"But now that I'm a blonde, guys are so blatant about coming on to me"
About this Quote
The subtext is a quiet indictment of the male gaze as both lazy and opportunistic. “Now that I’m a blonde” frames desire as less about who she is and more about what she’s signaling in a culture trained to treat blondness as shorthand for sexual availability, friendliness, and approachability. That stereotype has a long, tacky pop lineage (from pin-up archetypes to sitcom tropes), and Prepon’s phrasing subtly exposes how quickly men reach for it. She doesn’t say men are more interested; she says they’re more blatant. That’s about tactics and boundaries, not romance.
As an actress, she’s also talking from inside the image factory. Hair is branding in Hollywood; a dye job can re-route the kind of roles you’re offered and the kind of street-level interaction you endure. The quote captures a depressing continuity between casting logic and everyday harassment: the same visual shorthand that gets you booked can also get you bothered, loudly, by strangers who feel newly invited.
