When you see an adult woman who has green, blue, or pink hair, does the hair color suggest anything about her personality?

[OlderAndWiser]

When I see a girl with neon green, blue, or pink hair, it is usually a young teen who is learning to express herself and trying something different. But, occasionally, I see neon hair on a girl who is in her 20's or later, and I think that she is probably rebellious, a non-conformist, and probably immature. I freely admit that those are the perceptions of an older man and I realize that younger people may view this differently.

What do you think when you see neon hair on an adult woman?

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she is immature and childish

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she is resistant to accepting her age

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she is a "free spirit"

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she is trying to appeal to younger boys rather than mature men

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she may be a fun date but not a woman to be taken seriously

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she is never going to meet my parents

Green, blue, or pink hair means that she has a very strong personality

[HellGeist]

Huge red flag to me. Even for something casual... I dunno if it would be worth it.

It's funny, because bright neon colors in nature ( like in certain frogs) often means danger or poison.

The stereotype among a lot of men (I think there is a large chunk of truth behind it) is that SJWs (Obnoxious Liberal types) and radfems often dye and wear their hair like that.

So me and many other guys don't want that headache in our lives.

Natural looking highlights and dyes can look very elegant, stylish and beautiful.

But if I see neon... Nope. Pass.

Even if she is really hot:

1. in my opinion she would look better with "normal" looking hair. (Sjmilar goes for women with very short hair.

2. She probably gets around and/or has hardline feminazi leanings, and/or is likely to be unstable and immature in some way.

Hard pass. I say leave them to be Tinderella's, OnlyFans "workers" or in their Gender Studies classes.

Let another guy jump on that grenade! Not I.

I understand experimenting with colors, especially when you are a teen, and exceptions always exist, especially if they are just the occasional funky color highlights, then MAYBE she is just quirky, nice and fun.

I voted A. Enormous red flag for me.

But there are always exceptions. Maybe she could just be a fun, quirky, nerdy or rocker type of girl...

But it's often a risk, especially for anything beyond casual.

Personally, I would be VERY careful.

Any whiff of Feminazi tendencies and smart men should run for the hills if they know what's good for 'em!

Whatever the woman tries to convince others and herself about why she has tats, piercings and exotic colored hair. The truth is that more often than not, these women have mental and emotional issues. You will often find them to be bisexual, have daddy issues and a ton of emotional baggage. Many modern feminists are this way and that's all you need to know.

My girlfriend was telling me about her coworker who doesn't believe in monogamy and sportfucks her way through anyone. Her father left when she was little and she cut all contact with her mom. I said "Let me guess, she has tats, piercings and colored hair". I what do you know, I hit the nail right on the head.

Even though these women went through shit they had no control over, these unfortunate things did cause damage and any guy worth his salts could do best to stay away from them.

Now you tell me. Which one screams louder "I have issues"

[TruthBringer]

Note: Older men aren't the only ones who see it that way. Younger guys like myself do as well.

[Moose304]

It's not just the items you mentioned. I can't tell you how many females I have come across (Mostly in Europe) whose personal hygiene was horrid. I smell BO, I see teeth not cared for, I see a tat, I see green or pink hair, I hear profanity, I"M GONE!

[TruthBringer]

@Subarugirl It is. Backed by observation and experience. Since so many of them are the way myself and many others here have described to be, it is only safe to assume anyone who lives up to the stereotypical looks would live up to the stereotypical behaviors, issues and ideologies. So while we judge a book by its cover, if there are so many other books with the same cover containing the same information, it will only be logical to assume that book will be no different. That is until proven otherwise

[OlderAndWiser]

And girls judge guys by their height, the car they drive, whether they own their home, etc. Experience teaches us to make correlations and assumptions based on those correlations. I don't have the time or desire to get to know every girl on a deeply personal level before I decide whether I want to date her, so I look at her and make some assumptions based on what I see.

