Arpig -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/27/2010 7:11:03 PM)

~FR~
I don't have any real preference with hair colour...I have dated & loved women with every hair colour (though if I to chose a fav it would be red...especially with pubes[;)]) both natural & dyed. To be honest I think women almost always look best with their natural colour (or one very close to it), but then again I also don't like make-up on women...I once told my ex (while we were still married) "Why try improve the Mona Lisa"...yeah I got laid good that night[:D]



JstAnotherSub -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/27/2010 7:17:50 PM)

I have auburn hair, and I can not imagine having any other color.

I am going blonde, one hair at a time though.....blonde sounds so much better that grey huh?

Seems like I saw something about red outselling blonde these days.

What was the question?



seekingOwnertoo -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 12:05:28 AM)

Oh, of course you are asking the fairer sex ... LOL ...

But the topic ... is too delicious to pass on!

I have dated ... all hair colors ... and I break them down ... this way:

1. Brunettes ... for the deepest most meaningful relationships ...

2. Redheads (especially long haired) ... for the Hottest meaningful relationships ...

3. Blondes ... for the hottest flirts ... that never go anywhere ... except a short term affair.

So maybe ... hair color has a lot to do with ... the message you project ... to me!

[sm=yeahright.gif] thanks for adding that, chip!


[sm=danger.gif] Okay, Okay ... I am always open ... to re-evaluating, the sample size!

I don't know about anyone else but usually when I've done major hair color changes, it's been in summer. In winter you're all bundled up, hat, scarves etc and don't want to be out and about in the weather. But summer brings on an urge to buy new clothes, color the hair and so on. I've gone flaming red a couple of times, always in summer. Naturally I was auburn when young, with the years it's gone black and now going white. Not gray, white.

The fairer sex have many reasons to change their hair color, as do men. Often certain shades go in and out of fashion, just like any other trend of clothing or automobiles and so on.

So, when looking at our options, the steriotypes are ;

Blonde, fun but flighty
Brunette, smart but dull
Redheads, highly sexual but hot tempered

( Bless all their little hearts )

We know that our hair color will effect the way people judge us, both positively and negitively. We do it anyways. Because we can. [;)]



CynthiaWVirginia -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 2:49:57 AM)

Dark hair rules in my area too.  I'm a transplant...and a natural blonde.  Since I'm not a child anymore, my hair is a darker blonde.
 
However, because of all the women who were peroxide blondes...with hair almost white...I was brainwashed into thinking I had become a brunette.
 
When I went back to California years ago, friends laughed at me for not knowing that I was blonde.  [:D]  Because I'm so horribly light skinned and can burn in 15 minutes, my hair never has a chance to get sun bleached. 
 
I don't know why so many want to go blonde.  I've seen women with the most drop-dead-gorgeous sable hair who destroy this crown of glory to have dried out, brittle, thick black roots, defiantly white-blonde hair. 
 
I would almost give my right arm for nice, thick, gorgeous hair like theirs, and...they throw it all away.  My own hair is uber-fine like a baby's...can't hold a curl.  Permanents go flat lickety split and make my hair brittle, so I gave them up years ago.  These women could do anything to their hair, look like freaking glamorous movie stars...if only they appreciated their own beautiful hair.
 
Another friend I have is Italian...and has the thickest mass of wavy, kinda softly curling hair...but...she lets her barber (I won't stoop to call the woman a beautician) cut it off until it's an inch long...and less at the back.  We're talking half an inch for most of her hair.  She makes me sick sick sick...
 



ladysurrey -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 2:57:32 AM)

I was born with blonde hair that turned from a pale blonde to a delicate shade of dull rat, thank god for peroxide now I just have to content with the grey hairs that appear to come through like a ariel right in the middle of my hair partning. I may as well stick a flag on the bloody things.[:-]



juliaoceania -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 10:23:21 AM)

Why not blond?

I have thought about going red head, but I was warned by a colorist it is hard to dye blond hair red (I'm naturally blond), it absorbs color unevenly, and can be too red, like Ronald McDonald red... which would possibly not look good on me...lol


Here is the thing, I have noticed a lot of women dying their hair lots of shades in the USA, and I did not think it was because they did not like their natural color necessarily, but they wanted to try a new one

Some colors compliment skin tones better than others…Blonde is such a color than provides the right contrast and color harmony to light caucasian facial tones. Especially those with low magenta and yellow tones in relation to cyan.

