    Personally I think redheads are cuter, it’s an aesthetic driving evolution, like the pretty male birds. They also seem to be crazier, but evolution doesn’t care as long as reproduction happens. Happier in a world with redheads, nevertheless.

      I love redheads and I didn’t really understand the “ginger” hate in the US – just thought it was dumb exaggerated stuff. I moved (back) to the UK and so many people were like “gingers are disgusting” “hey lobut, ask Sam what colour his pubes are” … I’m like wtf is going on here, I don’t understand it?

      Some of my UK friends said it comes from the hatred of the Irish? Not sure why it’d be like that in the US though, it all seems weird to me.

        Speaking as a redhead who got bullied for it a bit in school, the south park episode really upped the hate when it came out and started the whole “gingers don’t have souls” line

      I’ve personally noticed that I am not attracted to red hair in itself but that I sometimes happened to be attracted to women with red hair, who had a slight correlation to certain physical characteristics (eye shape, face shape, and yeah, body type) that I found attractive. So it always seemed to me like being attracted to women despite their red hair, rather than because of their red hair.
