[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will just say I had both blonde and darker hair and the difference in attention/treatment is astonishing. [/quote]

Agree it is astonishing. I am dark hair and very blue eyes. Since turning 50 I’ve gone blonde to hide gray hair. I can’t believe how much attention I get now, particularly from men [/quote]

There may be a difference, but let me tell you, as a lifelong natural blonde with blue eyes that is not wanted attention a lot of the time. As a young woman who traveled the world alone it felt like an extra target for harassment or worse. Also some of that "attention" you get gets damned uncomfortable if you're not into White Supremacist racists or people who hate their race and are looking to "whiten the line" or who assume you are a slut because of how you look. This by no means compares to actual racism, but there are lessons I would give to women who look like this that might not be immediately apparent because of privilege overall. Over 50 this is not an issue. [/quote]
