- BelatedHero, on 08/11/2008, -7/+63Blondes have more fun... but brunettes actually remember it the next day.
- MacParrot, on 08/11/2008, -1/+26As a blonde I must say I find that statement VERY offensive!
Wait...what were we talking about again? - DesertDude, on 08/11/2008, -0/+24My kid sister loves Barbie dolls too.
- MrSmith34, on 08/10/2008, -6/+18...and in other news, Scientists are discovering the genome of Neanderthals.
- shadowman99, on 08/11/2008, -3/+12In the best tradition of Darwin I have also conducted similar research.
I have in my possession a blond who is the subject of many of my experiments.
- thegrantman, on 08/11/2008, -1/+10He put blonde wigs on chimpanzees.They did attract more males but there was also a noted increase in hair flipping,gum chewing,and falling out of trees.
- mijelh, on 08/11/2008, -0/+8"Based on recent genetic information carried out at three Japanese universities, the date of the genetic mutation that resulted in blond hair in Europe has been isolated to about 11,000 years ago during the last Ice Age. Before then, Europeans mostly had darker hair and eyes, which is predominant in the rest of the world"
That's how - Regbooker, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7Ironically, the ones that started the myth of the "Dumb blonde" during the 60s, just to name a few, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow, etc, were all brunettes with their hair dyed.
- ZeeZee2k, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7Your pants are on fire, sir.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 08/11/2008, -3/+9I was expecting this to be an onion article.
- MacParrot, on 08/11/2008, -1/+7Really? Ever spent any time in Helsinki during the winter? Not much else to do in the cities but get drunk and have sex.
- TheCamino, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6 Darwin's work is incomplete.
I've been spending my whole life attempting to 'compile data' on the sex habits of redheaded women with big smiles.
(A digg for me is a digg for reds everywhere.) - REM333, on 08/11/2008, -1/+6So "having more fun" is an euphemism for being stupid?
- flumpth, on 08/11/2008, -4/+8I remember reading that blondeness has appeal to men primarily because it indicates youth.
Of course, the implication of this theory is that men are genetically predisposed to jailbait. But that's just not true. I only find 18 year olds and above attractive. - Suneet67, on 08/11/2008, -7/+11I wonder if Charles performed this research first hand
- ZeeZee2k, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3I would love to go to Finland and party with your prime minister Conan O'Brien
- gthrank, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3I wonder how accurate that research might have been in China or Colombia?
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -1/+4Buried for ridiculously inaccurate title.
- Andrwmorph, on 08/11/2008, -1/+4Anybody who claims that they only find 18 year olds and above attractive is a lying box of ***** (or has never seen a high school chick).
- tomd123, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2You mean first beard? Yes.
- MacParrot, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Depends on where those roots are
- zadadka, on 08/11/2008, -1/+3Tough job....but someone has to do it !
- Fleagleman, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1I'm so sick of these stupid Onion articles getting posted every day on Di--
Oh crap, this isn't The Onion. - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -2/+3No, because this would make Finland the party capital of the world... and, quite frankly, it's not.
- TheCamino, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1
In related news, Japanese are upset they don't have blondes, so they researched how to get them. - VTBuckeye, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1"Unfortunately, they also have more VD..."...boy I miss Carlin.
- Amorn, on 08/11/2008, -3/+4OGC
- RavagesOfTime, on 08/11/2008, -5/+6The man was clearly the genius of his time.
- diadem2, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Did they know about dominant and recessive traits back then? I always find it cool when someone looks into something that everyone assumes is "just they way it works" and finds out something amazing out of the research.
- tehknotte, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Charles Darwin Invetigates!
- Buttercup, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1you fail logic.
- kingp, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1You mean this isn't an article from The Onion? That must be a first.
- inactive, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1Buried for being a stupid troll.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1according to creationism, priests and altar boys have the most fun, regardless of the hair color
- TheGuruStud, on 08/12/2008, -1/+2Who said anything about high school? *has ***** eating grin on face*
- deano186, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1>>> what about the fake blondes
>>> are they as attractive when they have really dark roots showing?
In the traditional sense, no. In modern reality they are even more desirable.
Fair skinned, light haired women were traditionally preferred because these qualities were assumed to indicate purity and freedom from disease.
Today, the bottle blonde is to be preferred because, if "Blondes have more fun", then the most fun would obviously be had with a woman who is blonde by choice rather than by accident of birth. - tresvold, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1what about the fake blondes
are they as attractive when they have really dark roots showing? - TheCamino, on 08/11/2008, -0/+0
You act as though that isn't enough to do.
Good enough for me. - inactive, on 08/12/2008, -2/+2At that time, "inbreeding" as you describe it (cousin marriage) was fairly common. Some fairly well-known folks who married their cousins include the Biblical, and therefore fictional, Isaac and Rebekah, American patriots John Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Charles Carroll, William Ellery, Benjamin Harrison V, Francis Marion, William Whipple and Martin van Buren, and famous musicians, inventors and thinkers Voltaire, Johann Sebastian Bach, Albert Einstein, Edvard Grieg, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Thomas Malthus, Samuel Morse, Igor Stravinsky and H.G. Wells. So, um, your claim is pretty weak.
- gkiltz, on 08/12/2008, -0/+0How would you prove that?
What if you could?
This is one of those genetically meaningless mutations! - riptor666, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1It's a silly question but men do believe in that stereotype. For example all blonde women are whores and as a result most men would prefer to marry a dark haired woman who is a bit more boring and safe. It's silly but we tend to think of blondes as one night stands and brunettes as wife material.
- aserer511, on 08/11/2008, -2/+1logic can solve this. if we assume that that risk is inherently fun, and we recognize the association between stupid people likely, even if accidentally, putting themselves in risky situations, we have a proof of sorts as to the association between blondes, who are stupid, and having fun, via risk.
- BrandNewAtheist, on 08/11/2008, -2/+1This type of study wouldn't work today because woman can make themselves more attractive through makeup and surgery. I would imagine dating women in Hollywood would be like a box of chocolate, beautiful on the outside but the inside is a surprise.
- jono10, on 08/11/2008, -1/+0How many sub species of Humans are there?
- IKORKYI, on 08/11/2008, -4/+2buried for stupid title
i dont even understand why he was researching it. i mean, by his own theory of natural selection, whichever hair color is most frequent in people will be the one other people are most attracted to. Just the fact that blondes exist as a recessive trait shows that there might be a small attraction to blondes because through thousands of years they're still around - but it all seems pretty much random, which means it isn't a consensus through the entire race (human).
plus, it is obvious brunettes are way sexier - AlexanderCurtis, on 08/11/2008, -2/+0You mean 'a euphemism'
- jodil, on 08/11/2008, -3/+0It's quite interesting!!!!
Jodil Davis - Admin Malankara Orthodox Church http://www.malankaraorthodoxchurch.org - thall, on 08/11/2008, -4/+1A man who studied genetics and practiced inbreeding to keep the wealth in the family while attempting to cheat at natural selection so his family's elite genes would evolve more than those pesky commoners. Even Dr. Evil would call himself a genius.
- fx666, on 08/11/2008, -4/+1Apparently, he was.
