Many women who bleach their hair do drugs and never have kids because they're depressed and unhealthy, including Debbie Harry and Marylin Monroe
Pffft... I'm not a fan of drugs, but if anyone knows a really good way to spot women who don't want kids, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
However, even if you are not planning to have kids, or are planning to not have kids, the attraction you will feel for your eventual wife will be biologically based on her health and ability to bear children. Good health can only help for any other purpose including attraction.
Drugs are bad because they're expensive and this expense takes away from spending on food, paying off the house or getting a better car. Her druggie friends may burglarize the house, and she may catch a disease and in turn make you sick. Smoking and promiscuity are a particularly nasty combo because she may become infected with HPV, and the smoking may keep her immune system from fighting the virus, which infects more and more tissue and can severely disfigure, in addition to making you sick. And so on.
I don't mean to seem inappropriately biased against women who bleach their hair, but it occurred to me that I am in fact personally acquainted with a few who do this and they fit the stereotype of unhealthy habits, in addition to knowledge about the aforementioned celebrities. I wonder if the hair bleaching might be one of those unwritten social cues or a cultural thing that women may display to nonverbally signal their participation in unhealthy habits. Why would they want to advertise this?
