We all know that we are animal, but the majority of us forget about that just because we are able to rationalize things doesn’t mean we don’t act by instincts most part of the time.
In regard of the ritual of mating, we act more like animals than like we suspect.
Everybody who ever knows someone there is natural blonde-haired person, have the knowledge that the hair gets darker when you get older right?
So that said, as a male animal you would prefer the more fertile what means the younger female, what means the more blonde.
Well but that are some more thoughts into that, if someone bleach their hair, men actually think that person is trying to look younger. If you are trying to look younger is to the finality of get more attention of the males, so that said we can understand that all the researches said that men do not exactly prefer the blonde-haired women, but they think that the blonde-haired women are easier.
Oh my God!
Yes, they actually think that.
And that goes on and on as the men rating the blond women as dating potential, blondes and women with light brown hair were rated as “dateable,” but the raven-haired women were put in the “wife material” category. Even in the matter of professional field the women are taken more seriously when they are brunettes, the cause of that would be so that they look more serious, intelligent and arrogant. When the researchers interviewed men who they rated brunettes as more intelligent and attractive, but they look self-sufficient and arrogant. Maybe would be the fact that they look more mature, with the hair getting darker with age.
That said we get to a conclusion that the men prefer the blonde-haired women
because they are actually insecure of being able to conquer the brown-haired woman they do find attractive and self-sufficient. Therefore, some man actually go for the brunettes, probably because they get the guts or the balls for that.
Biologically saying blondes are usually slightly higher in estrogen than brunettes and are likely to exhibit other infantile sexually selected traits (indicating low levels of testosterone) that are considered desirable by males, for example finer facial features, smaller nose, smaller jaw, pointed chin, narrow shoulders, smooth skin and less body hair, and infantile behavior such as higher energy levels and playfulness.
Another possible reason for historically since the last ice age gentlemen preferring blondes is to assure their paternity. The genes for blue eyes and blonde hair are recessive, meaning both parents must have the genes for them to be expressed in their offspring, so they have some degree of certainty over fatherhood. This would also help to explain the existence of blond males. Blond hair in males does not correlate with estrogen levels as it does in females and blond hair in males is not a known indicator of fitness as it is in females, and females don’t select for physical appearance to the degree that men do. For a female to choose a blond male he must be able to deliver resources.
Blondes do not seem to have lost any of their popularity since the end of the last ice age. This would suggest that the selection pressures that shaped the standards of Western female beauty in the late-Paleolithic are still the same today, and it may well explain the attraction to blonde women.

What about the length?

The truth is that long hair triggers a primal, instinctive response within men. Feminine traits are attractive to men precisely because they are different and not masculine.
Nothing is quite so exquisitely feminine as long locks. Mermaids, Disney princesses, Renaissance paintings — all of these art forms depict women with flowing tresses.
Men like your long hair for the same reasons they like high heels and dresses, because it looks feminine. Men are visual creatures, as such; growing long, healthy hair signals a degree of commitment and responsibility, qualities that are both attractive to the opposite sex. Long hair conceals imperfection, so there is distraction to the eyes of men.
I have read some testimonies of women that have cut their hairs, and that are always the same reaction of the men and more antiquated people. They said, “You look masculine, is rater ugly. Are you lesbian?”
Well this kind of people are very loud, but that are a lot of men that actually likes short hair, and that has come from a testimony of a girl that tested it on date apps. It seems that having a short hair looks like some kind of threat to some man, rebellion on the old terms of femininity. Therefore, they think that this woman will not marry, have children, cook or will get more money than they do and so on.
However, there are increasingly more men that likes strong and rebellious women, or just that find it cute to have short hair.
Therefore, wherever is your style, just make sure is your style! Not a think you use to look more attractive, because you never know what kind of trouble you are attracting.
