[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, the vast majority of us are short with dark hair and dark eyes, so dime a dozen. Being tall, natural blonde with blue eyes is a rarity genetically and therefore striking. My kids are mixed with darker skin and one has pure green eyes (no hazel or brown in them) and the other one blue and people stare, because it's so unusual. Why do you think Jeremy Ray Meeks is famous? Because he has a very striking and very rare combo of coloring. [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Because blue eyes are a recessive gene and only 8% of the world population has them. Also only 2% of the population has natural blonde hair. If you add tall stature, these women with all three features become a unicorn. Columbia Business School has interesting research about this - 35% of the women senators and 48% of the female CEOs are blonde. The research points out that all people, including POC, rate blondes as being warmer and more attractive. There's a study where the same women colored their hair brunette from blonde and they were subjected to harsher criticism. Pretty much all studies indicate that men prefer blondes, but the reason why is still unknown. Blondes have slightly higher estrogen levels than brunettes, so it could be driven by reproduction. Another theory is that the preference started in the Paleolithic area, when the first women became blondes and stood out, like they do today. BTW, I'm brunette and shorter (5'7) and 100% straight, so I'm just fascinated by the research. I met Claudia Schiffer once in Europe in the 90s and I can't emphasize the impact that she made when she entered the room. She was gorgeous and intimidating at the same time, I can't really put it into words.    [/quote]

This is not China. In the US it is not unusual at all to have blue eyes. All 4 of my kids to and at least 2/3 of their friends do. Sure, it may be 8% of the world, but it is much much higher percent in the US - many immigrated from England, Scotland, Ireland, etc. [/quote]

All this says is that you don’t live in a very diverse area. Only around 1/4 Americans have blue eyes.[/quote]
