What is the BLONDEST neighborhood south of 96th?

Your question isn't as dumb as it is weird.

Are we talking natural blond or blonde, or normal blond or blonde (as in from a bottle)?

First of all, congrats on having a blond, turtle bay trophy wife; he must feel good that you feel so proud. But, Hol4, I think this question should be directed to w67th, who gives this kind of holistic, touchy-feely, lifestyle advice.

Huh?! I must be too blonde to get this one.

My natural hair color is very dark brown, but I've been highlighting my hair for so long that when my real color starts peeking in, it's a little scary. My guess would be that your SO would feel comfortable in any neighborhood where many young women reside. I live on the UES and have occasionally seen blond trophy wives shopping on Madison Avenue, but most of the neighborhood is very brunette with highlights.

if you plan on knocking her up, she'll fit in perfectly on the UWS (regardless of hair color)

sorry, i see SO is a HE. I'm not sure which neighborhood is most accepting of a blond, pregnant man.

to answer question, trophy hubby is real blond and it puts others off (whether jealousy, just playful jabs, or visceral hate for whatever reason)

he has a very ideal/naive mindset (from midwest after all) where everyone gets along together, and he gets a bit sad when NY bashes his golden locks.

i tell him most of it is sarcasm and playfulness but it gets to him.

i don't wanna move to some surf town in CA, so maybe a neighborhood change might help him (and me, regarding back to headboard bashing sex when he's not down)

i'm thinking just south of MePa where it turns into WV? the 'nabe seems to trendy/contrived for my taste but i figure blonds congregate their for a night out at the least?

uwsmom, I also missed that the SO is a he.

What's wrong with Omaha? I hear the corn is very good there.

The blondest neighborhood in NY is the Times Square area, where you can find many tourists from the Midwest, Deep South, and Northern Europe.

pjc, yes that's why i said west side..higher proportion of tourists, but im looking for regular local blonds who he'll run into on regularly..grocery/gym/shopping etc

miami beach

To my knowledge, there are no regular, local blondes in any meaningful amount in any neighborhood in NYC. I think your blonde beau will just have to learn how to be a minority among many minorities. Or dye his hair dark brown and disguise himself as a native.

Chicago!

Luv blondes

but will he be lucid and capable of carrying on a conversation while grocery shopping/gym/etc. or will he most likely suffer from a concussion from all the headboard bashing sex? important to think about hol4.

Seriously, if he's comfortable, you and your SO might consider spending some time walking around various NYC neighborhoods and see if he gets any reaction from strangers. I find that living on the UES amongst many families and older couples that most people keep their comments to themselves and don't want to engage with strangers. As a suggestion, maybe Carnegie Hill which is a preppy, affluent neighborhood might be a good fit.

I have nothing against blonds, and I don't really think many other people in NY do either.

But there's something just WRONG about natural blonds who are adults. It's just too ridiculous. Can you get him to wear a hat of some sort (but not a golf visor, which would just focus the problem? Or get him to just bleach his hair so he can admit that it's not actually natural?

And just why is he naturally blond as an adult? Have you asked him that?

alanh - seriously? i think it works better on aging women than men.

Wait, are you honestly worried your SO will get hassled on the street/in the subway/at the supermarket/wherever because he's BLOND? Are you kidding me? This is New York. We're jaded. Unless he's walking around with a neon swastika tattooed on his forehead no one's gonna look twice.

Alan, you are correct that it's ridiculous for a grown man to still be tow-headed, but did you consider that he may be albino or even some form of Swedish? Be polite, and do not point, stare or snicker at the pigmentationally-challenged among us, or else hol4 may not get any action in bed.

Also, I know this is an anonymous discussion board and that sarcasm is a birthright in NYC, but there are more delicate phrases than "but SO isn't smart enough to understand" if O is indeed S to you.

I know it's been warm, but is it April 1st already?

well, hol4, if SO is blond, pregnant, and suffering a concussion (in which case he'll most likely forget his golf visor), the two of you may want to stick to the West 70's. Should be safe there.
Good luck ;)

My sister is a blonde, but she lives on Long Island.

