Why gay men dye their hair platinum blonde?

Literally every gay man I know had their hair dyed platinum blonde at least once but I never understood the appeal

OP You clearly have had limited exposure to gay men, or your definition is somewhat circumscribed.

I did it when I was in my early 20s (including my eyebrows and arm hair) but chickened-out and brought some brown color a few days later.

*Literally* every gay man you know?

I want to know the answer too

OP, we should meet. I’m a gay man and I’ve never dyed my hair platinum blond. Seems like you’re a little sheltered and need to meet more people.

Blonds are perceived as younger and more attractive, consequently all bottoms go through the bleached blond phase.

I don't know what you're talking about

You cannot "dye" your hair from dark to blonde. Dye is additive, not subtractive. To go from dark to light, there is a two-step process: you bleach to lighten/remove the existing color, then use a toner to correct unwanted yellow/orange tones.

Maybe it's the swamp in which OP wallows as I've never seen any platinum-blond dyed homos in my neck of the woods.

Maybe if you take off the MAGA hat and get out into the world more you will see a more diverse group of human beings, R9. Just a suggestion.

Never dyed my hair platinum blonde or any other color. Gold star gay here!

Does that include the frosted tips on spiky hair that was all the rage in the 90's?

Maybe they get bored of their hair color and want to switch it up.

It's almost summer, time for the terrible trend to rear its ugly head. 95% of bleach blonde guys look awful

OP is a stupid girl.

Come on. We’re more likely than anyone to know stylists who want to do this kind of thing. It’s just throwing money at friends.

I’ve noticed a lot of purpled silver as well as hamster orange.

Plus, we’re getting asymmetric bob cuts with neo punk overtones.

Also, I see much less of that cool gloss look and much more of the woolly poodle look.

My first boyf wanted me to be a blonde. When we met I was just back from a holiday in Hawaii and I was tanned and my brown hair was sun-streaked. The brown grew back but he begged me go to blonde. His best friend was a hair stylist and she gave me blonde highlights because I wasn't going to go full-on blonde. I grew my hair quite long but the brown came back, and I eventually got a buzzcut, which my boyf hated. We eventually broke up and I found out he had been seeing a blonde guy on the side, who became his new boyf.
