Pretty = Dumb?

*singing Kele Kele love* "You think because I'm pretty I'm dumb dumb" ... Please where did the idea that pretty women are dumb come from? ..I don't get it , so when God is making girls ,you think He flips a coin, heads for beauty and tails for brains ??
Or the first time a boy tells a pretty girl shez pretty,you think she goes infront of the mirror to examine herself and then suddenly all the sense and knowledge she has accumulated up to that point suddenly gets sucks into the mirror ?

I kinda get the "dumb blonde" stereotype ..but how does that spread to all pretty women in the world .. Really .. Someone is goina have to explain to me

Personally, the smartest/most intelligent girls I know are the most beautiful ones .. Ima just name two (my room-mate ) Dedun and (Family friend turned cousin ...*its an African thing*) Yazmeen ... Both stupidly beautiful ..both verrrrrrrry smart ...

I actually believe that the whole pretty girls are dumb has gingered most pretty girls to make sure they are extrememly intelligent .. Being a beauty with no brains , (although appealing to some men that want trophy house wives) has become like the worst and saddest situation for women. People just say "eyahhh, what a pity , God just gave her all that beauty with no brains ..how's sad" :ol

Pretty women now have to work twice as hard just to ensure they don't fall into the "pretty dumb" category .. Its funny how no one really notices when a girl who is two steps-past-worwor. X_x is #NotWinning academically ... Its just like "ehen shez ugly and stupid ..so ?" .. But really, theirz is a wayyy worse predicament ... What do they have going for them ? Atleast "pretty dumb" can marry a guy with the brains to pass on to their kids while she passes on her beauty ..but "ugly dumb" .. ?? "Wetin she go drop" ??

For the alright looking women with great personalities and brains and intelligence. Y'all are covered, so just make sure u maintain ur great personalities and remain smart/intelligent .

I think all our attention should be shifted to "worwor dumb" to help them with their personalities and their levels of intelligence ... Let them also have something to offer. .. Atleast for the "worwor" bit, a fringe can cover half of their faces and make-up can hide the rest ... Let us help them before they become Majelas for want of purpose and societal acceptance.

If you have any comments , opinions, disagreements or suggestions, make them known. Thank you :o)

  15. Truth be told I've never believed that. I've not met a really smart girl that's ugly. It just doesn't happen. Ugly girls are generally dumber than pretty girls. The group of girls that are stereotypically very smart are plain girls - those girls you can't call ugly, but don't quite take your breath away either. Anyway, being smart adds an extra dimension to physical beauty - look at a the dumb blonde stereotype. They generally don't look like girls any right-minded man would start a meaningful relationship with - with that constantly lost look in their eyes.
