Why don't girls like guys with Ginger hair?

I've got Red hair and it seems to turn alot of girls off, especially if I'm with a girl and one of my friends makes a crack about me being a fire crotch.

Wehnever that topic comes up most girls seem to lose interest immediatley, as if my pubs are downright repulsive.

Just wondering why so many girls get turned off by guys with red hair.

personally, i love ginger men - my boyfriend is ginger and i am constantly amazed by the brilliance of his hair, (in all places)!

when you're at school, almost everyone is made fun of about something.... yes, ginger people seem to get it more, as it is an easy quip for a bully without imagination..... in 5 years, you will look back an laugh at these losers!

be proud of uniqueness - most people spend a fortune changing the colour of their unremarkable hair... you don't have to.

You shouldn't be worried about people that take the mick. I found that some of my friends had called me ginger behind my back (even though its very dark ginger)... and it turned out that they weren't so perfect themselves. One of my good mates had told me that one of their parents adopted retarded children while the other one never even knew his dad. It turns out that the people who will bully you, will have bigger problems than you. Like ginger hair is such a bad thing.... it isn't exactly the most important part of a person and people will take the piss, just to fit in or just to show off. Its amazing to see who girls will go for, the average guy who cares more about his hair than anything else. Girls will go for ginger lads and i think most girls secretly like them. They just don't bother with ginger lads, in case their mates will think anything different of them.

I'm a 15 year old guy with deep red, auburn hair. In the sun it can look a bit orange, and in the dark it looks a rich burgundy. Its very good on me, against my pale white porcelain skin. If i had a dollar for every time some ignorant guy called me a fire crotch, i'd be very wealthy. I LOVE my red hair, it defines who I am, it complements my face, yet so many are jealous. It is annoying to deal with insecure teens that think calling a red head a "fire crotch" is funny, but red pubes look much cleaner than black or brown, they are gross in my opinion. I'm only interested in red head woman, so I can have red head children. You should be proud to have red hair~

Well, it all depends. I have like... Auburn hair, and girls constantly compliment me on it (Also my eyes which are green). That's the only "ginger" part about me. Not to sound cocky, but a lot of girls think I'm cute because my actual face is good looking and I'm thin but not a stick. If you have freckles everywhere, a cheesy smile, and bright eye burning orange hair, you might be screwed.

hi im 16 and im a ginger girl.

now i have some confidence problems, like most girls, and sometimes i get worried that boys won't like me becasue im ginger. I get really embarrased when anyone talks about anything that is to do with people being ginger, even when its not about me but loads of my friends say that whenever they see a ginger person they think of me :) I think it makes us stand out and thats got to be a good thing. People are just jealous in my opinion and ginger people are meant to be firey ;) Most of the time i love being ginger and i think that us gingers just have to stink together. Go gingers, and i bet your just as fit as anyone:)

I don't think you should use your hair as an excuse for girls being put off. Many girls not all, but a lot don't really pay too much attention to hair colour as long as the appearance of the person is attractive looking.

I for one am a ginger, a girl but a ginger all the same and I think everybody has a preference of what type of person they are attracated to, many girls go for long, dark, tall guys whilst other girls may prefer short, styled, blond guys, this is just an individual preference of each person.

You mentioned about girls being repulsed by the fact that you have gingers pubes, well may I just state nobody really suits the colour of their pubes, pubes aren't a pretty thing to look at but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day because most people don't walk about with their pubes hanging out. If you are with a girl and perhaps she notices you have ginger pubes and is turned off then maybe she isn't the girl for you as for a girl to be so shallow and be turned off by a guy with ginger pubes then maybe she should take a long hard think about why she is even with a male, we are all born and when we hit puberty, yes we all get the dreaded pube hair I for one don't care about what colour of pubes a guy has as long as it is clean and they don't dye it or have none at all, these would indicate to me a very self - obsessed and little bit sad person so as for the pube dilema just warn the girl before and if she doesn't believe you then maybe you should ask her if she has ever noticed the hair you have on your head or if she has at all ever been educated. One good thing about being a ginger guy is that you won't get a hairy back, I for one would most definately prefer a guy with ginger pubes to a hairy back although this is my preference a lot of girls like something to grab on to.

I only hope this has boasted your confidence although I would like to point of the fact that you haven't got very good spelling, I mean pubes without the e, so to appear more attractive to women make sure you use proper spelling as I think your english is much more important just a tip.

Thanx for reading hope I've helped and just don't dwell on the fact that your ginger Embrace it, if you have more confidence girls will overlook the ginger hair and see you for being someone confident.

