Blondes have more fun? Think again. A study from the University of Westminster reveals that men rate brunettes as more attractive than blondes.
Blonde, brunette, or redhead? Researchers sent a woman to three London nightclubs, dyeing her hair blonde, brown, or red for each visit. They then surveyed 130 men, asking them to rate her appearance from photos showing the three hair colors.
The results? As a blonde, she was approached 60 times and seen as the most approachable. However, men rated her as the most attractive and intelligent as a brunette (approached 42 times). As a redhead, she was approached only 18 times.
The takeaway: Men perceive blondes as more open to casual encounters but view brunettes as more selective, potentially leading to intimidation or fear of rejection. This aligns with insights from behavioral psychology on first impressions and attraction cues.
