Peroxide Pays!

The diagram above is the graphical representation of the adage that blondes have more fun! This is probably because, outside of Northern Europe, blondes are pretty rare. The vast majority of native Asians, Africans, Australians, North and South Americans have dark hair. This makes the blonde seem very exotic and therefore desirable. So, the blonde will get far more attention from the opposite gender and thus will tend to have more fun. Or then again, maybe it is just because they are easier to see in the dark of the pub/club/night!!

Funnily enough, this does not seem to work with being ginger. That tends to be seen as more of a novelty in foreign lands and a handicap nearer to home!!! Apparently, about 1% of the human race is afflicted with red hair, most of them descended from the Celts of Ireland and Scotland!

I have no empirical evidence for sorting the other hair colours in order of fun quotient. However, going by the logic above, it is reasonable to assume that, ginger aside, the lighter your hair colour, the more fun you're likely to have!

As most people's hair tends to darken as they age, does this mean that you have less fun as you grow older? This might correlate with the fact that you have the most fun when you're a carefree child, but then you have to grow up, get a job, mortgage etc. Then, when you start getting lighter again (by going grey), chances are that the house is mostly paid off, the kids have almost flown the coop, retirement beckons and the good times can roll again! Now there's a theory!
