The colour of love

There are several ways men define themselves. Wealth, religion, rugby team, there are a thousand lines on which to divide men. None, though, are more important than the age-old question “Are you a boob man or an ass man?” Thus is the way men define the key feature they look for in a woman.

Research has shown, however, that there is one thing ALL men like in a woman and, unfortunately, it’s pretty rare.

Red hair.

There is perhaps no colour with the same strength of association as red which has often been intrinsically tied to power and status. It is also commonly thought of as the colour of passion and sensuality. Psyhological research has shown that if the same picture of a woman is shown against two backgrounds, one white and one red, she will be considered more attractive in the red photos. Men have also been shone to give higher tips to waitresses wearing red.

The research is clear, red really is the hottest colour. So if you’re struggling to decide in the hair dye aisle, reach for red.
