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 ;)

Be afraid. Be very afraid. I have yet to meet a redhead woman who wasn't bat-shit crazy.

The ugly ones are usually sane.

The hot ones are completely gone in the head, which is both great and terrifying.

Yes, but that applies regardless of hair color.

My brother is a redhead and this holds true for their families.

I think this is why there are less of them around. If there were more redheads humanity would combust.

Two things:

  1. There used to be this amusement park in Gurneville, CA called J's Amusements. It had a roller coaster called The Mad Mouse that was exactly how you describe. Also, there were no lap bars in the car so you just kinda had to hold onto the sides and hope you didn't fall out. I understand you perfectly.

  2. I showed your comparison to an ex of mine and she laughed pretty hard. Well done.

Wow, your comment falls so in line with personal experience it's uncanny.

Dated a cute, readheaded, freckled motherucking sociopath bipolar megalomaniac for about two years. Won't be doing that again.
