Is it true that most women find redhead and blonde men less attractive?

Question

I've been reading something about hair colour and attraction psychology and found out an article which proves that most women prefer dark-coloured hair on men.
 I want to know whether It is true or not, thus answer following questions :

 Girls, do you prefer brunette men to redheads and blondes?

 Guys, what's your experience and thoughts about it?

First, I don't think there is an answer which fits all women. The answer probably varies between cultures, nationalities, age groups, and even subgroups within those groups. I doubt that any one article has "proved" that all women prefer dark haired men. For instance, there are probably groups within the Irish nationality which prefer red haired men.

Having said all of that, my experience within my ethnic group is that most women prefer either dark haired or blonde guys. I think red haired guys are at a disadvantage with Caucasian, Protestant men of English heritage. Within that group, I don't think that dark haired guys get any preference, as many girls prefer the surfer boy image.

I'm dark haired, but every blond friend I have has a girlfriend so no issue there :p What about you? Are you attracted to those colours

Personally I'm not into red heads but I LOVE blondes.
I've always been attracted to blondes since I was a young one.
It's pretty much the same as how they say men prefer blondes, however it's actually a fair ratio to how many men like brunettes over blondes.

That's not true, at least not for me.
I find blonde men who wear their hair with "pride" in particular actually handsome more often than men with other haircolors, they stand out more and often have this Lionly vibe.

I find them insanely attractive - not all, of course. But some of the most beautiful men were natural redheads or blondes.

Well as long as they're men (😉) I'm fine with any hair color

Yup...
That's true.
I asked this question before and i get the same results. Blonde hair often is related to femininity, which is confusing because Vikings raped murdered and pillaged all while having beautiful blonde hair.

I personally adore blonde hair. Plus I have it, but it's more sunkissed blonde meaning that it's usual color is like an amber-honey, when its exposed to the sun for a bit, it will change color to almost platinum. Its pretty cool, I'd like to think anyway.

I think most women prefer dark hair. I think all of my exs have preferred dark hair but have still found me really attractive even though my hair is like dirty blonde, so your hair color shouldn't be a problem as long as it fits you and you look attractive.

curiousnorway · Answer

I have no idea. But I don't find gingerheads attractive in general speaking. But blondes depends very. Some suit it, other don't. I thinks brunettes and black hair is the most attractive hair colors.

IceCubedude · Answer

yes from my experience i have black hair, black eyes and olive skin and women absolutly love them, i've been told before how blonde or light haired guys aren't really their type and they like black hair the most, my friend had a similiar experience with lots of girls.

as for guys they like the opposite, light hair and eyes is attractive to them , for me blue eys and red/light brown hair is the best a girl can ever be.

HonestWhiteGuy · Answer

Nah its not true and in fact a lot of women prefer the "blonde surfer boy" look, or Brad Pitt or the Blonde guy from Thor.

Brad Pitt as an example widely considered one of the most attractive guys for a long time, maybe less now because he's older but still.

Blonde hair is more rare so maybe the ones saying no have 0 experience around Blonde guys or very little experience.

Side note, I've heard that blonde hair is quite popular in China, Japan and some other Asian countries. Once again, proving my point.

ScottSummers · Answer

Well my hair is not dark, its medium/dark brown and i never had bad experience cos of my hair colour. My eyes are very light blue almost white and i think i had more trouble with that than with my hair colour.

nikki_24 · Answer

I have dated more guys with dark hair but my current boyfriend of 3 almost 4 years is a blonde and I think he is the hottest guy I have ever seen. I always thought women liked guys with lighter hair. When I was in middle and high school all of my female friends liked the guys with light to medium hair color, thats just what I noticed.

Jacksfull7 · Answer

I think its True, i noticed that women are more likely to be attracted to men WithdDark hair. Personally Ifeel more emotional attraction to girls with intense colours

Rawrzz · Answer

Hmmm. I always thought women really liked blonde guys. I had blonde hair when I was a kid, but then it turned brownish reddish blondish. Pretty much brown. I really prefered it blonde. I always thought that blonde guys looked better than other hair colors. A lot of the time.

Mmmm. I really don't know. I always figured there wasn't much of a difference in hair color for women.

Did it say why women preferred darker colors?

Winter_Storm_Guy · Answer

I think Men with Red Hair and Blonde Hair is less likely to find a woman i just cause they get judged.

WillowTree · Answer

Never been attracted to a blonde even if he's decent looking. I don't have a problem with red heads. All my crushes have dark or brown hair. Good question.

BiscuitesSwag · Answer

I can't speak for the entire female sex, but I don't like red and blond hair on guys. #sorrynotsorry

Prettygurl12 · Answer

My fiance has a full head of blonde curly hair and his beard comes in reddish.  So I guess I don't fit the mold of the study.

RachelBrigs · Answer

I still find many blonde men and some red headed men attractive but most of the guys I find attracted to do tend to be dark haired

AnonRom · Answer

Not sure but you can offer your opinion on my last question :)
Anyways more dominant features are objectively more attractive but hair color can be like eye color in that if most of your other traits are dominant a less dominant hair color trait positively sets you apart

iCroissant · Answer

I don't know if that's true but I've ALWAYS been jealous of blonde guys and blue eyed guys.

anonman32 · Answer

my experience with this is that i dont care what hair color women prefer.

Petr1992 · Answer

I always read it was black or dark hair. Which I never understood why. My father has pure blonde hair and I have extremely dark brown / black hair. My mother has light brown hair. My nephews have pure blonde hair. But I wouldn't care about her hair color.

BleepingBlonde · Answer

I actually don't mind blonde hair. Red hair, I've seen some attractive guys with it but not a whole lot.
