Fair hair or dark guys, ladies?

Do Women Prefer Fair-Haired or Dark-Haired Men?

Preferences vary widely among women, with some favoring blondes and others preferring brunettes or dark-haired men. Attraction is influenced by individual tastes, cultural factors, and personal experiences. There is no universal rule, and many women find different hair colors appealing for different reasons.

I prefer dark haired men. Married a dark haired man. Divorced a dark haired man. Eye color matters little. I like the warmth of brown, the deep inky chocolate of deeper browns, light as the ocean, blue as storm, green as grass or jade. What is radiating out of them is what is important.
I can look at and appreciate a fair haired man, but for some reason every man I've dated/been involved with has dark hair. From brown to jet black.

Don't care. Just not into gingers. Dark reds and auburns (the "day-walker" look for the south park fans 😛) are OK but I'm not attracted to the super pale, covered-in-freckles, bright orange hair look. It doesn't turn me on. That look also tends to look cuter on girls (sorry ginger dxp boys!).

I suppose this would be my preference if I had to choose:

1.) Dark hair/brunettes
2.) Medium hair/light brown/dirty blonde
3.) Light hair/blonde

Oh, the gingers. As for myself I find the female ginger populations quite sexy actually...apart from Tilda Swinton, she's not even ginger, she's just yellow-ish. Looks like an alien. But Bryce Dallas Howard, yes please. Enter my love nest. Day and night.

My hair-color is undefineable. I'm either light-dark och dark-lightish...or dark-brown. I don't know. My eyes are dark-blue anyway.

every guy i've dated has had dark hair besides my current boyfriend.
eyes have mainly been blue, but some brown too.

purely physically, i'm most attracted to tall guys with dark features.
however, i can see almost anyone as attractive if i get to know them and like their personality.

I tend to give more second looks to guys with dark hair and dark eyes, but it really doesn't matter. It's more about the hair itself: I like it long or longish and healthy-looking.

gdje si ti?! sretan uskrs
i'd say i attract and am attracted to nordic looking man, but maybe it has something to do with genes....no idea.
but it's not a criteria.
if a man is intelligent, polite and intriguing he could be bald for all i care

Sretan uskrs! 😄 This is quite intresting from a cultural point of view, I've had this conversation several times with my friends and it seems that people from the Balkans idealize the Nordic archetype ... while in Sweden they are more into the dark type.

Seems that most perfer dark guys, altough some say that it doesen't matter and obviousely I don't think it really does, but still... could it be that fair-haired guys are out-numbered by dark-haired guys?

Dubrovnik, off topic a little, I see you're from Croatia? We're neighbours? I speak a little Serbian, I think it's similar to Croation.

Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian... it's pretty much the same thing so if anyone asks, you speak all the three languages "a little". Quite a bargain, huh? 😉. Yes I'm born in Croatia but I reside in Sweden these days. So what brings you to ex-Yugoslavia? Where do you reside and where are you from? 🙂

I like dark hair, dark eyes, light skin but NOT GOTH!!! Of course I'm light haired and light-eyed so its prob that 'opposites' thing. I'm currently dating someone way out of my "type" and surprisingly I find it very SEXY! ;P

I dont think hes hot in any of those LOL!

I don't find Brad Pitt all that hot, either, UNLESS it's a movie in which he's younger and sporting the long locks- especially in the last pic with the long locks and the scruff.

Can't say I have EVER found Brad Pitt to be the least bit attractive, he's just ewww in my book! (I don't care for that guy everyone calls McDreamy either, who is that, Matthew McConahey or something like that? Yeah, don't get that one either)
