A reader wrote in asking me why most men are "fascinated" with redheads. In this instance, I think "fascinated" is a nice way of saying "obsessed." She admitted to being a redhead, and, therefore, the object of such ardor. Columnist suggests attraction to redheads may be because they are a genetic rarity.
She's asked these men why they are so drawn to the crimson-haired, and the best she ever got out of them was "Redheads iz just hawt, yo!" This is true, but it is not the whole truth.
I wouldn't say most men love redheads. A sizable majority, sure. And those men who love redheads likely focus on them because of their genetic rarity. The universe makes only so many redheads, and so it makes an impression when a man is beauty-napalmed by one.
I have had a lifelong attraction to redheads: their alabaster skin, constellations of freckles, and combustible temperaments. This is an aberrant preoccupation.
Hair color is neither a dealmaker nor dealbreaker. I've probably dated 50 percent brunettes, 50 percent blonds. I love both, and I've never encountered the usual stereotypes affixed to their hair tones.
The blonds I've dated have never been stupid or vapid. In fact, many have been bookish and wickedly funny. Likewise, my brunette girlfriends have defied the standard definitions.
In my experience, blonds don't have any more fun than brunettes. The women who have the most fun are those women who give themselves permission to have fun.
So, how do I explain a personal craving for flame brains? I could blame biology, how it makes a certain evolutionary logic that Man would pursue those women who, by virtue of a few mutated chromosomes, stand out from the crowd.

Well, ax murders and redheads m-a-y just fit an archetype. ;D
LOL! Can’t help it.
Like tinnitus...it’s an infliction I am forced to live with. .
LOL - Good story! (And good humor there too.)
First go to photobucket or some other free site that let’s you store pictures. Get an account, upload your pictures to the account and then post them to FR. Google HTML to find the correct syntax for posting a picture from photobucket or some other site. It is actually pretty easy to do once you have a website to store your pictures.
I’m sure this is a *below-the-fold* article ...LOL
Reds are last on my list.
Mediterranean region woman are my first choice. Iranian women are extremely attractive too.
when I think of the redheads I’ve dated, two words come to mind... both of which would offend the delicate sensibilities of our more gentle readers.
