Brunettes and redheads.

But, sincerely, i don't decide to date a girl only for hairs or eyes colors.

[Querubín]

I prefer dark blondes with green eyes who dye their hair black :wink:wink:wink:p:p:p:D:D:D

blonde, brown or black :)

[mymy]

I think face features are important more than hair color...
Also, it's individual think how some hair color looks on girl.
About guys the same. But I must admit that I pay too much attention on too much light(totally blond) and too much dark guys at first. I find combination of light and dark elements the most attractive somehow.
And btw, red is just a little better on girls than on guys.

[_______]

just to clarify, i do like red hair on girls :D

For that reason, I prefer my ash blonde to platinum blonde. This is because with my eye color hair blond too would give a sense of clarity. However, my blond, although a clear color creates contrast. I also like the red skin as a way to create contrast. In my case I have very red lips and red cheeks I have them all year round but especially in summer.

[Smaland]

I tend to prefer redheads, but what matters most is a woman's heart and mind. :)

[Comte Arnau]

I give little importance to a girl's hair color, as I always suspect it isn't her natural color. In fact, I mostly give importance to the facial triangle, hair being but a frame. I've always thought that you know a girl is really beautiful when she'd still be so without her hair.

[Electronic God-Man]

I don't even care if they have hair.

[Mordid]

Hair coloyr is not imporant, really. It's personality that I care.

[Bloodeagle]

I prefer a dark haired woman and dark hair women usually prefer me. I guess opposites attract, with me. However, I do not find blondes or redheads ugly by any means. :)

[bluesky]

i prefer women with lightbrown,mediumbrown,darkbrown,and black hair with light eyes

[Black Sun Dimension]

Brunettes of course.

[Boudica]

brunette.

[Winterwolf]

The stereotype of silly blonde girls is just wrong, because most of the time fake blonde women give natural blondes a bad image.

Seconded.
As a blond I have a preference for brunette and dark haired women and I also noticed that this interest seems to be mutual quite often.

Of course there are also other things which matter (more), but one of the most obvious things you notice first about a woman is her hair and then her face and body, the way she moves, dresses, talks, etc...

[Groenewolf]

The poll should be multiple choice.

[Wyn]

I find dark-haired women to be most attractive, but this could simply be because natural blondes are so rare where I'm from and thus I'm less likely to encounter them.

For me though, hair colour only matters in the context of how it works with other features. For example, black (or dark brown, approaching black) hair coupled with light eyes and relatively pale, rosey skin is very beautiful.

[Olavsson]

I'm generally more attracted to redheads and blondes, but I also admire many with brown hair.
In fact, the only types it is impossible for me to feel attracted by at all, is non-Europeans. I'm probably to racially aware for that, hehe. :D

[Agrippa]

Hair color is to me of low importance. It must fit to the rest, so to say.

I don't really like red hair though, but even then, I saw some very attractive redheads, for which this color was ok and wouldn't have been a problem.

But probably, if being pinned down to just one hair color and looking for the hair color alone, I prefer light to medium brown slightly.

[Dario Argento]

I've liked girls with all kinds of hair colors. But I'd say I prefer dark brown/black convined with light eyes.

[Agrippa]

Funny that most are ok with brown, yet so many girls prefer extreme colors like red, blond and black - even color their hair and being told so by the industry.

In most cases the natural hair color fits a girl the best, unless they have a rather muddy tone of blond, brown or red - sometimes. In these cases, they can just strengthen their natural tendency by using a more clear shade, without changing completely. Complete changes rarely make girls much more attractive for me...

There is nothing I like less than seeing a woman dyed platinum blonde, but roots and black eyebrows. I find it very shocking. Likewise, I think that nature is wise and if we give a color for something. For example, I am very happy with the pigmentation that has touched me.

I doubt that, because your natural eyes movement performs a "Z" and therefore you will automatically look at the top of a picture first, before you realise the bottom of it.

I voted brunettes, but I also like redheads. I go for blondes sometimes, just not as often; having authentic blonde hair increases her chances.

[Barreldriver]

I love redheads and strawberry blonds. :p

[Ushtari]

Brunettes, without any doubt. For example whenever blonde swedish girls dye their hair brown, they look 10 times hotter.

