I was visiting a friend over the weekend; he and his wife are both dark-haired Germans, their 3-year-old son is totally blond. It seems that children are often blond and become darker with age, e.g. a 30-year-old English woman I know is now brunette but was Swedishly blonde even in her early 20s.

I recall Juden Peterson talking once of “cuteness”, meaning big eyes and other features which soften the heart of most normal people. Not merely children but young animals (puppies, kittens, etc.) demonstrate the same “cuteness”. If one sees this as a purely evolutionary development – that creatures which don’t look “cute” as young children are more likely to be killed or abandoned – then blondness most likely has an objective quality, and is perceived as more interesting than dark hair for deep-seated biological reasons.

That is, God prefers blondes.
