Why do blonde people tend to be more attractive?

It's just genetics. We look good and shit.

Yes this is me and my 23andMe account

But I have another theory. There is something about blond hair that triggers humans into some shit. Eminem for instance... couldn't make it, then bleaches his hair. Speaking of Bleach... remember the sudden rise to fame from Curt Cobain? Go blonde, you become the Don.

I think it's ingrained in us. Rome was great right? They all had blue eyes and blonde hair and then they started shipping the slaves in and sleeping with them. About 300 years later... only the leaders still had blond hair and blue eyes and they were not the majority. Southern Europeans straight up mixed hardcore with the help. They might be white, but fucking black hair and brown eyes? Not all, but god damn. They basically bred themselves out.

I don't think people from sub-saharan Africa feel the same deep in their bones. I mean the rest of us either know of vikings like me or the likes of Genghis Khan who actually had red hair and green eyes (He still looked Asian af). You know who to fear or at least see as your equal. But if you're from there (S. Africa), it's not etched into you on a DNA level. I mean you don't even have Neanderthal blood in you. I'm pretty sure my pale skin comes from them... and my muscular build.

I'm just throwing my theories out there so don't get confrontational. I'm not saying anything I just said is fact or provable. It's just banter. I'd love to have conversations about it though.

I don’t know if that’s true. And I’m blonde myself, haha.

But with women, I’ve always had a theory that a lot of women who have blonde hair get seen as hot pretty easily, and not always warranted. Something about the blonde hair distracts you from focusing on the face, but if you do isolate their face, it’s not as pretty as you’re perceiving it to be. I wouldn’t say it’s a general rule but it’s a common phenomenon I notice.

I think I’m less into blonde women because I’m also blonde, feels like we look related, haha. But I mean, a hot chick is a hot chick, regardless, so if she’s truly good looking, I’ll be able to see that. But I think NOT having that heightened attraction to blonde women gives me some extra clarity in my assessment. I’ll see through it and be like “actually, she doesn’t blow me away.” Or I might even think she’d look better as a brunette or raven-haired or whatever, especially if that’s her natural color.

I don’t know, I’ll just see someone blonde who’s regarded as really hot, and I’ll be like “is she really? Like she’s not ugly, I’m just saying I’m not stunned.” My buddy is half-Asian with dark hair and he loves blonde women, I go through this with him all the time, haha. Some hot blonde women just look generic and indistinguishable from one another, to me. Still hot, maybe, but I’d definitely confuse their names in a group setting, haha

But I wouldn’t say blonde people have inherently better features or are any more or less attractive than any other group, in my opinion.

It can go with upbringing and norms what makes a person comfortable and then it can go with two other sides:

chemistry…

and fantasy.

one for the romance and relationship oriented people and it just vibes..

and one for the sexually experimental/adventurous and prone to adopt fetishes.

One may find a certain group of people “exotic” and arousing. Then from that point on, that can be the only or one of the only to float their boat. They could even be set and say “I want to settle down with a man/woman, like that.”

So it can be like almost religious… traditional… “instinctual”- whatever you want to call it, and

it can be developed and applied. It can be preferential.

As others said here and they have said before:

”beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

Aside from this. No matter how it’s broken down, people will always have their likes and dislikes. There is no superior type of porn, people, race, type, you name it, and there’s not one at the very top. It’s always going to be divided and varied amongst the population. That’s just how I’ve seen it, though.

[thatshydork]

Beauty is only in the eyes of the beholder. If you think blondes look better, that’s because you’re more attracted to blondes (obviously).

However, not everyone agrees. Some prefer brunettes or red heads.

I personally prefer guys with brunette hair over guys with blonde hair.

[Anonymous]

Maybe you think so because they're white? Since ages we have been told and conditioned that whites are the epitome of beauty. That's the reason why Asians strive to achieve the white skin color. If you visit countries like China and Korea, you'd see many girls with Foundations 10 shades lighter than their skin tone with bleached hair. They'd do anything to look like a white woman or a blonde and to date a white guy.

However, when it comes to blondes, I think Ivanka Trump is a stunning beauty and so is Princess Diana, Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie etc. And when it comes to brunettes Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner , Aiswarya Rai etc are extremely attractive and beautiful.

So I definitely won't agree that blondes are more attractive because all these women are extremely beautiful and majestic with their natural hair colors.

