I, myself am a natural brunnette,and all I have ever hear from others, is how much prettier, better, more popular and overall more confident blondes are.

I was not stating that brunettes are not as sexy as blondes, but rather, that is all I ever hear, from society in general. Now, please don’t spread this “dumb brunette” thing around, you’re going to give us a worse rep than the blondes have right now! lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~>Most boys don’t getattracted to brunettes… my boys do…..

I, myself am a natural brunnette,and all I have ever hear from others, is how much prettier, better, more popular and overall more confident blondes are. Well… I’m sorry to say, I’m pretty and confident. And Overall…. I’m popular. So wutz the peoples problem? I’m getting closer n closer to brunettes every day and edging away from blondes who say “I’m blonde and I have more fun than you” I’m speaking directly to you, Chelsea DeLong. Earlier today you mentioned, “It’s scientificly proven that Blondes have more fun than Brunettes. They stick out and have tunz of fun. Get real and get dye if your life is sooo cool.” I’m sorry Chelsea but dye won’t do it for me. I have a cool life cool friends and the coolest hair color. No one can ever take away my proudness of being a ‘dumb brunette’. That’s how it’ll remain. I’m representing my brunette friends, and I’m sticking with them. We have fun! We have a life! And blonde hair duz not make it that way! I have brunette colored hair! I AM A PROUD DUMB BRUNETTE!

That is my point! Did you get all that? I don’t think I did…But i wrote it…o well…

Also if what Carol says is true:

“The stereotype of the DumbSlutBlonde was actually created by the DumbSlutBleachedBrunette. If you ignore the false name these women use you will see that the dumbslut profile matches exactly with the well-known attitudes, behaviors and actions of Bleached Brunettes.”

I would like to ask her, how she can so hypocritically condemn the stereotyping of blondes while stereotyping those brunettes who dye thier hair blonde. Dying your hair ANY color shouldn’t leave you open to an attack, and it most certainly does not automatically determine your I.Q. Grow up. (If that’s possible in your lifetime.)

To those who are pretentious enogh to think that all brunettes wish to dye thier some ugly blonde color need to get in touch with reality. I love my dark hair, and I wouldn’t dye it a blonde color, because I am beautiful just the way I am.
But if I did, I would certainly not be some “bleach bottle brunette” or whatever other insulting stereotpye anyone has for people who dye thier hair. And if anyone forced me to call myself that, I would reloish the oppurtunity to kick thier teeth in to the back of thier miniscule sized skull.

Remember, stereotypes are for the mentally challenged among us, who cannot fathom the thought process to form an opinion any other way.

(Don’t worry, that wasn’t another blonde joke.)

Not that there’s any shortage….

besides, all the blondes out there are dyed blondes? bleached blondes always come off looking trashy, in my opinion

The stereotype of the DumbSlutBlonde was actually created by the DumbSlutBleachedBrunette. If you ignore the false name these women use you will see that the dumbslut profile matches exactly with the well-known attitudes, behaviors and actions of Bleached Brunettes.

Blondes are in a FORCED association with Bleached Brunettes because they use our name.

These women need to be OUTED and FORCED
to use the name Bleached Brunette because it clearly identifies them and clearly disassociates them from Blondes.

I have heard that blondes are treated differently by men (better), but as a brunette, I’ve never experienced that at all. I’ve had a blonde friend for about 7 years who is jealous of the fact that I receive more attention than she does when we’re together! There’s a lot of popular myth surrounding blondes but IMO, it’s only hype…it’s only a hair color, like somebody said.

It upsets me that people are stereotyped/labeled for whatever reason. I’m not sure how any of it started, really. People believe it was due to Hollywood actresses back in the 50′s but as I said, most of them were just very sexy BRUNETTE women who went blonde as a career move or simply because they wanted to.

Amy, you sound like a very strong person…a fine quality. I agree, most of the “ditzy blondes” were former brunettes…however, I don’t agree with (quote): “now overwhelmed by the attention they’re receiving by becoming blonde” (end quote). These particular “bottle blondes” were probably ditzy & foolish in the first place. The fact that they decided to go blonde only played up the dumb blonde stereotype even more, unfortunately for the natural ones. There are some pretty blondes. There are some pretty redheads. There are some very pretty brunettes who are even more beautiful & sexy than some blondes.

All in all, you seem strong & confident. Don’t let people’s stupidity & judgemental attitudes get to you. If they want to judge you by your hair color, that’s their problem. You know the real deal about who you are as a PERSON, not just a blonde.

