Poll: Do you find ginger hair attractive?

[Samurai Silhouette]

Hello, escapist. Once again, I've come to ask of your humble opinions and to gain insight on a simple topic. Where I live, gingers have a social Stigma attached to them, they get bullied in school, at work and in public for no reason other than being ginger. Apart from this, I've seen men turn down women and women turn down men, simply for being ginger (well, that may not be the ONLY reason, but in most cases they were the reasons given.)

The poll asks a simple question, but feel free in your replies to discuss any feelings, opinions, or experiences of gingers being discriminated against because of their hair colour.

You know, throwing the pejorative around like that probably doesn't help the stigma. Try a term like redheads. It's kinda like calling obese people "fatties" when talking about the subject.

OT:
It all really depends on what kind of person they are.

I really have never thought about someone's hair versus their personality. Though I have multicolored hair so that might be why. /shrug I like ginger hair really. Most colors actually

I normally love women with short haircuts, but on a ginger.... Oh, god... long and curly makes me SQUEE!! I LOVE redheads.

"Ginger" is usually slang for unattractive red heads with fair skin and freckles (the freckles are an important part of being a "ginger").

Just like red hair, freckles can be a turn-off for some, and incredibly charming for others.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that these two things are what made someone unattractive. What I meant to say is a "ginger" is someone who is generally seen as unattractive and ALSO happens to have freckles, red hair, and pail skin.

People just want a wide variety of vocabulary to use when making fun of people. Waste of energy if you ask me.

Meh... I picked the mid option. Hair is hair. If you're attractive enough, it's whatever.

Ginger can be really pretty on a girl, but with me being a girl, I don't care for it much on guys. It can be okay, but I prefer blondes and dark browns over gingers.

I'm a sucker for red heads.

I only heard the term "ginger" around the time they started using it on South Park.

Well, on girls I think it looks great, but I'm not really all that big on girls. On guys, it reminds me too much of my brother's hair to find it attractive. I don't mind pale skin and freckles, since well, I have those. Anyway, I just generally like darker hair.

I've never understood why people hate it, it's so unique!
I am immediately attracted to redheaded girls, especially with pale skin.

edit:900th post, woo!

I don't know many red headed girls (I'm a 19 year old guy) but the few I do are all really attractive and I used to like one of em...

I dunno just my observations

 

[onewheeled]

Yeah, I'd say I find redheads to be attractive. There are exceptions, but the combination of red hair and pale skin tends to be pretty hot.

Not to mention the fact that I'm dating a ginger. She knows how much I love her hair, haha.
