Are Blondes Truly Dumb?

Featured Replies

Admit it, we've all heard one of those terrible blonde jokes. But are they really that dumb? I am sure these didnt start from nothing. There is always truth in rumours.

A more pertinent question may be:

 

"Are non blondes really that jealous of blondes?"

 

Apparently - "Elvis' hair color was originally blonde. He dyed it black because he was a big fan of Roy Orbison"

Blond women arent dumb, dumb blond women are dumb.

Blond woman eh?

If they are I think it would be sociological rather then genetic. I know blonds who act stupid because it's expected of them and they can get away with it when really the don't need to. Very frustrating really.

 

Although in that sense I suppose they wouldn't actually be 'dumb' in the strictest manner, they would just be acting like it.

I don't believe there is any correlation or relaton between hair color and mind power. There are always exceptions to generalizaions.

No there are not any blonds in my AP classes... but I know a few smart ones.

There's also the tendency of stupid people to dye their hair blonde.

Or, as I have observed, the common and irritating habit of going into a reduced effort "low power mode" because - for whatever reason - blokes go out of their way to help more often.

Many blondes act dumb because society has conditioned them to believe they need to act a certian way, so they do. There are many blondes (like myself) who, although brought up in north american culture, don't feel the need to buy into such bullsh*t...Take Jessica Simpson for example, she is a huge media figure and acts like a complete idiot, and unfortuantly she is blonde, so there you go, another "dumb blonde" to add to the list(Jessica Simpson by the way is an embarrassment to women, blondes and humanity in general and should be instantly killed) Also you'll find that its mostly north american blondes that act so goddamn stupid most of the time, take a trip to europe and you'll find that the general behavior of blonde women is very different from what you're used to. Blonde women overseas are generally much more mature and don't act like morons. So you see its not about genetics, but more so about culture, up-bringing and of course, mental conditioning. You might as well ask the question "are all men a bunch of stupid slobs?" thats another populare american stereo-type, and because it exists, there will always be men who incorporate it...but men are not inherently stupid slobs, just like blondes are not inherently dumb.

 

By the way, why oh why is this "dumb blonde" crap only applied to women????

Well, if a blond bloke simpered and giggled in an attempt to gain sympathy and help from people with work; they would look like a freak.

and If I ever saw a blonde female giggling and simpering in order to gain sympathy I would smack her hard and tell her to quit making a fool of herself.

You are a girl however, the effect is one I've only ever seen work on guys. For a long post I had written in another forum one girl actually IMed a mate of mine and got him to read the whole thing outloud over voice-chat because she couldn't read the whole thing. I feel sorry for her in some ways, for her at least it stems from insecurity and she falls back on it. Bit of a self defeating tactic though as she'll never actually learn how to overcome her confidence issues by falling back on nonsense like this.

come to think of it. i have never met a dumb blonde

I`ll go with post #7

 

I`ve never noticed any common trait of lesser (or greater) mental capabilities with any particular hair color either.

that applies to skin color and eye color also :)

Aardvark...you silly wanker, get it right, anyone who has met dumb blondes should be pitied. If you enjoy meeting idiots, what does that say about you? :D

Anyone who has never met a dumb blonde must have a seriously limited social life. In which case i pity them.

 

Perhaps you should try and get out some more?

Ah yes, cute cute, and of course, anyone who chooses to associate with "dumb blondes" or dim-witted people and pities those who don't, must have a seriously dull and boring social life. By the way I get out plenty, thanks for your concern. :P

Hey I know, let's combat baseless generalisations by making generalisations about the people who made the original generalisations.

 

GENIUS.

Like so:

 

People are always sarcastic and annoying when people say that people who say that blonds are dumb actually have a boring social life themselves.

In other words, giving someone a taste of they're own medicine. There are always two ways to look at these things.

Only two? There has to be more than that. Did you include diagonals?

My post was more to do with "pot, kettle" than generalisations. Top marks for paying attention.