[Adalwolf]

Brunettes and blonds. As far as facial features go, a medium brown and green eyes would be my ideal girl.

[Winterwolf]

The poll should be multiple choice.

Not necessarily, but I would have divided brunettes from black haired girls.

The poll outcome would have been more realistic. I still would have chosen brunette, but black haired would be my second choice.

The reality is that, for me, hair color is incidental to the beauty of the woman. I would probably prefer a more beautiful woman of any hair color over a less beautiful one of any other hair color.

That being said, all things being equal, I have had an aversion to blonde hair, and prefer black, red, or brown. Can't really say why...

[Jack B]

I, and my whole family except for my grandmother and female cousin (who are both redheads) have dark hair, but I do find myself really attracted to nice looking redheads like these Irish girls:

I remember being obsessed with a very cute redhead in school, I can't really even explain why (there were more more naturally blondish girls in the class, and brunettes obviously), it's probably just in my blood haha, I couldn't care less if the whole world would think red haired girls are ugly it just seems to be instinctually in me to find the the good looking ones really attractive, it's probably some kind of subconcious self preservation thing or something lol

That would indeed be a better division. Since those two hair colors are of a different kind. The different colors of brown hair are not black.

[Sahson]

Redheads all the way, the blondes, and then women with light brown hair.

[Peasant]

Only African hair and really curly hair puts me off. As for colour, depends on how well it fits their complexion or something.

[Magister Eckhart]

Absolutely blondes. I don't really care for platinum blonde; anywhere from a golden to a dirty blonde, really. I think blonde really looks best on women with Borreby and Alpine features. Women with longer, sharper features in my opinion typically look better with darker hair, while women with rounder, softer features look much better with blonde hair. I should add that women who dye their hair disgust me.

[Groenewolf]

For myself it would be a split between blonds and brunettes.

[Hess]

Which just shows you have not read anything there, besides being for Germanics only:rolleyes:

I've read a couple of threads on there, actually. I would say that some of the topics on there are interesting, but others are quite ridiculous.

http://forums.skadi.net/showthread.php?t=140948

this thread proves that some Skadi members are A)pretty shit at Taxonomy, and B)obviously harbor distrust for anyone who isn't "Germanic enough" for their taste.

By Skadi's standards, 60% of Europeans would be considered Mulattoes, Gypsies, and Turks :thumb001:

[hajduk]

I think the pure-blooded Slavs should be "saved" from living among their filthy mongrelized armenoid/mongoloid/animaloid countrymen.

Well, according to what I've read in the book The Races of Europe by Coon, the Slavs are our brothers, like the Celts and Balts. They were all originally Nordic. All early sources state that they were tall and blonde and indistinguishable from the Germanic tribes, only one source (Ibrahim ibn Yakub) states that the Bavarian Slavs were dark-haired. All the original Slavs were dolichocephalic, long-faced, and lepthomorphic, and started to degenerate racially only between the 15th and 19th centuries, when they suddenly, and inexplicably became brachycephalic and ugly.

I don't hate them, even though adapting an anti-Slav attitude seems to be a prerequisite to becoming a Germanic preservationist. I have seen Poles, Czechs, and even Croats who really surprised me with their Nordish looks.


I usually associate Poles with mongoloid and gypsy admixture, but they no doubt have a lot of Jew blood too.

I think that's a bit far fetched there, considering that we once controlled a good deal of Poland, intermixed, and that the Jewish influence is no more (Holocaust). Mongoloid influence is really a myth, at least this far West, and the Gypsies are down in Armenia and whatnot.


lol :D

strawberry blondes & redheads mainly but that's hardly in the top of my head when I look for a woman

[Lucretius]

fair skin with dark or brown hair would be great..but also redheads,which are very uncommon in Italy are beautiful.:D

That's not very rare in southern Europe. For example, many women say they do not like blondes but they want their children to be fair. I do not say the same about redheads because they exist on the topic of Irish horrible but ...
In the north, in some countries it is rare to be brown. So it is normal because they prefer to call more attention.

