Gingers vs Redheads

[Portia]

I would just like to say that redheads are generally more attractive than the general population, and i envy all of you who have red hair.

I have a theory that it red hair pushes you further to either side of the attractiveness spectrum. Some are more attractive, and some are downright homely.

Of course, I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle, and I know several other average-looking redheads, so I don't even really believe my own theory.

I think it usually increases female's hotness and decreases men's. And I can personally attest that I have had plenty of male Board writers chat with me about how they thought you were attractive, and wanted to/attempted to flirt with you at parties and such, with varying degrees of success. So you definitely have sex appeal, for what it's worth.

I keep seeing this thread title and think there should be a fight between the gingers and the redheads.

Fight!

Hmmm I think redheaded guys are very attractive, but there's no accounting for taste.

My brother's beard is red but his hair is blond. Are there any guys like that on this board?

My missionary is blond, but his facial hair is also kind of red.

What? Dang, I am sometimes oblivious. Well, tell them thanks for me. And sorry that I wasn't more helpful.

My dad's hair is dark brown, my husband's hair is black, but both of them have dark red hairs when they have facial hair.

I think we board writers need to follow our own advice, clearly. Go for the elbow, fellas!

My dad is a redbeard too! When he grew his crazy beard last summer, it was red and grey. (No, not a midlife crisis. Just an inability to shave because he had poison oak on his face. My mom hated it. I didn't think it was so bad, but when he shaved again he looked about 20 years younger, so maybe she had a point. )

THAT'S THE WAY I AM TOO.

Here's the original post I found these in, which explains further. Brighter means more, redder means more female.

I wear my ginger mane with pride.

I've never been called a ginger, and I've never associated ginger with anything other than Harry Potter. Though, in that case it was being used as a nickname from a werewolf to his captive. So, not entirely flattering.

Also, it's been years since I've been commonly thought of as a redhead. Which makes me sad because I feel like a major part of my identity has been ripped from me.

My mom's BFF is a redhead named Ginger. True story. Carry on.

[Dragon Lady]

Huh. I hadn't thought of it before, but my cousin is, too.

[Portia]

My mom's cousin is a brunette named Ginger.

So is my aunt. And Aunt Ginger's grand-daughter is named after her, and she is blond. All colors of Gingers!
