None taken; why would it bother me when someone says something about me is disgusting? Jerk.
My advice to my fellow red-heads is to develop a thick skin on the subject of the desirability of red hair. Like pacifcfiveoh, there are those who simply do not like it and will find you thoroughly unattractive for no other reason, perhaps, than the color of your hair (True, "disgusting" was not the most polite choice of words. He made an apology, and I accept it.) Disliking red hair is their right, since when it comes to aethetics (sexual or otherwise), there can no right or wrong.
I have always found that for as many people there are who find me undesirable because of my red hair, there are at least as many on the other end of the spectrum who find me desirable for no other reason, perhaps, than my red hair. Like a lot of things that are not in the main stream, it is a sword that swings both ways. With, because of, or despite my red hair, I have never felt deprived of ample companionship or willing sexual partners, so I am not hurting. Irish, I've seen your pics, and I doubt that you're hurting, either.
This is life.