[Rosenrot]

I'm very surprised to see that the Brunettes are winning! I tought the blondes would be far in first place.

The hair colour is not important, i prefer the features, the type of hair, and light skinned women. But, i choose blonde, because my Fiancée is

[Blossom]

Haircolor is one of the last things I'm lookin at...features are so damn important. But, firstly first, mind, soul and body ;) that's it. Once he passed all exams, lol, about how he is, how he acts, his ambitions and stuff related to life, success, and love, then I have a look...and check if all things about his body are OK.

Haircolor is somehow in the middle,...medium place all over the things I'd look for his look. So in case he pass all exams, I prefer them light color (even a light brown) ...dont like hairy guys so, light hair would be more pleasant to me haha.

So yes, he's a blonde. :love0022:

[Falkata]

I dont really care about hair colour although an exotic colour like light blond, raven black or red gets my attention at first sight at least.
I´ve noticed during all my life that I´m more succesful with blondes though so I guess all that you´re saying about that the opposites attracts is somehow true

[Bridie]

Blonde men are very rarely attractive. So rare, in fact, that I've yet to see one. I theorise that they do exist though... to pull off pale hair, a man would have to have especially rugged/masculine facial and body characterists to counteract the feminine quality of his hair.

Redheaded men are rarely attractive either, due to the pale, pale skin (another feminine looking trait).

I guess that leaves only brunettes for me. :)

[antonio]

I´ve noticed during all my life that I´m more succesful with blondes

Then you better keep away from me...though Im not myself a blonde. :D

The hair colour doesn't attract me per se. Its texture yes, I definitely prefer women with slick hair and fair skin. Slick brown, slick auburn, slick golden.

Well I am a Southern European with black hair and I have voted honestly blonde hair on men. I am not able to judge female beauty but I have always considered Eastern European brunettes more beautiful. However it's not true that we Southern Europeans vote brunettes only becouse we are mostly brunettes. Indeed among the votes to blondes there's also my vote. :D
Also it's not true that Southern Europeans want fair children. Maybe in Spain, in Italy fair people are considered uglier. A friend of mine once even told me that she wants a black man and have nigga children. Not mulattos but all blacks. This is of course the exaggeration, but it's evident that Italians have a strong tanning mania.

According to novelist Alberto Moravia in his book "La Ciociara" the people of Frosinone province, next to your Abruzzo, only blondes were considered beautiful, a question of rarity perhaps.

This is inevitably what is happening. I think these kind of polls attract a large percentage of dishonesty. And, I think Mary Bryant has never visited Scandinavia. Men in Denmark are so attractive, they make me jealous.

As for me - I think I need to know on whether I should vote on first eye-catching attraction, or choice made from knowing which pick would provide the most fulfilling, satisfying company. I would vote differently based on this distinction.

[Debaser11]

All things being equal in terms of facial shape, red hair and blond hair are both superlative endowments for a woman, imo.

In all seriousness, I still say I'm surprised by this. I can't believe that there are so many Northern Europeans favouring darker pigmentation. No wonder the blonde gene is dying out. I hope their tastes restrict themselves to dark-haired women. Then again these days we're all programmed by advertising and pop culture to think swarthy, muscular, confident women are more attractive. All it does is make miscegenation seem less of a leap.

If pigmentation was the only criteria in mate selection ... then perhaps things would have been different. But in reality it is not even the most important one. Pigmentation is no longer a wildcard to a good relationship life. In modern life, sexual selection is probably less based on evolutionary goals than in the past - and more on individual, selfish needs. Hence the lower birthrate in Europe - people who have less difficulty in life are less bothered by the survival chances and prospering of their offspring (or even if they want any).

Not necessarily. For the same reasons as above.

This is inevitably what is happening. I think these kind of polls attract a large percentage of dishonesty. And, I think Mary Bryant has never visited Scandinavia. Men in Denmark are so attractive, they make me jealous.

As for me - I think I need to know on whether I should vote on first eye-catching attraction, or choice made from knowing which pick would provide the most fulfilling, satisfying company. I would vote differently based on this distinction.

