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.

All hair colour is stereotyped though. As a redhead I'm often treated as something that men should 'experience at least once' 😷 bad tempered, feisty etc etc All utter shite obviously

Tall leggy blondes were seen as the epitome of female beauty for decades. The tide is turning now and it all seems to be about exotic looking, petite brunettes.

Well, OP, I'll have you know I am blonde and totally gorgeous so you are wrong.

Well I just skipped to the last page in the thread to see that giant tatrum with lots of caps lock, anyway, I get what OP is saying, I've seen many threads where blonde=gorgeous, and like a PP said, it's usually about a husbands new colleague. I don't think I've ever seen one where she is 'gorgeous, slim, red-haired/brunette/rainbow coloured'

By who? That statement doesn't make sense since thats never been universal.

No you haven't. You may have seen some where people say someone is blonde AND gorgeous, but not that someone is gorgeous simply because they are blonde.

There’s a saying that “blondes have more fun” though.......

Brown eyes and blonde hair DOES look odd to me IN MY
You are odd!
Personally, I think that's a lovely combination. As is red hair a and brown eyes or green eyes or blue eyes or black skin with brown eyes or green eyes or blonde hair with blue eyes, grey eyes or green eyes! BEAUTY IS IN ALL VARIANTS!

Yes. But that still doesn't make OP's point make any sense.

All of the popular 'attractive' celebrities right now are brunette (Michelle Keegan etc) anyway.

The analogy about Megan Fox and Katie Hopkins on a night out is a good one. If someone is attractive they aren't suddenly going to be the less attractive one because Quasimodo comes along wearing a long blonde wig. It's silly to think that.

I’ve seen this other places but I think it’s bullshit. I look better with my natural jet black hair and prefer it on men.

My DD of 17 is blonde but has dyed her hair brunette. she is stunning both ways but apparently brunette is the thing now.

squoosh had to unfortunately I was married to DH at the time, still am, and he was way too young for me anyway

I’d echo Twinkly little laugh.
When I was young, blonde, and pretty = male overload
When older, fat and with hair now almost mousey = not much attention
Older still, and fat BUT hair now silvery blonde = more male attention.
Duh! Enjoy!

I am 56 and was a natural brunette, (blue eyes fair ski) before I started going grey on top and in front. I’ve tried going blonde but it doesn’t suit me, doesn’t go with my skin tone. So I’m still medium brunette with subtle highlights.

blastomama - I don't think I've ever seen one where she is 'gorgeous, slim, red-haired/brunette/rainbow coloured'

Which would imply that quite a lot of women believe that being blonde is a thing that adds to someone's overall attractiveness. Women make a point of it, they don't (usually) if the woman is not blonde. Do you see what I'm saying?

By who? That statement doesn't make sense since thats never been universal.

Media, VS models, porn stars, trophy wives, trophy mistresses etc

Nothing is universal but in general terms the tall leggy blonde trope was a thing for decades whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. As I was saying, the tide has turned and in general, petite 'Latina' looking brunettes seem to be having their day in the sun.

It's not really that deep.

It was a thing for some people, it was not the epitome as you stated. It's not about whether I acknowledge it, its that it simply isn't true in the way you state.

But you clearly can’t read though?

It really isn't that deep you know. I'm writing on a discussion forum not a dissertation. You got the gist of my point, that's the main thing.

I got the gist, I think you were wrong. And also ever so slightly insulting.

Rod Stewart has just phoned to say he will resist any attempts to demote the Leggy Blonde.

I don't think I've ever seen one where she is 'gorgeous, slim, red-haired/brunette/rainbow coloured

I have.

I'm sure some people do think it adds to their attractiveness. None of them think that being blonde turns an ugly person into a gorgeous one.

Of course it's a thing. I largely agree with you @Bugjune, but not so much the blondeness aspect, but that the standards of European beauty being held up as the absolute epitome of beauty universally. But I realise that's not what this thread is about.

Oh do fuck off dear before I give you something to be genuinely insulted by.
