Do Men Prefer Blondes? Stereotype or Reality?
Good question! In the collective imagination, the legendary Marilyn Monroe remains with the film “ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ”; it was 1953 and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Tastes have changed, where a beautiful, florid blonde like Marilyn would be out of fashion and perpetually on a diet, science confirms it: men continue to prefer blondes . In physical appearance, they are considered healthier and younger. Although they then prefer brown-haired and brunettes as life companions and mothers of their children.
In Minnesota, a university ( Augsburg University , source: ANSA 2018) published in the Journal of Social Psychology a research carried out on a small sample, only 110. It emerged that men consider women with blond hair more attractive than brunettes.
The same survey also reports that blondes are considered “easier” in relationships, even with multiple partners at the same time.
As for hair length, it seems that medium length is preferable, not too long nor too short.
Dear Marilyn, you would have been popular even today!
What about diamonds? Are they still a girl's best friend? Tell the Minnesotans to investigate!!
