Stop going to cheesy, pretentious bars. That's the first step. Shallow, vain people tend to congregate together doing shallow, douche-y things. (Yes, women can be douchebags too.) Certainly there are bars or clubs in your area where laid back folks of all types and hair colors mingle and imbide alcoholic beverages and listen to great music and have interesting conversations that have nothing to do with how much money they make or what type of sports car they drive.
And, yes, tons of men like brunettes. Myself, for one. In fact, here are ten smart, talented, stupendously attractive brunettes.
1. Jennifer Connelly - Great actress and one of the most mind-meltingly hot women to ever grace the Earth.
2. Evangeline Lilly - Kate on "Lost." Proof that a former model can actually be a great actress.
3. Angelina Jolie - Up-and-coming actress you'll all be hearing a lot about soon.
4. Zooey Deschanel - Actress/singer/indie guy crush. Possessor of the most gorgeous puppy dog eyes in all of Hollywood.
5. Salma Hayek - There isn't a man alive, gay or straight, who doesn't find her attractive. She could probably bring an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, if given the chance.
6. Tina Fey - America's comedy sweetheart, and crush of geeky guys and gals everywhere.
7. Halle Berry - Sexy and talented, even though I'll never forgive her for Catwoman.
8. Rachel Maddow - Brilliant, funny, crush-worthy.
9. Adele - Gorgeous singer with a tremendous voice. YouTube her now.
10. Gabrielle Union - She's on FlashForward, and I literally cannot concentrate on the plot whenever she comes onscreen.
And there are so many more. The old "gentlemen prefer blondes, but they marry brunettes" saying is meaningless and old-timey. Some guys like blondes, some go for brunettes, some dig redheads. And many like them all.
So branch out. Steer clear of velvet rope clubs for a while. Follow the golden rule: If the place reeks of Red Bull and Axe body spray, run the other way.

Zooey Deschanel is one of the cutest people in the universe. Everything she does is awesome. (Can't wait for Volume 2 to come out, eeee.)
Well said, and not just because I'm a brunette. :D
Mila Kunis is my current creepy celebrity crush. Especially in Extract. My Gawd.
I've watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall many more times than I'd like to admit, all because of my unreasonable attraction to Mila Kunis. I'd go old school, pistols at dawn kind of thing, if it bought me a shot with her.
I accept your challenge.
How is Extract? I wanted to see it, but it came and went. I try to see every Mike Judge movie.
I would wager that the problem isn't your hair color... Hit the gym.
Bob Jenkins needs to get a hug. Bigger women are warmer hence better cuddling.
I would hands down go gay as gay can be for Salma Hyak. I am in love with her. She is by far the most beautiful woman on this planet.
This man prefers brunettes all the way.
I have three comments:
1. this question is a joke, written by a bot, published and submitted here, by a moron. explanation: if you don't like "shallowness" then you don't divide large groups of people into different color hair. and you don't ask someone on the web to "figure it out".
2. Nick Nadel is falling somewhere between "chic" and "geek"
explanation: he either, didn't read the question, just created one for himself because if he were those things, he wouldn't have graced it with an answer or he isn't so smart.
3. Anyone who makes a list like this and calls himself a "chic geek" and doesn't mention Neri Oxman.
Deserves to at least be pwned by me, a thoroughly "shameless" chic geek… call me up ladies.
Thanks, person who probably works for Neri Oxman!
Exactly.
And we answer real questions here. It's kinda what we do.
@Megan, AGREE with you girl! I would totally go gay for Salma too! In fact wanna come over? I have a huge poster of her hanging over my bed, we could fantasize about "going gay" with her as we lay in my bed, slowly… drifting…closer together… until we are one!
@Bob Jenkins, Show us your man-boobs honey!? post a pic of yourself, I dare you. I bet the last time you hit the gym it was leg-warmers and jazz shoes.
I wish I worked for Neri Oxman! All of that was in good fun lads. Keep up the good work. But you should definitely join me in my worship:

I'd also tap Drew Barrymore, Keri Russel, and Rachel Weisz.
hoooomg, rachel weisz. i saw pictures of her from the premiere of the lovely bones and was a little disturbed by how long i stared at them. wow. she is GORGEOUS.
Sorry man I don't find Salma Hayek attractive, but I can say I'm not a blonde man either. Raven haired beauties are my style. Brunettes and redheads are nice, too.
did you ever consider the possibility that you could be throwing off an "all you guys are shallow assholes, don't approach me" vibe? or do you let your unfounded hair color insecurities show? i feel like guys notice attitude most and want to be around someone who looks like she's having fun, so that they can also have more fun. you aren't enjoying your time at the bar, and your problem could just be that you're showing it. just smile!
maybe that's a vapid suggestion. i am a skinny blonde, after all. (wtf?)
I grew up as a blonde, then after living in New England for many years, my hair turned brunette. Now, I'm a redheaded, crystal blue-eyed (natural) siren by choice. I don't want to look like every other chick in the world, because I'm not like every other chick in the world. Trust me, men are hot for redheads, too. We just look like fun and the sexy, forbidden fruit, devil walking. Perhaps I should only speak for myself. :)
Moral of the story is, if a guy is only into skinny blondes with big boobs, whatever...NEXT...but, buy me a margarita on the rocks with salt and I'll saunter by these good looking guys just for fun to watch their jaws drop. Maybe it's like Amanda said above, "just smile". Ninety percent of sexiness is the confidence of knowing you're hot; regardless of what you look like. It's a dude magnet. Maybe that's what the skinny blondes with big boobs got that you do not.
Indeed, I've crushed on many a redhead in my day. Ginger power should not be underestimated.
I LOVE THIS!!!
I love this!! This is a great answer!
I agree, it's WHERE you go. Hair color...hellz no. Weight, maybe with some, but that'd be as as lame as blaming hair color. Unless your are literally obese, men like us women in all colors and sizes. I've met a couple guys in my life who will REFUSE to talk to a woman who doesn't have brown eyes, and they belong with that douchey type who flock to blondes.
Don't forget about Ariel, the mermaid from Disney's Mermaid Under Da Sea movie! She was so cute.
Yes, that's all. She also had a nice ass. So if you do, then you're good to go. But yeah, stop going to bars to meet guys. Try grocery stores, outdoor events like bbq's, potlucks, etc.
My personal preference is definitely for long, dark, mostly straight hair ... My favourite example is Sophia Bush -- not only for her having exactly the right look (in my opinion) -- but also (and this is far more important than having 'that' look) is her attitude and intellect. She can think critically and laterally (outside the box) and articulates her opinions clearly. As for her attitude, she is well balanced (neither conceited nor false in her humility), able to see the funny side of life and herself. She is also a have-a-go girl (not the spoiled princess type). Sophia has a great attitude and an intellect to match -- combined with her winning smile and THAT LOOK, she is my favourite celebrity ... BUT I STILL would NOT choose her unless we could really connect at all levels, in person, over time (we haven't even met yet).
Anyway, BRUNETTE is SEXY, but great attitude is #1 and intellect is #2, winning smile is #3 and "that look" is #4 ... But in the end, what I'm really looking for is mutual chemistry and how the whole package works together.
