As a Ginger female 19, I want to know if you guys actually find ginger unattractive.
I’ve been called many things in my life regarding being a red head some hurt full, some nice, and some inappropriate things. I wanna know what people in this world actually think of gingers cold truth.
I personally feel like hair color shouldn’t be a topic of discussion or be an insult.
Is it jealousy, is it fear, is it ugly, is it disgusting? What is it?
Is ginger really unattractive?

It’s not about the hair
I personally never cared about gingers, I did meet 2 ginger twins in HS and they were some chill & cool dudes. I did become friends with 1 ginger girl and she was weird I would call her more of a classmate rather than a friend. Overall I think Ginger’s are cool they just like any other person besides the natural hair color.
I do think whenever I see a ginger with freckles they fit into the flannel loving & country stereotype though, but that’s all
Your red hair is a beautiful part of what makes you, you. People who judge you for it don’t understand how unique and striking it is. Don’t let anyone hurtful words make you doubt your worth. You deserve to feel confident and proud of yourself, just as you are.
People will always talk, you shouldn’t live your life based on other people’s opinions
It‘s kids beeing idiots, sadly. Kids are ruthless and will pick on people beeing different (gingers are rare and tend to stand out) or just go make fun of what their friends are making fun of without giving it any more thought (group thinking). They dont know yet how hurtful it can be.
I really hope you didnt believe them too much. Gingers are just as gorgeous as any other. And there‘s plenty of people who actively prefer them.
Red hair is particularly attractive to me. Everyone likes different features, just got to find the right person.
Fuck no. Redheads are the best and that’s a ginger hill I’m willing to die on.
People often respond badly to anything that is different or uncommon. This is especially true of young people, who sometimes struggle with knowing how to talk to others or start a conversation.
In my opinion, red hair is the most beautiful color of hair you can have. Whenever I see someone with bright red hair, I am mesmerized and cannot take my eyes off of it because it is so beautiful. I grew up wishing I could have red hair to go with my green eyes.
I am so honored to share with you the greatest gift all of cinematic history: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. OP, go rent or buy it, it will make you so proud to be a redhead. And as a redheaded woman myself, you will learn quicker than you need to that red hair is HIGH on the list of most men in the world.
In the film The Physician, one of the main characters from the middle east dies dreaming his paradise will be filled with the redheaded women he was told existed there.
And of course, remember Dolly Parton taught us that Jolene had red hair 😉
And as for the ginger jokes, they truly are just jokes. Some responses I’ve given are, “I may not have a soul but at least I’ve got a brain” “Soulless but not heartless” etc. The jokes don’t even register anymore because I’m one of four redheads in my family and each of us has gotten endless compliments on our hair, so I attribute jokes to jealousy at this point.
And you should look up the redheaded festivals!
why is it called red hair when its orange
Ginger women are absolutely gorgeous! I’m assuming summer is quite expensive though
I think gingers are stunning.
There are more hair-dyed gingers than there are natural gingers, and people wouldn’t die their hair intentionally to a color that would make them unattractive. Lots of people prefer gingers.
I had a brief thing for redheaded guys. People are attractive or not for all sorts of reasons. Coloring doesn’t change that.
Red hair is super attractive wear it loud and proud
Well I know a lot of East Asian like ginger hair colour, go look at the popular anime characters a lot of them have light ginger hair, and most Easr Asian they end up with some orange based hair rather than blonde when they go lighter than a brunette
I was picked on a lot as a kid (flaming red hair) then treated as a desired fetish as an adult.
People suck.
Red hair is hot.
We all get judged by every possible characteristic.
I am rather fond of ginger ladies many others will be many will also dislike it don’t worry about it
From a fellow ginger
I think gingers are beautiful frfr
No. Gingers are sought out more than most women
People have stigmas against red heads bc genetically they are a rare trait so naturally, they will of course be singled out a lot in cultures where they have red haired people. I was reading somewhere that even the ancient Greeks believed that redheads would become vampires and come back to life after death. One of my first crushes when I was a young boy was for a redhead – so they have a special place in my heart.
I hear ya, fellow ginger here. The beauty of being a red head is we don’t go grey the way blondes and brunettes do, so that’s a plus. There are some people who find red heads very attractive and some who don’t, much like anything really. We do get picked on with the most imaginative names though: blood nut, blue, matchstick, tampon, fire truck. I don’t really think bring ginger is that big of a deal.
I love red hair. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t except gingers themselves.
Redheads are my fav!
It’s because we’re different. I genuinely didn’t like my hair colour until I was in my mid/late 20s. Luckily I didn’t dye my hair when I was younger and I’m glad I have the pictures to look back on with my natural fiery hair.
In the UK, they think it’s hilarious to hate on Redheads and I’ve even been beaten up for being one. So stupid.
