Where did the blond men go?

I’m very attracted to blond men, but can’t seem to find any…at least natural ones! Years ago, when I lived in Vail, CO, there were many to choose from, especially if I visited Denver for a weekend. Here in WeHo, they’re scarce. Growing up CA in the 80s, they were all over, even on TV. What happened?!

I'm right here, OP. 51 and still naturally blond.

Also here. 41 and still blond. In summers it turns tow head white still and people think I dye it. I’ve given up trying to defend myself.

One of the best parts of aging as a blond (whose hair didn't darken with age) is that as my hair slowly starts to turn white, they just blend in, and overall my hair looks lighter blonde with highlights, rather than visible gray/white in darker hair.

It may honestly be getting bred out of society. Blonds were already a minority and it’s unlikely they partner with another blond person. So depending on the recessivity of the trait (I have no idea, but I’m sure someone else will speak up haha) vs brown hair, it could just be going away through the generations.

46 and naturally blond. Hasn't darkened since childhood, and fades to a lighter blond after being in the sun.

I’ve never found blonde men attractive. They tend to be weak, feminine, and bad in bed. I like my men to be tall dark hair, dark skin, brown eyes and muscular

I only like them with curly hair and hairy chests

R7 You should probably share that with your therapist. More hostility than warranted.

I see a fair amount in the Midwest.

I think all of the other blond men are joining me in a sigh of relief, r7.

Natural blond is nice. Dyed blond is hideous, on a man or a woman. It looks like straw. Every strand the same color. Natural hair color, no matter what shade, is made up hundreds (even thousands) of different color hues.

R4 Mixed-race relationships were uncommon back in the 50s, which is probably why you saw more natural blonds in the 70s and 80s. I still see a lot of blonds, but towhead blonds are pretty rare.

The blondest people I see these days seem to come from Australia and New Zealand.

I think you see less in major American cities but once you get outside, there everywhere. Well, there are are a lot of blondes in Newport Beach. Growing up in LA, I had cousins from the east coast that were under the notion that everyone is blonde hair/blue eyed, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

I’m blond and blue eyed. It’s sad that my genes won’t continue.

They're hiding in Finland.

For some reason I expected blonde guys to have a lighter aroma than dark haired guys but the rankest smelling guy I've been with was blonde.

Demographics of California changed massively in the recent decades. Plus blonds, and in general White people, have a much lower natality rate than before. Among Whites blonds were already a minority and being put in melting pots they tend to either not have kids or to partner with darker people because there aren't many of them to begin with and the odds are very low.

I’ve always liked blonds.

R17 You can have kids with surrogacy.

I grew up in a town where there was settled by German immigrants. Schmidt was the most common name and seems like half the boys at school were blind including my first real crush, a big blond football player who’s last name was Becker. So I grew up thinking blond was sexier, especially as there were more blond guys on TV and such back then. Only when I moved away, to an area with a lot of Italians, did I get an appreciation for dark haired guys.

Blond not blind. Though that would have been interesting.

They’re fine! They send their love!

Where have all the blond men gone? Wasn't that a Paula Cole song? Or perhaps I'm thinking of something else...

I learned here that blond guys age lousily. They all use Robert Redford as exhibit A.

Vikings. I love hairy blond guys. I love the way the sun reflects on and illuminates the body fuzz. Same with ginger guys.

Lots of gorgeous blond guys.

Thanks to finasteride I’ll have a lot of blond hair for a long time.

The movie of OP's life (well, gender-reversed...):

I have read every single post in this thread and I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much. Who knew this would be such an interesting topic to discuss?

I don't know about men, but as long as hair dye exists there will be blonde women.

Multi-culturalism will increasingly erase blondes in Western societies. But there are some very beautiful ones in Scandinavia. I love blondes too OP, I don't know why they attract me so much. Something about them just turn me on.

A couple yrs back in Parade mag, Marilyn vos Savant answered this same question in relation to the lessening prevalence of blue eyes. She said that it’s being inadvertently bred out of the population.

Fewer bleach blonds and tips. It was more popular into the1980s.

I admit I've always had a strong attraction to blond men who had hairy chests, forearms & legs. You don't see that much in natural blonds

[quote]Marilyn vos Savant answered this same question in relation to the lessening prevalence of blue eyes. She said that it’s being inadvertently bred out of the population.

It's scary for humans to be devolving like that.

Dirty blonds are the best!

Tired of the dark ones; starved for the blond ones.

R38, that’s pretty subjective. Surely traits have come and go throughout the history of humanity. From a scientific perspective, it’s neither good nor bad. It’s just time.

Where did all the blond men go?