[adam6402]

Margot Robbie is a brunette

[Opinion Owner]

@adam6402 I didn't know it.

[adam6402]

Yeah she's always dyed her hair blonde but her eyebrows are brown and apparently, her natural hair colour is brown.

[Opinion Owner]

@adam6402 thanks for the info

[HawkPerception]

I'm in agreement with you man. Blonde girls tend to be more attractive in general. But I'm into all kinds of girls.

The reason I'd guess blondes are attractive to guys is that they radiate positive sunshiny vibes, and make you feel like you'll live a good and exciting life. That's how it is for me anyways.

There are a lot of girls I've heard that noticed a large difference in the amount of attention they got when they dyed their hair blonde, so it's actually a fact.

Here's an interesting read as well. men prefer blondes

[Anonymous]

Blondes are generally regarded as more promiscuous and wild in bed. That’s the real reason blondes are more attractive to men, because women prefer brunette men, not blonde.

The modern narrative of blonde women comes from the early 2000’s Playboy/Girls Gone Wild blonde. It even dates back to Marilyn Monroe/Jean Harlow as sex symbols of their eras coined by their bombshell blonde hair.. and modern examples being Pamela Anderson/Anna Nicole Smith. You think of any bombshell blonde during any era she’s probably known for having a sexual personality and big tits.

Now a days, blondes aren’t the forefront of beauty like it used to be, but the hot busty blonde is still a fantasy for a lot of men. The most beautiful women in the world are regarded as brunette while the sexiest, blonde.

[PeachyPie93]

That isn't true lol
It just depends on the person. Anyone one can be ugly or pretty. Though most blondes are not real blondes lol I was born blonde but my hair changed to brown as I got older. The funny thing is when I was 18 and bleached my hair I got a lot more attention from guys, like they talked to me easier and even people in cars would honk. It's just a weird thing. I think the colour just makes you stand out more, or maybe guys are just more attracted to it.

[ManOnFire]

Like I was literally going to say the same thing lol. Most blondes are actually just average, and blondes are few compared to the other colors.

[PeachyPie93]

@ManOnFire I know like I seen pretty girls with blonde hair but like my cousin is blonde and so many people have told me she is the ugliest person they ever seen, even our parents cousin said that LOL

[ManOnFire]

@PeachyPie93 GodDAYUM. That bad? lol. Well, I guess that's not crazy cuz I know a blonde girl who is ugly too.

[PeachyPie93]

@ManOnFire Yeah sadly, but she still gets more bfs than me lololol My other cousin is blonde too and he gets all the girls so it just depends on how ugly your parents are LOL

[ManOnFire]

@PeachyPie93 Ohhhh then I know what it is. Is the girl thick or chubby? They tend to attract more sex so that's probably why even if she’s not good looking.

[PeachyPie93]

@ManOnFire She is like 300lbs. She always been big since she was a kid.

[ManOnFire]

Yep, I knew it lol.

[Flatmanlewis]

Not to me. I absolutely, passionately, prefer brunettes and redheads, in that order, over blondes. When I do prefer blondes I prefer a committed and bright blonde - not dirty blonde or a soft brown/blonde.

[Goahead76]

Well said, same here.

[Passerby2]

because the genes for blond hair are recessive. meaning when someone is blond, their dna is more "pure", they are more thorough bred. Their features have been carefully selected over generations. When people from different areas mix together, there's an intermediate period where the offspring looks goofy. "Outbreeding" is deleterious, not as bad as inbreeding, but still bad.

[Apple1996]

Blonde hair is more rare so it's naturally more attractive to a lot of people.

[CrabCakes11]

People are generally attracted to common traits

[Apple1996]

@CrabCakes11 really? I've always heard more rare traits were desirable. Being attracted to common traits is bad for mating

[CrabCakes11]

“ People tend to prefer people who are young, who have symmetrical facial features and bodies, and who appear average”

opentextbc.ca/.../

[jahaims]

Youthfulness is a sign of fertility and health.

Symmetry is a sign of healthy genes.

You had the right idea, apple. People are wired to be attracted to genes that vary from their own. It doesn't have to be a rare genetic trait for this to be the case. It is usually the variations in MHC genes that determine that. That is only regards to the nature part of attraction. Nurture changes how people determine attractiveness as well. Like social and cultural norms.

