Why do women believe that blonde hair is better?


I never really been into blonde women. Yet my hair is blonde, and I love that, haha. And at the same time, I feel like it’s a setback for me WITH women, like I’d always hear about “tall, dark, and handsome” being ideal for men. I’m tall at least, the handsome thing is at least arguable lmao, but I am definitely not dark in either hair or skin tone. Some women have really made a big deal
out of me and of me being blonde, others, I feel like they wouldn’t give me the time of day, and I’d later see them paired off with a guy with darker features. So it doesn’t seem to work the opposite way with the same success, lmao. Yet I do notice that a lot of guys are very drawn to blonde women, yet when you see her face, she might not even be that remarkably pretty, but I feel like the whole aura of the blonde hair distracts a lot of guys. But I’m the opposite. Take someone like Rachel McAdams. She’s pretty objectively attractive. I’ve seen her in different movies with different hair colors. In Mean Girls, she’s blonde, and she doesn’t do it for me at all. I think in The Notebook her hair was more reddish, maybe strawberry blonde, and still, I wasn’t overly impressed. Wedding Crashers? As a brunette? MY WORD. Man-swooning over here, just one of the great beauties of my generation. There have been exceptions, I used to love Christina Applegate and Jenny McCarthy back in the 90s, and I’m sure I can come up with a bunch of hot blonde chicks if I had to, and I’ve definitely dated some blonde women who I was plenty attracted to. But overall, blonde hair just doesn’t “wow” me, maybe because I have it myself so there’s nothing special to it. So I wouldn’t put too much stock in it, there are plenty of guys who prefer brunettes or redheads or girls with black hair, and at the end of the day, I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker or deal-sealer for most guys.
I think Rachel McAdams was gorgeous In mean girls, but I prefer her dumb friend Karen cause she was prettier lmao. But you remind me of my brother, he also have blond hair and blue eyes, plus of being tall, but he’s mostly attracted to short thicc brunettes, ( doesn’t mean he doesn’t find blonde hots) but when I introduced him to my friends, he was only flirting with my short middle Latina friend , while ignoring my blonde friend even tho she was hardly into him, as well. But it’s not a rule cause I thought there was a study saying that blue eyed men, prefer blue eyed men, yet a blue eyed man still preferred a woman with brown eyes over me, so my experience kind of debunked it 😐
Haha, that Gretchen girl was the showstopper for for me, and that’s the one time I was blown away by Lindsay Lohan, to be honest, I’m not usually impressed by her (she got pretty cracked out though😂), but I thought she looked great in that movie. The dumb girl was cute too, but I think that’s just me with blondes again, she and Rachel McAdams didn’t grab me in the same way. And yeah, sounds like your brother is like me in his predominant “type”, and my girlfriend (and last three, really, lmao) is/were Latina. As far as the specific guy with you, I don’t know, it could be any number of things, but case in point, preference only carries you so far, sometimes you just are drawn to who you’re drawn to. I’ve definitely been on both ends of that more than a few times, haha. I’m also wondering now that I’m thinking about it, if/how it would factor in that maybe blonde women are less impressed by my blonde hair, so maybe subconsciously I’m like “well I don’t like you either, so there!” lmao. Because the women who made a big deal of my hair were never the blonde girls I dated, they just seemed to like other attributes about me but never really focused on my hair color. The girls who were like “oh my god, I love your blonde hair” had brown or black hair, as I recall. I always laugh about white people call non-white people “exotic” lmfao, that’s obviously kind of a relative term, and some folks find it offensive, but all that aside, I might be relatively “exotic” to girl who’s Puerto Rican or Italian or of some other family heritage and sometimes social acclimation, I’m not what they’re used to seeing. Maybe there’s some truth to “opposites attract”, haha.
Your mean girl comment is funny because Gretchen was supposed to be the non-pretty plastic. Regina literally said once that gretchen could never be elected as a prom queen cause she wasn’t pretty. But yeah I don’t know if you reject blonde because they don’t like you, cause my brother for exemple had my blond friend flirting with him, and he’s the one who didn’t care 😂
Society rates Blondes as wild and sexy , why that is is beyond me, I guess maybe there are more jokes about blondes then brunettes etc. lol who knows , But the truth in the matter is it doesn’t really matter, you’re best to rock who you are because people always want what they don’t have. , I dated a brunette girl once that heard me say blondes are sexy , well she went and dyed her hair blonde and then confronted to me that she did it cuz she heard me say I liked blonde hair on girls , I was blown away that she took me serious , I told her I liked her the way she was , that I wouldn’t be dating her if hair really mattered to me and told her hair isn’t what I was after lol
I think the problem is also because women are constantly told that they’re not pretty enough, and that their beauty play a crucial role in their love life. It’s sad but true. I know so many girls that believe no man will love them, unless they look like a Barbie doll, or real life photoshopped insta model, which is why so many women have body dysmorphia. The princesses like in Disney, were always sending us the message, that you must be just like Snow White, Cinderella or belle, aka the prettiest girl of the town, to deserve love from a man. I know it’s fucked up, lol. We’ve been brainwashed. I also felt extremely self conscious when a guy I liked said he found redheads sexy, I knew it didn’t meant that he would only date redheads, but my mind was always floated with the idea that he will leave me for a redhead the second where the occasion shows up, and that he only settled for me. So your girlfriend maybe felt that you only dated her because you settled, and that you were secretly craving a blonde, and that the second where a blonde give you attention you will leave her , which is so sad.
