Well I hate to break it to you, but stereotypes are never quite as uniform as they seem. While they are mostly based in some form of truth, they never apply to the entire people they seek to stereotype. Certainly with any stereotype you can find one person who fits it. In any case stereotyping is bad blah blah blah...

Either way my statement still holds. Although I have seen it applied to blondes in general, not limited by gender.

Stunt made a good post, but read mine as well.

I do have smart blond friends, girls and guys.

It's just a bad stereotype.

Its not that they are blonde, its that their family's are stupid *** hell and thats where their genes derive from.

Stereotypes are usually made up because of a bad few out of a group. I have blonde friends, but they're pretty smart. Sure, they do dumb things sometimes, as most of my friends do, but anyone else that isn't a blonde could also do that too.

That stereotype is not true, my middle school ap class had about 10 blonde girls. On the other hand, there are a lot of REALLY stupid blonde girls i know

The person that brought this question up should be sensible enough to know that such childish stereotypes are untrue.

How old is the OP again? By the way, you can make a presumption about my opinion on the matter.

If stereotypes were true they wouldn't be stereotypes, they would be facts. That should answer your question.

Ahem.
Stereotype- a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group

In any case, it is a general assumption about a group of people. It isn't necessarily true or false, although in this case, it's false.

There are plenty of smart blond people, as well as lots of idiots with a different hair color. While many blonds may be dumb, in this case, it is not in relation to that characteristic.

Lol, I overexplained. Oh well, it was a dumb question anyway.

That said, the fact that you have to show off how "smart" you are means you're rather insecure or annoying.

Two of my closest friends are blonde and I pay them out all the time. It's all in good spirit. I also bleached my hair a little so whenever I say or do something dumb recently I've been calling it a blonde moment :P

wow... i cant even believe someone actually thought this is true. of course blode people/women arent dumb. think about it logically, how does someones hair colour has anything to do with his inteligence. also there are communities in the world that most people there are blonde and of course you cant say that a whole community is dumb. last line: if you ever hear a stereotype, its 99% chance its wrong... wow stereotype is one of the few things that can make me mad (and no i am not blone lol)
