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

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.

Oh bog off OP - I meant it doesn't happen on here, not it's a censored topic. Two seconds of butt hurt brain engagement and you'd have got that!

Some brunettes are more attractive than some blondes

Sorted.

ohnomoresnow my sister has very blonde hair and very dark brown eyes. Even now as an adult and it's natural. She doesn't look odd but maybe she does to people who don't know her.

I also think hair colour doesn't make you pretty but I was brought up in a house where my sisters blonde hair was celebrated and because of this I find it hard to look favourably on my own dark hair even though some of the most beautiful people I know are dark haired. I really need to stop thinking like this.

She's saying MN is hardly the prime site for reading examples of 'blondes are sexier than everyone else' type posts.

But it’s ok to have a million trans threads? As seemingly the majority of people who use this website aren’t trans.

But I’m guessing the majority on here have a hair colour and experience relating to it.

No one is forcing anyone to read this thread so people can untwist their knickers.

I'm blonde. I look like a hungover basset hound in a Halloween wig. Nuff said.

halfwitpicker · 10/03/2018 15:22

I'm sorry but if you are slim with a good figure and nice face it doesn't matter what colour hair you've got, you'll be seen as attractive.

This made me laugh Grin you can’t offend me though. But clearly by your “!” Youre getting very worked up over this thread.

I don't think you're grasping what I'm saying. Start a thread about whatever you like but contrary to your OP MN is not an example of a website that pushes the 'blondes are best' narrative that you're concerned with.

blastomama · 10/03/2018 15:31

you can start whatever thread you like but its generally an idea not to base on something that never happened.

carryondoctor · 10/03/2018 15:41

Yes. That's what exclamation marks mean.

Not at all that I am mocking the fact that you're as dense as a donkey! Grin

Coconutspongexo · 10/03/2018 15:46

I’ve never seen this before.

I have blonde hair and I’m really friggin ugly.

upsideup · 10/03/2018 15:47

One thing I always think looks VERY odd, is people with brown eyes having blonde hair. Looks so WEIRD.

And they are never natural blondes.

My DSD has dark olive skin, brown eyes, dark eyelashes and eyebrows but has naturally blonde hair. I guess it is a bit odd as in unusual but her hair is really stiking and incredibly beautiful, she has it died dark atm and blonde suits her much better.

What a stupid comment to make I know a lot of natural blondes with brown eyes.

I can’t copy your other daft comment about blue eyes and green eyes but again that’s ridiculous.

I remember an old lady when I was about 9 telling me I looked strange having ginger hair and ‘brown/black eyes’ it’s was rude and hurt my feelings. Telling people they don’t suit their natural eye colour with their natural hair colour is fucking ridiculous

ohnomoresnow · 10/03/2018 15:51

No sorry @carryondoctor

The ladies are pretty of course, but the brown eyes and blonde hair looks very odd IMO.

Prob coz none of the above you have posted are actually blonde. Their hair is dyed. They are ALL brunettes.

I am sure the hair on your friend's 'half Iraqi' boy will darken when he is older.

ohnomoresnow · 10/03/2018 15:52

@Dippingmytoesin

I know many people who are natural blonde with brown eyes.

I bet they are not natural blonde, not with brown eyes.

ohnomoresnow · 10/03/2018 15:53

I never said anything about ginger hair and brown eyes anyway, so stop having a go at me for something I ain't fucking said!

squoosh · 10/03/2018 15:54

Dipping I think red hair and brown eyes is so striking. A look you see on non Celtic gingers in parts of Europe and some parts of the Middle East.

To think being blonde doesn’t automatically mean you’re attractive?
TinklyLittleLaugh · 10/03/2018 15:55

I'm a natural redhead. I always got an average sort of amount of male attention.

When I was at uni on a whim I decided to go blonde. Went out that night to my usual haunt, bloody hell I needed a stick to beat the lads off. It was very, very unnerving actually and I didn't really know how to handle it. I only stayed blonde for a few months.

Now in my mid fifties, with a lot of grey, I've given up my red hair dye for some blonde highlights through my sandy hair. It looks pretty good and I am once again getting more attention from men, well as much as a middle aged woman gets (happily married so not interested anyway).

So yeah, my deductions would be that men are pretty simple souls and like the blondes.

DalekDalekDalek · 10/03/2018 15:55

brown eyes and blonde hair looks very odd IMO.

What a ridiculous thing to say!

This whole thread is ridiculous. I have never seen anything on MN to suggest that EVERYONE on here thinks that blonde women are automatically attractive.

OP, could you provide some links to the threads that you have seen that have given you this impression?

Coconutspongexo · 10/03/2018 15:57

Well ohno I’ve known some of them since nursery - I doubt they dyed their hair in nursery and some are family who’ve been blonde since birth. You don’t understand genes do you?

squoosh I’ve never been back ginger! Because I always think I should have green eyes despite the fact I’m a non Celtic ginge

"Gosh the faux naïveté of people saying they’d never heard of the blondes are more attractive trope! Never heard of the phrase ‘blonde bombshell’ either?! 🙄"

inorite? 🤣

TinklyLittleLaugh · 10/03/2018 15:59

And of course you can be naturally bonde with brown eyes.

thelionthewitchandthebookcase · 10/03/2018 16:01

Erm in real life I'd say it was the dark, exotic and sultry who at considered most beautiful. Not sure who are in the top most beautiful women. Megan Fox? Michelle Keegan ? Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, just off the top of my head. But there will be loads more.

Weird thread.

redmarkone · 10/03/2018 16:01

its personal preference! but i think an attractive person is attractive whatever their hair colour.
