Being blonde does not make oneself a slut right? Or did I miss the picture of a blonde in the dictionary under the definition blonde? I’m a blonde. Well… honestly, almost a natural blonde. I keep my hair color a lot lighter than my natural dark blonde by choice. But I’m a blonde, especially at heart, having at least three or more blonde moments a day, but I never really considered myself a slut.
About a year ago, I decided to deviate for fun and curiosity from my normal partial foil at my hair salon, and opted to become a brunette with a hint of red. Sadly, almost instantaneously, during both work and play, I was completely treated differently… not in a bad way though. I was treated much more seriously at work and people’s respect whether customer, peer, foe, or boss, went up. I don’t think my personality or how I conducted myself changed (at least I wasn’t aware of it). The thing that hit me the most though, was that when I was out at the bar and hit on by a random guy, I was being asked out on dates rather than being propositioned for a single one night of heated passion under the sheets with a complete stranger (A.K.A one-night-stand if you were wondering) like I had been as a blonde. I felt like the boys really wanted to connect with me on a deeper level other than just sex when I was sporting my darker locks. Now, I’m back to blonde, and it’s just way more me. I’ve been blonde at heart and in color for 23.5 years out of my 24 years on earth and that’s not something you can just change with a box of dye. I know we women are not supposed to be superficial or “into our looks” but honestly, I just feel prettier as a blonde and have more confidence and was glad to leave my “dark days” behind.
Don’t get me wrong with my rant about blondes being stereotyped as sluts. I probably fall into the definition of a slut. I’m not some prude. I love sex. I don’t have a problem with it. I don’t think there is anything wrong with a one-night-stand every now and then (just be safe). In fact, I think they are absolutely necessary sometimes for men and women and I’ve had my share (stories to come someday soon about my days on the rebound from my ex who I was with for 7 years…there’s some funny ones). But, my question is, why does simply being blonde automatically make a girl seem easy or not as intelligent as a brunette? We blondes are more than looks and a vagina. But, what do I know? After all I am a blonde!
