[QUOTE=pbbth] So, what, he needs pictures of my eyebrows? [/QUOTE] No good! Mine are dyed! If they weren’t, they’d be blonde and silly looking. I have the pale pale skin with light freckles. Besides which, Scuba Ben is a gentleman and would never be so rude as to ask for - erm - ‘porn’ proof. I am a ‘ginger’ and I’m also not so ugly. ---

[QUOTE=nashiitashii] I’m a brunette with some recessive redhead going on. Dark brown hair + enough sunlight = lots and lots of red highlights. It runs in the family, though; many of my relatives on my mom’s side have red or reddish hair, and my blonde brother has a red beard when it grows out. . [/QUOTE] This is me and my family too. I tease my uncle constantly about his grey hair and red facial scruff. My hair is brown, but several people (who have only seen me in the bright sunlight) think I’m a redhead. I like it! ---

[QUOTE=sturmhauke] Sorry, I got you confused with another Doper. alice\_in\_wonderland I think. [/QUOTE] I was sort of concerned that you had been hiding in my bathroom and taking pictures. For ‘proof’. For the record, Alice’s hair colour and mine are remarkably similar. ---

Hmm. I’d better find me a redhead now, before the supply goes down and the price goes up. ---

I mentioned this to my red-headed boss this morning. She nearly killed me. Good thing we’re short-handed right now or she probably would have. ---

I have known redheads who were seeking red-headed mates, with the express intent of making red-headed babies. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/goodbye-redheads-they-could-be-extinct-within-100-years/416584.md?page=3)
