Electerrific Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Red or ginger hair has long been associated with people who have fiery tempers, famous examples include Henry VIII, Boudica (supposedly) and Elizabeth I. My own grandad had blondish-red hair and did show a temper on occasion. But is it pure myth, stereotype and coincidence? Or is there a definite link?

Lobos Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My family on my Mom's side are all gingers the lot of them are all nutters and will fight at the drop of a hat every family do we have they are guaranteed to have a punch up,my Grandad god bless him was a right handful when he had a few beers in him, I was lucky I have the dark hair from my dad's side,my Lad has dark hair like the wife but his beard is ginger when he doesn't have a shave for a few days.I dont think its always the case though as my best mate was ginger he was nothing like that he was a very sensitive easy going guy.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I have always liked the look of ginger hair and black hair on women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It is nonsense. I have a ginger beard and dark blond hair and you can throw a hell of a lot at me before I show my temper. According to my wife I need more of a temper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I do find orange haired peoples to be quick tempered, particularly women, although I think it's more to do with Viking genes than anything to do with Pigmentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
