Type casting
For years, I assumed that my type was of the dark hair, dark eyes variety; a fact of similar likes attracting. But, recently, I’ve been looking at a lot more blondes. Opposites attract, too, apparently.
They can have light-coloured hair, or highlights. The hair colour can be natural, or processed. And, they don’t have to be blonde, now - they could’ve been blonde years ago, in their younger days.
Why is that?
Blondes aren’t always better looking, or more youthful than brunettes. They’re not smarter, wiser, richer, etc. than their raven-haired counterparts. In fact, when it comes to sex appeal, those with dark hair usually have a leg up on their flaxen-haired competitors.
It’s not about the psychological hoo-ha of (natural) blondes being rare in the world (L’Oréal took care of that). It’s not about innocence and purity, and capturing the essence of youth. It’s not the halo effect that occurs when the sun hits their hair, and a soft glow of light frames their face.
It’s not any of these things, yet they still make me turn my head.
And, I don’t know why that happens.

What about brown hair? You should give us brown-haired boys a chance ;-)
"And, I don’t know why that happens."
...you need to get laid
I'm afraid that you have the same disease as I do.
You just love all the boys. All of them. (Well, most of them anyway).
Guys are just plain old hot and fun to look at.
I'm more partial to dark-hair with either blue, green, or grey eyes, I think. Something about that combination. That being said, I've also been attracted to blondes. I don't think it's a defining characteristic. After all, hot is hot no mater what the hair, eye, or skin colour.
Biology. The more genetically different someone is, the more likely you are to have healthy offspring. I think that is balanced by the more 'civilized' desire to have someone that you share common values with. It's always some freakin' balance thing.
I'll agree with Dantallion on the point of dark (brown or black) hair with light eyes (though, blue's my favorite). But I disagree that hot is hot; different people have different ideas of hot. I know that my idea of hot is probably really odd to most people (think "The Terminator": I find Michael Biehn to be much hotter than Arnold in that movie; that is, I like the skinny guys and I don't like guys to be too muscular).
I'm partial to red heads myself, but blonds do have an innocent young look about them generally for me.
Yeah yeah I am 25...lol NOT
Dark hair & chocolate brown eyes make me feel all...well no need to elaborate...
Some blondes are very nice looking though...xoxo
I always thought brunettes were hotter than blondes but I spent 32 years with a blonde. Now I'm with a brunette. Both equally hot. But if I live long enough I may try red heads.
