Members unicorn Posted June 21, 2017 Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 I just saw Asa Butterfield in the movie The Space Between Us, and I was in awe of his beautiful dark hair and sparkling blue eyes. I have a definite preference for men with dark hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a victim of brainwashing by the constant bombardment of dark haired male heroes being held as the standard of beauty by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, or if Hollywood and Madison Avenue are just tapping into an innate human preference for men having dark hair and women being blondes. The most successful male models of all time, David Gandy and Sean O'Pry both have dark hair and blue-green eyes. This movie was another example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members unicorn Posted June 21, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 I mean, it seems I'm constantly bombarded with "Handsome men have dark hair; pretty women are blondes," ever since I was a tot watching Disney movies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members unicorn Posted June 21, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 So what do you guys think? Have I been conditioned to think that dark hair means masculine and handsome? Or is this just something we all just like, and maybe Hollywood and Madison Avenue are just giving us what we're hard-wired to prefer?

Guest Pulgasari Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Beauty canons are undoubtedly influenced by media, culture, society, etc That's not a choice, it just happens: you are what you eat. But it is indeed their choice when they decide to promote dark haired men/blonde women; particularly if you consider animated characters created from the scratch. Are we hard-wired to prefer dark, or blonde, or else? I don't know. But, does that really matter? At this point, that is your taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted June 24, 2017 Members Share Posted June 24, 2017 Townsend, did you not notice that the dementors never went after Ron Weasley? Didn't you ever wonder about that? It's a well known fact that gingers have no soul. This is what happens when you try to give a ginger a soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
