    Hey all, just wanted to know what you think of red hair? Yes, I do hve red hair and I find it gas that in the so called 'home' of red hair(Ireland) people find it a great laugh...I dont get it. I was starting to talk about this in a different thread but I thought Id just start a new one as it wasnt fair to the guy who started his own thread. Why do we have a stigma attached that people with black, brown, blonde, grey, white and green hair dont have? If there's any other people with red hair wanna have their say or of course anyone else want to help me out then do drop a post!:D

    Red-haired women = teh win. So long as they're not uber-freckly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,768 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I usually compare redheaded women to chinese women - theyre either fantastic looking or quite unattractive - theres rarely a middle ground.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Nothing wrong with a red head just so long as she's hot and as Seamus says is'nt freckled like crazy! and with that frizzy hair...

    good, careful now!

    Mike.

    Red hair is ok, as long as fake tan isn't used lol.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    I agree with all the above sentiments. Red Heads are either hot, or not. No middle.

    True. As mike pointed out you could get this:

    I remember a personal ad with a woman describing herself was something like.

    20y/o female, smoker, stricken redhead, WLTM man.

    I was in bits laughing at that. Some girls could dye their hair and you would never know it. A "stricken" redhead could be spotted a mile off no matter how good a dye job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭Rockee


    Hehee, yeah. Being of the genuine article my radar can detect them no probs!:D They'll slag us redsers and get a red bottle job the next day.:p

    Actually only 2% of the population have red hair!

    Ive a ginger noggin myself, its not very strong my hair is so dark its nearly brown but theres no mistake im a ginger, well there would be no question if ya had a look downstairs.........

    Have never been the slightest bit bothered, to be honest i'd take what ive got rather then be bald/ing, fat or short (although Ricky Gervais would argue me there! lol)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    red hair was my BIG turn on when i was in my twenties. i honestly didnt know what guys saw in blondes . so when i was after a girl it was redhead, burnette and THEN blonde in terms of physical attraction (providing of course the collars and cuffs match :D )
    of course life being what it is my current interest is a blonde (which confusses me as much as anyone else), although there IS the fact theyre sluttier :D

    i 2 have red hair and dont see what the big deal with it is. What if someone with black hair was the only one in a romm without red hair, would the rest start calling him "black-jack" or something like that?? When people "slag" people with red hair, they think theyre great 'cause they slagged some one but tbh I couldnt give a Sh1t what people "slag" me over!

    Not quite sure what the difference is between ginger & redhead though (oh & foxy too) - something I should probably have figured out by now.

    Ah Steve........
    Now i know why we agree on all things football.

    *****************We're both redzers!!!

    I'd like to know what the ladies think of men with red hair. i mean i know we're not very well represented what with Chris Evans, Hector and Mick Hucknall being our commercial representatives. There are cool famous people with red hair. (I just cant think of any right now) ha ha ha!!!. From my experience very few women actually would choose red hair over other colours but the ones that do are Fu*kin manic in their persuit of a redzer.

    This man speaks with unsurpassed wisdom.

    And oh yeah, it was Pythia that posted her picture. It's a prime example of what red haired women should look like :)

    depends on the shade.

    I may not have been blessed with looks at birth, but having the red hair was spared thankfully. good stuff dark haired decendants! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia

    There's a few pictures hanging around. First page of Hotornot for example. Or near the end of Know your Nerds.
