what is the big deal about having blond hair and blue eyes?

I definitely agree. I wish the standards for women weren't so harsh! As for blonde hair, blue eyes.. my dad has both and says that it's pretty rare--and he doesn't understand why it's such a big deal. Me, I have naturally dark brown hair, and when my hair isn't dyed, I get really light brown and blonde highlights from the sun! I have dyed my hair blonde before, and I kinda liked it, but practically speaking the only reason I've ever wished I had natural blonde hair was so it was easier to dye it with temporary colors... every time I want to dye my hair pink or red or something I've had to bleach out my hair. But yea, other than that--I personally don't understand the appeal either--I like blonde guys, but I also like dark hair, it really depends on how it all goes together. As for the proportions, well, I think it has to do with the obsession of the barbie doll physique. I mean, a 24 waist is so not realistic! I have a friend who is naturally underweight, probably average height, and very skinny--and I don't think she even has a 24 inch waist, and I can guarantee you that she doesn't have no 36 inch chest! The only way anyone possibly has that figure is well, maybe they are a freak of nature, but not likely.. but more likely, they have had a lot of plastic surgery, like implants and lipo only in the waist. I would say the only way to have a 24 inch waist is starvation, but then I don't think they could keep curvy hips. Then there is also the corset, that gives an illusion of a tiny waist. I definitely share your feelings on the standards! I do think guys have *some* pressure, personally, I don't care about the things people want--like tall, dark and handsome... I typically like average and cute.. LOL The only real hard standards I have are hair and facial features, that is what I notice first, other than that, I am a bit of a "rebel" I am not attracted to huge muscles or "six packs". But overall, I don't think guys are held to such stringent standards as females. Just watch tv, there are so many shows where you see a "hot" wife and overweight husband.. but have you ever seen it the other way around? I never have! LOL I tend to feel like women are more likely to compromise their standards more than guys are. Like I said, how many "unattractive" women have you seen with "hot" men? Compare that with the not so attractive men, or even older men who hook up with 20 year old "hotties". LOL Anyway.. I went off on a rant a little, but that happens when I talk about this stuff. LOL It really does anger me how shallow our society is. I really don't have a problem with people having standards--I have my own that I would never compromise, but being that in this society it's so lopsided, being that women have to look perfect all the time to be considered attractive, and men seem to get away with more. :/

I guess it is a preconception that we get from being exposed to pictures of blondes with blue eyes in the media and print. So it is not surprising that we have this predefinition of blondes being pretty with blue eyes. In fact, on the print media or on TV, you rarely see a blonde model that is not blue eyed. So it is natural to think that blonds have blue eyes. No need to be angry over it. If people think your eyes are blue, let them be then. Once cannot deny that blonds with blue eyes makes for pretty eye candy. But there are also other combinations that are pretty as well. Brunette with green eyes. Red heads with green eyes. Heck, even brunettes with light brown or dark brown eyes are pretty. What makes a person pretty is not much about the color of the hair or the eyes. It is how he or she carries himself or herself. With confidence, people will then to pay more attention to you, thus realizing the beauty that you exlude. Not all beauty have to be 36/24/36. Some other combinations are pretty too. Take for example, Jennifer Lopez. She is definitely not a 36/24/36. Yet people find her pretty. Neither is she a blonde with blue eyes. Take for example, Nicole Kidman, she is also not 36/24/36. But she exludes a charm when people look at her. How about Halle Berry? She is one pretty lady to behold as well. Or Lucy Liu? Terry Hatcher? Eva Longoria? I am sure if I really sit down to name names, the list would be very long! So, fret not if people mistook your eyes to be blue. It is the preconception that we are brought up with that makes people see things the way they want to. Blonde with gray-green eyes are pretty too!

again it goes back to blue eyes and blonde hair being rarer, so it is considered more beautiful, just like with the eyes, a blonde and a brown haired person has a baby the brown hair is the dominant gene, but blonde hair does come out more often than blue eyes, it is just stupid blondes are no more better looking than brunettes, but have you ever noticed how so many women dye their hair blonde? lol

I pretty much always preferred blond hair and blue eyes. It's probably due to the fact that when I was growing up there was a lot of dolls, such as Barbie, that had blond hair and blue eyes. Also, I have brunette hair and brown eyes and am attracted to the opposite. In fact my husband has blond hair and blue eyes. Like me, he's attracted to the opposite and likes women with dark colored hair such as mine. So we are a perfect match! LOL But all in all, no it shouldn't matter what color a person's hair or eye color is.

Im confused as why you said that you dont really hear standards for beauty other than tall, dark and handsome. They have them. This is just like the whole blonde hair, blue eyed thing. Im not sure why it is mentioned more in terms of what is attractive but what you have to remember is that the whole blonde hair, blue eyes thing is just a general term. Different people find different things attractive. Some men like blonde hair, blue eyes and some prefer a more darker, exotic look to women. I think some women with blonde hair and blue eyes look nice and some with dark hair and dark eyes look nice. It really does not matter but some do have a preference I guess. It is like when men go on about boobs. It happens a lot on the internet especially where there will be a photo of a girl on a site like Myspace and if she is showing cleavage most of the comments will tell her how beautiful she is but I bet if many of those men saw her in the street with her cdhest covered they would not look twice.

You remind of my sister! Our Dad had blonde hair and grey eyes and she berrated anyone who said his eyes were blue. Our mom had black hair and brown eyes, I inherited black hair hair eyes. My sister has blond hair and Blue eyes would you believe. You make a very powerful point nevertheless.

it's biological. blue eye colour genes and blonde hair colour genes are recessive, so in choosing a mate with these traits, a male can pass on more of his own traits into the next generation. there is also a good chance that other biological traits will be recessive genes too. when you look at most things widely considered to be attractive, most relate to health, wealth, fertility or genetics. like a small waist, being a sign of fertility. or being slim being a sign of health (although in the past, when food was scarcer, to be overweight was a sign of wealth, and therefore considered attractive, just as tanned skin used to be a sign of manual outdoor work, so pale skin was considered more attractive) as it happens I'm a blue eyed blonde. thank goodness for hair dye. I much prefer to have dark hair, it makes more of my eyes.
