Actually, that's probably because dyed red hair is a /lot/ harder to spot than bleached blonde hair. Bleached blonde hair seems to be fashionable simply because it's obvious that it's bleached, it is possible to get dyes that aren't so obvious.

A natural red head is fairly easy to spot because they will tend to have very fair pigmentation (associated with an almost complete inability to tan of natural red heads) and freckles. Both of these non-hair related attributes correlate very strongly with carrying copies of the ginger gene. Likewise, the texture and thickness tend to be different. (and while I can perhaps attribute this to lack of experience, most of the hair dyes I've seen for red very much do not look like natural hues) While I'm sure there are those fakes who can slip below my radar, I'm pretty sure that my guesses on this particular hair color are pretty good.

If you pay attention to things like someone's pigmentation, ethnicity, and eyebrows/body hair I bet you can gauge their natural hair color with a fairly high degree of accuracy.

Of course, it helps when a huge chunk of the white population around here are very Italian...

*shifty eyes* What, I'm the only person with an interest in guessing the natural hair color of the people I see?

Brunettes rule as well.

How a woman looks doesn't matter blah blah blah....

That being said, the color of the hair doesn't matter so much, but I do like freckles

I think female natural redheads are striking. I'm not so much into the fake, crayola Ronald-McDonald color.

You're only talking about CopperTops twoshots :lol:

. I personally dont like ginger hair that much but I cetainly do :heart:

the Coppertops AND the Auburnettes :wink:

. Ive noticed that the (white)Auburnettes dont have freckles and dont always have pale skin. Keep in mind that there ARE some noncaucasian women who do seem to be natural redheads-such as Latina's and Iranians

. They have this Really Dark red hue to their hair-not to mention that its str8t which I like.

ask a woman if she feels that how she looks doesn't matter.

better yet, try suggesting to a woman that her appearance doesn't matter or that she shouldn't put any effort into being attractive.

and I don't mean trying to be sweet and saying it in a way that suggests that she's always attractive regardless of what she does or how she actually looks.

if you dont see my point.. if you tell someone that their appearance doesn't matter, they can take that as you suggesting that they are physically unattractive anyways and likely they will not respond in a way that your statement suggests that they should.

generally it's not sweet to say to someone, "I can love you even though you look ugly."

and acting in such a way but not presenting your true view on it, well, isn't exactly forthcoming.

it's a good idea and all and a guidline for respecting others.. i think there are those that are pressured into accepting the idea on the basis of if you reject a person bc you don't find them physically attractive then you are reducing value from their human status, but at the same time it's perfectly acceptable to not be attracted to someone that is outside of your gender preference, though you don't devalue them as a human being.

would anybody here accuse me of being shallow?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't like blondes and I don't like orange hair either. I like hair that's ACTUALLY red--unnaturally so.

Orange you say? Do you mean coppertops or that unnatural blaze orange hair dye. Royal Blue is really the best as far as unnatural hair colors go for women

I don't understand this hair's color discrimination. Why there's so much anti-blondes attitude? A pretty blonde is much more attractive than an ugly brunette and a pretty brunette is much more attractive than an ugly blonde ..... I don't get it.

basicly, it would be comparing 'pretty blondes' to 'pretty redheads' and it's just about which a person would have a tendancy to prefer. not everybody is going to have an opinion for this one. i didn't vote, hair color does not stand out as well in deciding if im attracted to someone enough to say that i prefer one or the other.

they wanted to compare blonde to red color. brunettes are excluded here because it's just not involved in what the original poster is considering.

mentioning brunettes would be as appropriate as bringing up kiwis when a person is trying to get information on people's preference between apples and bananas.

they just aren't factoring brunettes into the question because it doesn't contribute to the information that they are trying to get at.

so you like kiwis, but between apples and bananas, which do you like better.

if you are really interested, s'pose you could make a new poll that includes other hair colors, i haven't seen anybody stick up for gray/white/silver hair yet.

Oops! Forgot that option :oops:

. I have to wonder though-do most men(beyond WP)in general regard blonde as the most attractive hair color? I presumed so for a long time until I started noticing redheads

. Where I live, blonde hair is NOT that uncommon. But the real golden blonde isnt as prevalent as dark blond(so-called "dirty blonde") or really pale, whitish blonde. Red hair though, still is a site to behold. I should also like to point out that red hair is A LOT more common in women than in men. The only men I see with red hair are norwegians who have that light blondish-ginger red hair(and eyebrows too :lol:

I like redheads and brunettes more than I like blondes... but blondes can be attractive as well.

The preference is just third on the list, that's all
