What type do you prefer, this can apply to women also, Blonde or Brunette For me personally, I prefer Brunettes, they just seem to be more attractive to me more than Blondes (That doesn’t make me weird does it? Because I’ve said this before and it raised a few eyebrows) Women and Men: What do you prefer? ---

all things being equal brunette, but there’s a lot of room between “she’s a hottie” and “I wouldn’t kick her out of bed” for blondes to make the cut. ---

No preference, here… I’ve been wildly attracted to men of all different haircolors & styles. Hooray for variety! ---

I prefer a woman with longish curly strawberry blonde hair on her head and bald down there. Second choice would be a long-straight brunette with blond highlights who is also bald down there. Third choice would have to be a natural redhead with a natural red mohawk, down there (so I’d know she’s a natural redhead, of course). Why isn’t there a french word for redhead? Wouldn’t it be something like rouge-tete? ---

I’ve got a dirty blond, does that count? Though red has always fascinated me. ---

Brown, red, black, blonde. In that order. ---

Although, when Jennifer Garner sported blue hair in Alias, I was damn excited. Put me down for blue if I get a fantasy wish. ---

Gray, brunette, or bald. A combination of bald/gray or bald/brunette seems to be my preference. ---

Throughout high school, the only girls I dated were blonde. The odd thing is that I never consciously realized this until I was married (to a blonde.) ---

Thanks, eunoia. It has been literally 20 years since my HS French and I can’t do much more than count to ten anymore. Une rousse sounds familiar now. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-you-chose-blonde-or-brunette/154620.md?page=2)