What I wanted most to comment on was the many posts about the supposed genetic defects, decreased fertility, learning disabilities, stupidity or ‘ditziness’ that are being claimed to be inherently more pronounced in the fairer groups of people. I call Bu!!sh!t on that.

I’m disgusted by the sterotypes. I’m especially tired of the countless dumb blonde jokes that I’m forced to endure while interacting with the remarkable number of mentally challenged brunettes that I come into contact with. To generalize that blondes are somehow less intelligent based on their hair color is ridiculous enough – but then to go as far as to claim that it has been assumed or hypothesized that blondes inherit this ‘stupidity’ is even more ridiculous. Another pathetic attempt to make blondes appear to be at a disadvantage to brunettes.

I could honestly care less if the majority of men in the world find me to be the ideal or even attractive. It is true however that men do generally treat blondes differently than brunettes. Men tend to joke with me and tease me more when speaking to me, when intersted or attracted to me, and maybe that is because they have fallen prey to the vast numbers of rumors and false information about blonde women. There is a difference there. Maybe that’s why blondes have more fun? I’ve only been a blonde so I have nothing to base a comparison on other than my observations.

It’s frustrating to have someone already potentially assuming that you’re unitelligent before they have even spoken to you – but people do generalize and have preconceived notions about certain groups of people.

There are always exceptions to the rule. And I have to say that I have met my fair share of dumb brunettes and dumb blondes alike.

And as far as the comment that Commenter made about how she or he has only known one natural blonde who wasn’t a slut, basically, and whom she never knew to ‘flirt with boys’ and such. What’s wrong with flirting with boys? And if you’re a blonde is it somehow worse to flirt with boys? And to be a blonde and flirt makes you a slut or less likeable and respectable? As a woman, like most women, if you’re single and interested in someone – you flirt. Men do it, women do it. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. There is a huge difference between flirting and promiscuity. To flirt and be happy is not necessarily to be a slut. Give me a break.

Most blondes that you see acting like morons and idiots are generally those who were brunette for the majority of their lives and are now overwhelmed by the attention they’re receving from becoming a blonde – and they become ditzy and foolish. Most blondes who have been blonde for their whole lives are generally those who are tired of the labels and lack of respect given to them. Please stop generalizing.

There are a few actresses in Hollywood who are NATURAL blondes…Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore, Kim Basinger, Charlize Theron, Kirsten Dunst, & Melanie Griffith, to name a few. Uma Thurman actually is a natural redhead, not a blonde.

There are some lovely brunette actresses too…Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ashley Judd, Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow (former brunette), Marilyn Monroe (former brunette), Lucy Lawless, Justine Bateman, Yasmine Bleeth, Pam Anderson (former brunette), etc.

So, no, blondes are not prettier & no, they don’t have more fun. Blonde women are unfairly stereotyped as being loose, silly sluts…on the other hand, it’s not “jealous brunettes” who perpetuate this. What reason would I, a beautiful AND bright brunette, have to envy a blonde? There’s lots of fun in being brunette, believe me. I believe the stereotype comes from the fact that in the 1940′s, blonde hair was in. It was considered very glamorous for a woman to have light hair at that time. Most people would be surprised to know that Marilyn Monroe was NOT blonde. She was, in fact, a dark brunette until 1948…her hair was bleached blonde to advance her career. The same with Jayne Mansfield. Jane Russell’s hair remained black as did Liz Taylor’s. These starlets were all really DARK-HAIRED with lush figures (think Bettie Page, too), but blonde hair was in demand at the time so most of them started bleaching away.

Most adults who had fair hair as children later end up being light or dark brunettes. Most natural blondes are dark blondes…very light blonde hair is a recessive gene & therefore extremely rare. In blacks, it is almost nonexistent. I happen to be a mixed person with porcelain skin & dark hair & I can say that it is RARE for black women to be naturally blonde, even when light-skinned. Beyonce Knowles is not a good example, as her hair is not her own…she has what we call a “weave.” And it looks very unnatural on her. Mariah Carey naturally has light brown hair that has been both bleached & highlighted blonde…she is NOT a natural blonde. No, blonde hair looks foolish on anyone not of European descent, simply because blonde hair is primarily a European trait, albeit a rare one.

