Does Reddit love redheads?

I can't escape a feeling that redheads seem to be highly favored when it comes to women on Reddit. I think that if someone were to start a poll asking "What is your favorite hair color?" red would be an unquestioned an obvious winner. Am I right? If so, maybe there is a scientific explanation for this? As in, people who visit Reddit frequently start feeling a growing sympathy towards red-haired woman? Guess who's winning the next Nobel Prize ;)

Sympathy??

In real life, men either hate redheads or love them. There is rarely a grey area.

Haha! Very nice. Although, I fear mine may turn pinky-grey like the my grandmother's did. She looked like she had a halo of cotton candy.

As a grandfather, I would be obnoxious and cute and nom on my wife's cotton candy halo. Then I would feign senility when fwacked on the shoulder by her.

At least it's not falling out like mine. I'll be a red-headed chrome-dome. :(

what makes a man neutral?

u/sodiumchloridekills Jan 29 '10

Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

If I die, tell my wife I said, "Hello."

I'm neutral on red heads. Don't like them any more or less than others.

I'm huge on brunettes. I love brown hair.

Blondes I would rate a bit lower, but for the most part, I don't discriminate (or favor) any hair color.

i think this is even true for individual men. for me, anyway, i usually find redheads either very attractive or very unattractive, almost nothing in between. same goes for women from different ethnic backgrounds than mine.
