Is it true? Was Marilyn Monroe right? Are you blond yourself? Do you like blond women? Do you think they're dumb? What else do you have to say about them? I'm naturally blond, but not so much (it's almost a brown tone). I used to light my hair, but now I gave up. EVERYONE turns to me and say I was much better with lighter hair. What should I do? Thank you! ;)

I don't know if you know this but Marilyn Monroe wasn't a natural blonde? She DYED her hair blonde. I am a brunette. Although I was born blonde, my hair got darker as I grew up. I've learned that men don't necessarily have a type. If a man finds a woman attractive, it doesn't matter what hair color she has. Some men may prefer blondes, but it doesn't mean that they won't be attracted to brunettes as well.

Yeah, I know. She was't blond neither dumb actually. She dyed her hair because her manager told her to, something like that (don't know much about her story actually)...

Color your hair honey! I do. I was a blonde all my life until just recently. It started gradually turning brown. I color my hair, and I love it. It gets lighter all the time. I tried to go dark brunett, but neither I nor anyone else cared for it. Everyone likes me as a blonde as well. I bet you want to do it anyway so just color your hair.

Been blonde, the bleach turned me into a blithering idiot. I was quite grateful when my red hair grew back out! Redheads have waaaaay more fun than blondes. Bet.

I wouldn't suggest trying to dye your hair red. To get fake bottled red hair to look natural, a professional would probably charge a friggin' bundle. I can spot a dye jobbed red head a mile a way. lol The thing about natural red hair is no red head has the exact same shade of red all over. I can imagine how much a pro would charge to have to use several different toners to create a natural look.

Maybe if you're a natural, yeah. But I tried once, and I have absolutely no fun. My hair would look awful about 10 days after I dyed it. It's really hard to keep redish tones vivid.

Hi,laridbz! As an Asian girl,I like girl with black hair.But my hair isn't black enough,my hair is natural light brown.So that many people around me have asked me this question:Have you ever dye your hair?(*shock+faint*) If my hair is natural blonde,well,it must be very rare in my country.

I don't really want to say yes but it seems in general they do. A lot of men like it because it was a rarity but not so much anymore. A lot of women are now dying their hair.

There is not such a thing that gentleman like blonde more... It's highly depend on where you are and which kind of people you normally close to. West ppl might prefer blonde but Asian prefer light color.. haha

I hear that a lot. I hear that men really do like women who are blondes, do not know why? I guess they are more fun.

Hahaha! I don't know why either. But it seems that guys are a really shy in this discussion. I think 90% of the people who posted here were women. :)

Sure there are more important things, Myry. And you're from Italy, there are probably lots of blond women around, right? Maybe that's why they're preferred in your country. Well, I don't know, that's why I'm asking you guys! :)

omg you can't be serious.... it's not the hair color, it's how you look in it, truthfully, every natural blonde (excluding one or 2) look good with it, but their dumber than a doornail, that said, sometimes, it's just a show, and sometimes they really are smart, it's just this stereotype that people hear from the time they were knee high to a grasshopper, and they conform to it, having *Blonde Moments* and such. far as i'm concerned, do what you want, what ever color you look best with, that's the one you should go with, otherwise there's not much i or anyone can say. Except for preference that is....

I do have a soft spot for blondes and I am attracted to them. I am not sure why. Perhaps their personality is less gloomy than those from other women. Blondes always seem to be ready to smile. They seem to live to have fun... which is something I highly approve off. Perhaps... they did earn their nick name of "dumb blonde" because they don't take life seriously. I was with a blonde for 14 years... and while she was not the smartest person in the world... she was not anymore dumb than any other woman. She knew what she wanted and made sure she got it. I think that it is not men who have accused blondes to be dumb. But other women who were jealous of blondes having all the fun.

First male reply, and a serious candidate for the best response... :)

To me they are just women. Hair color can be dyed, and there are sexy people who are not blonde. I personally think blonde hair is better on women than men, I don't know why.

I know some really cute blond men! :) The thing is, women look good with dyed hair, men don't. So, they gotta be naturally blond.

I think everyone has their own taste that appeals to them. I do not feel blondes have it better or are more preffered. I am brunette/redhead. Depends on the sun and how much time I spend in it. My sisters all have dark brown and black hair, and we never had any hint of anyone preferring blondes. Maybe it was a sexist thing and using hari as the scapegoat? I do not know. I think everyone can be preffered by someone from their personality not their hair. I have highlighted my hair so light it came out with streaks of blondes. BUt I was still the same person and got the same responses. I think the person makes the hair not the other way around.

Ridiculous. I'm a brunette, and I come from a country where everyone is naturally raven-haired. Guys like good-looking girls period. It doesn't matter what hair color you have.

Hhmm... Don't you think it's also cultural? Sure guys like good looking girls, but everyone has a favorite type, I think...

personally im a brunette, i dont think blondes or dumb i just think some blondes ( not all) play on it to get what they want which is why over the years people started to say they were dumb. We are all the same no matter what couler our hair is at the end of the day!

I went blond once and didnt have any more fun that when I am a auburn haired person. People used to go blond for it was a fad or they spent so much time at the beach their hiar got bleach out by the sun. Just do your hair they way you feel comfortable with. Its not how people see you but how you look at yourself that counts.

1) Is it true? I don't think so 2) Was Marilyn Monroe right ? No 3) Am I blond? No 4) Do I like blond women? Yes but I like black-haired women very much as well 5) Do I think they're dumb ? No No No 6) What else do i say about them ? They are like other women, a beautiful smart women could be black , white, blond ... being beautiful is got nothin 2 do with hair color basically, i mean color could add 2 ur beauty but it isn't the main thing. 7) What should u do ? Choose the color u feel it is you. Brown tone is real cool :D Thank you ......

No. I am a natural blonde but I've always hated it (and by natural blonde i mean close to platinum naturally) and I've been dying it for the past 12 years all sorts of colors. Personally I'm always attracted to dark haired dark eyed guys...and not the blonde hair blue eye cliche. I also find girls to be prettier when they have darker hair too. I think everyone has a preference and then sometimes they have no preference. If you liked yourself with lighter hair and you want to spend the time and money to do it again, go for it. Don't do it because other people said to.

I am very blonde by nature. This should be a very interesting thread. I don't know about guys prefering blondes but I do know they prefer to pick on us. I have tried to darken my hair to no avail. It usually lasts a couple of days before my blonde roots begin shining thru. Getting some grays now so maybe i'll be looked at as wiser??