Yea I honestly felt horrible that she went that route trying to please me because that wasn’t the case what so ever , yes society and social media has brainwashed a lot of people to believe you have to be a certain way to be accepted and it’s so messed up that people allow it to control them , it’s a sad world we live in that people are judged and criticized for who they are , if people actually put their phones down and looked around them they will realize social media is the biggest bullshit there is , it’s a money making scam , this world thrives off of a money and power they don’t give 2 shits on how it effects people’s lives all they care about is how they are going to get into your wallet. So bottom line someone’s heart is what matters most of all when it comes to finding love , someone that loves you for you not from what they see on social media , I see beautiful girls all the time , but if they have shitty hearts I want nothing to do with them
I remember reading one study about sexual attraction, and it seemed like in countries in which most women are blonde, brunettes are seen sexier and vice versa. In my country most girls are brunette and I noticed the popular girl in the class was blonde and the blonde girl in the group of friends gets hit on more and so.
There was another experiment in which a brunette, a redhair and a blonde would hitch-hike. The blonde would always get more cars to stop. For whatever reason guys hit on more blondes.
I remember also a college friend that was brunette but was dyed blonde, then returned to brunette. She said that guys would flirt more with her blonde version.
However I suppose all that attention is not always the type of attention one wants to attract. But maybe some brunettes want that attention so that's why the dye blonde.
Anyways, I'd say blondes are as attractive as brunettes in general. Each guys might have their preference but if a girl looks hot in their eyes, her hair color couldn't care less.
Also, when you see famous people with brunettes, don't think it's because brunette are liked more, just remember that there are more brunette people in the planet than other hair colors, and so, there are more chances to find a partner that has an average hair color than a rare one.
I dyed it blonde mostly because I felt like I could use other dyes over it whenever I felt like it. Also I felt like blonde looked better with my skin complexion, even though it is a son of a bitch to maintain the colour.
However, I have done many changes to my hair. From blonde I dyed it blue, then purple and now it is red.

Blonde hair blue eyes turns everybody's head because they are rare and lighter features. That combo itself is enough to make a girl attractive even if she doesn't have good facial fetaures.
The reason guys might not come after you might be because you seem out of their league. That makes some guy to not pursue you.
I have seen a question here where a user asked,"How to get over the fact all men prefer blondes?". She even said 3 husbands left their brunette wives for blonde women.
So every guy has his own preference and you being blonde with blue eyes will never be a deal breaker.
Also i think that guy liked Sniper Wolf's body more than her hair
Tbh I went through a phase of dying my hair blonde because I thought it was better than my original hair colour which is brunette. But since then I became more confident in myself and haven’t died my hair since. I think it’s caused by the stereotype that guys prefer blondes which is a complete joke
This is just a myth tbh. Asian men are rated as the less wanted race of men, while I would die to have an Asian boyfriend cause they’re extremely hot and cute in my opinion.
My guess would be they think guys will like it better. Those are celebrities but in real life, there are many guys who like blonde girls. Probably other girls have seen/heard about it. Anyway guys are inconsistent. When they are with a blonde girl, they will flirt with other brunettes. When they are with a brunette, they will try to
catch the blond chick. They just don’t have one specific preference and don’t know what they actually want. I don’t let myself being controlled by their preference. Women need to be happy and comfortable with how we look.
I’ve never been into blonde girls either. If a girl is cute I don’t care what her hair color is to be honest.
But I’ve seen a lot of girls with brownish hair, thick beautiful hair with tons of different shades of colors in it.
A lot of blonde girls I’ve seen have thin wispy hair with very little volume to it. It lays flat and lank on their head and it’s just not as cute as these brunette type girls with voluminous flowing beautiful hair.
Of course if a blonde girl has that type of hair that would be hot too. But I rarely see it. Most blondes have thin perfectly straight boring hair lol. Sorry that’s just t experience with them.
