I recently went blonde leaving my natural dark hair. Since I've gone blonde, I've had more men talk to me, ask me out, and I got offered 2 jobs out of 2 interviews that I went on. I know this may seem "trollish" which is fine but I think my hair color did make the difference!

The more men yes, the job, probably the added confidence from the attention.

It's kind of shocking how much attractive appearance influences job prospects, though.

Physical attractiveness pays all sorts of dividends. That's just the way the world works.

Shouldn't this be in the beauty section or something?

I'm glad to hear that the change in your hair color brought you more confidence.

Sorry! Meant to edit my title ....to me"!! I realize this won't work for everyone!!

I don't think the hair color made me more confident. For the 2 jobs I went on, I had maybe 4-6 people interview me. For the first one, half were men and the women were blondes. For the other one, it was half men and 1 woman was blonde.

It may. You never know. I am blonde, and get no special treatment. So, I plan to go red, and have some surgery done lol

Looks can make a difference. Blonde apparently is a good look for you.

The joke, I think I looked better as a brunette! I just wanted to look like a different person (I'm approaching 301!).

LOL at surgery. I hear you

My hair was red and black for a while.

Didn't change anything. Guys would still hit on me the same way they always did, didn't really do much with jobs.

Edit:
Just saw your profile pic...awww you're cute. Hahaha!

Blonde does look good on you.
