From where I live & work, black-haired women (especially the ones who dyed their blonde hair that color) seem to get more respect. I don't know if that's a Kardashian-girl thing, or it's more "urban" or "goth" to do so. Meanwhile, blonde women seem to get treated more like little girls next to the blackhairs.

"So no need to get dis-tressed, obviously your hair color does not define who you are."
...So then what was the point of this article??
I am a blonde myself, and even I think that this is just crap.
I didn't think that folks actually believed in the blonde stereotype, let alone do a study on it. Sheesh.


- Intelligent Blonde.

My Sister is blonde and over the years has received more attention that most women when going to the bank, having her car serviced etc. People feel sorry for blondes since they are not very intelligent, thereby receiving special care to get rid of them fast.

Try being a blonde and living somewhere where everyone is naturally tan & brunette with brown eyes. The only "attention" you get it people telling you you're hair looks dirty when you try to use a little hairspray. It's not fun. And no, they were not jealous they just liked to make other people feel ugly so they could be the "pretty" ones. Of course this one in middle school, but sadly a lot of people don't grow out of their stupidity.

Hair color has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. As a natural blonde, I have always been extremely offended by people who seem to think that blondes are stupid. Apparently, the true idiots are those who believe haircolor and intelligence go hand-in-hand.

The fact that 57% chose great hair over greater intelligence demonstrates right there that they should have selected greater intelligence.

That's totally not true, David. I'm a blonde and don't put stock in this article at all. There are several other blondes that have also replied that don't believe this article. Why don't you criticize the person writing about the article instead of the subject matter? It's not like blondes asked to be written about or made fun of, just like with all those dumb blonde jokes out there.

I have to say, I'm blonde, and also a lawyer, so that rather blows the "blondes are less intellingent" theory, at least to my perspective.
I've also found that being a young blonde attorney comes in handy. If there's opposing counsel who doesn't know you, they look at you as though they're thinking, "this is gonna be easy." And then when you spank them in front of a judge, it just makes it THAT much sweeter.

ANOTHER DUMB TOPIC FOR DUMMIES.

You're just nasty. And you probably don't look very good like you think you do.

Ok i want to reply to the stupid and racist reader gorgeousblondnurse. I am an african american woman and i am really offended by your comment on blacks. One anybody can be stupid or ditzy despite your hair color or your race intelligence is based on the person and how much education they have not what they look like. Every women can wear extensions whether black, white, latino or whatever its not always just black women that buy hair extensions to get longer hair, i bet if you went up to enough women of different races you would find that a large majority of them wear hair extensions to get a different look or enhance their own physical features.Oh and on the point of our men want white women that is in your arrogant ass because men in general want any woman whether she is from the same ethnic background or not,that is extremely stupid that you would say how white women dont want black men that comment is the reason why blondes or white people like you in general are referred to as stupid because you think you are above everyone and you think you are the grace that god blessed to this world. Well let me tell you something YOU ARE NOT!!!!! It is the 21st century now stop being bigoted with your races ideas and comments about black women or people in general.Bush was white and look where he has gotten us in a freaking recession. I dont judge anyone based on what their race or backgrounds are becasue i think we should love everyone for who they are and not what they look like. But people like you i spit on for saying things that have no importance in life. YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF A STUPID ASS BLOND!!!!!!!

I have been to Italy and Spain and let me tell you...they have the sexiest, most beautiful women on the planet...and I am not talking about blondes.
Yes, there are some beautiful blondes, but then again, some of them look like they need a blood transfusion. The brunettes age better, and have much better skin.

I am not a Kim Kardashian fan, but lets face it...she is gorgeous and she doesn't have to take a backseat to any blonde. And I am sure no real man is going to boot Megan Fox, Monica Bellucci, or Teri Hatcher out of bed either. And then show me one blonde that can look as beautiful as Sophia Loren, or Racquel Welch at their age right now. Need I say more?

I agree with u. I am black by the way. I wear my hair natural, and everyone seems to think that I am weird. I do believe that Black men do like white women, look at Tiger.
He obviously likes only a certain color.

Ha ha. I'm Black, and I'm not at all offended by what you said because I know it's untrue. You DO know that Blacks are born with all hair colors, right? My mother is Black, and has naturally red hair. People usually mistake her for White American or a White Hispanic, because she is also very light skinned.

I am very confident that my husband would NOT be looking at YOU if you walked by us! If anything, yours would be doing double takes looking at ME. I can guarantee with 100% certainty that I look 1000 times better than you could ever dream of looking. With my naturally long, curly dark hair (that, yes, I do straighten occasionally -- nothing wrong with that!; and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean I want to be White), I get regular compliments from men of ALL races -- many who have proclaimed that I am the most beautiful or striking woman they have ever seen. And these are complete strangers.

By the way, no one cares about your 4 year degree. I also have my Bachelor's degree, and recently finished my M.B.A. (Master's of Business Administration) in August of 2009. Not to mention, I am a member of three high IQ societies, including American Mensa. I also graduated high school when I was only 16. I guess that makes me beautiful AND intelligent.

I'm usually not one to brag, but it's just amazing to me that you would take the opportunity to rant about Black women in an article solely about hair color (which has absolutely nothing to do with race)! The fact that you chose to do so is very telling. You're obviously jealous. Maybe some beautiful, intelligent Black woman stole your man ;-)

I just felt the need to post another comment on here...

Alright, listen up fellow blondies:
It's okay to be proud of and love your hair color, I'm not knocking that.
I love being blonde as well, but why is everyone getting so nasty on here?
GorgeousBlondeNurse, that comment went a little too far, a little concieted if you ask me.

You can embrace your blondeness without riding on a high horse (and for some of you on here, running them over on your high horse).

It takes more than hair color to EARN/WIN/DESERVE a real man.

Nurse, you got me on this one, I am merely just a "kid".
I must say, however, that at 19 years old my maturity level seems to be above and beyond.
Yes, speak away, it is a free country.
I just don't understand one thing...
you went on about how old you are, but it seems to me your mentality hasn't caught up? Shouldn't you have enough class and grace to speak appropriately?
You're spatting off like a mad baboon with a keyboard.
Quite defensive too, which shows insecurity.
I lol'ed when you judged me over the internet by calling me "one of those smart a$$ girls". I'm actually quite a kind person, I've never been a "smart butt" to anyone.
I never did tell you what to do, I simply stated my opinion.
I respect the fact that you have one. & like you said, it's a free country.
There are many mean things that I could say, but I'm just not that type of person.
You definitely misjudged me.

Hey GiovanniIsQueer:

So what if one of your beloved blonde bombshells dyed her hair brunette? You probably wouldn't take a second look at her, which tells me that you're attracted to hair color and hair color only. And any brunette could dye her hair blonde, and you would immediately break your neck to look her way! Lol! What an idiot. There are no differences in physical features between blondes and brunettes. Hair color is it. So, if you're that shallow, good luck even getting a woman!
