Re: are blondes really dumb

chainsaw, hi, well, in truth, that really depends on who you ask..like anything else. But in this case, that is the stereotypical mentality because radiant blonde- haired girls are perceived to have the most fun, because, in general, they get the most attention from guys and in turn, get asked out a lot. Same goes for blonde-haired guys.

On the other hand, most people critical of blondes are the ones that does NOT get asked out as often as the obvious-looking bright-color blondes. In effect, you could say these non-blondes are VERY JEALOUS of all the attention blondes are getting. And that is the way non-blondes do to "get even" with the blondes. Since blondes are having so much fun, they will probably not think about school work as much.

But of course, that is not true. I happened to know and used to go out with a lot of blondes who were actually quite brainy, even nerdy I might add ;D

Re: are blondes really dumb

Its a term to put people down, and de-value the person. I more or less agree with what the other person replied to this question.

But why did having blond hair become negative?
Women making themselves conform to stereotypes is perceived by certain groups as 'dumb'. The stereotyped good-looking woman in USA is, what? you tell me. Barbie-doll type looking women, ie. bleached-blond, little or no body hair, whatever.
Feminists from the 1960's were angry not only at the barriers they faced in society, but at the lack of political thinking among the women they perceived to be down-trodden by the patriarchy (literally, 'male-rule'). So women who call other women 'dumb-blond' may be doing it in disdain, because they think she looks like she is trying to conform to expectations, to do what men want, rather than being herself... or spending her time making a larger contribution to the world than merely her own beauty, or the attraction of approval from others. Feminists believe that women are more than that.
Women from wealthy social strata now have access to information/education and more options in life, and can simultaneously have responsibility and respect in the home or at the workplace, so we now have these powerful wealthy women cruising around with blond hair.
But "Dumb blond" can still conjure up connotations of uneducated, sexually available women in stereotypical roles, who only care about getting a man or being pretty. Its unfair for people to label women of being like this, its derogatory.
On the other hand, I'm blond and I've always thought blond jokes are quite funny. But I'm quite secure, and I imagine it could hurt some peoples' feelings.

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa. " Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer.

Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00. The blonde says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
--------------------------
Collateral
A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blond replies......................"Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Hey the joke for lawyer...I think that lawyer must be a blonde guy/girl...hehehe

Elina...it is not the question that who ask blondes girls more...it is the question of common sense...Obviously that school kids don;t have much understanding and so they like blonde girl...but in reality man like brunettes much more...
