We get it though. With Lorelei Lee played by the blonde Marilyn Monroe, even a die-hard brunette lover would swoon. While we've been told men love blondes, most of us have turned the other cheek, considering it just a stereotype.
Who would have thought that science actually proved this expression to be true? In a study conducted by The Journal of Social Psychology , men were showed pictures of women with different hair colors and were asked to rate them on attractiveness, health, dating potential, and parenting ability. The findings proved that men viewed the women with light hair to be more attractive, have better health, and appear more youthful. The study also showed that men base complex relationship decisions on a woman's appearance.
So, yes, ladies! Guys are judging your looks to decide whether or not you are a good life partner. If you thought all the time spent visiting the salon to get that luscious light hue or shopping for the perfect outfit went unnoticed, you were wrong all along. Perhaps you can brush off that blondes have more fun, but what if we told you they make more dough?
A study conducted in by the Queensland University of Technology examined 13, Caucasian women and led to one eye-opening conclusion — blonde women get paid more via Forbes.
And it wasn't just a dollar more here and there. Their experiment concluded that blonde women make 7 percent more income. This isn't the only study that proved this phenomenon.
An experiment performed by Cornell University had waitresses complete an online survey about their physical characteristics, self-perceptions, and tip income. The findings concluded that blondes accrued more income than their red-headed, brunette, or black-haired counterparts. But it doesn't stop there. Even in a different day study , dark-haired participants were asked to change their hair color and record their tips in a real work-like setting.
The women received significantly more tips while blonde. Blondes really do have more funds! Sex is an important part of a relationship and can help deepen the connection between two people. You can learn a lot about yourself through your sex life and whether you explore new things or stick to the same ol' routine.
But did you know that your hair color has an influence over your romantic life? In a survey of 1, men via the Daily Mail , women with blonde hair were said to be the best in bed.

A separate study, conducted by Viren Swami and Seishin Berrett, could provide further information on the topic. The first study employed a female test subject who sat in nightclubs over the course of a few weeks.
Results showed she was approached most frequently under the blonde hair condition. Compared to the 42 men who approached her while brunette, 60 men expressed interest in her while blonde. After simply comparing these two statistics, and applying a little bit of common sense, one would assume men found her more attractive while blonde; however, that might not be the case.
But in some parts of the world, such as central Africa, mutations that result in albinism or a significant depigmentation of a baby can provoke fear and superstition and sometimes even infanticide. Colour mutations can only proliferate in populations if they are seen as desirable and are sexually selected for.
There are higher numbers of females born blonde than males and retention of blonde hair into adulthood is a sexually selected indicator of fitness in females. Another possible reason for Nordic gentlemen preferring blondes is to assure their paternity.
The genes for blue eyes and blonde hair are recessive, meaning both parents must have the genes for them to be expressed in their offspring. A blue-eyed male with a brown-eyed mate would not have the same assurance the resulting brown-eyed infant was his child and therefore worthy of a slice of the mammoth he risked his life trapping and slaughtering and then spent days dragging back across miles of icy tundra.
This would also help to explain the existence of blond males. Blond hair in males does not correlate with oestrogen levels as it does in females and blond hair in males is not a known indicator of fitness as it is in females. In addition, females don't select for physical appearance to the degree that men do. For a female to choose a blond male he must be able to deliver resources mammoth , as his blond hair alone is not enough to turn her on.
Blondes do not seem to have lost any of their popularity since the end of the last ice age. Research suggests that blondes feature more often as Playboy centerfolds than they do in women's magazines, and the percentage of blondes in each type of magazine exceeds the base rate of blondes in the normal population.
