Blondes may be the preferable choice of gentlemen but when it comes to women, James Bond has a weakness for brunettes, a research about 007's love life says.

The ideal Bond girl is likely to have long dark hair, an American accent and usually carries a weapon, according to experts.


The findings were reached by a team who studied the physical traits of all 195 female characters in the first 20 Bond movies, then contrasted the characteristics of the 98 who had "sexual contact" with Bond with those of the 97 who did not, the Telegraph reported.



The research, which was published in the journal 'Sex Roles', examines how Bond girls have changed over the years besides exploring what kind of women end up in the super spy's arms.

According to the research, only 27 per cent of the women were blondes, compared with 40 per cent with black hair, 19 per cent brown and nine per cent red.

Those with dark hair were more likely to get intimate with Bond. The 18 per cent of women who had long hair were more likely to end up in a sexual situation with 007 than the 22 per cent who had short hair.

Only a quarter of the women in the films had an American accent, but those that did were more likely to have a sexual relationship with the British spy than the 43 per cent who had a European accent of some kind.
