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.

Brown eyes and blonde hair DOES look odd to me IN MY OPINION.

I am allowed a fucking opinion.

Whats more, the vast majority of blondes with brown eyes are NOT NATURAL BLONDES ANYWAY.

So chill the fuck out.

And as I said, I said FUCKALL about ginger hair with brown eyes. But BLONDE with brown eyes ---actual LIGHT BLONDE looks odd. IN MY OPINION. Don't like my opinion? Not a lot I can do about that. I don't like some shit I read on here either, so get over it FFS.

There have been waaaaaay more nasty and spiteful comments about blondes on here than 'I think brown eyes look odd with blonde hair.' There are some sensitive snowflakes on this thread!!!

And maybe there is the very rare occasion where someone is a NATURAL BLONDE with brown eyes. But I have never ever seen or known one. It's always dyed blonde.

Of course, some posters on here know DOZENS of 'NATURAL' light-blondes with brown eyes though yawn...

Fuck me wind your neck In Hmm
Kicking off because you’re chatting shite. No one said you wasn’t allowed an opinion but constantly saying their hair isn’t naturally blonde is stupid

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2018 16:04

I must be very odd as I'm naturally blonde with dark eyes.

DalekDalekDalek · 10/03/2018 16:05

ohno You just sound like you're having a tantrum now because no one agreed with you.

VladmirsPoutine · 10/03/2018 16:05

@ohnomoresnow I do hope for the sake of society that you are not a teacher - specifically in genealogy or genetics, or any branch of science, for that matter.

Holdtightwhenyoutiptoe · 10/03/2018 16:06

ohnomoresnow Confused after that magnificent tantrum I’m going to slowly back away from this thread now ..

Well, this got a bit heated didn't it?

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 10/03/2018 16:08

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

When you've cooled down, OP, can you point to any actual examples?

I've been here for 10 years and never seen it once, so it would be enlightening.

Otherwise, it's fairly hard to know what you want from this thread...

My brother is one of those men. He thinks if his girlfriend is blonde, it means she's gorgeous and other men will be jealous.
Just asked for a description of his new girlfriend and that's all I got....blonde

Holdtightwhenyoutiptoe · 10/03/2018 16:09

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

Except donkeys are considered intelligent. So odd insult.

Even if I was thick, you think it’s ok to mock people that aren’t smart? Wow. Really hope I don’t know you in real life.

I'm naturally blonde with brown eyes as is my daughter. Hadn't given any thought to us being freaks of nature. Shrug.

I actually got much more attention as a brunette. In my opinion it's easier to make brunette hair look shiney and glossy. Plus, so many women go lghter as they age. I do agree that generally people look better lightening their colour as they age but this doesn't automatically mean they should go blonde.

SnibbleAgain · 10/03/2018 16:13

I went to get my eyelashes dyed once (used to a lot as without mascara you can't really see them) and the woman suggested that I dye my eyebrows brown. At the time I thought, I've got natural blonde hair, surely dying my eyebrows will make it look like I've bleached it!

And yes obviously people come in all colitis and combinations, but in the UK if you see a pale women with dark eyebrows and blonde hair, chances are she dyed it, which is fine, of course.

SnibbleAgain · 10/03/2018 16:13

Colours not colitis!

Megan Fox and Kate Hopkins on a night out, I reckon Megan would lamp Kate in under 30 minutes

JazzHandsJack · 10/03/2018 16:14

Eh Confused

jaseyraex · 10/03/2018 16:15

Haven't rtft because it took an odd turn Hmm

However, I really haven't seen any threads saying being blonde makes you automatically attractive. Maybe I've missed them? I dyed my hair blonde in my late teens, I was definitely not attractive. In fact I got less male attention than before I dyed it. I have naturally ginger hair and have kept it that way since the blonde finally grew out!

TBH I think a lot of women are the same about tall men.

Coconuthusk · 10/03/2018 16:15

And attractiveness isn't associated with being blonde.

Some people's "type" is blonde but other like brunettes or red heads. It's just personal preference.

As long as you love your hair colour and preferably it should suit you then you'll be more attractive anyway.

MargeryFenworthy · 10/03/2018 16:17

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Wink

As a beautiful black woman I certainly don't need blonde hair to turn heads.

MsHarry · 10/03/2018 16:18

jaygee I like tall men but not forsaking all other qualities!

Jaygee61 · 10/03/2018 16:18

squoosh I once met a man with that colouring, he was actually from Galicia which is a quite Celtic part of Spain. He was gorgeous.

mintich · 10/03/2018 16:18

@jaygee61 I think you're right!

logicalmum · 10/03/2018 16:22

I think there are many women, especially celebs who are considered attractive because of their blonde hair. The hair will often mask a rather plain face itms. I think a lot of men can easily be blinded by a "tall slim blonde" regardless of what the face is like. Their hair is their beauty so to speak.

squoosh · 10/03/2018 16:23

Jaygee I hope you didn't let him go!

FoofFighter · 10/03/2018 16:26

God no, I'm blonde (natural initially but dyed now) and look like an old boot. Also still look like an old boot with brunette hair, red hair, grey hair... Hmm