[Apple1996]

@jahaims true opposites attract sort of thing

[jahaims]

It's more nuanced than that, but yes.

[CrabCakes11]

@jahaims That’s objectively false. People are attracted to people who are similar to them, appearance wise.

[jahaims]

If it is objectively false, then that means you can factually prove it. So please do so.

[Apple1996]

@CrabCakes11 it makes no sense for people to be attracted to someone that looks like them. Genetic/mating wise we want to create a diverse baby to avoid inbreeding

[CrabCakes11]

When I say “looks like them” I mean looks like the group they belong to. There’s a reason people are generally attracted to their race/ the race they grew up around. People are generally attracted to more average looking faces (average as in common facial features).

[Rosexøxø]

@CrabCakes11 I’ve honestly
Heard of both. What they said and what you said. I’ve also noticed an interesting point: I observed guys and girls can also be attracted to someone with similar FACIAL characteristics and possibly interests but be completely different in ethnic background. Even in my case my husband and I share similar features like a certain shaped nose yet his is just larger and I’ve seen this in other couples before meeting my boo. It was the reason why I wasn’t worried about never being liked by a guy from another culture and race. I’ve seen total opposites in color and country become life long mates and they shared similar arched brows similar eye shapes. Just you name it and I’ve seen it, and I just thought that was kinda cool.

It’s possible it depends on the person if they end up with someone entirely different to themselves or a parent. It’s possible is just sexual lust, mental fantasy, and/or just a culturally different perspective instead of something natural or more instinctual. We are evolving and such. Porn watchers (sorry) for example watch almost any kind of race and some of those watchers also strictly stick to what they’re used to or grew up around (I’ve heard from a few different sources and can include my own past experience).

[Rosexøxø]

I relate to your claim crab cakes cause I definitely also read about that and seen people like others who reminded them of their parents. A mother or father and sometimes it’s not even opposite gender based. It can be a daughter raised by her mother will still be heterosexual and find men who resembles her mother as attractive and potential mates. It’s their parent whom they felt safe with in their infancy and earlier years. Usually this trend is more common with sons finding women who resemble their mother as attractive and daughters finding males who resemble their father as attractive. I just say - without concrete and consistent proof, there are exceptions.

I’m not sure which is more powerful/influential in the partner picking arena, but I’ve definitely noted and noticed both. I can’t disagree with either, and it’s all very interesting. 🤔

[CrabCakes11]

@Rosexøxø yeah. Human sexuality is varied and very interesting

[CrabCakes11]

@Rosexøxø I’ve read that too. It always seemed Freudian lol

[Syntosi]

Probably because you are attracted to blond people. Other people have different feelings, its part of what makes you a person. Neither is inherently superior, its all a matter of taste just like how some people like certain foods over others.

[SamIam96]

Most women's blonde hair is bleached. If you care enough to do all that work, you're probably doing other things to improve your appearance like exercise, make up, shopping for flattering clothes.

[electromagnetic]

Just say you have a type. Girls with blonde hair

[jessica_16]

Blonde the best 🤟

All guys dreams to date with us 😉

[TommyMountainFigure]

We first have to establish blonde people ARE more attractive. I don't think that is necessarily the case. Some are, some are not!

[patois]

I guess you like the color yellow. Maybe you are fascinated with urine and like to stare into the sun as well.

[matchrestore]

I'm surrounded by Scandinavians and Germans where I live. Blonde is so common, it isn't a rare desirable trate like it might be elsewhere.

[CrabCakes11]

Most people are attracted to common traits

[handsomelad70]

I've seen ugly blond (e) s, but blonde women are seen by most men as the most desirable because of historic beliefs that blonde equates to beauty, and some places (Fennoscandia) DO have a plethora of attractive blondes.

[Alex-Snow]

Why do u say that. I have had girlfriends that have had brown and black hair and they were hot and we had a lot of fun together if u know what I mean

[AviatorTom]

For me, blondes are NOT more attractive I prefer brunettes.

[hellothere90]

Because blonde hair color is bright and stands out among dark haired color.

[pethouse]

Personally more of a brunette or brown hair kinda guy. I don't know some about them that get me crushing. But their are some blondes and readheads that be popping

[Messiking]

That's yor opinion. You prefer blondes but most guys prefer brunettes. Most women prefer dark hair on guys defintly. So It is not true. Maybe blondes are just more stand out from their surroundings.