If she is well dressed, well manicured, well coifed, I assume that she cares about her appearance, wants to nake a good impression, and has enough money to make that happen. If she is dressed not quite as nice, but still looks like she cares about her appearance, I assume that she cares about her appearance, wants to nake a good impression, but doesn't quite have as much money to make that happen. I still rate her favorably. And if I see a girl who is wearing sweat pants and she hasn't run a brush through her hair in a few days, then I assume she doesn't care about her appearance and it doesn't matter how much money she may have, because I'm still not interested.

That's the way the human experience happens.

[TruthBringer]

@OlderAndWiser Very well said!

[TruthBringer]

Thanks for the MHO!

[melanieeeB]

Well for some reason every gay or lesbian person I know personally (through school and work), have colored hair or used to do that... so now I do automatically assume that the person could be gay/lesbian, doesn't have to ! but I would bet my chances lol

[melanieeeB]

This is really purely based on person experiences and like here people might just get one strand of here in a popping color but most people are just boring with hair colors

[collie22]

i get that

[globetrotter22]

They are at least bi. I don’t see completely straight women doing that unless they lost a bet or something.

[WowwGirl]

Gay... All of them

[lucas262]

Lmfao

[TruthBringer]

The funny thing is, this is actually not far from the truth (except the all part), but yeah a lot of them are indeed gay 😂

[WowwGirl]

@TruthBringer finally we agree

[WowwGirl]

I stand by the all part 👍🏻

[TruthBringer]

There are more things we agree with than you think. For example: That toxic masculinity is bullshit

[WowwGirl]

@TruthBringer 👍🙂

[WowwGirl]

Thank you

[WowwGirl]

@OlderAndWiser thank you

[OlderAndWiser]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[WowwGirl]

Merry Christmas to you and yours also Sir 💛

[ChrisMaster69]

I have software devs with various colours.

some have multiple degrees and one that is amazing at cryptology.

however you see them and it’s bright hair of say pink.

on a night out, there can be 3 or 4 different colours.

It’s amazing how people look at someone and simply assume without getting to know the real person.

It’s also hysterical, seeing guys trying to chat to a bunch of girls who are far more educated then the guys. The assumed dyed hair, tats etc means something.

[OlderAndWiser]

High IQ people are far less lkely to follow societal norms.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah very much so,

Lived in Cambridge for a bit, there is no one normal there

[hi_it_is_me123]

It does not mean anything and you are still young in your early 20s. It may also mean that she has alternative style. Do you also think punks, goths or people who like metal childish and immature since they also have weird styles? I personally think it is extrem shallow to judge people like this due just hair colour.
I can also look very pretty when it is done right. Pics below as an example

[hi_it_is_me123]

I also dont understand why it excepted from women to be "mature" or mature looking while grown ass men look like monkeys who play video games. You alll would stone me online for thinking that men are immature and childish for playing video games but many of you judge women for shallow reasons such as hair colour

[OlderAndWiser]

No, I would agree with you that grown men who spend the majority of their time playing video games are immature.

[Silvermantis]

Free spirit 100%.
I used to want to color my hair as a teen but everybody told me only little girls did that and I wanted to be taken seriously. They said many of the same things you have said here. My dad who is in his 50s makes fun of people with colored hair all the time, calls them “libtards”. It’s why I didn’t color my hair for years.
I finally dyed my hair at 25 and I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks finally. I have the underside of my hair dyed blue. When it’s down you can’t see it, when I’m in a pony tail you can. I’ve had many complaints on it when I thought people would hate it. Maybe it makes me look childish but I don’t care. I was surprised how happy simple color made me. It’s just hair, and what someone else does with theirs does not matter to me.

[Bluemax]

I pretty much agree with what you said except for the "probably immature" part. My friend's daughter dyes her hair with non natural colors all the time. I think she changes her hair color on the hour. 😉

She pays her bills on time. She has been in a great relationship for the past several years. She is fully employed and has a lucrative side hustle reviewing and commenting on a popular TV show. She is 31 I think.

