Redheads - Attractive or Not?

    I'm a redhead and proud of it but one thing that really annoys me is the use of the word 'ginger' (when it sounds like singer)!
    Now unfortunately my hair is actually of the dark red variety and can be sometimes considered to be more brown. But what's the verdict in general on redheads - do guys really prefer blondes all the time? Are redheads ever top of anyone's list of must haves?? Are they really considered 'mingers'?
    I'd be interested to see what hair colour really is top of the list for you men

    Is it me, or is this red hair thing becoming a race more than a hair colour ??? Recently i heard stories of families having to move house etc over their child having red hair and getting bullied?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    The thing with redheads is that you're either hot or extremely pig arse ugly..........there is no in between and that's your downfall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,187 ✭✭✭keefg


    IMO the term "Ginger" only applies to men. I have seen a lot of VERY attractive ladies with varying shades of red hair from the so-called Strawberry Blonde right through to dark auburn.

    Sorry but if you are a man then you are stuck with the term you dislike so much (unless of course you count that fat bird from the Spice Girls :p )

    Rearrange the letters in ginger and you find what a lot of Irish thinks of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Just my opinion, but all gingers should be executed at birth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    you can't judge someone on one thing alone. personally I would prefer a brunette, but it takes more than just hair colour for me to think of you as attractive. I mean if you have a face like a bag of hammers and a fantastic personality then I will find you attractive. far more attractive than a pretty girl who's wisdom only reaches her makeup bag and soap operas. fúck those girls right in the ear!

    it took me a sec to cop on, but now that's all I see when I see the word ginger. lol

    Red, yes - ginger no.

    Naturally coloured hair floats my boat. Colour is irrelevant.

    The worst thing is to see 3 or 4 women from the same family, mother and 2 or 3 daughters, all dyed blonde. Bimbos.

    Dark red's the nicest. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    I love teh gingers. I'm deeply in love with one of them, and I don't care if I'm at risk of catching gingervitis. I have now found attraction in white skin and freckles and red hair.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭MooseJam


    as long as you get rid of the red pubes euww I've no problem with gingers, some are very attractive


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    I like redheads.

    Not the flaming haired, pale skinned, freckly types though.

    But thee is nothing worse than getting a blonde or brunette into the sack, only to realise she reads books.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Why does the OP assume all guys only like Blondes? I'm much more partial to Brunettes myself. They've got that whole mysterious thing going for them, whereas as Blondes are generally an open book. Red heads can be good looking, but it depends on the shade at the end of the day.

    but you could say that of anyone with any hair colour - it's not like all brunettes are drop dead gorgeous!

    And also what's the story with weight, which is better - too thin or too fat? Without being extreme in either direction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Conor108


    Yeah gingers are hot I also happen to be one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Attractive in the exact same way any hair color is to me, i.e doesn't make any difference. I don't get why people actually have this active hatred of red hair, I think it's fine.

    And I would rather 'too' thin then 'too' fat, at the extreme ends both are horrible but the excess fat even more so. But if you had to average it out, on the whole I'd prefer a fuller girl then a skinny one.

    Ah no I don't assume all guys only like blondes, I was taking it from the old saying 'gentlemen prefer blondes' type of thing!

    Some of the best lucking girls I know are red heads, I used to be quite anti-ginger but I have overcome my prejudice and can now appreciate the red-heads.

    Redheads can be very hot alright, just like blondes can be very hot or brunettes can be very hot.

    And I'd go for 'too skinny' any day over 'too fat'. Nothing more disgusting imho.

    Kari Byron is absurdly attractive.
    And Bryce Dallas Howard aint too bad either, although I know many disagree.

    Probably leaning more towards the fact that she is an ugly cow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd

    Nobody really hates red heads.
    It's just popular to say you do.

    Black people: Off limits.
    Chinese people: off limits.
    <insert race or religion here>: ~Off limits.

    All that's left are red heads.

    The google image search link will go to naked pictures if you have set safesearch to off. Just a warning.

    I like redheads, a lot. I even buy surf washing up powder coz the redhead lady off Fair city used to do adds for it.

    Can't seem to find many pics of her on the interweb.

    Guess I'll have to use that RTE guide cover from 1999 tonight, again...


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,108 ✭✭✭Lirange


    I prefer brunettes.

    Though some reds can be very nice. I just don't like it when they have an overabundance of poxy frecks. It also has to be a darker shade of red. No tangerine gingers please!


  • Registered Users Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    redheads/brunettes ftw!

    redheads are just hot

    Bzah - the question should really be hariy armpits or not. the color is a mere distraction....


    <goes back to his ginger/redhed/black colored/nesbit/hairy/gorilla type usually found on the inside of an overgrown toenail>
