Very good points, Naki.
I also agree that fair skin is actually a far more desirable trait in humans than fair hair.

While at the same time blond women only means : blond Caucasian women. Because naturally blond hair only exists in Caucasians.In fact we as Caucasians (most people on this discussion board are Caucasian) should be proud of the fact that blond women are considered the most beautifull by men. Because blond hair only exists in the Caucasian race. Really?

Am I the only one who took the original post as some sort of satire?

I think he was serious. I am a natural blonde, and although blonde hair is striking and beautiful, I think it is a myth that we blondes are more desired and that love and romance comes easier for us. I had met men who seemed far more attracted to brunettes. My blonde hair, pale white skin and blue eyes did not act as special magnets for male attention.

LOL, doesn't anybody else see that the conclusions and reasoning of flight are not sound? Who cares about the percentages of blonde or brunette women in the world? I don't see how it changes whether you have a preference for blonde or brunette women! As soon as you have seen a considerable number of both brunette and blonde women, you will probably have decided whether you prefer the one or the other. Your opinion doesn't depend on the relative proportions.

That's a good point!
As for myself, I've never understood why blond hairs are supposed by many to be so attractive. I look at general aspect, facial features, expressions, etc., hair color doesn't bother me, except when it's clearly out of place on a face. But even so, could be attractive sometimes.

The average man may prefer blonds but they'll take whatever they can get their hands on . I'm partial towards red heads. My girlfriend is a natural blond who dyes it red often and I'm quite happy with that. ------ You're definitly correct, Curious

Zemelete is being disingenuous. She knows full well that blond hair occurs only in parts of Western China and Mongolia previously inhabited by Caucasoids. The Mongoloids came in later and absorbed the white people. So Caucasoid genes occasionally manifest themselves in this mostly-Mongoloid populace.
The equivalent is like Zemelete pretending that sub-Saharan Africans have blond hair by pointing out a negro from the United States with a yellow afro. The negro only has that trait insofar as he's mixed with Caucasoids. It's just silly to pretend otherwise.
P.S.--Coming from the United States, I always associated blond hair with the poorest and most backward of our populace. The purest bastions of Anglo-Saxondom are also the poortest in America: Appallachia and Mississippi--no one's idea of America's cultural centers. So, for me, I always cringed at the butter-blond hair of the fat truck-stop waitress or the urine-colored locks of the sleazy strumpet. And who doesn't associate the white-blond hair of Appallachian children with poverty and stupidity? (There have actually been studies conducted in the U.S. regarding the high frequencies of blond hair among the mentally retarded. I'm not joking, either.) It therefore shocked me when I went to South America and saw how they absolutely adored the trait. I guess they did so because it's so infrequent down there. In the United States, where it's more common, it's vastly less esteemed. Likewise in Scandinavia: They typically think Mediterranean looks are handsomer. Swarthy Cary Grant would be the ideal of the fairer countries. The darker countries, contrariwise, prize fair features. I guess it's Nature's way to make us healthier, by instilling in us a desire for traits that will expand our gene-pools. Opposites attract, etc.

I was speaking about physical appearance, not about genes. I was arguing to the thing, what flight said - blonde hair exist only in the caucasian race. As you see it can be also among mongoloids (of course, if there are caucasian genes). I am taking races and genes seperately.

I know i'm biased but brunettes are hotter cause their eyes and fair skin stand out with darker hair. But it doesn't really matter cause they're all the same in the dark.(lol i'm kidding don't get offended)

I think there was a study done on that.