My niece? Same thing. Full time mother of two. Stable relationship. She stopped dying her hair recently and now it's her natural color. She will be 36 tomorrow.

[Anonymous]

I honestly never really think about it or assume much. I see a lot of women (20-60) dye their hair in fun rainbow colors for a multitude of reasons when they’re 20-40 years old. I think for that age range, I assume that they are bored and wanna try something to be eccentric or look fun.
For 50-60 year old women, I think that they just wanted to try something different for once. My grandma had cancer and played around with hair dye when her hair was growing back, so I honestly think when older women do it, they stop caring about what people think, and do it for their own fun.

[WidowobiW]

When I see a woman with colored hair, it tells me that she’s not afraid to be herself. To embrace herself. To sit with herself. And that is the most beautiful thing a woman can show the world. She’s vibrant and I afraid of being different. And don’t act like it’s only brightly colored hair. Even women who choose to go blonde or brunette or whatever in between. That’s a woman worth speaking to; not just eyeing. That’s a woman worth hearing, listening to (every woman is, but we’re talking about from first glance). I wanna be her friend. Can I be her friend?

[Nomoturtle]

When you do something like dye your hair, you're changing your attributes to things that are not of yourself, so how is it "being herself"?
Choice as an expression of the self is a supreme dedication to the mind over the body. You barely even recognise eg your natural brown hair as something that's part of you.

So instead, I see it as being afraid to be herself, perhaps because she's too similar to others, that she is not unique, or special enough, and that troubles her. And yes, I see that as a sign of immaturity. It's immature to get so much validation externally.

Furthermore, these things are more popular where people are more similar, like in Asia, which I think backs up the point.

[WidowobiW]

I respect your POV, @Nomoturtle. And there are plenty of people who choose not to color their hair. However, I would like to state as a woman who colors her hair - I’m not doing it to be different from anyone else. It’s quite honestly a form of self expression in so far as, this is my mood. Or the thing I am representing. I’ve dyed my hair for things from a pep rally to even shaving it all off in honor of a loved one. Truthfully, your mindset on the matter is set to cast a negative light where there may be no need. Maybe once upon a time, only rebellious and/ or immature (because they’re not mutually exclusive) women colored their hair - but that’s not the case in today’s world.

[Nomoturtle]

@WidowobiW Fair enough, though I'd be more interested in what you think of the first paragraph, rather than the "perhaps" of the second.

[WidowobiW]

What I think of the first paragraph? Why, @Nomoturtle , I think not changing your hair is just as beautiful. My godsister doesn’t color her hair. She doesn’t have the patience to. And I’ve always thought she was just as beautiful without changing a thing. She’s also fairly introverted and shy. And though we are best friends, our outer rings of associates are vastly different. One’s reason for not dying their hair also varies greatly among women - among people in general.

Overall, we’re talking personal choices in style. This falls in line with clothing, tattoos, jewelry, body piercings, and other modifications. One’s choices, however, tend to be influenced by their life journey. And who are we, as individuals, to judge a life we have not lived through? To judge the consequences we have not faced? Ultimately, we need to view new people with fresh eyes and make conclusions on the content - not the packaging.

[MCheetah]

Green, blue, or pink hair means she's basic and boring, has an inflated opinion of herself, and thinks this is a good way to show the world how "unique and special" she is, instead of actually having a personality that conveys that for her, kind of like people who get a bunch of tattoos but then act the same as anyone else who gets a bunch of tattoos.

Granted, my words here aren't the truth for all of them like this. But I'd say it's definitely true for a good 80%.

[Daniela1982]

Most often the girl is gay or bisexual in my experience. Double down on that if she also has tattoos.

[OlderAndWiser]

And I was forced to view this picture shortly before bedtime! :) :) :)

[Daniela1982]

Whoops!

