Boris. Would everyone love him if he was not blonde?

Looking at our current PM, it occurred to me that he might not be so appealing to us if he had dark hair? Would he be viewed as a possible case of self neglect requiring assistance rather than the bouncy Labrador he is seen as?

@FreedomFaith

I can see what you mean in a way op. Before he became prime minister, loads of people said he looks like fun, a bit of a laugh and would be cool to hang out with. But I think it's more his manner than his hair colour, it tends to be just women who are stereotyped based on their hair colour. I mean people still, for some reason, called him intelligent. They don't often use that word to describe blonde women.

Of course he's not intelligent at all, but we are now stuck with him thanks to those who assumed he was.

Oh I think he is reasonably intelligent. He plays up to the stereotype of being bit of a buffoon IMO.

Let me think. No. I'd still think he was a massive twat. HTH.

Gosh, they look like a bunch of hillbillies...with incest and serial killing rife..

@lynntheyresexswappers

Ermm, what?! I don't think anyone has looked at him and thought, "the country is in ruins, he's a lying, bumbling twat, but it's ok because he has shit yellow hair".

One of the most ludicrous things I've heard on here, and that really is saying something.

totally agree with you
MojoDaysxx · 23/12/2021 13:58

The mans a disaster.

CremeEggThief · 23/12/2021 13:59

I'd hate him no matter what tbh. Tony Blair, Boris Johnson and Donald Trump are 3 people I hate and will never ever win with me. Ever. They always get it wrong no matter what.

sparklefarts · 23/12/2021 14:03

Er you what now?

Boris = cunt however he looks

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 23/12/2021 14:06

Wish they'd left him stuck on that zip wire

It would take more than a change of hair colour to make Boris more appealing to me , I find him repulsive in every way. I honestly can't fathom who voted for him as I know no one who likes him.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/12/2021 14:20

Also, he doesn't just happen to be a slob, disorganised, lovable rogue etc. It's all carefully cultivated and choreographed. This is an enlightening article from Jeremy Vine, who observed it at close quarters. Twice.

I’ve never understand the supposed societal preference for blondes anyway, but aside from that he’s a fucking cunt and an incompetent one at that.

bilbodog · 23/12/2021 14:22

Im reminded of donald trump - i shall say no more…….

LaQuern · 23/12/2021 14:25

I wouldn't love him full stop as he's a lying cunt.

Karmagoat · 23/12/2021 14:33

I'd still think he was a prize cunt, whatever hair colour he had.

TrishM80 · 23/12/2021 14:36

I never fell for the walking toilet brush look in the first place.

Twinstudy · 23/12/2021 14:38

He could look like Keanu Reeves and still not be appealing. Because he'd still be a complete cunt.

Also I don't know anyone who loves him. Or likes him even

grapewine · 23/12/2021 14:41

Yeah. That's why people don't like him. His hair Hmm

Agree. But his hair does induce rage in me. It's not the hair itself, it's that he wears it like that deliberately. Like he's a so quirky and hilarious. Prick.

@JaniieJones - MSM doing a great job on you 👏

Bitofachinwag · 23/12/2021 14:43

Labradors come in different colours, don't they?

AuntyBumBum · 23/12/2021 14:45

No I really wouldn't like him at all if he had dark hair.

5thHelena · 23/12/2021 14:47

Wow 'appealing to US?' Have you been on the sauce??

StorminaBcup · 23/12/2021 14:48

I think you’re right OP…an nice Elvis style quiff for Boris would make us all forget what an utter Smunt he is Hmm

Are you after an image makeover Carrie OP?
