What caused her to say this? The fact that I have red hair and a cleft chin. Evidently two rare, less than 1.0% of the world's population for either and I am sure much less in combination.
Doing a quick bit of searching I find she is somewhat correct. Geneticists are saying there is going to be a massive reduction in the number of redheads by 2060 to 2100.
I guess I really am unique. A dying breed.
Her manner of speaking lead me to infer that she thought having red hair and a cleft chin were positive things. And that rarely seems to be the case. Heck, even I find 80% of most redheads totally unattractive. I think I've only ever even kissed one.
Are there specific groups that have a thing for redheads????
My neighbors that are gay used to tease me when I worked at the UCSD in North Park to watch out as there is a large subculture in their community who digs red hair. I've also had a large number of black women compliment me on my hair color. I don't understand it.....
What do you think??????
Nor do I get the , "Oh, you're Irish huh?" comments. Scotland has the largest percentage of their population, 13%, as red heads. But I know my genetic history.
This is the genesis of my red hair, Norwegian vikings.
Not this.
There are web pages devoted to the love of people with red hair. :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother and father (and a few uncles have it). It skipped me. :: sigh:: I've always been jealous.
Honestly, I never was much into red hair until about 2003. I dated two redheads before I met you, and I think it prepared me.
ReplyDeleteNow I adore your tresses (if short hair can be called "tresses"). And your cleft chin reminds me of Cary Grant.
Wow! I'm a redhead with a cleft chin as well. And my ancestors, though they lived in what is now part of Scotland, were also Norwegian Vikings. We are probably related.
ReplyDeleteI DO get tons of redhead fetishists. Be glad you don't. It gets really old really fast.
