Blondes Vs. Brunette (Social Experiment)

View Comments

• It seems like people's opinions and experiences vary tremendously. I have been a brunette all my life and despite everyone telling me blonde will not suit me, I went full bright, beautiful beige blonde a year ago and I have NEVER-ever-ever-ever received as many compliments from people (men and women) and gotten as much male attention and approach as I do now. I absolutely love my look now and it suits me and my features so well. The only thing that changed about my appearance was my hair color. People are way more friendly, helpful, and much more sociable with me than they've ever been, men as well. I guess it also heavily depends on your facial and body features, skin tone, etc. Some women look way better blonde and vice-versa. Also, I cannot say that I have been attracting more "bad", "low quality"" or "ill-intended" men. You will with any hair color if your overall looks/makeup/style is more sultry or unkempt.

• I absolutely love brunette hair. I'm a natural blonde, so the grass is always greener on the other side. This experiment is extremely flawed. For one that blonde wig was so atrocious. It didn't even look like hair. I also think the reasoning behind brunette being preferred by a lot of men is the fact that it looks more natural. You wouldn't get the same response with a natural shade of blonde. That wig was not a natural shade of anything.

• When I died my hair blonde I got attention from certain types of men. Maybe superficial, players or sex addicts. Brown hair seems way less attention but more authentic men

  • Denise297_fit I agree completely

  • In my opinion, the Brunette looks better than blonde hair

  • exactually... you said it in the best way.

  • Denise fitness & recovery As a natural blonde hair person I totally agree. Every time I go on vacation in different countries people ALWAYS stare.

  • I completely agree, if it was only a brief moment people would always look, after 5 years of platinum blonde after awhile it gets old, When everyone always stares or looks over, because the color was very bright. However I do miss it, and at times equated my self worth into having blonde hair I did find it odd as people were more open to coming up to or speaking with me, or even holding a door open versus being brunette. Now I find it much easier to just lay low in the background and not feel like I've caught people's attention because of my hair. This is so long 😭

• Honestly, I don't even care about hair color. I've met attractive people with all sorts of type of hair

  • I do sort of prefer if they have hair,,,,, but I'm really not that fussy

  • @AI GALA 🤣🤣🤣😭

  • Me too that's y I don't change my hair lol I'm just like whatever God knew what he was doing. Except if I get Grey's that's not ok.

  • Phil Ṃason bruh😂😂😂

  • I like your hair

• This was terrific! As a much younger woman, I used to love to change my hair color -- sometimes blonde, sometimes brunette and sometimes dark auburn (one time I accidentally turned pink). I worked for a major pharmaceuticals company when I went from brown to blonde and was surprised to notice some definite changes in the way I was treated. With darker hair, people (men and women alike) took me seriously -- they really listened to what I was saying while looking at my face -- BUT, men tended NOT to hold the door open for me. As a blonde, no one looked at my face when I was speaking -- but men held the door for me. Hair color (and in a similar way, clothing style) works sort of like body language -- others "read" us (or try to) through how we appear on the outside. Interesting study! BTW, I now have gray hair and am most times treated as though I'm completely invisible!! Sad but true!

  • @Diane Harrison people say oh ya your so lucky to be blonde oh I hate brown brown people get way more hate than blonde people but I think it’s the opposite 😢

  • Colour it and be seen again!

• I'm blonde and when I dye my hair darker I notice I get treated with more respect by strangers. It's really strange but it's TRUE.

  • @Dominique Daryl Willis blondes are rare? I don't think so...
    But I Can't deny that blondes get more attention (especially from men) and be more charming, but you also can't deny that brunettes have always been more respected and taken seriously, it's scientific data.

  • And please get educated love blondes are known to be feminine have class and blondes are very rare and you basically just said you get more respect girl u sure you wasn't getting respect for being white???

  • @Dominique Daryl Willis Jealous of what

  • Me too I often go between the two colours when I am brunette I get more attention haha x

• I am a natural blonde and in my experience, blondes get judged SO much. Whenever I have fake red or brunette hair, or even just really dark blonde, I am treated very differently from when my hair is lighter. And this is something I have known since I was a child, when my hair was super pale.

• I’ve been both very dark brunette and super blonde. Women warmed to me a lot more with friendships as a brunette and were standoffish/judgemental when I was blonde. Men ignored me as a brunette and paid more attention to me as a blonde. In the end I just settled for a hair colour somewhere inbetween, which suits my skin colour best

• I think the experiment would have been more reliable if her hair style was he same as both a brunette and blonde. The style makes a BIG difference. Notice how people made comments on how much hair you had rather than the color. Your brown hair style was waaay more understated. You need to compare apples to apples and have everything exactly the same excepting the color to have a good control study. Perhaps having two wigs with the same style and different colors would have worked better. Also, I could tell the wig was fake especially from the back, so a better quality wig too.

  • yees

  • True

  • Agree! This was more a test of fake vs real than blond v brunette. And if you listen to the guys, that is what they kept getting at.

  • #GallowaySquad.. Lol
    I rarely see anyone w/my last name!😀

  • Yes, having two similar looking wigs would've been a more accurate comparison. People can tell the difference between real hair and a fake wig.

• To any blondes out there who are feeling bad I have advise for all of you if you love your blonde hair LOVE IT!!! And if you're brunette and you want to be blonde but you're afraid that guys won't think you look good then DON'T CARE!!! GO FOR IT!!! Be unique, Be you, Love yourself and express yourself the way you want to. It doesn't matter what guys think. Weather they think you look good or pretty. Don't look pretty for a guy Look Unique for you!!!!

  • @Cherryblossoms yeah, no one says "oi brunette" only to blondes

  • I agree with u sis! Blonde and brunette are beautiful jsut the way theyr

  • Why won't you make us brunettes feel good about ourselves for once?.. You blondes get too much attention..
