Why is it so rare to see blonde haired men in America?

Either I'm not paying attention or I've seen very few in the last few years. Perhaps there's just not a lot of true blondes here.

Prob depends which state you live kinda like Europe is depending on what country you live in. I'd imagine Utah has many blonde men as the population there is mostly of English and German descent. When I lived in England most of the English men I encountered were fair and blonde

Blond hair is quite rare anywhere except for Northern Europe and some Germanic continental European countries (Netherlands, Germany etc.). The U.S is mostly a mix of Germans, Brits, West Africans and Native American/Southern European mixes, and blond hair is just not very common in those ethnicities. It's not too uncommon in Germans and Brits, but as you probably know, the genes associated with blond hair are recessive and most Germans and Brits in the U.S are mixed with other European ethnicities where blond hair is less common, thus, brown and black are even more common.

You specify men as well, men actually have slightly darker pigmentation than women on average, but the great disparity is by far mostly due to women dyeing their hair which is not as common among males.

I wouldn't say blond haired men are extremely rare in the US but various shades of brown are much more common.

Because blonde is the feminine spelling while blond is the masculine.

Anyway, it's not that rare unless you're from New York or something.

Nothing that rare but less common than in countries like Sweden or Norway, due to different mixture of European ethnicities in typical white Americans. And blond hair isn't particularly uncommon.

You can find a fair amount of blondes in the Mountain West (places like Utah and Colorado) or the upper Midwest (Minnesota and the Dakotas). I suspect a fair amount of "whites" in America are kinda like me, a mix of two or more Europeans ethnicities, so often dominate genes like brown eyes or hair come into play.

I think that only in Utah, Minnesota and Pennsylvania blond hair is common among white Americans
In the rest of the states, light brown and dark brown hair predominates.

In Germany, the Netherlands, England (east), Poland and the Baltic countries are also much more common blondes than in the United States.

I doubt that they're much blonder than American whites as a whole.
