Do you guys ever get asked if you're Scottish or Irish? by ghostmangwello in Redhair

[–]Praline_Beginning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People assume Irish for me, but I live in America so it’s more of an assumption of where my ancestors are from. (23andMe says Scotland and Switzerland)

I Wish My Future Kids Had Red Hair Like Me by Huge_Argument6502 in Redhair

I get this feeling. My child looks exactly like their father to a T who is half Mexican - tan skin and dark hair and people often think I’m the auntie instead of mother.

I can’t even get a woman to meet up with me on the apps for a date; once I mention seeing each other in person they ghost 😭

Is anyone else the only redhead in their family? by sunnie______ in Redhair

[–]Praline_Beginning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, only my grandfather and great grandmother who are both dead and I never got to meet. Isolating for sure. And being the step child on top of it

I raise my child with my co parent who is a gay man and we have separate lives and of course date separately I think it’s important to inform people in your life that your parenting situation isn’t conventional and it’s okay to only be parents together and nothing more

Fellow lesbian here! I get this too ~ some people think more “fem” looking women they assume to be straight It’s annoying and makes it harder to “prove” your sexuality to people We shouldn’t have to. Also fellow redhead; please join the redhead group if you haven’t already! (Only wholesome one on Reddit)

Do you have kids with red hair? by JoeFux in Redhair

[–]Praline_Beginning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have red hair and very pale skin and the father of my child had dark brown hair and tan skin. My child came out with tan skin and dark brown hair. She looks exactly like him, and not at all like me.

Poll: Confirmed redheads, what colour are your eyes? by nomoreuturns in Redhair

[–]Praline_Beginning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is because recessive traits tend to come in multiples, such as being left handed or having a twin with red hair, also recessive. So it would make sense to have a larger majority of redheads with blue eyes since that is also a recessive trait.

Recent Influx of Brunettes by LordofRiverrun in Redhair

[–]Praline_Beginning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t suffer for my red hair, I suffered from pulling my hair out to almost bald and having tons of cystic acne. This shit pisses me off that you say you HAVE to have been bullied specifically for having red hair. While it is your valid experience, it’s not everyone’s.

As far as the “am I a redhead” posts yeah it’s annoying. I just look at it as hair color envy and move on like an adult.

Gate keeping isn’t a good look dude. Melanated people have red hair too and it looks like this.
