Search Results: hair style

Say you meet a near-ideal girl or guy who lives nearby or works close to you. She or he is probably a 8 or 8.5 in looks and has 90-95% of what you want in a partner. But you hear she or he is only into people of a certain hair color or hair style. Like, she or he "only likes blondes" or "only dates people with dreadlocks." or "only likes bald guys."

I dated a girl who was like this. She only liked men with my hairstyle; which is a short buzzcut and my natural hair. I didn't have to change it for her, but she was a blonde and I asked her if she'd change her hair to be a redhead, since that's my favorite hair color on women. She didn't text back, but the next day, she showed up as a strawberry blonde, instead of her usual yellow. This didn't mean much though, as she changed her hair every 7 to 10 days anyway.

I've never liked my hair or having to cut it every three weeks anyway, so as long as I didn't have to dye it some SJW color, like green, blue, or pink, I'd be willing to change my hair if it means happily dating a 9 out of 10 lady.

Would you change your hair style or hair color to date someone?

From the Article:

Racism kills, and a new study on the potentially harmful effects of chemical hair straighteners has shown the paradox many nonwhite people face when forced to conform to white beauty standards.

Late last week, the National Institutes of Health released findings from a study that suggested women who use chemical hair straighteners could have a higher risk of developing uterine cancer than those who do not use them.

As NBC News reported:

Women using chemical hair-straightening products are at a higher risk of uterine cancer than women who reported not using them, a new study by the National Institutes of Health found. Researchers noted that Black women may have a higher risk because they are more likely to use such products more frequently. A group of researchers with the NIH’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences looked at the hair care habits of more than 33,000 women and found that those who used chemical hair straightening products at least four times a year were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer.

Studies like this are precisely why activists and lawmakers have been demanding full passage of the Crown Act, a federal bill that would ban discrimination based on hair style and texture.