Well Mary Bryan called portugues people "mulattos" in other thread so I dont think she´s a southern with anti northern views. She´s not even a southern european actually

[Sabinae]

Umm.... all types...hair isnt the main point.

Don't misrepresent what I've said. I said that there are MANY mullattos (many seeming to have very old, minor admix) in Portugal. I never said that these mullattos were native Portuguese.

In all seriousness, I still say I'm surprised by this. I can't believe that there are so many Northern Europeans favouring darker pigmentation. No wonder the blonde gene is dying out. I hope their tastes restrict themselves to dark-haired women. Then again these days we're all programmed by advertising and pop culture to think swarthy, muscular, confident women are more attractive. All it does is make miscegenation seem less of a leap.

Huh? Brown hair =/= darker pigmentation and brown hair is hardly some rarity in many Northern European countries. I don't think it takes advertising or pop culture for people to find brunettes attractive.

[Mordid]

Having dark pigmentation does not make you swarthy or looks Southern European. It's facial feature and skull what's important trait.

For instance, this Polish guy look heavily pigmented.

Does he looks Southern European ? No...

[Bridie]

Truth be known, shiny, healthy, thick, natural hair is always beautiful, irrespective of colour.

[Saruman]

Blondes, nothing to do with my recent "anthro knowledge", as I used to even pay attention long time ago to bottle blondes. It's far from absolute but I always had some degree of preference for that trait.

[Bloodeagle]

I can't believe that there are so many Northern Europeans favouring darker pigmentation. No wonder the blonde gene is dying out. I hope their tastes restrict themselves to dark-haired women.

My wife is fairly swarthy, being half Greek, but my blonde genes are so intense, that they have plowed right over any swarthy genes that got in their way. :p My kids have even inherited my pasty white skin. How's that for recessive. :cool:

[Agrippa]

Skin pigmentation being inherited codominant/intermediate, while hair and eye color is clearly distinguished by light being subdominant/recessive, dark dominant.

Fact is however, that:
- children are as a rule often lighter than adults and darken during maturation
- many dark phenotypes everywhere in the Europid sphere, but especially in Europe, have already RECESSIVE GENES FOR LIGHT PIGMENTATION in their genome.

If that is the case, the chances rise to 1:1 for having light (eye and hair) pigmented children...

Just to mention about hair/eye pigmentation and such..

My aunt has brown hair and pure brown eyes. She has two kids, one is blonde with blue eyes (she is already 15 or something so I doubt her hair is going to get darker), the other is light brown with grey eyes.

[Allenson]

Well, I like them all but if I had to choose one as my favorite, I would choose "strawberry blonde"...meaning, somewhere between red and blonde. Think Nicole Kidman. :)

[Äike]

The most beautiful woman who I have ever met is a redhead, thus I voted for the redheads.

[Laudanum]

Blondes.:)

I am attracted to chocolate curls.

In this order:


Dark brown / black haired European - its quite rare around here but I've noticed it on a few English and Irish ladies and they've usually looked great.
Red head: Same as Dark brown / black
Blonde
Light brown

[Mighty Atom]

Brunettes all the way. :thumb001:

[Libertas]

Brunettes all the way. :thumb001:

Preferably blue-eyed ones.

[safinator]

Brunettes, but hair color isn't really important.

[Rachel]

I dont pick color when it comes to hair but i do pick length. I like guys with a full head of hair. Though blad men are gaining on me.

[Trog]

I was in a meeting last week at work and there was a female there who was leading things. Anyway, she had light blonde hair, silver blue/grey eyes and honey-toned skin and she looked amazing. I decided then that her combination is one of the most striking and prettiest in women.

I traditionally go for men with dark hair.

[Hess]

I am mostly attracted by natural blondes (mostly dark blondes in Bulgaria) and redheads, maybe because I carry the redhead gene too.

[blaidd]

I like blonde men. All my boyfriends have been blonde Scandinavians. My current boyfriend is a Norwegian with platinum blonde hair. It's a shame he'll go bald one day. LOL.

But I'd go with a brunette or redheaded guy if he was attractive and a good person, it's just that I like the look of blonde hair. I'm blonde myself so I guess my obsession isn't that weird.

http://i.imm.io/7Dnl.jpeg

*swoon* :cool: Blondes... ♥

[BeerBaron]

Dark hair and light eyes.

