  • videoclipsmiami, on 07/09/2008, -1/+9Great article! But with todays hair treatments what you see is not always what you get.
  • BlackOp, on 07/09/2008, -2/+18I really prefer brunettes.
  • jazumin80, on 07/09/2008, -1/+7I was working up a head of steam to comment here (i'm a brunette) but you know... the article makes some sense. To each their own (i hope)

    So evolution says Scarlett Johanssen trumps Jessica Alba? LOL
    • MadOgre, on 07/09/2008, -2/+1You make a good point there... because she does.
      Yes, I'm a pig.
  • heylookltsme, on 07/09/2008, -8/+1Buried because evolutionary psychology is bogus.
  • airencracken, on 07/09/2008, -3/+5Explain my preference for Asain women then.
  • davidhallstrom, on 07/09/2008, -3/+9I prefer brunettes.
  • MadOgre, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8You know, I'm just not convinced. We need more photos. Sampling... taste tests.
    • fluidfoundation, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2you wanna check the oil while your at it there, pal? lol
  • wonderbriefs, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2I don't really buy it. I've always had a thing for brunettes. I know some cute blondes, but I've never preferred them.
    • fluidfoundation, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1blonde = boring to look at.
      • BoonTobias, on 07/09/2008, -3/+1*****
      • wonderbriefs, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2@BoonTobias, I'm blonde, my sisters are all blonde, so maybe it's natural that I prefer someone who doesn't look like they could be a family member?
      • fluidfoundation, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1well put! but here in the south, thats always a possibility.
  • UnMannedMission, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Maybe it's just me, but there is nothing sexier than brunette almost jet black hair with light eyes combo.
  • RoboCafaz, on 07/09/2008, -2/+6I'm quite partial to redheads.
    • fluidfoundation, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3Out of all the women I dated, redheads are by far the bust. Match that with some green eyes.... whew... I'm sold.

      Generally the best in bed as well.
      • ssn697, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3"Out of all the women I dated, redheads are by far the bust."

        Your Freudian slip is showing...
      • fluidfoundation, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Woospie!!
    • vault, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3redheads > brunettes > blondes
  • Haoie, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Each to his or her own.

    Stating that gentlement prefer blondes is like stating all blondes are ditzy airheads.
  • vasconcj, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1here, here. I'm a fan of blondes!
    • jstohler, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Of course you are -- you can't even spell "hear hear" correctly.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3I would actually prefer a redhead.

    (but I'm blond myself, so maybe I'm just looking for some genetic diversity)
  • blindhammer, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1I prefer brunettes, redheads, black hair, pink hair, purple hair and green hair over blond hair. But, hey, that's just me.
  • papanel, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0I prefer hairless!
  • rob89, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1no preference here !!!
  • ssn697, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3My favorite hair color on women is smart, funny, self-confident...
  • Modestexcuse, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1I definitely prefer a brunette, hands down.

    I see a brunettes often times more attractive because of their (often times) brown eyes. There is something about brown eyes with a genuine smile that drives me crazy :)
  • DrummerAndrew, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1I've come up with this: Blondes are more immediately attractive to me. But, when I see a Brunette I like, the attraction is much stronger and much deeper. Redheads are 50/50, though I do start thinking kinkier thoughts with a hot redhead than with a hot blonde. I see redheads as more playful for some reason. All in all, I like women best.