Otherwise blonde hair brightens the face and accentuates the eyes and lips…dark strong colors tend to draw the eye away from the eyes and mouth.

On the flip side of that, bottle blond can be fairly harsh as women age... making them look older.

Or you just stereotype people based upon their phenotypic trait expressions...

If I said, all Black men act this way

All White men act another way

Asian guys all behave in this entirely different way...well you might call me a racist.. but because you are using hair color to stereotype women I bet you think this is generally acceptable...


I tend to dismiss bigots from my dating pool altogether....


You know, when I was younger I was treated like an airhead because I was blond with big boobs and because I was young men got away with that... now I am older I laugh at men that base their opinions of women on such bullshit criteria.. Dude, on your best day you couldn't swim in the deep end with me



heartcream -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 10:47:48 AM)

Wow I find the comments on hair a tad extreme. Seriously I am not sure you can tell who a person is by the color of their hair.



sexyred1 -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 10:52:12 AM)

Yes, it does get somewhat tiresome to discuss hair color this much. The other day my moronic boss, in response to me asking him a question that he was unable to articulate, says to me, "Are you SURE you are a natural redhead, because you sure sound blonde!"

I refrained from slapping him, but it truly is annoying to go on about it.



juliaoceania -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 10:53:23 AM)

I think my response to the last guy might be harsh..

But this is a hot button for me because I felt pigeonholed because of the way I looked and it was a source of some insecurity on my part when dealing with the opposite sex prior to getting married. I remember I kicked my boyfriend's ass at Trivial Pursuit when I was 19 and shocked a room of his friends, none of them thought I was very "bright", and when I asked why that was so, they thought because I was a built blond I must be a stereotype.... and that is but one example....

Stereotypes are wounding...

Just what is wrong with a dark haired maiden, why the apparent need to be blonde ?


it's "youthful"?

many folks are blonde as children and then their hair darkens as they get older...perhaps turnng the hair-color-clock back to when they were blondes makes them feel younger...lots of folks don't like aspects of themselves showing their true age and will have medical procedures or change the natural color of their hair or skin to make them appear younger.

I'm a natural brunette, I've been blonde for maybe 9 months now, and I'm going to go back to brunette...maybe do a temporary pink before I do, but the blonde is seriously killing my hair.

The reason I went blonde is because I feel I look better blonde, but it's really not worth it IMO, it's ridiculously expensive to maintain, and I'm sick of having to use five thousand hair products to stop it from turning yellow.



NuevaVida -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 5:46:41 PM)

My owner loves the look of blondes.  He didn't get that with me, which tells me his preference run a lot deeper than hair color, but he does like to admire a pretty blonde now and then.

I told him once, most any light haired blonde he sees is a color adjustment, as most blondes darken after adolescence.  He looked at me like I had just taken away his candy lol.

He commented once on turning me blonde.  I would look atrocious as a blonde.  In fact, I asked my hair stylist about it and she said I'd have to get another hair stylist, because she won't do it.

As for stereotypes, people perpetuate their own.  There was a thread here recently on the characteristics of being a red head.  Everyone knows the "blondes have more fun" phrase.   And hey, maybe there's some truth to them, who knows, but a stereotype is just that - it's not an absolute.

Don't believe it, not in a sexual sense... I go celibate for years at a time when I am looking for a meaningful relationship...

I do have fun, just not that kind... does good old fashioned sense of adventure count?



Tantriqu -> RE: Why Blondes ? (6/28/2010 6:50:13 PM)

I don't care about hair colour, myself; had men throughout the spectrum except grey or none, and colour isn't part of the attraction.
However, I've read that red is the least attractive hair colour for men to have.

For women, though, I read an interesting article that blondes were part of the Hollywood casting couch/slash/star power in the late 20s and 30s as a dominance thang by the predominately Jewish studio brunet heads over the platinum Nordic women: interesting thought: Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow, Jean Arthur, but ew. And later Marilyn Monroe and Tippi Hedren were platinum actresses, famously dominated by their directors and partners.
Thank god for Mae West and Marlene Dietrich!

I don't believe it, I'm just pointing out how certain phrases perpetuate stereotypes, and those things are said by the very group being stereotyped.  So it's natural for people outside that group to believe there's truth to it.

I have no idea if that phrase was limited to sexual fun.  I know I have tons of fun in life so I have no reason to believe a silly phrase. [;)]
