The dateable podcast features real stories from real people of how they make modern dating work or not.

Each episode will not only offer you a new perspective on dating, but will also change the way you date.

I'm your host, U.A. former dating coach turned dating

sociologist. You'll also hear commentary from my producer Julie Kraftchik and

other surprise co-host. Hey everyone! host.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Datable, a show all about modern dating. We've talked about Jingers before with a co-host.

His name was Aaron. He loved

gingers. That was his thing, right? But we haven't gone into this topic that

deep yet. So our guest today, Jack, is going to tell us about what it's like to be a ginger and also to date as a ginger.

Hi Jack, how are you? Hi, I'm great and I'm happy to be your first ginger on the podcast.

Very exciting. So Julie early in the day did a quick Google search, so she did the auto film, you know, when you

type in on Google and she wrote, do gingersingers and this is what popped up do

gingers have blue eyes do gingers go bald do gingers go gray do gingers feel more

pain have rights do gingers tan Do they get gray hair? Do they bleed more? Wow.

Wow.

These were the auto fills on Google. I mean, I think every good research project should start with

just auto fill on Google because that gives you so many different directions

so many different directions of what people are searching for on the internet about

gingers specifically so before we get to your experience we want to talk about some of the studies have been done about gingers and dating. So according to a study published in psychology studies found that men who have had red hair aren't treated the same as their blonde or brown hair counterparts.

So they have this experiment where they put men in different colored wigs to see who women would approach more and the men who were in red wigs were rejected the most and only 13.8% of them got women to dance with them on the dance floor while men with black locks led the group with 35% success rate.

This was also a similar problem for their lady counterparts as well. So what is interesting about this whole topic is that it's a little bit about, it's like to me it's very similar to racial identity, but to others it could be similar to your body identity, your body issues, how you see yourself physically.

Jack, what do you think about what we just talked about? You're in your mid 30 30s you've lived in San Francisco for three years
