About redheads
Redheads often face unique challenges, including unwanted comments, stereotypes, and constant attention. Many people dislike being redheaded because social biases and misunderstandings can affect their self-esteem. This article explores why some redheads feel targeted and how these experiences shape their identity and self-perception.
I spent many years of my life changing my hair color every week, much to the horror of my hairdresser. As a self-confessed commitment-phobe, I never gave myself the chance to really like a color before moving on to the next one on the chart. I tried just about every color possible. However, I had bright Red Hair About 4 years now. I agree that this color choice is not for the faint of heart.
Being a redhead is bound to attract crazy people.
These problems, unfortunately, are compounded by a host of weirdos. There are many myths about redheads, and believe me, strangers would be happy to discuss them with you if given the chance.
People ask if your carpet matches your drapes, literally. You’re out drinking with your friends, minding your own business, and next thing you know a guy asks you the color of your pubic hair right in front of you – I’ve never had that happen to me, any other color of pubic hair I’ve never had. Which brings me to my next point: “What carpet” is not a good response – ever! Really, trust me, never.
You will be touched, and as someone who doesn’t like to be touched, this bothers me greatly.
Man at the bar: “Can I touch it?”
I don’t.”
Me: “Dude, no…and you’re still touching me.”
Does personal space suddenly no longer matter?
The petting is followed by a few stupid questions: Is it true? What? My hair? Yes. The color? No. Can you touch it? No. Can you call me Red? No. (Even though you answer, your new nickname will always be Red) Oh, you always wanted to have sex with a red-haired girl? That’s great. Please go away.
This is when you’re angry and people think you’re grumpy, even if you’re not. If you’re grumpy, people think your hair is making you grumpy. Yes, the dye magically seeps into my skull and makes me perpetually angry, and that’s not your bullshit problem.
People will think you’re a freak in bed, will ask you about your sexuality, I might be a freak in bed, I might be a piece of crap… you never know. Just go the fuck away man.
Did you know that in the Middle Ages, red hair was a symbol of moral depravity and strong sexual desire?
If you see a natural redhead out there, know that they will now automatically hate you, especially if you’re confronting perverts at a bar. You’ll find that because natural redheads have seen you receive positive attention from men for your hair color since birth and have been mercilessly teased for it throughout adolescence, natural redheads everywhere now hate you – don’t even bother trying.
As a Fake As a redhead, you will never be ridiculed like people with natural red hair, you will never be given names like “ginger” and “ranga”, and you can still keep your soul, win!
Red hair and blue eyes are like the rarest combination in the world – I’m a walking anomaly and apparently every man wants to be better than me. #WERK!
People compare you to Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Yes, I totally agree. You can touch my hair. What rug? Didn’t you just say you wanted to have sex with a red-haired woman?
So basically, to sum it up, if you choose to join the red camp, be prepared to be touched a lot, be prepared for a lot of people to tell you that they always wanted fuck redhead —To be honest, I was not prepared for this. There were too many people.
So, if you want to be a redhead – go for it and be the object of everyone’s desire!
