Are Redheads Better?

I've recently become a redhead and have notice a 50% increase in Male Attention since changing. Anyone have a preference or similar story? (LJ excepting)

Love as in "want to have sex with", or love as in "I've a lot of relatives with red hair and I love them in a platonic way."

Why not post a before and after picture so we can judge.


BTW Lauren Holly as a redhead and a blonde

THEN i would be able to host a hoe-down!!

All I'm gonna say to that is, if you did have a man, you might STILL not have any computer savvy available!

Hmmm...I generally prefer dark hair, but I could go for a redhead.

Mrs. Elspode is what I like to refer to as a "redhead by choice" (or what she refers to as "the rug not matching the curtains, which is actually much funnier). I am the person who dyes her hair, and by golly, I love it! I've always been a major redhead fan, in fact. Also, there seem to be a lot of witches who are either redheads by nature or choice, so that works out well!

Yeah, guys like redheads, Bri. Let us know when it pays off?

For the record, redheads are my kryptonite, too. Have been since I started paying attention to such things (around age 12). There's no logic, there's no explanation, they just really blow my mind.

Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but Real Guys Like Redheads

I tried the redhead thing for a while, and it was great fun! People (men) did treat me differently as a redhead. Complete strangers would walk up to me on the street and start talking about redheads. Here's a little redhead joke:
The mating call of the blond: "Hi, I'm blond!"
The mating call of the brunette: "Have all the blonds left yet?"
The mating call of the redhead: "Next!"

So.......is the prejudice against redheads just an English thang? Being a redheaded child is up there with eczema, acne and smelling of wee when it comes to bullying in an English school

In fact I had a friend a few years ago who was ....well racist, not to put too fine a point on it. He used to say "I'd shag a black bird before I'd shag a ginger " .....since he was living on and off with a half Jamaican lass at the time, I took him at his word.

I think red can look amazing, depending on the shade. Full on ginger though looks better on a woman :P

I suspect it is more English than American. I remember a red haired girl in my first or second grade class who got a lot of bullying, but it was on account of the fact that she was the tallest child in the class, not so much her red hair. She probably got the last laugh on us all and grew up to be a gorgeous red head with legs that wouldn't stop and men fainting in her path. Here in the States, I'd say that red heads are considered pretty sexy and intriguing.
