Just found this article online, do you identify with it?

Women with blonde or fair hair are more aggressive and determined to get their own way than brunettes or redheads, according to a new study.

Researchers claim that they are more likely to display a “warlike” streak because they attract more attention than other women and are used to getting their own way.

Women who dye their hair blonde quickly take on these attributes, experts found.

I always thought blondes were meant to be maternal and gentle compared to brunettes but not so sure now lol

Update:

Women with blonde or fair hair are more aggressive and determined to get their own way than brunettes or redheads, according to a new study.

Researchers claim that they are more likely to display a “warlike” streak because they attract more attention than other women and are used to getting their own way.

Women who dye their hair blonde quickly take on these attributes, experts found.

However, after "heated" negotiations (which involved many threats) researchers pointed out that the exception to the above was found to be Hayley Empress of Drama who was found to be maternal and serene at all times. ;)

I'm not sure I agree with them either.

The only "warlike/aggressive" woman I know has dark hair ... (not me I hasten to add!)

Part of the article says:

It showed that blondes were more likely to be treated better than other women and were more willing to “go to war”.

However, they were less likely than brunettes or redheads to get into a fight themselves - possibly to ensure they preserved their looks.
