| Oh, it seems you are of interest to many people. At least you're secure enough to post your picture. Me? I'd rather post one from when I was, say - 25 (I did look hot then). After popping out a couple of kids, I'd have to post a neck-up shot.  Quote: |

I was blonde when I was younger. I'll never live it down, but I do sometimes still have fun.

On the other hand, blondes are often striking, especially platinum blondes, and I wonder if this might be from visual contrast to the environment, or a first-glance-freshness sort of thing. (sorry to be so academic about it) Hmmm, better stop here...

| I've never been a blonde and I always have fun.
I do know though, that men faint at the mere thought of a blonde from Sweden! That's just right-off a given!

Yeah, call it what you will, but there's definitely a mystique about it. Any of you men care to share your theories? (And why aren't there more of your pictures?)

It ends up looking fairly nasty especially with dark brown/black eyebrows
Now when you find a true blonde... that's a different story.

That being said, I'm not going to hold a woman's hair color against her. As long as she promises to hold her hair color against me! mmmmmm smells good...

| I definitely prefer dark hair and eyes. Blond hair and blue eyes? Meh. I lived in North Dakota for five years; I've seen enough blond-haired blue-eyed Scandinavian farm girls.
Why do people always post pictures of themselves fencing? It's not like you could see anything; they're all covered up anyway - it's about as useful as this picture of me. Gee, aren't I good-looking? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...even/MOPP4.jpg | |

| I've actually always preferred brunettes. It frames the face better and allows attention to be drawn to attractive facial features, especially the eyes. A rich brunette hair color goes well with many shades of eye color.
