Are Blondes really Dumber?

Question

I happen to like brunettes.

Answer 1

Nope. Actually, I've noticed that anyone can be incredibly stupid. Hair color doesn't seem to factor in, but the number of times they've hit their heads does.

Answer 2

I like brunettes too cuz I am one lol. I don't think blondes are any dumber. I think blondes have the stereotype of being dingy so they play it up b/c they think that's what guys like.

People will play their roles to their advantage. Little women play off being 'cutesy.' (And I do apologize for describing it that way but I couldn't think of anything better.) Curvy women use their curves. Redheads act more fiery b/c it's generally expected. I think society expects blondes to be dumb, so they play into it to use it to their advantage. You have no idea what kind of advantage it gives you when someone thinks you're a lot less smart than you really are. I know cuz I'm pretty dingy, and as a result, some people think I'm kinduvan airhead. I had a 4.0 in college....but it's always lotsa fun when some guy thinks I'm dumb.

Answer 3

Sadly yes. However I don't think its genetic, its just a learned behaviour. Have you ever tried having an intelligent conversation with a blonde person?

A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner.

The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black.

The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes.

Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red.

Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time.

To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes.

The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?"

The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says,"That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"

Answer 4

nope sorry! Natural Blonde here, but it does help that people assume that. You'd be surprised what we can get away with. Did you ever think we are actually the more intelligent of the three major hair colors?? If we act stupid, we get what we want, and usually pretty easily. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with brunettes!

Answer 5

I could say that is a stereotype... But lately "Girls Next Door"
has prove me wrong.. Darn those girls are idiots... Not all blonds are stupid, some; like you to think that so they can play you.. Watch out and stick with brunettes, we have the right stuff:)

Answer 6

Hair color has nothing to do with intelligence. If anything, it's more those types who tend to think that they need to be mindless conformity sheep and dye their hair to the color which is most often considered to be the most "popular" by our society who prove to have detrimental intelligence...

Hey, if it worked for Verçengetorix and his "cheveux blond" that he dyed with lime juice, it's got to work for modern society too, right?! ... Right? Oh, wait... Not right. It's just hair.

I'm a natural blonde. It's fun to make blonde jokes about myself, such as reminding people not to expect me to be able to walk and write at the same time. I also call it "the sign of the salted earth" for heads... No brain grows beneath. Do I believe it? Obviously not. Is it good to stop taking myself so seriously now and again? Completely.

Answer 7

I think dyed blondes are..

But actually red heads are dumber, there's iron in them, and that's not too good for the smartness.

Answer 8

Only when we want to be, or can use it to our advantage. I've been both and my husband prefers me blonde so out of love for him I make a small sacrifice and keep my blonde tresses.

Answer 9

No. I like brunettes, too.

Answer 10

that depends from the blonde ;D

Some are really slow, but then so are some brunettes.
