To think being blonde doesn’t automatically mean you’re attractive?

[Holdtightwhenyoutiptoe]

I see it on here a lot. Because someone is blonde they are automatically gorgeous.

I’m not saying any other colour is better. I’m saying that certain hair colours suit different people.

I look better as a brunette, I wasn’t as attractive when I was blonde. I’m sure others have experienced this the other way around too.

I’m just getting quite tired of the whole everything needs to be light in order for anyone to be considered pretty.

This is all news to me, which threads?

Of course it doesn't. Look at Myra Hindley.

Sure you've got the right website?

I've not heard of this. I've heard of the 'blondes have more fun' rubbish but never blondes are more attractive.

I'm blonde & certainly not gorgeous.

I've never seen this attitude on here either.

You have literally never seen that on here, or anywhere. Ever.

What is your agenda?

😂

I agree, it’s just a hair colour after all.

Here’s Igor Outkine, blond, but only blessed with music!
Not sure if being a redhead, brunette, or silvery fox would make his features less homey.

Eh?

Woah! How’s the weather today in Paranoid City?

Seriously chill your beans

Could you link to some of these 'a lot' comments? Because I'm blonde and look like I hit every branch on the way down but I'm up for an ego boost.

I used to have a Canadian friend who was quite bemused by what seemed like a massive preference for blonde hair in the British press. She said that Britain was the only place that she knew of where it was like this.

I wonder if it is because so many Anglo Saxon children start off with light blonde hair which then darkens as the year get older. So lightish blonde hair is associated with youth.

.....Jim Davidson....,
This isn’t what you meant is it?

Oh come off it, OP... of course there is a trope in society at large that blonde with big boobs = gorgeous, but Mumsnet is NOT peddling that line.

There are some men who would whistle at a woman with long blonde hair even if the rest of her looked like a Dalek, but most men aren't like that. I'm mixed race, I've got dark hair, dark eyes, tan skin...and without being big-headed, i don't lack for male attention.

To those saying it's never on here. I do see it. Although not explicitly 'blondes are more attractive'. But things like 'DH has a new colleague at work, she's absolutely gorgeous, blonde, slim, big gorgeous eyes etc etc. Implying that one of the things that makes her gorgeous is the fact that she is blonde.

chill your beans Sounds like something my teen DS would say.

I've never seen this on here either. Many different things make up attractiveness and people are attracted to all different things.

If blonde made you attractive everyone would be at the bleach 🤣

Of course not every blonde is attractive I haven't seen any threads on this site that you describe.

The OP might have read this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3190109-Are-you-the-better-looking-sibling?pg=1&order=

There are quite a few people describing their blonde sibling as more attractive and seeming to feel their darker hair maybe is part of what makes them feel less attractive.

I never look at S&B, Relationships or the Sex topic. Is that where all this is going on?

I see this all the time, I have a friend with long blonde hair and the attention she gets is astonishing. I don’t think blonde hair makes you more attractive than you are, but it stands out compared to brunettes as it’s more unusual, and like red hair, it’s a lovely colour. I guess it’s got that association with glamour as so many people in adverts or on tv are always blonde, disproportionately to the amount of blondes in real life.
