While discussing physical characteristics and interperonal attraction in
the Social Psych segment,it was noted that some middle-east men
seem to have a specific attraction for blondes.As a matter of fact,one of
my students mentioned that while she and others were on a tour of the
Middle-East,the men would select the blonde women in her group for special
attention and favors.And that one even proposed buying a blonde friend
for a certain amount of camels.
How can this affinity for blondes be explained?
I have also observed the same with the Greeks and Italian affinity.
One reason that pops up is that blonde is so rare in the Middle-East that
it becomes a prized object.
There is also the illusion that the blonde represents the quintessential
European woman.
