    Relating to one of Hortense's questions above:


    I had blond hair from birth until about age 7 (toehead blond), when it turned dark brown. I started getting grey hairs at 14 (random, not a streak). My Dad's and Brother's hair, the same way.


    When I spent a summer crewing on a charter sailboat, the Sun bleached my hair quite a bit. I've never colored my hair, except once I did blue-black when I was in high school.


    So am I a blond?

    Questions I ponder because of this article:
    I wanna know why men sleep with women after such a horrible date (and no apparent connection/chemistry)?
    When do studies on blonde/brunette/redhaired males get press time?
    Other than Clariol and their (advertising) kin, who really cares about this?
    When is Tyra gonna put on a blonde wig and try to dispel the myth of blondeness through false experience (like the fat suit show)?

    Related: I heard that the gene for naturally blond hair will no longer be in the human gene pool. Given the wide spectrum of "blonde," maybe it's just that Icelandic platinum color?


    While we're at it, what about those of us who are somewhere in between blonde and brunette? Shenanigans!

    Whereas redheads are merely likely to simply forego conversation altogether and get right to the sexy time. We save all our talking for the fourth or fifth sexy time, I mean DATE, when we realize we have nothing to talk about.


    Oh, that's just me? Oh...

    6 per cent confessed that they had decided to bring along their mother or pet to meet their potential partner... Dollars to donuts there's a correlation with home-done haircuts here.

    yeah, this comes up every time we read nonsense like this, but I have to say it: correlation does not mean causation.

    you forgot using outside voices inside, dancing on tables, and peeing your pants in an elevator... i'm sure there's more, but my memory of last night is still fuzzy from the hangover.

    I wonder how many of them were natural blondes and how many of them were bottle blondes who dyed their hair to adhere to the pornified female ideal? It stands to reason that someone who changes their appearance to appease men may do other things that they think will appease men.

    @morninggloria: That would differentiate between women who dye their hair blonde for their own reasons versus those who dye their hair to be "cuter" or whatever. But motives are hard to pin down, even in yourself.

    But do they mean NATURAL blondes? Or dyed blondes? Or just all people who say "I'm blonde"?

    I don't know where I'm going with this...

    @greengrey: You know, I don't think the article authors knew quite where they were headed, either. Other than blondes: Easy! Yay! I found the rest of the article more interesting.

    Why is this hair color research even necessary? This smacks of a bullshit 'provocative' press release designed to promote their dating site.

    Actually, one of the things I found interesting about this survey is how men and women aren't actually *that* different. Sure, 5 percentage points here and there underline stereotypes, but in the larger picture...


    And is this an anecdotal study, as in, men reported that they felt blondes were less attractive due to these behaviors? It is simply a survey. Because the article presents it as an absolute of behavior before the filter of the male date's own prejudi.


    Which isn't a word, I know. But I like it!
