Blonde, Blue-Eyed White Women

Re: how people carry themselves being tell for being non-American -- There are definitely cultural differences in facial expressions (including micro-expressions with the eyes) as well as body language. You may not be able to point out exactly what's registering when you get that "she's not from around here" feeling. But it's real and has nothing to do with snobbishness.

Re: blondes in the Middle East / Asia -- I have a coworker who is freakishly mannish looking, overweight, and generally unattractive. She can go on *at length* about how men fawn over her when she travels because of her long, blonde hair. I don't know what's up with her perception, but I'm inclined to agree with others here that she's not getting attention because men think she's the beauty ideal. She's getting attention because she stands out like a sore thumb, at best, or because she looks like an easy target for solicitation or scamming.

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!

I don't think screenwriters of the 1950s were insane either -- just that they had an overwrought prose style.

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.

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!

stereotypes exist for a reason I guess

DP, but women are sexually harrassed, attacked, and molested everywhere not only the Middle East.

I'm a blonde who has spent a lot of time in the Middle East and no one looked at me like I was an alien. There are tons of blondes in the Levant, especially Syria, and even on the Peninsula blondes are not aliens. It's not like the people of the ME are isolated people deep inside a jungle with no contact with the outside world.

I was blonde with blue eyes and a big nose. Guess what? Features are more important than coloring. I pin spite of not being a beauty I’m having a wonderful life. Looks are definitely not everything!

It's also a little insulting that there are all these chicks running around with dark roots claiming they are natural blonds. Um, no, I can see your roots. And no, I don't care. But don't volunteer that you're a "natural blonde" and challenge my basic level of perception. IDGAF either way. Just let me be.

Nope, compare Naomi Watts, Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christie Brinkley, Grace Kelly during her 40s, to other women the same age. They age/d like fine wine, with minimal, if any, plastic surgery and are/were true blonds. The Kardashians are gross and fake and horrible role models for young girls.

Ugh... they all aged pretty badly compared to Asian actresses.
Their face can’t survive under those 4k camera anymore. You see every single flaw

You know if your face was the exact same but the color was brown or black with dark hair you would have a much different experience. You have definitely benefited from your light skin and blonde hair. And that’s okay, but you should acknowledge it.

I'm a natural blonde (I have nothing to prove here, you can't see me) and I'll say this- blonde changes as people age and depending on exposure to the sun. People think I darken my hair in the winter and lighten it in the summer. I've never dyed my hair in my life. I've stopped explaining this to people because they don't believe it, and I just say something like "oh yeah, I'm switching it up." But adult blonde hair turns light in the summer and darker in the winter. My roots are always a light brown. My ends are always lighter and blonde (regardless of season). So the women with dark roots saying that their hair is naturally blonde may very well be telling the truth.

Oh yeah, compared to all of the surgically altered Asian actresses? The rates of plastic surgery in parts of Asia are astronomical, don’t fool yourself.

** cough** Tori Spelling and Tiffany Trump would beg to differ with you. Unattractive is unattractive. Please don't try to make it anything other than what is is.

There is a reason they both dye their hair bleach blonde, they know it softens their ugly and they will be more accepted.

Even with her daddy connections, Tori would not have had the role she had on TV without the blonde hair.
And Tiffany could not pass muster to land her boyfriend without the bottle blond. Guys will look beyond some ugly if there is makeup, short dresses and have blond hair.

Funny. I think they would both look better with brown hair especially, Tiffany. The blonde is actually what works against them because it highlights the akwardness of the shape of their faces.

You’re thinking like a woman, not like a typical guy.

Blonde hair distracts from a face, dark hair frames a face.

If you put a yellow picture frame on a portrait, you would notice the frame first.