Blondes are not prettier, more fun, more feminine & vivacious than brunettes. People have their preferences, of course, but brunettes are just as beautiful. Marilyn Monroe was no blonde before her career took off. Neither was Liz Taylor, Jayne Mansfield, Jane Russell, Bettie Page, or Joan Collins. Most brunettes have a dark beauty that cannot be described. I find blond, dark-haired, & black men attractive. Blond males tend to be boyishly charming, dark-haired men tend to be very sensual, & black men tend to go after what they want in life. It used to be said that blondes & nice figures went hand in hand, but I think it more depends on the person. I’m dark-haired & I’ve always heard that I have a beautiful figure. Lots of brunettes have nice figures. So it doesn’t do to stereotype or generalize people based on looks or hair color.

“The brown model was rated as more shy, and the natural blonde as more popular.”
Dr Cassidy said: “It seems that the stereotype about dumb blondes did exist, but only in terms of the
platinum blonde.”

Someone mentioned IQ above and it’s true that the Northern Europeans have some of the highest IQs.
The Netherlands in particular is one of the most sexually free places while at the same time it is the place
with the highest IQ. Having just visited there I noticed that many of the people who were from there
didn’t seem to care about discussing issues as much. They are more to the point and direct -a bit like the
blonder Midwestern US with Swedish and Norwegian ancestry. They get the same job done, but don’t feel
the need to sit around and think or talk about it. They just know what to do and do it. My Midwestern
wife is also like that. She often has more trouble than I do at discussing complicated issues. But as I am
discussing something, she often uses one sentence or action that can beat me to the point. I’m more
brunette than blonde. My theory for today is that blondes tend do things where as brunettes tend to think
about doing things. So it would seem that brunettes are more thoughtful in that way.

As for blonde jokes, they do outnumber brunette jokes 10 – 1. This helps back up both ideas that
brunettes are less popular and they like to think about things. Brunettes have more time on their hands to
think about why it is they have more time to think about things. This leads to a natural proclivity to
provide an abundance of jokes as an attempt to feel better about being a brunette, or at least to try and
deflate blonde popularity.

I’ve read that this issue will fade in two hundred years basically because of the combination of the media
and brunettes dying their hair blonde. We will have bred blondes out of existence and they will be
effectively extinct in two hundred years or so. Consequently, brunettes will have the last say as to which
quality was better in the end. Blondes and others should note that the current form of “diversity”
marketed today would provide civilization with the opposite long-term impact as that implied by MTV
and other media. Whether you think this effect has been caused on purpose, or not, depends on your view
of the people in charge of the majority of the media.

A great deal of media is mostly owned by a group of people who are great marketers. You’ll note that in
years past these brunette marketers have convinced people that they are God, that a rock can be worth a
million dollars, and artwork containing only one black stroke of paint is important to the cultural fabric of
the world (lately it’s sparkly glass that is so important in that field). A little Brunette man (who
incidentally was also good at marketing) upset this same group in World War Two. This man said his
intentions where to breed a perfect race of blondes at the expense of the brunette marketers. Well, as a
member of this group of brunette marketers, I would be a quite upset. If I were still a little paranoid about
the WWII incident, I would do whatever necessary to cause the mass extinction of the blondes.

Non-blondes are calling the blondes attractive, stupid, having to use looks to get around life, etc…… While
the blondes are saying they’re jealous cause they’ve got all the guys swooping around them, etc…………

For both sides it is true.

Most non-blondes are just sick of the stuck-up personailties of blonde people who think they’re better than
everyone else, while others are actually jealous. I’m not saying all blondes are stuck up attention seekers.
But most of them are and even if they don’t admit it and go on the other side claiming that they’re the ones
being wrongly bullied for just being blonde while it’s their fault in the first place.

I’ve only ever known one natural blonde in my life who doesn’t flirt with boys or dyed her hair to attract
attention. She’s a great person and everyone loves her for just being who she is and no one teases her
about being blonde. While many other blondes are being bullied. Why? She’s just herself and doesn’t care
if she’s attractive or not. She’s proud of her natural hair colour and you should be too!

People who truely love and care for you in life will judge you by your heart not with your looks. People
who like others by looks or popularity will start lying to themselves saying he/she’s fun, kind and caring
etc…. are only creating illusions for themselves becasue they just want the person to be that way and so
believe in it. While the other person will start moulding into the kind of person they think their other
person would want them to be, so they won’t lose them. (I had a friend who always whore white socks to
school but them started wearing black saying her boyfriend thinks they’re more sexier)This is an example
of it.

I would rather get with a person who loved me just for being myself than live a lie and have to do this and
that to keep and please them.
