Curious how people feel about red heads.

Are you attracted to them? What attracts you?

Unattracted? What do you find unattractive?

Would you date a redhead?

And what stereotypes do you see applied to redheads?

And I think it's important to state whether you are male or female because I think redheaded men have a harder time of it than the women.

And if you're a red head, how do you feel about it?

I'm a red head too. I love it.
The things I hated growing up were that it was different (now I like that it is) and that I couldn't go swimming for long without getting sunburned (no matter how much high SPF sunscreen I wore).
And guys "prove you're a natural red head" (rolls eyes).

Now that I'm older, I still love it. Only problem is instead of going grey, red heads hair just fades out. So we've (my daughter is a hair dresser) been dying it, trying to find the original color and the red dye fades out fast too. lol!

I have dated another red head before. Everyone thought we were siblings. lol!

And the stereotypes -
"red on the head...hot in bed" - kinda like that one. lol!
red headed temper - uhmmm....maybe, but I've got to be really pissed
Blondes may have more fun, but red heads get to go everywhere - that one's fun

As far as stereotypes go, I like that it gives me an excuse for my crazy when I have to go there. lol!

They're fine...they're not any better or worse than other hair colors.

But LOL @ people posting fake ass cosplay dye jobs and trying to pass them off as redheads.

Gingers tend to have freckles more often than blondes and brunettes and I find that little splash of em on their face and body appealing.

Natural body glitter I guess....

I have some on my shoulders. I don't know when I got them though.

Rick Astley!!! lol "never gonna give you up!"

you'd have to check down there if they are truly red headed. the women who are red headed are really striking. They usually get "myths" surrounding them, like irish myths that they're so witchy. famous classical artists used to paint lots of red heads too.

I can be as attracted to men with red hair as other hair colours. But I don't know many men with red hair.

My first crush in elementary school, grade one, was on a boy with red hair. I don't remember much about him, except that he was a lot taller than me and he smiled in a way that made me feel very calm and happy.

Yes I would date a red haired man if there was enough in common and high physical attraction.

Stereotypes I often hear are about "fiery" tempers and high sex drives. I've only known one red haired male, and one female, who fit the fiery temper stereotype. Can't comment on higher sex drive.

A male celebrity with natural red hair (but so often it's dyed something else for film roles) I find very attractive is Ewan McGregor.

I'm a redhead. Never been attracted to fellow gingers (I don't think it looks that good on guys, sorry).

I've never been bullied because of my hair colour. If anything, it gets me compliments. When I was younger though kids would joke about how they burned gingers in the Middle Ages, but then again my birthday is on Halloween so of course I'm a witch haha 😄