Though I am guilty of going off on redhead tangents, finding a hot redhead is rare, so its hard to resist.

[Riki]

Hair coloyr is not imporant, really. It's personality that I care.

"I'm always such a liar because I'm Polack"

Its your statement:D.

[Bakura]

Natural redheads

[Bard]

I voted redheads, especially if the hair color is vivid and their beauty stunning, by the way the hair colour is not so important as long as it's natural, I just don't like women who use dyes on their hair.

[CelticTemplar]

Redheads > Blondes > Brunette

[Piparskeggr]

Can't really answer; hair colour is just part of the criteria. I've seen women with beautiful, healthy looking full heads of hair down to mid back, but recoil when I see their face...

[blaidd]

Since Hellhammer has brown hair, I now prefer brunettes. :cool:

Hands down it must be the retards. They are more compliant in bed.

[blaidd]

:eek: What about your blond-haired Norwegian boyfriend? :aufsmaul_2:

I love him more then anything ever, but his hair is now blue. Blue wasn't an option. So I voted the haircolor of my love on TA. :D

[Absinthe]

Doesn't matter, it depends on the general appearance, personality and charms...

But because this thread needs some juice, here it is: even though I have always thought to like fair men, I find myself strangely attracted to dark haired men with dark eyes, especially if they have fair skin, thin and straight eyebrows, and a really piercing look in the eyes. (photo example)

Must be the unconscious "bad boy" stereotype. :p

OMG! Such a delight!

[Curtis24]

I am attracted to beautiful women, the beauty is more important than the hair color. Beautiful redhead beats plain-looking blonde etc.

[Wölfin]

Consciously, in theory I would say I am more attracted to brunettes (from light brown to jet black) with light eyes.
Second I'd say redheads because I find they look so beautiful, but my attraction to them over the years, I've realized, is more admirative than sexual.
And last I'd say blonde.

But in Practice, I'd say I've been attracted to, especially natural or natural-looking blondes in a consistent manner almost as much as brunettes (at least if you look at my celebrity crush quotient).

However, I've come to realize it is probably because I am most strongly attracted to light eyes, and while I prefer brunettes because the contrast is more striking, it doesn't rule out blondes because many, especially the natural blondes, have light eyes.

So in reality my order of preference is probably
Light Eyed Brunette +/- Light Eyed Blonde > Light Eyed Redhead > Dark eyed Brunette > Dark eyed Redhead > Dark eyed Blonde.

So I'm not sure what to vote :D

[larali]

Love redhead boys. Especially the dark red color. Bright orange is nice too. I also love dark haired dudes- black/ dark brown, or medium brown. I am not especially attracted to pale blond boys but that's in general. Husband has dark blonde/ brownish hair.

[Han Cholo]

Brunettes definately for me.

[Panopticon]

I prefer light brown to brown hair with light eyes.

[rhiannon]

Yeah, I prefer 70's rock myself, but I do own a couple of Mötley Crüe albums:embarrassed

You're fucking AWESOME:) 70s rock kicked ass over the 80s.....by far!

[Hevneren]

Depends on the person. Some fit red hair better than others, some fit blond hair better and some fit brown hair better. Probably a boring and diplomatic answer, but there it is. Hair colour is low on my list, although I prefer natural hair colours to fake colours and bleached blond hair. I actually have an aversion to the washed out bleached blond bimbo fad.

[Moonbird]

I prefer men with dark hair. Men should be tall, dark and handsome.

[Hevneren]

Why? I fit at least one criteria (another is for others to judge). :p

[mdou3]

Love me some blondes :)

[Transmontano]

I like it all as long as I like it.

I don't like blonde, brunette or redhead. In a purely physical sense it depends how it all balances out with the face underneath, kind of like how a certain haircut suits one person and not the next and vice versa.

But if I had to choose and everything else being equal, I gravitate toward more or less the middle of the spectrum as far as eyes, hair and skin tone.

Then again getting to know someone and experiences can change my mind dramatically 180 degrees whether at first I thought they were an angel or a plain Jane.

