It’s official, the latest research shows that when men talk to Blondes they become dumber than they usually are! The study of behaviour around them has shown researchers that men subconsciously dumb down to converse on the stereotypical perceived intellegence level of a Blonde.
Now we all know a Blonde who does actually fit the “Bimbo” role but there is not actual evidence to suggst that Blondes are less intellegent than anyone else. Take Marilyn Monroe for instance, screen bimbo, off screen? A reported IQ of around 170, and that beats most men she probably knew!

So how is it that this stereotype has had such an effect on how we perceive and treat Blondes? The media. But as we Hairdressers know, most Blondes aren’t real Blondes, it’s just the magic of hairdressing. Otherwise a real Blonde who went darker could be termed Artificial intellegence.
All i can say to you Blonde girls out there is that you should use it to your full advantage. Many’s the time I’ve used the being Blonde excuse to explain away some silly thing I’ve done, Brunettes can’t do that! Needless to say I never get dressed in the dark anymore and I always check that my socks match and my shoes are the same.
It’s commonly known that those who are a little challenged in the intellegence stakes are easier to manipulate, so when a man is stupid enough to dumb down while talking to you it’s time to take advantage of the situation and play him to get what you want, be it getting him to buy you drinks all night or doing all those chores around the house that are “just too hard to figure out how to do!” See, Blondes really can have more fun. And lastly:
Two Blondes are on opposite sides of the river, the first one yells out, “How do I get to the other side?”
The second one yells back, “You are on the other side!”
