BANGOR, Maine, USA, April 22, 2009 — Since time immemorial, poets, writers, journalists, social scientists, talk show hosts, you name them, have struggled and fought to answer the question that burns in men’s minds: Which shade of woman is preferred and why…Blondes or Brunettes? Are Blondes better lovers? Are Brunettes better suited in the boardroom? Can Blondes be trusted? Is a Brunette a better mate?

Blonde hair is unique in that it typically darkens with age. So a blonde woman gives the impression of being younger, more able to procreate. Theory has that men have subconsciously developed an attraction to mate with women who appear younger thus increasing the chances of having children. In northern climes, where survival of the species is paramount, one school of thought believes blondes developed genetically in order to attract more males therefore increase the odds of maintaining the species. Lighter eyes are a more desired trait as interest, such as in a male, is more easily seen in the pupil dilation (the signal of interest) of a blue eyed women versus those of a dark eyed one.

As early as the 14th century women were dying their hair lighter in order to look younger and become, they believed, more attractive. This is true in many traditionally dark haired areas of the world, example Latin America, where a lighter haired and skinned woman is more highly prized than her brunette counterpart…so they say.

However, studies have shown that corporate entities seem to favor brunettes as managers and executives as illustrated by the size of their paycheck over those of blondes. Another study espoused that brunettes are preferred by men as mates and are more trustworthy and loyal. If you want to have fun, go with a blonde. But marry a brunette...

Now Anastasia, the premiere resource for Western men to connect with women from Russia & CIS, is putting the controversy to the test.
