentage of men prefers blonde women. But WHY?

[BertMacklinFBI]

I guess cause the way society has been molding people that most men's preference is towards blondes, hence the more special treatment. but by no means does that mean blondes are better in any way.

[Asker]

I didn't say that blondes are better. I just can't accept that they get special treatment when they do the same job (or maybe less) than non blondes.

[BertMacklinFBI]

I know you didn't I just added that cause I wanted too haha.

[Rissyanne]

I am a blonde... Sorry I dont believe that just because of a hair color that you are smarter. That is just ignorance in itself. At work I get a lot of dumb blonde jokes... but it is mostly from older men that just want to get into my pants. I am over the payroll dept for an aerospace company. I am good at my job because I work hard... not because of my hair color.

[Asker]

I didn't say anything about being smart... I only mentioned about women of a certain hair color earning more than women sporting other hair colors. I didn't generalize. Don't get too overly sensitive.

[Asker]

also, you're not answering the question.

[Rissyanne]

I was addressing a comment made by one of your other responses. I dont see the obsession. I am not the one who is being overly sensitive. You are the one that seems to have the issue with blondes.

[BertMacklinFBI]

which aerospace company do you work for?

[Rissyanne]

Sorry... I am not giving out that info.

[Asker]

which one? I never said that blondes are dumber. You get defensive all of a sudden. I don't have issues with blondes, I have issues if they are getting special treatment from people and earn more just because of the hair color.

[Rissyanne]

You need to go back and read your own question. It makes you seem very bitter towards blondes. I have nothing to be defensive about. I will admit I have met guys who prefer blondes... but there are just as many who prefer redheads and brunettes.

[Asker]

I'm not bitter towards blondes, I just don't like the special treatment they get just because of their hair color. As long as they don't get special treatment, I'm fine with blonde people.

[Rissyanne]

Well I have never been the recipient of that special treatment you are talking about.

[AndyWes]

blond hair indicates higher estrogen, doesn't it?

kind of like how having muscles shows more testosterone.

[still_waiting]

No, it doesn't. Wtf? Blonde hair is about genetics. By your logic, Hispanics, Asians and Blacks have no estrogen.

[Asker]

what? lol I've never heard of that before... who said that blonde hair indicate higher estrogen? Have you never seen Sofia Vergara and her curves? Don't tell me she has less estrogen than Pamela Anderson... And there are hot, muscular guys who are natural blondes too.

[still_waiting]

And blonde haired men have high estrogen, by your logic. Like skin color its genetic

[still_waiting]

@asker what he is saying is clearly retarded. Hair color is strictly genetic

[Asker]

@still_waiting: I know, I've noticed that about him lol

[decemberxblue]

I think what he meant to say is that blonde is an indicator, like large bone structures in men are indicators of high testosterone. Although, I'm not saying his statement is valid, I don't know.

[Asker]

How is blonde hair an indicator? There's no relation between hormones and hair color...

[Johannaxo]

I've heard that too reading theories on how blonde hair came about. I don't know how true it is but Sophia Vergara is actually a natural blonde.

[Asker]

Alright, Salma Hayek then.

[AndyWes]

www.relationshit.com/blog/2006/mc1rs-have-more-fun
listverse.com/.../

I've read claims blond hair indicates higher estrogen, so it's more attractive. See links for examples. Idiot.

[AndyWes]

Oh, and another source. evolution.anthro.univie.ac.at/.../...esthetics.pdf

[Asker]

I'm sorry, but are you trusting a source that calls itself "Relationshit: Brutally honest dating advice for the cynical, bitter and jaded."? Sounds like the stuff guys who believe in all that alpha male bullshit believes in. NOT science. "Well, if this theory turns out to be valid, we'd advise you to avoid screwing true blondes, and instead, stick to blondes with dark roots. Because your genes won't be able to tell the difference, and your sperm won't figure it out until it's too late." Riiiight. Because valid scientific articles sound like that. I will read the Darwinian aesthetics a little later, and I will read most of it.

