Would you take a brunette more serious than a blonde?

Speaking generally, probably. It very much depends on how they carry themselves though. Women themselves claim blondes get more attention... and it's not the "serious" kind if you know what I mean.

I might look a little more credibly on a girl displaying her natural color is all. If she's got the mindset to freaking waste all that time and energy dying her damn hair for negligible superficial gains, then, in my mind, I have cause to call her overall efficiency of thinking into question.

Lola, your brunette pic is grainy and the coloring of the pic is not high quality enough for people to see you clearly. This may skew your results. Between the two pics, your blond look is clearly better. Additionally, I think you show enough intelligent thought and consideration to others that will allow people to take you seriously no matter how you look.

I take natural girls more seriously than those with unnatural colorings or extra distractions. Average natural beauty is far more attractive than artificial. This includes hair color, small or no earrings, no makeup, no nail polish, natural breasts, no piercings, and no tattoos. This is because hair coloring destroys the hair, makeup creates a mask that I do not want to get close with and it destroys the skin, earrings stretch those cute little ear lobes, nail polish yellows the nails, while natural breasts have the proper texture and "squishiness". To me, a natural appearance displays good health and intelligence, or possibly a conservative lifestyle that I perceive as a intelligence.
 
I don?t know you personally but I see a very open, warm and pretty person. I do like you better as a blond because your complexion suits it better. It?s not your fault but I can understand why you could intimidate any won who has self image problems.
 
I wouldn't treat either differently just because of their hair color, only because of ones personality.

My wife is (natural) blonde and by no means your typical "dumb blonde" and she hates how people always associate the two.
 
As long as you don't sound like an idiot or ditz when you talk, hair colour makes no difference to me. If my BS detector goes off, I won't take you seriously.
 
It sounds to me like you have a problem being yourself.

Why do you feel the need to change things about your physical appearance to please others? If you were confident in yourself as a person these things wouldn't matter so much. It's all rather superficial. 92
 
Hair color is irrelevant to me. However, if I see an obviously fake tan (especially chemically produced ones) it sets off an alarm in my head. The ones that have a yellow or orange tinge to them make me think I'm speaking to a carrot.

Thanks all, i was not sure about the color and am always happy and willing to go back and forth from one color to another.

The husband did not care either way, but to be honest, i liked being blonde, it was just time for a change... perhaps i will add more highlights next month. 🙂

anyways, i know it is always in the way one carries themselves, bust still, i was curious.

go red for a bit (and post pics then too).
 
it depends on how the person talks, gestures, acts. If too ditzy, doesnt matter the hair color...

btw, blonde fits you better imo, but brunette isn't bad.
 
If she is clearly competent in whatever she's been hired to do, then hair color is irrelevant. Gender too, for that matter. If a guy acts like he has half a brain my respect for him would go down the drain just as fast.
 
I have to agree.. Blonde suits you way more than that other color..

It shouldnt make a difference at work though... or in life for that matter...

edit: BTW since everyone is so honest around here, that pic of you at the baby shower doesnt do you ANY justice... And I dont think its just the hair... No offense or anything, you know you are hot but something about that pic is just wrong...

 
Personally, I think personality matters more than anything. And, you looked hotter as a blonde. :heart:

(But don't tell iamwiz 😱)
 
all i know is that if you are in banking, your bank would probably win a lot more businesses if you are a hot blonde. it's just how the line of work is.

I have noticed on several occasions that the way one looks in the work place has an effect on how others see them.

I never EVER wear provocative clothing, yet serveral times i have found women saying they did not like me (even before getting to know me) because they were "threatened" by me. I have talked to other gals that have had this same thing happen.