[bones_20]

I personally don’t feel the need to find reason or meaning behind why someone chooses to dye their hair at any age. It is something I have done multiple times in the past and will do again simply because I like having coloured hair and like the way it looks.

[dustybiker]

Hate is not my first reaction or my following thoughts. We’re all just making our way through life. Some people have more style in whichever form that might be.

[OlderAndWiser]

Having an unfavorable opinion about a person based on their hair color does not mean that I hate them. Hate is a very strong term and I try to avoid hate altogether. A girl's hair color has no bearing on my life and is not a reason for hate. Life is not as simple as love 100% or hate 100%; I'm sure you understand that.

[dustybiker]

You took that personally I see, though based on what I do not. I was describing my own thoughts. First impressions on people who do things that stand out is usually hate born out of lack of understanding. I thought I was clearly saying I do not feel that way.

[AncientWisdom]

It’s a red flag to me. Adult females who do this usually have a baggage train in tow. They will have psychosexual issues usually bi or gay. They will have authority issues , and respect issues. It indicates a fundamental unhappiness with self in my humble opinion. I was taught if your not happy with yourself you definitely won’t be with someone else.

[Nomoturtle]

Bright colours? It often means that they reject their natural attributes in favour of something else, usually uniqueness. Ironically, natural rules apply:
It means they are toxic and to be avoided, like a golden dart frog.
Or else, something to be eaten, like a strawberry.
But relationship material? No. Not until they change their survival strategy.

[TwinkleLily5]

She’s a free Spirit, I usually don’t wear colorful hair but this year I did and it was because I felt free and changing the color of my hair was like an expression. I got tones of compliments because the color wasn’t the norm and it made me stand out. I’m a caramel color and my hair is between the color ash blonde and platinum—Gorgeous lol. I’m thinking of trying a green color next!

[Oigit]

I'd have to get to know them before I'd know. I grew up listening the music I do, wearing band t-shirts and eventually got tattoos because I am very much a mix of C and G. That never really changed. Also I would rather be hated for going against the grain then falling in line. But as things have become more socially acceptable things that where going against the norm are part of the norm. So the reason why a adult woman has pink hair has become a lot more important.

[worldscolide]

None of the above. When I see that on a woman, it's a red flag to keep my distance, because chances are she's a man hating feminist.


Now it's not always the case, but in my own personal experience it's been like that.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yeah, you may not know the exact meaning, but it's almost always a red flag!

[worldscolide]

Exactly!!!

[Massageman]

We ARE putting aside some neat cosplay looks here, aren't we?

If I see a "grown up" woman who feels she needs to have hair lit up like a tavern sign, I figure she isn't quite as "grown up" as she thinks. The irony is that so many people give themselves pink hair/weird piercings/split tongues/creepy tats, etc to be unique. Soon they discover that they aren't since so many others are making the same "unique" changes.

[Lw85381]

When I was younger, it meant I was about to get laid. You had to get to know the girl a bit and understand why her hair as pink or green or whatever. Then reinforce her choice, agree with whatever her reasons for green hair were (or if it look cool, just say so) and then and only then come on to her slowly. If you do this correctly, she will speed it up and next thing you know, you'll be in bed together. If you're really lucky, she will tie up up and give you a spanking before sex.

[Whatthefluff]

I have co-workers, peers, and family friends with unusual hair colors. I don't think anything of it beyond they like the look. I do find that they are more likely to be on the extroverted side.

[Guardian45]

When I see this on a young woman I take it less seriously than on an older woman.

Afterall young women are experimenting, and possibly it's just a fashion craze thing.

When older women do this, they're making a statement of some kind. It could be "Im fun & flirty" thing or it could be something MUCH STRONGER, similar to a man wearing a powersuit at an event.

This is person NOT to be taken lightly!

[msc545]

To me, it suggests impulsivity and also questionable judgment. It is the same as seeing a woman with many visible bad tattoos, or piercings.

[OlderAndWiser]

Concur!

[msc545]

Thank you!