Who cares what natural colour hair someone has its not like the colour has a disease! I think teenagers who bag them out need to grow up seriously what about brown and blonde heads are they poo pubes? In that case id rather the fire pubes then the poo. I had an incredibly hot auburn/red head guy come to my work the other day and i couldnt stop looking at him, he had a good stocky/strong body good height and was very nice....some people will see a red head they think is ugly and will use it against all read heads..but that wouldnt happen with a brown or blonde its pathetic! You don't need to associate with such people their narrow minded and brainless

I am a redhead and I have a teenaged redheaded son. Redheads, we just stand out, and that scares a lot of people, so maybe some girls just are scared of how they will be the center of attention along with you if they are your date. We redheads all get crap growing up, and we can all react differently to that. I embraced the attention and learned to love my "redheaded" reputation and did all sort of things to stand out on purpose--I think that sort of reaction is part of our reputation as being high spirited. Others get shy and self conscious about it, and then embarassed about it, and those sort of reactions can really be a turn off. I would recommend reading about famous redheaded men--there are so many famous leaders and warriors--so you can be proud of your red heritage.

i personally am only attracted to guys with red hair, i think its stunning and the main attraction that i look for in a man. most my friends love it too, if a 16stone overweight man walked in......with red hair, i would be attracted to him. maybe its the individuality and how its so very original that attracts me to it, however when it comes to NOT being attracted to it, i havnt got a clue. Perhaps the typical steriotyping and the fact that it is so rare.

anyway, dont let it get you down. I love ginger hair, and im sure you will meet a woman soon who agrees with me.x

Response to the 13 year old girl on 6 March 2008:

Don't be sad you never had a bf. You're only 13.

I'm a 32 old ginger guy. If I could go back to the age of 13, I would do it immediately.

There was this girl in high school I had a crush on. It kept going on for years. There weren't a lot of opportunities to speak to her in private but I mainly didn't have the guts to approach her.

There was at least once she smiled at me when I stared at her.

She was beautiful and sweet and guess what, years later I found out she liked me to at the time. It was already too late, she was already taken.

I have been unlucky in finding a gf. Never had one. Either rejection, mutual feelings but something which put me off (for instance this Jesus-fan) or missed opportunities.

I recently started searching on the internet what people think of redheads. I was surprised. My negative thoughts were really so unjustified.

There's only a small percentage of people who 'hate' redheads. There's a much larger group who really digg it.

The largest group doesn't care for hair color. It's the personality that is important.

This new knowledge has really woken me up. I'm now proud of my hair. I do have to say that my hair seems to have become a bit less bright. BTW, hilarious comment from the guy on March 6 about the plane he could bring in with his hair :-D

I saw this pretty redhaired girl lately walking down the street. I didn't hesitate to give her a smile. She smiled back. :-)

Redheads are special. Be proud of it! I wasted many years of my life. Please don't make the same mistake!

If there's a guy you like, smile at him. You've got nothing to lose. If he smiles back, hell go after him!

Don't put much weight on negative comments. Those are really not important.

Oh, and here's another testiment that redheads are passionate. I've had countless fantasies of making extended love to a girl. I would love to go down on a girl and blow her mind. :-D

I also find the idea of making love to a redhaired girl very erotic.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (5 March 2008):

Ahhh,

I know how you feel/felt. As a guy with ginger hair I went through the same thing as you. But like a previous poster says it comes down to confidence, the real problem is people will tell you it's undesirable so you believe it, so then you don't take the chances when it comes to girls. As a red head with super bright pubes(I could bring a plane in wiv 'em)I got over that a long time ago and have had girls say to me that they go all gaga for red hair. And, frankly speaking, I have never had a long term gf that didnt tell me I was the best she ever had in bed, and they volunteered that information, I never asked. Endurance and passion are your genetic gift my son, use them well.

And if it really still does you're head in, then go to Asia, these girls love it here! It all geographical man. And as for your friends they are just being guys and trying to compete with you, the way around that is to already have a few back chat comments prepared to make them look silly, that'll change the girls mind.

Compliments I have had: 'I wish I looked like you'(from a black guy), 'we are all wilting roses compared to you'(from a very sexy chick), 'That was amazing!!!'(need I explain?). You may be like me, you only need to grow into your hair....but when you do you wont look back!

Hello!

I went out with a lad for two months and he had ginger hair but I really didn't care. what mattered to me was that he was nice and sweet towards me.

I told his friends to lay off the ''ginger'' joks because well it isn't very nice to make fun of someone jst because of his hair.

He broke up with me but we really are better off friends and because he broke up with me his friends started slagging him so he dyed his hair brown!

But believe me there is some girls out there who don't care about hair colour or appearance in the end its the inside that counts!

It may be a case of opposites attract for me.

Oh, and freckles are sexy! Hub gets them in the summer. I ended up marrying a blond because we're compatible in all the important areas of life but I would've been just as happy to have married a ginger man! I love ginger hair, especially on men! My sons hair range from dark brown/auburn in the winter to shades of auburn/strawberry blond tips in the summer.

Well, many females here say that hair color does not matter, but unluckily my experiences showed me the opposite. A friend of mine even told me that she detests all men with ginger hair (by the way, I got dark red hair like a hydrant so that was not very sensitive :-( ). Maybe that's kinda social darwinism, but for redheaded men it seems more difficult to find a girlfriend.

Good luck though and greetings from Germany.
