It just seems wrong somehow. Gotta a date tomorrow with a guy who has the exact same hair color as me and it feels kinda strange. Incestuous even. So, what’s your vote?
I dated another redhead for over a year. She was crazy. Which, as far as I know, had less to do with her being a redhead than it had with her simply being crazy.
Also, your kids might come out clear.
no! it is an unwritten, unspoken rule. nothing good can come from it. and there may be clashing shades of red involved.
i’ve noticed inter-red (natural colour) dating/living together/married rarely happens. there are quite a few reds in my 'hood (heavily irish) they all have other hair colour loves.
sometimes there may be helped red and natural red couples.
Absolutely not. Also, blue-eyed people should be forced to mate only with green-eyed people, and anyone with freckles should be taken out back and shot in the interest of applied eugenics. Also, anyone who listens to Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles output should be sentenced to public service until they get right with the deity of their choice.
Other than that, I can’t say that I have any strongly held opinions on the issue.

Well, I can get behind your last statement. Because it’s for their own good.
See, that’s kinda how I feel. And I mentioned to this guy that it also might lead to a reversal of the laws of physics and possibly some sort of world-ending matter/anti-matter type explosion.*
*To which he replied that because I’m a redhead, I have no soul and so shouldn’t care. :dubious:
No! They should date me instead!

I dated a redhead once. People mistook us for brother and sister. That was icky.
That said, if I were single and younger I’d go out with Eric Stoltz , Damian Lewis, or Michael C. Hall any old day.
(Deleted. Double post.)
What pinkfreud said. I (natural redhead) dated a (natural redhead) guy once and every single damn time we went out to dinner the waitstaff asked if he was my brother or my cousin. Tremendously annoying.
For some reason, guys don’t seem to fare as well, being ginger. A lot of redheaded guys just look goofy. Redheaded girls rarely do – if anything, being a redhead seems to make up for other things that might have goofy otherwise. I’m in the US, though, and I understand that in the UK it’s reasonably common to get picked on for being a redhead in the first place, so we’re probably an anomaly…
Harumph. No more chocolate from me…
Our across the street neighbors when my daughter was born were both redheads…and the same shade of red…the orange-y one. And all five of their kids had the same hair color. I never once considered incest…just figured that picked-on people tend to seek each other out! They were certainly adorable together, and never had to wear matching t-shirts at amusement parks to pick each other out in the crowd…
Redheads should date me (guests to the end of the line, Eben.
Actually, a disproportionate amount of my ex-girlfriends were redhead. I don’t know what it was about me that attracted redheads. Of course, I was also attracted to redheads, but I was also attracted to brunettes, blondes, etc. Actually, I was pretty much attracted to anything female and breathing. But I digress…
100% of my redheaded ex-girlfriends were crazy, in one way or another (discounting the craziness of choosing to date me). I’ll disagree with Skip, and say that hair color does have something to do with it.
As a natural red head I can say that I wouldn’t mind dating a guy with red hair, or any other colored hair for that matter! My only requirements are that you are sexy and a responsible adult.
…gosh, if a date said that to me, I think I’d have to marry him.
I’ve never dated another redhead, as I tend to be strongly attracted to men of a far darker variety. Plus, I think it’s useful to spread the recessive genes out a bit. This way, we’ll be a pleasant surprise a few generations down the road. There’s always something startling to me about an entire family of redheads. I think we’re a naturally solitary species.
No, they should…
Damn you, Eben! Beaten to the punch, and by a…
Damn you, D_Odds!
It’s okay, but no sex, you might catch fire.
No. Especially if said redhead has a redhead brother like I do. It’s not good when people can’t tell your boyfriend from your brother. Like CaerieD, I’m almost always attracted to guys with very dark hair, black especially. Blond guys rarely, redheads never.
Of course the ickiness of dating another redhead is entirely the fault of all the stupid blond/e and dark-haired people who grew up asking us “So and so has red hair too, are you siblings?” every time they saw another redhead. No wonder most of us are turned off by the thought of dating other redheads! You know, I honestly think the most unrealistic part of the Harry Potter books is that both of Ron’s parents have red hair. I don’t think JK grew up with any redheads.
So, tremor, does this mean, in fact, that you are a cute single redhead?
Do you tolerate blond guys? We could create an unholy monstrous crossbreed!
According to Trofirm Lysenko, there is a 25% chance that the offspring of two redheads is an infrared. Good luck.