I usually don't like these kinds of questions but ironically I voted anyway.

I can't count the times some woman said they like them tall, dark and handsome but then they go head over heels for some very short, pasty skinned, bald guy.

It also rubs me the wrong way when some people say men or women should be like XYZ rather than speaking for themselves as if imposing their taste on others and indirectly insulting people who don't fit their ideal...

I wonder if these people think they would be most others' first choice. Usually they probably aren't.

[Loki]

I like dark Mediterranean girls. :) Not only cute, but they have better temperament than blondes, it seems. And easier to get on with.

If you have residency you are eligible to vote for local\regional government since you are citizen of the UK, hence the EU. You can`t vote for parliament, though.

[StonyArabia]

None. They just don't appeal to me.

[Davy Jones's Locker]

Overall strawberry-blonde or dark blonde/light brown would be my fave. I don't really like very light (eg almost white) or very dark hair.

Not too bothered though, there are more important attributes when considering the attractiveness of a woman.

[Kazimiera]

I have been a person of many hair colours and noticed that people treat you differently depending on what your hair colour is.

I am naturally blonde and had endless nonsense. Guys would whistle at me in the street and call out things like "Come f*** me Barbie"! I got plenty of male attention but most of it was men who wanted one-night stands. The final straw happened to me one night in a pub where a group of some very large and very drunk men held me by my arms and pulled my pants and underwear down. Then they pushed me against the bar counter and and pulled my legs apart to check if I was a "real blonde".

The next day I dyed my hair black. And then the world changed. I did not get as much male attention, but the attention I did get was of a more serious nature. Men were more interested in having a relationship than getting laid. Women are nicer to me, people in general are much nicer. Black hair is definitely more "low key" than blonde.

I much prefer having dark hair over light hair.

How do you as women see this? Any experiences like this when dying your hair?

Men, how do you feel about women with different hair colours?

[Hurrem sultana]

I see no big difference,,,i am a natural blonde with dyed brown hair right now

My hair is naturally dark brown (looks black) and I don´t like how it contrasts with my very pale skin. I dye it red, it looks less harsh and more natural.

God, the interpretation of haircolour changes from country to country.

I've found an interesting article about how Italian men imagine the blonde and the ravenhead to be.

The BLONDE in Italy is seen as an innocent, pure woman, unwary, a prey for the hunter-man. The blonde is vulnerable and ingenuous.

The RAVENHEAD is shameless and self confident, aggressive, dangerous, sexually hot. She's partially allowed to slightly surpass the limit of elegance.

The blonde is seen like the princess to save and therefore she attracts hunter-men.

The ravenhead is seen as a hunting-panther and therefore attracts men who like to be provoked.

I am and feel definitely ravenhead and I like to be ravenhead (that is diffent from the simple brunette). It's true that it scares some guys who look at you like if you have a horsewhip hidden in your slips, but I really don't feel like a princess to save. I like to stay on the dark mysterious side and to attract only men with enough "balls" to face me.

Source (http://www.adessodonna.net/2011/06/bionda-o-mora-lui-chi-preferisce.html):


Lasciando da parte l’indole personale della donna, l’uomo vede la bionda in un modo preciso e, per certi versi, pretende il rispetto delle regole stabilite ormai da tempo epocale. Si tratta di uno schema mentale legato alla sessualità, dove la donna dai capelli dorati deve essere prima di tutto sprovveduta. Questa è una caratteristica essenziale per stimolare in lui la naturale predisposizione alla caccia di una facile preda da conquistare. Deve essere, pertanto, distratta e poco attenta a ciò che la circonda, e mostrare lasciva fiducia nell’uomo, libero così di muoversi tra le sue difese abbassate o, ancor meglio, assenti. La donna, ignara del pericolo, permette all’uomo la principale forma di violazione, attivando in tal modo la procedura sessuale maschile nei suoi confronti a livello concreto. Il desiderio appare, di conseguenza, forte e deciso, incrementato dalla strada che, a parer suo, risulta spianata. Nell’ottica maschile, è indispensabile che la bionda si imbarazzi facilmente così da renderla a suoi occhi ancor più vulnerabile, a maggior ragione se il suo pudore viene da lei ripetutamente dimostrato e, ovviamente, costantemente violato. Per l’uomo, la bionda viene rappresentata come la pecorella smarrita che per puro caso si trova nel mezzo di un branco di lupi e, ignara del pericolo, si affida ad uno di essi per essere aiutata a ritrovare la strada di casa.