Anyone ever have sex with an albino?

r42, humans evolved to have blue eyes less than 10,000 years ago. If a preferred trait like that were to disappear, it would be devolution.

R42 Hmm... No. If a trait belongs to a certain population and this population, for whatever reason, gets wiped out or is decimated, the trait is gone. Yes, it might survive in a few individuals every number of generations but it's going to be done, like the Atlas lion. Throughout history many ethnic groups, populations, languages died out and also many traits (think of the Ainu of Japan - their Paleo-Siberian traits are gone forever) have died. Think of the Indo-Europeans of India. They were blond with blue eyes and yes, maybe one every 2 millions Indian might have blue eyes, but you can't say that the trait survived as its population of reference died.

If White blond, blue eyed people stop reproducing (they also have sky rocket levels of homosexuality) and race mix, well, the gene dies out. Very simple.

[quote]I see a fair amount in the Midwest.

Me too.

OP, you need to move to the Midwest if you want blond men.

Manly blonds are very rare. But when they're tall and handsome like the one at r29, with facial hair and downy body hair, I find them irresistibly attractive.

For the sake of accuracy, men are blond, women are blonde.

The blond hair map of the world.

As a blond in SF (don’t see many of us here) I’ve had to beat the Asians and Latinos off with a stick. They love my blond pubes and hairy blond ass.

Filthy blond here with golden highlights in the sun, green eyes, Hairy chest.

I was a platinum blond as a kid but my hair started getting darker the older I got. By the time I was a teen I was a dirty blond and in my mid 30s my hair was basically brown. My older brother has been blond always but then again his eyes are blue while mine are brown/hazel. My body hair has always been a mix of super blonde and darker shades of brown although now after taking a closer look I see it's gotten darker brown as well. My body hair has always been rather thin and fine, friends used to marvel how soft my stubble and beard feel to the touch.

As long as they have a penis......I'm good...

They still exist, trust me. Most men here in Norway are blond.

Great thread. I've usually been attracted to dark haired/eyed men; however, in the last few years I've been VERY attracted to blond guys almost to the exclusion of dark haired men. I'm not sure what suddenly sparked that shift in me. Like many have mentioned above, the blond hair coupled with downy body hair is so hot!

In reviewing my sexual incident list I came to the conclusion that blonds have a higher incidence than should be expected in the US. The same could be said with Jewish and Native American men. Overall, that came at the expense of black haired men.

My current partner is blond and blue eyed. His siblings and their direct progeny all are blond and blue eyed. All are attached to black haired spouses/partners and none have blond haired kids. The blue eyes have popped out here and there.

Per map at r50, most blonds are in the Nordic countries, the UK and Russia. I thought the British Isles is mainly gingers?

It's called Die Versity, OP.

And all those white brunettes bleaching their hairs have been shamed out of doing it because blondfishing is APPROPRIATION.

Only black girls and boys are allowed to dye their hair yellow. That's called "freedom."

Where have you been, OP?

OP, even though I'm about to take off, call me.

Fun fact for this thread, years ago, I went to a clothing optional resort and saw an older gent with what looked like yellow pubes. I wasn’t sure, but it looked like he had dyed and bleached his pubes to match his hair.

I have always liked blonds but as I grow older I find myself mostly attracted to redheads and strawberry blonds more than any other group. And I have developed a curious attraction for bearded men.

Pornstar Logan Stevens is the perfect blond man to me

Similar to r53 I have three sibling cousins who were all platinum blond as little kids. Their hair all darkened as they got older. Their parents both had brown hair. Genetics is weird sometimes. I do notice when watching TV there are a lot of white actors with blue or otherwise light eyes. Over 50% certainly. Maybe there is an subliminal bias that makes them seem more attractive and thus hired more often and overrepresented.

Blond and red hair are recessive genes, so they're going to keep on recessing.

I've noticed that my dating pattern alternatives between blond and brunette every time.

Give me Alexander Ludwig!!

Blonds, native to the northern European region are suffering from loss of their natural habitat due to global warming, like polar bears.

The Plath family is doing their part to produce as many blonds as possible.

I don't understand why losing blue eyes would be considered "devolution". It would only be considered devolution if blue eyed individuals were considered superior. Definitely not the case for men in terms of what is a superior male sample.

I’m naturally light blond with hazel eyes. R7 you’re a moron.

That’s true that blue eyes would not be preferred outside or on the outskirts of civilization.

Blond hair on men isn't particularly an attractive trait, it's very feminine in its appeal, perhaps that's why it's on the decline. I don't find it appealing either, although there is the odd exception here and there, I wouldn't mind a Tab Hunter type.

Seems like the classic tall, dark and handsome is the preferred preference overall.
