| stof said: The preoccupation with hair colour never ceases to amaze me. To me it would be like asking: what kinds of women do you prefer, left handed or right handed. I'm sure I could choose if I had to, I just can't figure out what the big deal is. |
It's funny because on a total buzz kill I have come to think of it as a natural fascination/attraction.
The species is stronger if it diversifies its genes, so we are often attracted to different combinations. At the same time we have a natural tendency to associate with those who are like us, because in ancient times this would be good to survival (the one's that would group up and protect one another would survive and procreate).
It's also human nature to desire the oppisite sex, and discussing it with others of the same gender helps us find and keep a mate/spouse, through courting techniques, relationship practices, and building confidence.
When you combine these ideas it becomes quite obvious why males and females are going to talk to their own gender about the apperances and practices of their own gender and of the opposite sex.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