Per quanto concerne la mora, l’uomo pretende il rispetto delle caratteristiche stabilite per il caso, cioè deve essere principalmente sicura di sé e spudorata, non deve pertanto mostrare dubbi sulle proprie potenzialità e capacità, inoltre deve stupirlo con una dose consistente di egocentrismo, a volte elegantemente oltre i limiti del buon costume, ma senza forzature di genere. La mora deve presentarsi con una naturale disinvoltura e di carattere deciso e aggressivo, punti decisivi per risultare all’ottica maschile come decisamente pericolosa. Ha quindi il compito di irrompere nel suo contesto come una concreta e potente minaccia sessuale. Appare evidente, alla luce di quanto detto, che non può e non deve dimostrare tentennamenti, deve essere particolarmente calda e, una volta iniziata la procedura sessuale maschile, lui si deve sentire predato dalla corvina cacciatrice, che ha anche il ruolo di determinare il percorso di realizzazione, in termini di concretezza. La mora viene rappresentata nella visione maschile come la pericolosa fiera cacciatrice che, affamata, lo bracca, senza apparente impegno, come vittima per soddisfare i propri bisogni e le proprie necessità.

I think the origins of these stereotypes are both from literature. The blonde rapresents in the Italian mindset the angel-woman of the Medieval chançons who saves the man with her purity.
The ravehead appears in literature with the romanticism and even more with Scapigliatura, that prefers gothic features and a mysterious look in women, that with their gaze devour the soul of the man.

[brunette]

I love my brunette hair because I have streaks of multi colours in it mostly red. It shines in the sun and it's curly also.

[Europa]

Brunettes mostly,but that doesn't mean I've never liked blonds.I can't stand redheads with freckles...

[Alvarado]

I dislike redheads, not sure why.

[Útrám]

I'm indifferent to hair pigment. I just prefer women with attractive facial features. A good waist to hip ratio is a plus too.

[Lábaru]

Brunette and redhead or reddish brown, or any shade of brown.

[Melina]

My hair is naturally blonde but I have dyed it black,brown and red. And yes I feel that with blonde hair more men look at me.

[Tarja]

I've had all varieties of hair colours and I don't feel that I've been treated any differently as a result of them. I seldom get attention, and certainly not more now that I'm back to blonde. :) It's ridiculous to assume a blonde would be more 'up for it', but I suppose that's just how it is.

[Artek]

Blondes>pale ravenheads>redheads>bronze .
Anyway, having bronze hair doesn't disqualify any girl in my eyes,
I just evaluate this single trait - hair colour. The rest is more important, IMO.

Excellent posting. The man knows what he is talking about. A hip that is good for child-bearing and a healthy, beautiful face count most. :thumb001:

For hair I prefer dark brown, but I´m ok with everything else, too - as long as the whole package fits. I can´t stand it when women dye their hair. I want a woman that I like, not a fake that I like.

Favorite hair colour is something like this:

Mine Prefference goes out to mainly Redheads/Brunettes and Blondes.
It really depends on the beauty of each own.
I have to admit my promiscuity which makes it hard to reduce myself only to one haircolour.

[Supreme American]

I've never dyed my hair in my life. I'm a brunette.

[PetiteParisienne]

My hair is naturally dark blonde, but I've been dying it black or red on and off for years. I really love having my hair black, but it can be a bit harsh with my facial features. My sister is a natural red-head, so I look good with red hair, too. Red is hard to maintain, though, so I might go back to my natural colour soon.

I seriously could not care less.

Hair color is of a almost inexistent importance when it comes to a potential significant other. It seems like a very banal thing to ponder upon.

[Chronos]

Red is hard to maintain, though, so I might go back to my natural colour soon.

Have you tried this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henna ?

