What is it about redheads that guys are so afraid of?

[blueyedgrll]

I've seen and read enough answers to the question of whether or not guys like or are attracted to redheads. My question is then if it's true that there are guys attracted to redheads why is it that they are so afraid to confront one. example... I see guys who will talk to, flirt, grab, etc. brunettes and blondes without even speaking to them, but I and a couple other redheads I know don't ever experience that. Those same guys have told me to my face that I am beautiful/gorgeous. This only happens on rare occasions when there's a chance to one on one have a conversation. What is it about redheads that guys are so afraid of? Does it even have to do with hair color? I recently visited my boyfriend and one of his friends and I didn't get along with each other right off the bat. We had a long heart to heart and I discovered that the reason he was so hardheaded and "dickish" was because I was a beautiful girl. What are guys so afraid of? I was not mean nor prejudgmental towards him at all. Sorry for the length of the question. If someone could please explain I would really love it lol I'd feel better about the way I'm treated or how people have preconceived ideas about redheads.

I think it's something I call the elementary syndrome. Adults acting like kids. Redheads are beautiful, but rare. A guy sees a redhead, instantly feels intimidated by her exotic beauty, doesn't know how to cope, so acts like a third grader with a crush and picks on her. Basically... Guys don't confront redheads because they are intimidated by them. In my Freudian opinion at least.

There's a very strong stereotype that redheads are super high maintenance and wildly outgoing. It isn't true, because haircolour doesn't define the girl, but sadly a lot of people believe this, which is why they are intimidated.

I hope this helps in some way or another.

I think the guys are right. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with your hair color. It more likely has to do with the fact that they think you are really pretty and therefore intimidating, or there is something about your personality that keeps people at a distance a bit--perhaps you seem aloof, uninterested, stuck up, or something of the like.

I am also a redhead and find this to be true. I may get very passive attention from guys or they might stare from across the room but I very rarely get approached. I always try to be kind and smile and never give dirty looks (unless he's being creepy) but it seems like only the super cocky ever approach.

Actually its the opposite the redheads are quietist shyist blonds are the most outgoing thats why guys like blonds cause theyre more socially talkative.

you are probably like in my top ten hottest red heads list "for real" and to answer your question it might not be that you have red hair that makes it hard to approach you but that you very pretty

That was super sweet!

I don't discriminate, but I do find redheads very attractive. As far as why some guys are "afraid" to approach them, I have no idea.

Guys are not afraid of a hair color. There is some other reason why they act the way they do.