That's where they all go.

but DON'T send him into Fairway. Maybe Pioneer...maybe.....

I would like to believe that most NYers would know not to equate the suffering of people of color with hair color...

"suffering of people of color" - How lame and pathetic.

What nation or race hasn't suffered during their history? Well, if they haven't yet, it's only a matter of time until their time is up....

An Irishman, a Mexican and a blond were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage. If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building."

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

The blond opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

The next day the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito and jumped, too.

The blond opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"

The Mexican's wife also wept and said,"I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

Everyone turned and stared at the blond's wife.

"Hey, don't look at me," she said. "He makes his own lunch."

There is a lot of Blonde dominican chicketas in the LES

Does the carpet match the drapes?

Post a picture and we'll tell you where to put him.

"There is a lot of Blonde dominican chicketas in the LES"

How's about, "There are..." and "chiquitas"?

rivas, the real question is, "Does my lipstick match my shoes?"

Whatever neighborhood you end up in, watch out. The cliche is true. Blonds have more fun.

Bottle blonds have more fun.
Gentlemen prefer bottle blonds (in Hanes)

lo888, please don't request picture posting immediately following a carpet/drapes post. Thank you.

If this issue truly bothers him, he MUST be a dumb blonde. (wink) If this really is an issue for him & you're not just having us all on, I'd help him work out some snappy retorts; are these people still in second grade, giving somebody grief about their haircolor? Geez, F'em! I worked with a guy who blonded his hair but then for some reason he started using a darker color; his response was, "I was having too much fun!" I did read an article once about the blondes in the East 70s being the JUST SO color but I can't really speak for how many of those blondes there are.

P.S. You might want to rent that film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, it was cute; unless of course he's hetero & even the title would make him nervous. ;-)

What?!? Since when is being blonde a demographic group?

Why would the title "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" make him nervous if he's hetero? It's not as if the title is "Bachelors Prefer Blondes".

Staten Island is south of 96th Street.

As is Antarctica.

How about THE ARYAN, a condominium for blondes and their admirers?..amenities -- I won't go there

"I'm not sure which neighborhood is most accepting of a blond, pregnant man."

Times Sq of course

WTF?

I'ma blond bombshell below. Feeeeeels soooooooooooo gooooooooood.

I propose OP's post might qualify for dumbest post ever.

blonds don't give head... it's true... except for Marlene in 8th grade... but she was a "dirty" blond....

Bah dah bah.

w67thstreet:

Did she get fleas?

How did this resolve itself? Not Marlene, I mean hol4.

I've never heard of this problem here in N.Y.C. before.

Your guy is handsome -- girls and gays will check him out. No matter what hair color he has. No matter what neighborhood.

This is Manhattan. Everybody is checking each other out, in various ways: Furtive glances on the street, head-turned double-takers, and even some back-walkers.

Is he getting whistled at? Cat-calls?

Be proud and smile, smile, smile. He's going home with you.

It's not blond haters. They are admiring him. This messes with his head in bed?!

I like blonde... but what's with these midwestern fat girls who dye their hair basically white? With dark roots showing.

Is your goal to look completely unnatural?

It's hard to encouter true blondes north of the cape may ferry actually.

I am a natural adult blonde and I live in the East Village. I have never felt any blonde hate.

Probably upper east side 5th and Park avenue ladies.

But not the ones on Madison?

The money is on 5th and Park.

I took a walk up 5th,and back down Park.

Kept my eyes open for the money. Somebody else must have got there first, and scooped it up.

I once found a saw-buck on East 58th street.

My friend once found a fin on East 71st street.

Maybe the money was faded because it's so old.

Where was I 5 months ago when this thread was created?

W'Burg, Greenpoint & Bushwick.

Wow, mutombonyc, you really did the Grand Tour 5 months ago!

alanfart,

Get a life.
