Where are all the "Gingers" at?

Born a redhead, still a readhead. (I must say, I don't really care for the term "ginger" though...)
I'm not offended by it in any way, I think it's more because it's foreign to me. French is my main language (although I've been able to speak English fluently since I was 6) and although I've lived and worked in predominately English places (covering both Canada and even the US), until joining MFP (2 months ago), I had never heard the expression....and I'm 33! lol0 -
Howdy. Are daywalkers welcome? I have dark red hair with a red beard, but brown eyes and brown eyebrows.0

Lol... 'Daywalker'... Very clever I'd never heard it but then I've never been a South Park fan... Not a ginger either - just lurking :happy:0 -

My Grandparents were ginger, skipped my mom, I have ginger tendencies, less obvious the older I get. My daughter (15) and late son(16) were pure ginger.0

Another one to add to the party here!!
Seems we're not a dying breed after all0 -
Hi!
79 lbs! Way to go.
Thank you!!
chelleann, I read that was a myth. Other things I've read about redheads: redheads were once viewed as witches, redheads require more anesthesia, redheads feel more pain, and redheads have more sex....take that one blondes

Redhead born and bred. Now going a bit grey and trying to find a red dye with blond instead of brown! Being a redhead is so much a part of my identity, I can't let it go and go grey.
I have 4 kids and none are redheads *sigh* My sister is a brunette and she got 2 gingers. Looking around where I live, I don't believe we are dying out. It is crazy how many redheads live here.
As to the "less pain tolerance" myth, I saw them testing that on mythbusters and was floored. I had never heard it before! There are actual scientific studies proving that red headed women have a genetic link that makes them have a HIGHER pain threshold. I laughed when I read that because I always just thought my sisters were whiners!
The other thing I hear all the time is that reds bleed more. Every single time I walk into a hospital for any reason, they look at my hair and say, "Oh, you're gonna be a bleeder>"0 -

I know:) I just think its funny. I can't believe no one has mentioned the red heads all have horrible tempers myth;)0 -
I'm a ginger naturally, although I've dyed my hair for the past 5 years. It's back to being very red toned now though, I've missed it!0
