Why does the colour red mess with men's head?

Red: Not an everyday colour now is it? Although most of us possess something red in our wardrobe, we don’t always have the guts to wear it. Is it because red is the colour for those who dare to wear it? Easy to notice and hard to ignore.

Red screams‘LOOK AT ME’.

So why does Red mess with Men’s Head?

To a certain extent it is biological…

Some research show that the color red makes men feels more passionate towards women but are unaware of the role the colour plays in their attraction. Although men know they are uncontrollably drawn to ladies in red, they are unsure why that is. In fact studies in this matter have been unable to come up with a valid explanation. It is however clear that it is instinctive that men are fascinated by the colour red and men's response to red more likely stems from deeper biological roots.

Research has shown that nonhuman male primates are predominantly attracted to females displaying red. As much as men might like to think that they respond to women in a thoughtful, sophisticated manner, it appears that at least to some degree, their preferences and predilections are, primitive and instinctive.

So it seems that a lady in Red to a man is like a red rag to a bull, and most certainly will receive a red-carpet treatment.

Similarly society influences the connotations attached to the colour. In some cultures, certain shades of red are used to symbolize anger, sin and evil but also aggression, passion and love.

There is no question that the colours you wear are an extension of your personality -- an unspoken but clear message to the rest of the world. For instance, the message you send by driving a vehicle that is Vibrant Red: Sexy, speedy, high-energy, and dynamic. Hence why, although a Ferrari looks just as good in yellow, you are more likely to get one in red.
In the same way if you dye your hair red, I doubt you are looking to blend in; evidently you are looking to make a statement.

I know more girls who would choose not to wear a red item. Personally, I stay away from red lipstick because it makes my lips appear fuller and although fuller lips are natural sign of womanhood, I am too conscious of the signal I may be sending out, and i talk myself out of it.

 

Turns out, we are guilty of not being able to control our lust for shoes, but the collection is incomplete without a sexy pair of red stilettos. Likewise every girl owns a little black dress, and I think there should be a little red dress right behind it. Nothing should stop us from indulging into them privately.

This weekend, dare to wear something Red and watch the heads turn. Go on girls, after all, we all deserve some attention from time to time.
