Nothing of Earth shaking importance. :p


I, personally, am torn between extremes, black and blonde. However, as a pre-teen I was really drawn to blondes.

My hair is brown and I like it that way... I tend to like black or red (or both) hair on women but its not really a deciding factor in any way shape or form.

Not red.

Sorry nothing against you personally just bad experiences with every single red haired woman I have ever come across.


My hair is naturally brown (a dark brown) but I have it streaked with either caramel blond or dirty blond. Need a dark blond so it melds well.

Read hair? Does it have printing on it? ;)

Personally, I've preferred a warm reddish-brown on myself but am naturally going with the Rogue look (brown with streaks of natural silver through it) now.

whats natural got to do with it?

is it a deal breaker if you find out that the woman you are staring at isnt a natural blonde?

on myself i prefer blonde/strawberry blonde. on men i find long shiny black hair compelling.

Nope, not a deal breaker. I was excluding the obvious dye job colors (purple, green, plaid, etc.). I also left out grey/silver/white.

Yeah the crunchie look is pretty bad. Same goes for Asians it just doesn't work espeically when it goes wrong and turns orange.

The only Asians that dye their hair blonde are the Japanese, and to be honest they'd have to try harder than that to make themselves look even uglier.

Black hair, but only if it's that wavy-curly look that I associate with the Mediterranean for some reason (well, probably because a lot of women from that region tend to have that type of hair).

Straight hair....I prefer blondes. Though it really isn't something I'm too picky about.

Not a deal breaker, but it does send up a warning flare re self acceptance issues...

I don't think that's very accurate, any more than deciding that buying pretty clothes sends up a warning flare. I think most women who dye their hair do so because it's kinda fun and they happen to like another color, not because they hate their natural hair color or something.

This. I'm sorry to disappoint all ye internet psychanalists, but sometimes people just do things because they want to, not because of some underlying personality flaw.

Oh, and brunette. Not that I'd ever turn anyone down because of their hair-colour. That'd just be silly.

Considering I live in Scotland and can categorically tell you that ginger hair is no more common here than anywhere else in the UK?

Which is just as well, as I have a near-crippling dislike of ginger hair. Ginger hair makes me feel ill, I associate it with inadequate personal hygiene, particularly dandruff and body odour, and I hold my breath when I'm around them. I also vomited when I was unfortunately stuck in a lift with one.

Sorry, I was wrong. 40% carry the recessive gene, only 13" are actually ginger/red haired. On a sidenote, do you have problems with hair that is actually red, or just ginger?

This isn't the first time you've mentioned that an irrelevant bodily detail causes forceful expulsion of fluids from your stomach. That sounds pretty serious, you need to see a doctor.

I don't mind strawberry blonde (but it has to be mostly blonde), or, to a certain extent, dark red on women.

Any ginger/red on men is potentially an opportunity for spontaneous regurgitation.

For me, its not so much the color of one's hair than the style that wins me over. If I had to choose, I would say blonde, particularly very light blonde (as uncommon as it is).

I prefer brunettes, or redheads personally, but it's not in any way a deal-breaker if I were to run across a hot little blonde. I used to have dark brown hair, and then I started to go bald, so I shaved it all off. My beard/mustache grows in reddish/light brown.

I seem to have a mild preference for brown hair on guys, insofar as most of the guys I've been attracted to have had brown hair, but I really don't mind other colors. To the extent that I care about hair at all, I'm much more interested in its length and texture than its color. Hair that is soft and wavy and just a bit longer than average for a guy is perfect - long enough I can bury my hands or face in it, but not so long he ends up looking like Fabio or something. :tongue:

Brunettes, mostly, but also black hair; anything but blonde hair, really. I don't know why it is, but I'm just not attracted to blondes. Blondes with eyeliner are particularly ugly. Also much irrational dislike for blonde men of my generation, but that's largely because my evil former flatmate (may he rot from within) used to dye his (with dishwashing liquid, I kid you not).

Regarding Getbrett's hilariously bigoted comments upstream; replace "redheads" with "black people" and something magical occurs. That's all that should need to be said about that.

The hair colour I like the least is blonde. I'll make exceptions of course, but I generally don't go gaga for blondes of either gender.

My favourite hair colour for men is salt and pepper...I like my men old :D

Women, meh. They have boobs, does it really matter what their hair colour is?
