Why are redheaded women seen as attractive but redheaded men are seen as dorky, nerdy or ugly?

I had a friend who was a redhead. I ripped on him all the time for being a ginger. Saying he was infected with gingervidas, and had no soul. And we joked that I was half ginger, because only my facial hair is red, I have light skin and am covered in freckles. But I've never heard of redheaded men being referred to as dorky, nerdy or ugly. Just keep putting yourself out there, show you have confidence, and once everything opens up again you'll find someone. Just don't give up. Everyone finds someone eventually, I still haven't, but maybe someday, if I really want it.

It has a lot of parallels with racism, discrimination on grounds of hair colour/skin colour

[1CentWorth]

there's a lot of prejudice against all gingers. Turn out that some people really believe, for real, and strongly, that gingers have no soul. We laugh, but I guess we laugh because there are those who really believe it. Also, are gingers another race of people? I mean...

[neilsmart]

It does have a lot of parallels with racism - skin colour/hair colour - bigots will be bigots

[1CentWorth]

@neilsmart right? Well, we invented race without science, so why not do the same thing here? lols

[neilsmart]

Exactly, i don't see how people can be outraged about one form of bigotry and discrimination while at the same time being perfectly ok with another. Seems to be a double standard that isn't getting enough recognition

I dont think this is necessarily the case... I have 2 redheaded cousins. Both female. When I was growing up I specifically remember people always making the comment "Red heads are freaks in bed", which led to them getting a lot of attention from the men in our community. I dont recall one of those people ever claiming my cousins were even remotely attractive. They just saw them as "freaky" or "kinky".

[Nicolette777]

Same as why short women are attractive and tall men. Some male redheads are pretttty damn hot. I always say there is two types of ginger: ginger on the brown end and ginger on the blonde end. I love men with ginger on the brown end so I don’t think it’s true at all that they’re aren’t attractive

[Ghostryder]

I definetly find red headed women attractive, but I am actually a blonde on my head but pretty much read everywhere else. I've been rocking a bald head n a full red beard for several years now. I am considered a red head if u was to see me. But I can say this. I'm definitely not dorky , or nerdy. Now as a younger guy in my teens I was not a ladies man at all. I was intimidated by a beautiful girl. I was kinda insecure I guess I could say. Another problem I had was my standards was always to high which means I didn't have many girl friends but in time I grew out of it n got married to my first wife who was actually very pretty n captain of cheer leading n very smart but it didn't last but 5 years and I decided to see what's out there n I did Today I've dated a lot of different women. I'm pretty confidant n I can say a redheaded guy is not dorky nerdy , or haft to be ugly but its really a matter of opinion I guess. thanks

I’ve always had a thing for redheads! My first crush was a redhead- a dreamy guy-still to this day. Haha. Hell, look at Ed Sherron and the woman who love him. Don’t worry- we don’t all see red as ugly. I know I don’t!

[Pennypolish]

PS- you look attractive. And those beautiful green eyes would mesmerize any girl! Boost that confidence!

[BestUserName100]

The ones who win the war get to write the history? Women are pretty much attracted to any successful attractive dominant person. They will get flocks of women trying to get with them regardless of their hair color I bet. Same thing happens in the wild.. Where the alphas who are the best providers get.. And give their offspring the best possible chances for survival.

[smiledoll]

I don't know we all have our stero type but i think its because the lack of red heads in the public eye there just arnt a whole lot of them there are atractive red heads i know guys say red head girls are pretty but some say they aren't i guess it depands on your preference

[angecandy]

Both readheaded/readhear women or men are attractive. It is so unique and beautiful. I like when the sun shine on them, it is like an angel or a magical fox.

[NatalieKeller95]

a redhead in an anime had a magical fox inside her

[cute_short_nerd]

It’s a win if you have red hair, you just gotta know how to take care of it😂 actually I like guys with red hair, I find it attractive.

But if you are smart, that’s a whooooooooooooleeee new level of attractiveness

[Kurαȷ]

Because the saying goes - "tall, DARK and handsome".
Unlike what the trend seems to be with men, women don't like light hair.

Blonde and red haired men are preferred the least by women.

[neilsmart]

The 'dark' refers to skin colour not hair

[gemgem]

@neilsmart no it doesn’t

[neilsmart]

@gemgem attractiveness is not determined my colour. Surely using your logic all brownheaded men are attractive - clearly not! There are many more brown haired people in the world hence why you aren't stereotyping brown haired people.

[likelyOK]

I like them but it's pretty rare for women of my ethnicity to them or blondes.
A lot of redheads and blondes are self conscious about how fair they are.

[likelyOK]

To like them*
I have had crushes on red heads since high school

[mermaidrocketship]

Lol. On whose planet? I love redheads. Especially Michael Fassbender.

[Red_Dawn94]

Really?

[gemgem]

His hair is pretty dark, like the red is barely even noticeable.

[Red_Dawn94]

@gemgem what?

[mermaidrocketship]

@gemgem It depends on the lighting. @red_dawn94 Seriously. I love red hair.

[Red_Dawn94]

@mermaidrocketship So I'm not ugly?

[mermaidrocketship]

I don't know. Do you have a picture posted somewhere?

[Red_Dawn94]

Here

[mermaidrocketship]

You’re good looking. Just in need of a haircut. 😉

[Red_Dawn94]

@mermaidrocketship Whats with the winky face? lol

[mermaidrocketship]

Don’t read too much into it

[Red_Dawn94]

I wasn't

[Red_Dawn94]

Just don't know what you saw

[jojixlight]

Redheaded men are so fucking attractive in my opinion

[shotsfired1]

[gemgem]

You make us very happy.

[jojixlight]

wish you happiness forever!

[MrWolf]

Not all are seen as dorky, nerdy or ugly. Probs depends on the girls taste in man. The style you dress, the way you act kind that's the only thing.

But gotta agree redheaded woman are awesome.

[LMNOP123]

I've never heard anyone else outright oppose them. I don't doubt it though. Why? I don't know. I had a big old huge crush on a redheaded dude back in Highschool.

[SaraSmithishere]

I don't think that's true. A lot of girls are lusting for Billie Eilish's brother, who's a ginger. Maybe it's the transparent eyelashes? I'm a redhead and my eyelashes are barely there, but then again, I can wear mascara.

[Aislin9]

This guy knows.

I think that is a stereotype both redheaded women and men can be attractive to some people so just ignore those stereotypes

[BoxySama]

The men have that allure, they just have to work for it.
one of my homies growing up was a redhead, he had hair down to his ass too
he always have a girlfriend or some leading figure in his life so I didn't know what you mean by that

[Guanfei]

It was really the case when I was younger. But then this guy happened:

And for some reason, it suddenly was better.

[DellBell]

Actually I knew a few redheads that were actually pretty attractive looking :)

[blutwolfe]

on what planet, my friend is a ginger and all the girls want the red rocket, he pulls all kinds of women lol

[Boredguy400]

Certain ones can pull it off.
Dustin Zitto on the Real World Las Vegas was redhead, but still got all the girls.
