Are blondes REALLY dumb?

[Zac]

I was wondering im blonde and im not dumb right..?

Talk about the title :) Im curious

[benjamin]

well, in my brother's girlfriend case; yes.

[Dan2nd]

Sisters friend is blonde shes pretty dumb... she can speak french though...

[cocaine]

I dont know if I count as blond cos I was born blonde but I turned brunette.

[dirrty]

just a sterotypical view. like not all blondes are dumb. and like teenagers are all yobs. thats not true either. just someone sterotyping

[Caution]

I think they are, yes.

Basically, more intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair (source (http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Do-Smart-People-Have-More-Zinc-and-Copper-in-Their-Hair?&id=128143)). Blonde hair, in general has less zinc and copper in it and more magnesium, hence the stereotype of blondes being 'dumb'.

No, how can your hair colour have an effect on your knowledge? Stupid question.

Technically it can, read my above post.

[-Soph-]

Not all of them..

i'm sure there are just as many brunnettes, redheads and every other colour of hair which are just as dumb.

[Caution]

a bit stupid someone being smarter or dumber just because of their hair colour.

[Neversoft]

Technically it can, read my above post.

I still think it makes no difference.

[dirrty]

I still think it makes no difference.
I agree
How can hair colour make a difference on your knowledge. What next, the darker your skin is, the more stupid you are :s

[Luckyrare]

In my case I wouldnt say so, I am in top sets for 90% of my lessons.

[N!ck]

I still think it makes no difference.

Well if people have researched into it and found that smarter people tend to have more zinc and copper in their hair, and when they look closely at blonde hair and realise it has less zinc and copper in it than other hair colours...

It doesn't mean it is true in all cases though.

[nets]

I don't think there's any relation between natural hair colour and intelligence.

When doing a Google search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=zinc+copper+intelligence+hair), in my opinion, it doesn't look to be much of a "commonly known fact".

Good luck.

Blondes act dum sometimes. They aren't all thick.

Kinda dumb question to ask? :P

Nah...erm dunno? You do get some really stupid ones thought but suppose theres brunettes/redheads that are just as bad.

[summer]

nah it's just a stereotype.

[Starburst..x]

Blondes are dumb, obviously some can be, but just as many brunettes or red heads can be dumb. Stupidity depends on the person, not the hair colour.

[uh huh her]

I dont know if I count as blond cos I was born blonde but I turned brunette.
^^^^
& i dont consider myself dumb.

Actually, I heard it of someone before and I searched it in Google to check weather I could find any evidence.


Good luck.

I believe you misread the way I wrote that sentence ;).

[clarissa !!]

err i dont think so. people just take more notice when a blonde person acts thick.

[kasi]

3/4ths of the blondes i know are stupid.

[emobusters]

bottle blondes are usually the dumb ones.

[BobX]

"Are blondes really dumb?" ... No but they sure are good lookin half the time ;]

[lSander]

My mum is blond, but she ain't dumb, so no, blonds ain't dumb.

[Grindie]

I'm a blonde boy, I go to a grammar school xD

[Tash.]

In my experience, the blonde people I know act up on the stereotype to gain attention. Mainly from lads.. and 90% of the time it works :rolleyes: So basically, blondes are given this stereotype more & more because some people feel the need to fit into it.

Would it make a difference if there was a girl with blonde hair witch you thought was 'good lookin' and she had a clone EXACLY the same but with Brown/Red hair would you think the same..? Im just curious

They'd be just as fit, but cause blondes are blondes, probably got for the blonde!

A bit what?

Actually, I think there stereotype came from the age of models. When supermodels etc came poping up in the mid 1900's, most of them dyed their hair blonde, and as we know, the stereotype for models is that they are dumb. So it kinda transfered over. I dont think the stereotype came from the amound of zinc in your hair.

[sarey]

I was born blonde.. im not dumb.. i think :o

Its just a sterotypical thing...

[Grindie]

Ok, well, i'm blonde, i'm intelligent, but people say I have no common sense ^_^
