IT really is a case of blonde ambition. Women with fair hair are more aggressive and determined to get their own way than brunettes or redheads, according to a study by the University of California.
Researchers claim that blondes are more likely to display a “warlike” streak because they attract more attention than other women and are used to getting their own way — the so-called “princess effect”.
Even those who dye their hair blonde quickly take on these attributes, experts found.
The study could cast fresh light on the ability of Joanna Lumley, the actress and former model, to pummel ministers into giving all Gurkha veterans the right to settle in the UK.
It may also help to explain the success of the lead character in Legally Blonde, the hit West End musical based on a film starring Reese Witherspoon, who forces her way to the top of law school despite being perceived as ditzy.
The findings about aggression are contained in research by the University of California, Santa Barbara, to discover whether women who are judged more attractive than others are also more likely to lose their tempers to get what they want.
“We expected blondes to feel more entitled than other young women — this is southern California, the natural habitat of the privileged blonde,” said Aaron Sell, who led the study which has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. “What we did not expect to find was how much more warlike they are than their peers on campus.”

Cute but deadly.
Um, Legally Blonde was just a movie.......It doesn’t prove anything.
Must have more proof. Add some more pictures and then I will give my expert opinion.
Who paid for this study. This manure doesn’t belong on FR.

Maybe not, but this thread is probably worth keeping an eye on.
HA! After dating blondes, brunettes, and red heads, I married a BRUNETTE! 100% jet black hair. You blondes aint got S*** on THIS girl!

“University of California researchers”
Yeah, and you wonder why California is broke. Why do they spend so much time and money on this dreck!
welcome to FR! some of us have a sense of humor. chill out!
Yes... based on a study of 156 people. Absurdly low number of participants and all from ...”Southern California”? Wow.
Hard to believe it was even published. Shame shame.
I am blonde, originally from NY. Legally blonde and naturally blonde. I demand a retraction or I will kick some very scientific ass!!
Fix it dammit!
hehehe
UCSB did with grant money that came from YOUR tax dollars.
Female getting her way-
It has less to do with her being blonde and more to do with her attractiveness (hair color does not matter).
A beautiful woman is constantly catered to by men who would like to sleep with her even though most know they have NO PRAYER.
You haven’t been here long enough to decide what content should be on this site unless you are Jim Thompson.
Agreed . I don't know what theories are taught today , but I have remained convinced B.F. Skinner's extentions of the theories of operant conditoning have validity . Grow up with the name B.F. and the last name Skinner and see if you do not learn some behaviors .
Except redheads who of course have no souls .
Because nobody knew good looking, young, blonde women have a sense of entitlement until it was confirmed in a peer reviewed journal.
Brunettes RULE. :)
'What does it look like?' she finally asked.
The policewoman replied, 'It's square and it has your picture on it..'
The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. 'Here it is,' she said.
The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying,
'OK, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop.'