Edit: when I STILL get the comment about no soul, I say that I personally don’t have one but I have a freckle for ever one that I’ve stole from someone 🫰
That’s the thing, calling a ginger those things is normal, does it mean you’re unattractive? No far from it
I know I like people with red hair. The way it shines in the sunlight is very pretty. I think red heads are very attractive.
I love a ginger woman…or man. Lol.
girl i literally dye my hair red because i love it so much 😭 i think it’s pretty, my wife thinks it’s pretty, everyone thinks it’s pretty!! people will hate on, sexualize, and/or make fun of quite literally anything and everything. you were born with it so how could it be bad??
It’s gotta be the most attractive.
Wear it with pride. It has ancient warrior heritage.
Actually, I never knew “ginger” was a thing until South Park. They said, “Ginger had no soul,” lol. I think it’s mostly popular culture picking something to go after. Back in the day, they targeted skin color, but that’s not considered “safe” to joke about anymore
so red hair became the next easiest target.
Hard Cold Truth. Ok.
Some men like it. Some don’t. Some men REALLY REALLY like it and can’t shut up about it.
I kind of like it myself. I was binge watching Extant on Netflix today. One of the characters is played by Grace Gummer. I loved her hair and freckles.
As a female, I love ginger hair and I use ginger hair for 2 years and I wish I have it permanently
The love of my life was a ginger. He was also a fluffy teddy bear…..hahaha…..had so much body hair he had a golden halo when he got out of the shower. Soft and fluffy. I adored him.
Doubt it
I’m a bloke and whilst I’m not full redhead my hair can be gingery enough that I will be called ginger and occasionally teased about it.
When I briefly used dating apps, the most popular photos were ones with lots of “ginger” hair and beard.
When I cut it short and it’s less gingery it seems to be less popular. Oh well I prefer it short so suck to be me if I want a partner I suppose 🤣
When it comes to women there isn’t like one trait that always puts me off, it’s how they work together more than anything. There are plenty of incredibly attractive people with red hair. In fact seeing as it’s a relatively rare colour and lots of ginger people are attractive, I’d say if anything having red hair means (in my eyes at least) you’re more likely to be attractive.
Red hair does seem to be pretty popular though from people I’ve talked to and this thread.
The thing is, people will find anything to be dicks about and things like hair colour are an easy target. If someone’s being a dick about your hair colour then it really says more about them than you. They clearly don’t know you well enough to criticise you because if they did they wouldn’t go for something as ridiculous as hair colour. And if they do know you well and the only thing they can criticise about you is your hair colour then well that’s pretty dam good! Imagine you killed children or something, they’d be able to eat you alive but no, all they can do is point out your hair is red.
It’s just the poorest attempt at insulting someone really, I’d be more offended at the lack of effort. I’d go excuse me?? I once pushed an old lady with a trolley and you’re worrying about my hair colour?? I’m a fucking menace to society I’ll have you know!
No
My Celebrity Clause is Karen Gillan… She is stunning!
Lush on women…… But when I see ginger men I feel sorry for them
Red haired women are definitely very attractive. I personally have dated “ginger” women many times. I love freckles and the hair. The whole package is amazing to me.
People talk shit about literally anything. If it’s guys we will make fun of each other in really hurtful ways about anything we hone in on. It’s not usually meant to be hurtful but if you hear it from the outside it definitely can seem that way. Also if you are not comfortable with this it can be very hurtful.
Do not take this bullshit seriously. People are mean so fuck’em. Own your shit and be happy!
I actively prefer red hair.
I dye my hair ginger, it’s a beautiful hair colour and you are blessed to have it naturally, give it time you’ll grow to love it. People often hate because of jealousy.
It’s not any different than any other hair color. Hair color alone doesn’t matter much. It’s usually the combo of hair color, eye color complexion, etc that makes someone more or less attractive. I’ve seen gingers that are downright stunning.
People are jealous , have superstitions that they were witches, that they were unlucky and evil, which is utter horseshit.
Stay your fabulous redheaded self and let the haters wallow in their wrongness.
It’s the most attractive haircolor imo
I’ll catch diwnvotes for this but I’m either fuckin super into ginger women or super not. When they’re attractive my fuck it’s heart stopping. When they’re not I see Eric Cartman dressed as a ginger. One of my best friends is one and we break each other’s balls all the time as I’m short compared to him. You’re obviously only going to really get affirmation here in this thread but attractiveness is purely subjective.
I love gingers
I am a fellow ginger female myself. I am now in my forties.
I too have experienced being called all sort of names due to being a redhead and being told in many direct and indirect ways that red hair and the skin complexion that accompanies that just isn’t beautiful nor attractive.
