Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives.
It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes.
I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her.
I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than not, it's a blonde bombshell type like Pamela Anderson.
Unfortunately, this stereotype is well ingrained in the minds of many men. It is quite silly, if you think about it. It's like saying that women find men with blue eyes to have a better sense of humor than those with dark hair. Truth be told, it's just as easy to meet a blonde drug dealer or kleptomaniac as it as a brunette one.
Why use hair color of all things to gauge your marriage prospects with someone else? Instead, people should be considering those things that really matter: personality, economic status, and so on. It's because of baseless assessments like this that so many of us end up in ill-fated relationships and marrying the wrong people.
I think that saying someone's hair color makes her more or less reliable is nothing short of inane.
What do you think? Do you feel it's ridiculous so many men think brunettes make better wives?
