I have never felt this at all. But, Brooke Shields and Cindy Crawford and Phoebe Cates and Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington and Andie McDowell and Catherine Zeta Jones and Courtney Cox and Jennifer Connolly and Helena Christensen were all very popular so I do not feel like it was a blonde thing... and that was the 80s.

Yes. And Meghan Fox, Sandra Bullock and Angelina Jolie and both Princess Kate and Meghan Markle.

So many dark hair actresses. And Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor in their heyday were stunning.

Salma Hayek and Halle Berry. Wow.

I'm a natural blond/blue eyed/pale skin and I don't go in the sun so stay pale.

If you have blue eyes and a tan I don't think you look that different than me- you could dye your hair and be blonde if you wanted. Most people like the look of a tan better than my pale skin but I embrace who I am. You sound like an american beauty standard to me (I'm not american and I think 'big teeth, wide smile, tan' when I think of american beauty. I don't think about eye or hair colour or even race.

I don't feel any backlash. I don't feel targeted. I don't get attitude from people and I don't give it. I don't think I look waspish though as I am very busty/small waist/curvy hips so I have more of a Marilyn Monroe /sexy thing which causes it's own problem, but again, men don't mess with me and tend to watch from afar and leave me alone.

I don't do any signaling other than pointing it out in public if someone is being racist- not to signal but to defend others being treated like crap or often ignored. Maybe it's my unexpected foreign accent with my colouring but when I point out racism, (white) racists tend to deny or defend but quickly self correct immediately.

Agree that even post-surgically the Kardashian colouring and body type is more embraced as 'natural' somehow.

When I think 'wasp' I think plain, skinny, short straight brown hair for some reason- not curvy and blonde.

OP, I mean this really kindly, but you really need therapy. Something has messed with your head to cause you to post this over and over and over. You are beautiful how you are. Stop posting so frequently on DCUM. Maybe block it. You need to let this go.

I’m a natural platinum blonde, parents are Swedish. My hair is down to my waist and yes I get a lot of attention BUT mostly outside of the US. People in India literally followed me around. In the Middle East, people looked at me like I was alien, like they’d never seen someone like me. In Italy it was ciao Bella all day long, but truthfully they say that to anyone. Here in the US I really don’t think people care. When I wear no makeup and my hair in a bun, I look like a prairie girl on the farm because natural platinum blondes have white eyelashes and white eyebrows. Trust me I don’t wish this on my worst enemy. I would love to have mousy brown hair all day long and zero male attention, so I could have natural brow eyebrows and lashes. I would love to have olive skin and dark hair.

The reality is that this coloring is pretty much the worst to have in real life. It's so easy to look washed out, and fair skin ages faster. I think people increasingly care more about having youthful features of any color (see the thousands of aging threads right here on DCUM) than blondness, which has become almost synonymous with bleach bottles and fakeness.

DRINKING GAME ALERT!!! IF YOU HAVE WASHED OUT, PP IS A BITTER SHREW, AND BLONDES AGE POORLY ON YOUR BINGO CARD TAKE A SHOT!

Oh, no! You poor thing! Ciao Bella, for real? And like you are an alien in the Middle East? Wow, my DD was turning heads in Italy too! And we lived in Egypt. But, DD is not a platinum blonde. She was a regular blonde at the time, and most of my friends were blonde many Dutch and English. So, here is the thing, people only touch the hair of kids, if you want to avoid this attention in the Middle East, maybe cover your hair??? As is the custom?
And cut the BS with "I would like to have brown hair," your post reeks of some idiotic narcissist love for your hair! At best, hair touching is slightly annoying, not the thing you do not wish on your worst enemy. How come no adults in my group had their hair touched in Egypt? We lived there for years! There is a bottle of color for you too, so cut the crap. DD died her blonde hair brown! It took less than half an hour!
I have never seen such a vapid post, apart from the one where she is Nordic blonde but not the U.S. blonde, people can tell her apart straight away by her looks and hoity-toity narcissism, which she called posh behavior or something. Are you her? I guess the stereotype is true!

People stare at me all the time. People used to stare at me when I was 20, 30, 40. Here in the U.S.

Two years ago I was in Rome, eyes were turning wherever I walked. My then 17-year-old DD turned eyes left and right too. She participated in a Dolce Vita event on Via Veneto.

I dare you to tell me I am not a standard of beauty. Your green-eyed monster can be nothing but scared of my confidence in my mind and my looks.

So awesome! This is hilarious!!!

Is this a total send-up or another bad 1950s movie.

I mean I thought it was clear? Send-up, parody, etc. I am confident, that is true, but come on, I am not insane!

You would not wish that upon your worst enemy? That's the worst thing that you think of? Must be great to have some protected life not to realize that in the Middle East women, with dark hair! are sexually harassed, attacked, and molested since they are children.
But, someone touched your hair is the worst thing? You are truly blonde and dumb!

Sophia Loren types have always been hot.

What I would like to see is a female equivalent to Adam Driver: a woman with a freakishly weird pancake face who is considered hot.

No one thinks Adam Driver is hot. Men get attractiveness points for being charismatic and/or distinguished, regardless of actual physical appearance. That's what we need for women -- not being considered "hot" for having a pancake face, but for being considered attractive for having a personality with a presence.