That kind of rhetoric though was more common when I was younger (childhood, teenage years, early twenties) and today I rarely hear it. As an adult, I have seen women who degrated me for being a redhead in my youth pay ridiculous amounts of money at the hair dressers to have their hair dyed red (and it still looks fake)
The same women who demeaned me for my pale complexion now express jealousy on how great my skin looks (I have been taking care of my skin my entire life with sun creams with high SPF due to me being so sensitive to the sunlight and due to that I don’t have as many wrinkles nor sun damage as them)
My husband who is dark skin African loves my pale complexion and my red hair and we both adore the contrasts our skin and hair have when we are side by side.
So my advice to you my young fellow ginger is to just love your looks, take care of your skin and in a few years you’ll notice the insults disappear and be replaced by jealousy.
Never particularly liked gingers until I saw Cameron Monaghan playing the Joker. Before the Joker went insane, of course in the movie.
Red hair on women, pretty. Red hair on men, not so much. At least that’s the pattern I’ve noticed.
redheads are the best. end of the conversation.
I think red heads are so hot
Hell no. Gingers are hot.
The hair isn’t the problem, but rather the mind. Most gingers are psychologically different from the norm, with many studies to confirm it.
Red hair can be beautiful. I think the bullying about red hair is just teasing that goes too far. No one really cares about hair colour.
Im not even kidding when i say this – red hair is the most beautiful feature ever. like human genetics really cooked with that. It’s just really lovely, I hope you love your ginger hair <3 i honestly wish i was born with those features

Red hair women are gorgeous.
my husband is especially into me BECAUSE I am ginger! It actually is one of the very few physical things I get complimented about me. People tend to really like it, or be kinda jealous because they wish they had it too. its all a matter of personal preference!
For me, redheads, when attractive are SUPER attractive. But it seems like the odds of a redhead being attractive are lower.
And I’m sure the data doesn’t support it.
But when I think back to high school (my school had about 1,000 people), there weren’t any good looking redheads imo.
There’s a stereotype for every occasion! You should ask blondes about the jokes aimed their way.
Ignore the haters… Most people have a preference, and red hair is pretty high on the list for many.
More than anything though, confidence sells. A redhead who rocks it is hard to beat.
Red heads are my absolute favorite!!! Also… Ginny Weasley??? ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
Absolute inappropriate Joke incoming – I apologize: Copper roof, wet cellar!
So no, it is quite the opposite – at least here in Germany. Do get red haired people bullied in school? Yes. But this just stops with being an adult.
Red hair blue eyes combo is probably the most attractive duo the human being can pull out. If you don’t have legs and arms but you have that combo you still have a decent chance.
I love red hair and freckles.
No
It’s just considered cool to make fun of gingers for some reason. IRL though, I don’t think people actually have any problem with it (I think ginger girls are hot but I am also a hetero female so take my opinion with a grain of salt).
Redheaded girls are S+ tier in my personal attractiveness tier list.
I love redheads. Bonus points for freckles.
I love red hair. Always wished I had it.
I love red hair. I wish I had it. My mom, two brothers, a niece, and a granddaughter are all redheads. I’m jealous of them.
Did you know that redheads are rare? Only 1% to 2% of the world’s population has red hair. That’s because in order to have red hair, you have to have the recessive MC1R gene and get it from both parents. Even though both of my parents had the gene, giving them two red headed sons, only two of their eight kids had red hair. My mother had red hair, as did two of her three sisters, but none of her three brothers.
Consider yourself a rarity! You are special. You are unique. Red hair is gorgeous!
Unattractive? No.
Gingers are not unattractive. Most people have a preference against it, for whatever reason I do not know. Personally, I love ginger people. You all have beautiful hair and eyes, and the texture of your hair can vary depending on the person, as can your eye colors, but it’s all cool. Some of you match your red hair with being absolute firecrackers in the best of ways.
I’m a woman and I’ve always found gingers very attractive, both male and females. My husband is even a ginger.
Its attractive in my opinion, since I dont see many so they are the most eye catching to me too :3
I find them extremely attractive…
Why do people ask these low self-esteem ahh questions? If we all told you that yes, in fact, gingers are hideous, what exactly are you gonna do about it?
Are you going to un-ginger yourself?
f 17, i find ginger people really attractive! i honestly think the uniqeness (i cant spell lol) is very charming!
I find ginger girls very attractive
No it’s not. It’s actually really attractive to me. I don’t get why people consider it unattractive.
Omg gingers are gorgeous. I personally really like it. It’s a feature.
Personally my hair is porous so in the summer I have dark brown hair and my ends turn a blondish red color I don’t really like it but I also never dye it and my bf likes it so it cool!
Now as for other people I have found certain red heads attractive I usually go for tall dark & attractive but it really boils down to personality and integrity I’m sure you are beautiful 🌹
People pick on any trait that can be named. It’s less fun to say “your nose shape is vaguely bad” and easier to say “ginger” or “botox lip” or something like that. None of that stuff is actually bad or frowned upon, it’s just a defining feature for you and that’s why it’s picked on.
Female here.
But I did have a boyfriend once who love loved it when I dyed my hair red.
