Blondes don't have more fun!

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), May 29, 2009

THEY have a reputation for having the most fun, but blondes are more likely to have their romantic hopes crushed after a first date, a survey has found.

While a third of first dates in Britain end in "disaster", flaxen-haired hopefuls are a quarter more likely to have their dreams of true loved nipped in the bud than their brunette or red-headed counterparts.

Blondes are apparently the most likely of anyone to have attempted to seduce a first date with reminiscences about an ex, seen their judgement impaired by drinking too much, bed their date at the end of the night, and even forget the name of their would-be paramour.

A total of 1,300 people were surveyed by internet dating firm PARSHIP.

co.uk in an attempt to discover why so many first dates ended with both parties vowing never to cross paths again.

Of the 18 million first dates "enjoyed" by Britons every year, as many as six million never progress to a second date..