Color TVs were not common place until the 1960s. In black and white film, blond hair had more character/texture/contrast. Thus they were often bigger movie stars with more screen presence. Thus women thought they were more attractive because they were famous… Same shit girls do with celebrities today even when many of the celebrities are not attractive. Brunettes are way hotter.
For some strange reason I really prefer brown hair over blonde. I do believe there are a lot of men who are more into blonde hair.
I think for the majority of men hair color is also not really that important for me at least inner values are more important than looks.
It’s complex for me, like in one way, I constantly hair that blonde hair is prettier , but then I see most of the hot guys, simping over a brunette.
Well, tbh I'd be fine with dating either a blonde or a brunette. Your eyes and hair colour seem extra attractive cuz they're my favourite ones. A lot of guys might think that you're out of their league or you already have a boyfriend. Many of them won't have the guys to ask you out. Blonde is the sexiest hair colour though. If you have a benevolent nature and a cute smile, it's a bonus. What do you think about men who prefer blondes over the others?
Well I’d like a man to think that I’m his type, but forever cause it seems that I only attract fuckboys or men that wants a one night stand, while my brunette friends don’t struggle to get a hot guy to settle with them, and I noticed that with famous men, like George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Neymar, and many others. It’s like they subconsciously view us as forever girlfriends 😔
Probably a lot of celebrities hace or had blonde hair and many women love the way it looks. As women get older they go for blonde hair even more cause it helps hide gray hair new growth and blends in better with light hair colors like blonde. I see it all the time abd most women walking into a salon for hair color are coming in for some variation of blonde or silver.
However blonde is not always better. Your hair color and style should emphasize or hide facial features as you desire. Sometimes blonde just doesn't go well with your skin tone.
Lol yeah brunettes are where it's at lol. Your brother is spot on I think. Even now blonds are portrayed as the main protagonist that has everything going for her, only recently has that started to change in film and media but in real life guys tend to have more nuanced tastes
If you’re fair there’s very little you can do to make yourself look like a hot brunette. Generally the attractiveness of brunettes includes the olive skin tone and dark eyes that are hard to fake. May as well become the type of white blonde that only little girls are. If there’s one thing men love almost as much as latinas it’s little girls.
People associate blonde hair with youth and stuff, and it's usually considered attractive? I'm naturally blonde and I tend to think natural hair color looks better, prefer dark though, it's kinda mysterious and compliments different facial features. Just depends on the skintone and stuff.
Blonde hair is fascinating because it's uncommon. I am a brunette, blonde hair gives me more attention and highlights my features. Maybe natural blondes don't have luck, but us fake ones juice the hell out of it. Marylin is the most famous blonde and she's not even a natural blonde.
Because look at the princesses, the tales of being fair of face and grace. Golden hair.
All the women in magazine covers are blonde or have blonde highlights.
Hitler even saw the future of man and woman with fair hair and eyes.
All I can say is its an age old preference that's been sold to us as something pure.
Im not into men that are blonde too
I prefer the dark natural hair on a man.
I've been with girls, I'm bisexual, and I prefer a brunette. They're sexier. Mysterious. Cute. Gorgeous. Beautiful. These blondes rely on their physical look, that there is nothing in that head of theirs. Looks dont last darling!
Lol, sniperwolf guy sounds creepy and you only have two samples.
In my experience most guys have a preference but that doesn't mean they can't like the other. Don't worry about it, there are plenty of people who like any given hair colour.
Well, as a male, I can confidently answer that "Blonde is Best!".
It kinda parallels the Japanese saying that "Women are like rice: the whiter the better.".
Blonde hair tends to complement "white" skin and blue eyes (yup, blue is best).
This has been the preferred mix by males throughout history.
I used to die over redheads, but now i do die over blue eyed blondes, redheads are left just in my filthy dreams. Brunettes are fine, I mean, wishes are wishes, if I get to somehow miraculously date someone then the hair wouldn't matter much as the relationship is more important
Women are simply convinced men prefer blondes when that's not really the case. All the men that I know like blondes, sure, but they also like brunettes. Back when I was younger guys preferred blondes more because of the ditsy, space cadet attitude that the blondes had. They thought it was cute. As they aged though, they preferred brunettes.
I don't have celebrity crushes, that's one group of people I generalize as lousy folk whom I want nothing to do with. I have no idea why women dye their hair blond though. It's not a thing for me. I can find attractive women of any hair color, skin color, eye color. It just depends on the whole presentation. And some women do look good as blonds even if they are not that naturally. This is extremely subjective. I don't care about hair color. That's all I know for sure.
