Blonde, Blue-Eyed White Women

[Anonymous]

Not because I look like that, but yes, I love the look. Imitating it is very difficult for other complexions. Perhaps it used to be a beauty ideal. It’s more now. But isn’t it all about scarcity? Green eyes are the most recessive trait, then red hair, then blondes and blue eyes to follow. That might spell a huge return for this type of beauty ideal quite soon.

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

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.

Yeah except those Asian actresses look HOT with the surgery and the ones you listed still look busted or weird after all that help. Have you even seen Christie Brinkley and Michelle Pfeiffer lately? They’re flat out scary and fake now. Who in their right mind would list them as examples of aging well or gracefully?

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.

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!

I didn’t read all of this, because clearly you haven’t travelled much. You don’t have to wear a hijab in the UAE, Lebanon, Oman, Kurdistan, or Jordan where I travelled. People in China actually did touch my hair. I went out of my way to say it’s not so great being blonde, but you can’t get over your anti blonde obsession, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Maybe Jeff can make an anti-blonde forum? Maybe then the Indian man and the 5 butt hurt sock puppet posters who post on these threads every 3 months could have their own safe space, free from the triggers of pale folk.

Personally I love these threads. Every few months it’s just like an inject of self esteem boost. You want to be us, but you can’t.

I look like that and I do love it, but it’s so easy to cross the line into kitsch and you see a lot of that with platinum
blond these days. It’s also a fantastic look for aging, just make sure you wear SPF.

Agree.

52 years old chinese actress Qing Xu




52 years old Naomi Watts


52 years old korean actress Kim Hee-ae


You have to admit Naomi Watts aged relatively better among blondes, but still.
First time uploading pictures, hope it works.

All of those ladies are beautiful ^^, and I’m horrified that people are trying to pit people against each other. This is ugly.

Ladies, there are so many beautiful women in all shades and colors. I am grateful that the standard notion of beauty is today much more global than merely white/European/Anglo. My tween DDs think Amanda Gorman is beautiful. And they all want to be these gorgeous K-pop or K-drama stars (Korean). TBH, I can't think of a single white, blond woman that is an ideal today for today's teens or even millennials. But at the same time, they would never look down on a white girl with blond hair and blue eyes for the way she looks - it's just not the singular standard of beauty it may have been at one time.

Of course, you didn't read it. It would involve a skill you don't have.

Blue eyed brunettes are pretty rare.

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.

** 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.

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.
If you put a black or brown frame on a portrait, you notice the face first.

That is why blondes get more attention even with an ugly mug. The blonde hair (fake or real) is noticeable--especially in a dark bar and I actually read that in a study--lol.

Eh. I'm blonde and blue. There's room for all types of beauty. I will never see it as a bad thing that women who look different are seen as beautiful. I am not that great looking haha.
