Five 20- to 22- yr.-old female confederates wore a wig with blonde, brown, or black hair. Each confederate was instructed to stand by the side of a road frequented by hitchhikers and hold out her thumb to catch a ride. Blonde hair, compared with brown hair or black hair, was associated with a small but significantly larger number of male drivers who stopped to offer a ride (18 vs 14%). No difference was found for those with brown and black hair (14 and 13%, respectively). No effect of hair color was found for female drivers who stopped. The greater attractiveness associated with blonde hair for women appears to explain these data.\" Photo: Wikimedia commons\/Roger McLassus Related content:<br>Discoblog: NCBI ROFL: Bust size and hitchhiking: a field study.<br>Discoblog: NCBI ROFL: Women's bust size and men's courtship solicitation.<br>Discoblog: NCBI ROFL: Eye Tracking of Men&rsquo;s Preferences for Female Breast Size and Areola Pigmentation.