Let's be honest a lot of people get blonde streaks etc... blonde is a light colour that shows a person hair etc.. but overall hair colour I have 0 preference but a lot of hot women i know have either brunette, red, blonde, black hair, and with blonde streaks that is hot
I don't know why white people think White Supremacy doesn't affect them also. Because the blonde hair, blue eyed stereotype is ingrained as the highest form of beauty due to soft power and the eons of social conditioning propagated by the White European Culturally Hegemonic Social Order we all live under. Global colonialism will do that.
Maybe because it matches the prettiest beauty standard of blue eyes and blonde hair. People consider it to be the most popular standard to be attractive when that's not the case at all.
i don't
the guys U know or meet R not the only guys N the world ! if a man wants to marry a woman with blonde hair then they can ! it is not us blondes problem that other women want to have our blonde hair either ! thanks
I really don’t pay much attention to hair colour.
My mums a natural blonde. I’m a brunette.
I think hair colour (and type) can be an attractive novelty when it isn’t usual to your ethnicity.
.. with you!.
I mean I agree with you.
Blonde hair was in fashion for a long time. Tv, show business, media has tried to make blond hair more attractive. And it did.
Because it is in our society. Outside of northern European ethnicities, blonde hair is rare while, throughout the rest of the world, dark (mostly black) hair is normal.
This i do not know it could be that nlonde hair gos with all colours
But i personality thing black hair is a lot better than blonde
My sister had an ex who made her feel bad by telling people that he wished she was blonde. I assume it's experiences like that
That's a dumb thing to say.
I believe that what is under the hair is more important than the hair color growing out of your head.
I really hate the blondes that dye their roots a different color!
Other words. I prefer the natural color.
I prefer blondes, green, or blue eyes, That's not to say I don't find brunettes attractive, I do very much so, however, history has shown I ended up with the former for 99% of anything more than a couple of dates.
It's a matter of preference, of course. I personally am hugely into blondes, but it's not universal. Surely, some guys would prefer brunettes, it doesn't mean the majority does.
Also, there is a lot more to woman's beauty, aside from hair.
Tbh it shouldn’t matter how u look on the outside or what hair color u got.
Light colored hair and eyes are societally considered the most attractive. I seriously doubt the guy who chose a brunette over you was deciding based on hair color.
The sexual revolution and obsession with our Marilyn Monroe types. Just sexualization period. I prefer brunettes.
I think this question didn't need the word why and it would be far less loaded. Why dont you ask the question you obviously want to, "why am I not considered prettier?"
For me, it is blonde or red with green or blue eyes.
They think it’ll make them popular like in the movies. I was born with dark blonde hair so I don't know
Because women make a point of treating each other like dog shit.
Only Asian think blonde hair beautiful and many Asian girls dyed their hair blonde too
Well I am one of many guys who prefer blondes. That is why.
I would honestly look like shit if i died my hair blond LMFAOOOOOO
I don’t know why that’s a thing. Men I assume. Maybe back in black and white movies. The dark haired ladies were always femme fatales.
Many do not. I believe that culture’s value of blondes was strongly influenced by Marilyn Monroe.
Personally I don't think blonde is better like brunettes but that's just me
Who? Which women are still stupid enough to believe something so primitive?
It's pretty common knowledge actually... At least for stereotypical conservative heteronormative men/boys.
Everyone has different types tho
That’s a pretty stereotypical myth of conservative men/boys.
@MannMitAntworten not really lol have u seen em they all look like a hot cheeto w a blond wig and internalized misogyny
I lived in Utah County, Utah. No one was orange and the hair colors were all natural. Even the heartland of patriarchy wasn’t anything as you described.
@MannMitAntworten
Well I don't know what you're talking about... At least the people who are most open about it look like that. I use tiktok and there's lots of em on it. You can check it out just put in the hashtag conservative or heart trump lol.
Yeah it is? What?
You are going by tik-tok for your perspective, eh. There in lays the problem.
@MannMitAntworten and? Going by any media ever just put tiktok as an example ✨✨
I was thinking about this the other night watching wonder woman and boy does she look good
they say blondes have more fun and i wanted to have more fun so i bleach my hair
Because that's what mass media has always told them
I don't know. I don't have any preference for hair color.
I tend to find women with black hair sexy the most as well as the ones with Dark brown and redheads.
i perfer brunettes but in the end it's how the woman treats the guy and what's on the inside of the woman that counts
Because most women think white men are superior to darker skin ones. And these are the same people who say white privilege don’t exist
That's not true
blondes are easier and more of a fun time fuck and chuck
I don't know. I like my brunette hair
Um, isn't this actually GIRL'S behavior?
Everybody is different im sire not all women believes that lol
I've never believed that.
Why do women believe talking snakes?
That different people like different things
