If they are so helpless and daffy they are said to be, why does everyone want to dye their hair blonde?

That is just a stereotype.....if you look around, you will find that the amount of dumb and helpless people do not all have blonde hair. Hair color cannot determine someones intelligence...I've seen my share of dumb people and yes, some were blonde, but not all of them. One thing I think is funny is when a guy tells me a "dumb blonde joke" and he has blonde hair too, ok and I'm the blonde. In my opinion, I have seen some blondes that really get pulled into all the jokes and usually set their own selves up for it, but then usually their the ones that have no confidence in who they are, and lack of confidence will show through your personality not your hair color.

No, there are daffy and helpless people of all color, not specificaly blondes. But here's a good joke for laughs:
A guy is sitting next to a blonde in a diner. She is reading a newspaper and crying hysterically.
The headline reads "Twelve Brazilian Soldiers Killed in Avalanche."
She turns to him and through her sobs asks, "How many is a brazilian?"

As blonde myself, I would have to say no. I am well read, have experienced a lot of the world, travel alone without the aid of an assistant or a man, and feel it is with a great deal of effort, that the "dumb" blondes are the ones who are truly the ones with dark roots. They just end up lightening their hair to match the stereotype. Sorry not intended to offend, simple observations.

No... the helpless and daffy ones are the ones who are not natural blondes, and act helpless and daffy because they think that men will then see them as sex objects.
And THAT decision IS pretty DUMB.
Hence.... dumb blondes.

I would have to say no because there are so many blondes out there that are not natural blondes yet they act totally daffy.

It may appear that way because the ones that do behave the way you've described are constantly in the public eye i.e. Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, etc.
So basically, it's really just a cliched stereotype.
Although the irony being that most girls who play "dumb" aren't even blondes to start with!

No, My manager at my first job was a blonde with blues eyes and she was very educated and a hardass for the rules. I've met many blondes sinse and they have been very smart. I think the dumb blondes are mostly the bleach blondes who thinks blondes have more fun.

No, blonde is just a haircolor. People are individuals. Some are more intelligent than others and some use their looks (blonde hair, for example) to manipulate others. They act the way they are expected to act.

I am a bloke (man) and never ever thought that, this is simply stereotyping, there's no genetic or otehrwise link between the colour of the hair and intelligence, so beware.
By the way this would probably mean that all brunettes are clever, think now, do you think this is true, according to your personal life.