[Incal]

Hair color is irrelevant to me when it comes to choose a woman.

I have done red with henna before. It's a b*tch to apply, but very therapeutic for the hair.

But unfortunately after you have had chemical red, henna just doesnt look red enough and people will start commenting how your hair is suddenly more brown.





My hair is naturally brown but I prefer to be a redhead.
As for guys... I prefer darker hair.

I´ve recently started using a new type of permanent hair color called Inoa, from L´Oreal. It´s amonia-free and doesn´t dry out you hair like other dyes.
I use shade 6.46:

I've learned to ignore a woman's hair. It was a source for constant disappointment. Not easy in the beginning, though.

[Atlantic Islander]

I've been dying my hair red since I was thirteen, I've also dyed it black a few times.

I wanted to add additional Lines onto this Thread :)
Natural Haircolour rules the most on Females..
Just my opinion.

[Nordish Persephone]

Everyone on here knew what I would vote! :p

You voted Black i´m right..

Brown hair or brown with reddish nuance (auburn),dark reddish is nice also.
Least I like is black and very light blonde.

[Arrow Cross]

Blonde > black > everything else, though the winner does not triumph by an overly huge margin. I simply find light hair more aesthetic, but the mystery provided by its opposite is also a grateful factor. Especially when contrasted against signature European paleness of skin, as in the case of the OP. http://www.theapricity.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

That said, overall, hair colour ranks rather low in what I find relevant in a woman's appearance.

[~Nik~]

Light chestnut. It is the color of my actual girlfriend.

[SilverKnight]

I prefer brunettes, but could go for redheads as well...

[CelticViking]

I prefer
1. Blonde
2. Light Brown
3. Red
4. Dark Brown.
5. Black/ Darker Brown James Bond.

[Libertas]

I agree with most of this but I like black hair with blue eyes and pale skin.

Light blonde is unattractive just like grey hair in the elderly.

I've tried Inoa too. It look good but faded out in only 2 weeks.

[Matilda]

I've been black, brown, blonde, orange, red and green.
Blonde gets more attention from random men on the street.
Red and black makes me look more mature.
With green hair people looked at me like I was a freak.
I'm stuck with light brown now.

[The Alchemist]

Everyone says that i look better with light hair, especially medium blond, but i'm sick of dyeng them too much. I like the way i look with a natural looking light brown. But i have to admit that with blonde hair i get much more attention, but i dislike that stereotype of "sexy blonde". I couldn't care less about it.

[Vixen]

Yup. That´s the only problem I have with it. Fades too quickly.

[Saruman]

A variety but I always had a thing for blondes!:D

[Bardamu]

I have been a person of many hair colours and noticed that people treat you differently depending on what your hair colour is.

I am naturally blonde and had endless nonsense. Guys would whistle at me in the street and call out things like "Come f*** me Barbie"! I got plenty of male attention but most of it was men who wanted one-night stands. The final straw happened to me one night in a pub where a group of some very large and very drunk men held me by my arms and pulled my pants and underwear down. Then they pushed me against the bar counter and and pulled my legs apart to check if I was a "real blonde".



That sounds pretty bad. You should definitely reappraise the people you choose to drink with. So far as the question goes, I prefer traditional and modest white women, whatever their hair color. I don't wish to see any of the precious recessive traits of Europeans go extinct, so in that sense I prefer the most endangered, which is red heads.

[rashka]

If so many men prefer blonds then why do they always go after the brunettes?

[Artek]

Maybe the best blondes are already taken ;D

It wouldn't surprise me if this "blonde" thing is a conspiracy.

[jerney]

I'm light brown, but prefer dark brown hair on myself. I'm also pretty fond of red hair lately

[Arsen_]

Hair color of women is not a criteria for choice to me but only dark-haired women have ability to make me either really happy or extremely sad.

[Quorra]

I like black hairs.

:laugh2:

[Maddy]

I think the best hair color for a person is usually what their natural color is....I really think all hair colors are equally beautiful....on both men and women

[Mraz]

Black hairs and pale skin is the best combination.
I believe that the hair color can influence your opinion
about someone.

[Anthropologique]

Redheads.
