Dark Black Hair with Blue Eyes: Do People Think It's Lovely?

Beauty, as the cliché goes, is in the eye of the beholder. But is it really true? Or are there stereotypes that men and women alike find attractive? Would a man or a woman with a combination of black hair and blue eyes catch your attention?

            The black hair with blue eyes combination is so rare that when a person who possesses this combination passes by, he or she will most likely get second looks. Most people also tend to say that it is genetically impossible to have a black hair with blue eyes combination. They tend to believe that people who have this look probably faked it by dying their hair or wearing contact lenses.

            Jake and Maggie Gyllenhall are obviously two of the most famous persons who have this unusual trait. They are undeniably attractive movie stars. But do ordinary people get the same attention and admiration as these two stars? I have scoured the internet to look for answers and below are what I’ve found.

Women with Black Hair and Blue Eyes

            People differ in their opinion about women who have this rare combination. Some of the opinions I have found on the net border on both extreme ends of the spectrum.

            In the internet, it is not uncommon to read queries of several women who are worried about their appearance’s supposed appeal. While the askers obviously suffer from image issues, what are interesting though are the people’s reactions and comments to their questions.

Some of the comments written by some people are especially harsh. Some people commented that this unusual combination of black hair and blue eyes look freakish to them. Others still upped the ante by saying that they will certainly look like a vampire especially if their skin is unnaturally pale. Others also dismiss this look as just being “gothic”.

            On the other end of the spectrum, men write that they are hopelessly attracted to women who have these traits. Even women agree and encourage women who have image issues to flaunt their assets. A reader even commented that because of the combination’s rarity, people can be very uncomfortable at first and react differently in both ways.

Men with Black Hair and Blue Eyes

            Unlike women who have these unique combinations, men with this trait receive more favorable responses amongst those who commented. The overwhelming positive response comes from teenagers and young adults who “dig” the thrasher and gothic look the black hair and blue eyes convey.

While a very unique occurrence among men, this does not make it a hurdle in attracting women. It is, in fact, the opposite. This unique combination tends to give men that oozing masculinity that women love. Also, women love the “brooding” look that this combination creates.

Personal Verdict

            People throughout history have found this rare combination of black hair and blue eyes as striking and very unnatural. As such, they tend to react in two very different ways. Personally, I admit that I am terribly attracted to women who have this trait. But in the long run, what really makes me decide if I like the person or not is that person’s attitude.