[lordDerp09283]

Not saying I agree or disagree, but 2 things 1: the base amount of any chemical in a body is determined by DNA/genes just like hair and eye color (although they can all be influenced by external factors such as what you eat, how you feel, what time of the month it is - women only - and how much you exorcise), 2: its quite possible that the estrogen level gene and the hair color gene are linked even if only slightly (not too sure), though that's only a theory and I do have no evidence to back it up, the whole blonde = high estrogen theory is quite popular. The whole argument "does that mean men have higher estrogen levels if they are blonde" is flawed anyway, as men have a XY chromosome not XX so their DNA is fundamentally different (as they make far more testosterone). not only that but many people do say "blondes have SLIGHTLY higher levels of estrogen" but like i said, i personally dont know nor care if that fact is true.

[Asker]

well if that's true that blonde hair indicates higher estrogen levels, then according to that, African and Asian women aren't fertile at all, huh? Tell that to the Chinese lol And African women have some serious ass and boobage, if that's not feminine then I don't know what is.

[still_waiting]

Sigh. What you fail to understand is that skin color, eye color, and hair color are mostly genetic if not completely. If a person is born near the equator, and has generations of family FROM the equator, they will be almost 100% likely to have dark skin dark hair dark eyes. They could have so much fucking estrogen, and STILL be a tan brunette with dark eyes. Having that estrogen isn't gonna turn their hair blonde.

[AndyWes]

Are you girls retarded? Seriously? Articles that say blond hair indicates higher estrogen doesn't mean that all women with estrogen will have blond hair, but women with blond hair are more likely to have high estrogen. Like, gold is valuable, but not all valuables are gold by far. But did you bitches actually want an answer, or are you just jealous blondes get better tips?

[still_waiting]

Lol bruh I'm blonde And no I'm not dumb nor am I a bitch, thanks.

[Asker]

I still don't fucking see the relation between estrogen levels and hair color. I think it's bullshit. You clearly cited a male-pride joke site. The kind of stuff our N... O... would write. And he's no scientist man.

[AndyWes]

Well, go google it yourself then. Or read the paper.

[LaceyG]

Yeah its because of the kinky thing. Im a natural blond and you would be amazed just how many men (and women) assume im a bimbo because of my hair :

[Tractorbeam]

Natural blondes are fine, but artificial blondes are dumber than anyone.

[DaCrownlessKing]

I actually prefer brunette and black hair on white girls, but thats just me

[Pepmeister]

I actually prefer brunettes for some reason. To me they are just hotter haha. I go crazy for my girlfreinds hair, it so long and smooth and she is brunette!!!

[Pepmeister]

*girlfriend's*

[Frank_B]

Fashion trends. During the 50's 60's and 70's platinum blondes were preferred but things have changed a lot, especially in America. Nowadays a lot of people are tired of blondes so I would say that the public opinion is rather divided. My friends and I prefer brunettes because they have that "feline" look, instead of blondes who tend to be more luscious. This is generally speaking, of course. Better tips for blondes is totally untrue, at least up here in Canada.

[pooper89]

I honestly think the media sensationalizes blondes, and so men think they're more attractive than brunettes. Still, look at how much attention Megan Fox got? She ain't blonde.

[Asker]

That's a good explanation, blonde hair looks more glamorous because it reflects more light. Darker colors absorbs light more. Yeah I don't understand the whole Megan Fox thing too.

[cajun]

they have striking appeal and they can easily turn on sleeping monster

[Asker]

what is their striking appeal? How are they different from brunettes?

[cajun]

brunetts affect to ones's r imaginations they are more like a mystery but blondes appeal or invoke our direct senses..

[decemberxblue]

I don't know. Blonde/blue doesn't do much for me unless it's on non-White people.

But brunettes are cuter to me.

[NervousPie]

OMG, so pretty!!

I know right! <3<3

[missalbanian92]

The first girl is absolutely beautiful

[decemberxblue]

And Chris Brown left her for Rihanna...

[PrettyBama]

Rihanna is bae

[zombiebabe]

the first babe looks so pretty

[TheNewClassic]

Jasmine <3 she is beautiful

[ThreeIn]

I have no idea. I just know I am attracted to them.
Might be a society thing.
Kind of ironic tho that we have dumb blonde jokes yet, they're more successful.
Its like making fun of how poor upper middle class people are.

[NoblesseOblige]

It's been proven that they're smarter.

[ShaeNielson]

I think brunettes are fucking hot. Blondes often look like dumb bitches in my opinion (don't get mad blondes, Im blonde too)
