Well, at least this one does. šŸ˜‰ Got my hair re-blonded this past Friday (my last haircut left me with nothing but - {gasp!} - my _natural hair color!_), and boy, do I feel great! Itā€™s amazing how a little cosmetic change can make you feel like you look so much better and, in turn, make you feel better about yourself. Evidently others have noticed it, too. Saturday I had my official ā€œwelcome to the west coastā€ party and monthly [Long Yang Club](http://www.longyangclub.org/sandiego) pot luck, and boy howdy was it fun! 35 people, _waaay_ too much food, and cuties cuties cuties everywhere I turned - and rumor has it, quite a few thought the same of me! šŸ˜ƒ Everybody at work has made nice comments about the new 'doo, plus they all said they missed me when I took the day off Friday to get ready for the party (and, of course, to get my hair done) - always nice to be missed, and nice to know I do a good job thatā€™s appreciated (and if they could afford me, theyā€™d have me for quite some time to come, but thatā€™s their problem). To top it all off, I went to Ralphā€™s supermarket for lunch, and if some hot little Asian lad didnā€™t cruise me _up_ and down. If I hadnā€™t been running late back to the officeā€¦ šŸ˜‰ Have I mentioned how much I love southern California? šŸ˜ƒ Esprix ---

As a fellow bottle blonde, I hear ya! I bleached my hair then dyed it flaming red, and when I bleached out the red, I decided to stay blonde. Course, I also cut off a good six inches or so too, so it was a total new look. ---

**Esprix** , I think you could probably have fun _anywhere_! You just seem like that kind of guy. Thatā€™s a good thing. I envy that in a person. [sub]Crap. Whereā€™s that Seven Deadly Sins thread? I gotta admit to another oneā€¦[/sub] ---

I did a blonde experiment a few years ago. Iā€™ve always had black hair, and I wondered how much that led to peopleā€™s belief that Iā€™m bitchy and hostile. This always came from people who didnā€™t know me, generally in a work or school setting. I bleached out my hair and went blonde. Christ. I had frat boys complimenting me. People were saying how much nicer and friendlier I was. People would come up and talk to me for no reason. It was creepy. I dyed my hair back and again became the bitch that all knew and reviled. Not once did I act any differently. Blondes not only have more fun, they are often treated better and thought of more positively. ---

\ Yupā€¦ still quite blonde. Never noticed that I had any more fun or was treated any better for it. ((Maybe if I go to Japan.)) As a matter of fact Iā€™d trade my thinning blonde hair for some nice thick dark hair anyday. Oh well. Glad the blonde thingā€™s working for you **Esprix**. šŸ™‚ ---

Ah, thatā€™s betterā€¦ šŸ˜‰ **Rasa** , gotta keep 'em guessing, even if itā€™s only your hair color. (Just blonde for me, though.) **jayjay** , there are Asian boys in Pennsylvania - you just have to know where to find them (and I did), but I will grant you there are many, many more here. And southern California has more ā€œtypesā€ than you know, dear heart - youā€™d find a place here, Iā€™m sure. **Arden** , you got me there. When I go places and people say, ā€œHave a good time,ā€ my standard response is, ā€œHoney, Iā€™m my own good time!ā€ usually accompanied by a snap. šŸ˜‰ **Hastur** , 'tis true, Iā€™m afraid, but Iā€™m using it to my advantage. Besides, I prefer my men dark-haired, and they seem to prefer blondes, so it works out for the best, _nā€™est-ce pas?_ **vanilla** , **Jonathan** and **ralf** , as my hairdresser said, ā€œIf anyone asks you if itā€™s natural, tell them it is - you _naturally_ wanted it and you _naturally_ paid for it.ā€ Good enough for me! Frankly, we all know that Iā€™m not coloring my hair, Iā€™m correcting Godā€™s mistake - truly, Iā€™m a blond with the wrong hair color, but Iā€™ve come out! I celebrate my blondness! Blond Pride! Woo hoo! Esprix ---

My original hair color was very dark brown. As my roots have gotten grayer, my dye has gotten lighter. Last weekend I decided to just go for it and bleached my now shoulder lenght hair very light blond. Well not all the red came out so itā€™s sort of a strawberry blond, but still very light. I ran into my aunt today in a store. I made eye contact and nodded and she looked at me but she didnā€™t see me. It wasnā€™t until I said ā€œyou donā€™t know me?ā€ till she realized who I was. I donā€™t know if blonds have more fun yet, but Iā€™m amazed by how many people I know donā€™t seem to recognize me now that Iā€™m just a few shades lighter. I went through every color of brown and red and remained recognizable now itā€™s like Iā€™m wearing a disguise. This could be fun after all. BTW you go Esprix. I think youā€™d be cute no matter what color your hair is. ---

I once did some research into which women actually have the most fun. Blondes do have a lot of fun but are surpassed by semi-nude women and nude women, the latter having the most fun. Also of interest was that bald women have the least amount of fun, a la Sinead Oā€™Conner and that woman from Star Trek 1. Iā€™m pretty sure neither of them has ever laughed. Iā€™m in the middle of a 2 year study on the fun factor of women with blue, purple, pink and green hair. And it looks like blue and pink do have lots of fun perhaps even more the blondes but weā€™ll see. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/blondes-really-do-have-more-fun/63048.md?page=2)
