Hair Stereotypes - Blonde, Brunette, Redhead

stereotypes were born in a basis of truth
red on the head fire in the bed
blondes... most not all certainly do fit that... not all there I'm an easy whore stereotype
and brunettes... my personal favorite... I don't know love it...
brunettes with curly hair... yeah...
and then redheads...
and then intelligent blondes...

Where the heck did the red headed jew thing come from, anyway stereotypes are dumb, and not true at all

People stereotype me of having a high temper and high libido, which can be true but I haven't lost my temper in so long

you forgot black, odd colors (pink etc..) colors...and different shades of each one you listed

Honestly, I think the whole stereotype of that is just stupid. It doesn't mean ANYTHING.

I had no idea nor have ever heard of these stereotypes. However, now I'm mildly curious. ;)


In all seriousness, stereotypes are just that... stereotypes. They are not entirely true until someone makes them so. For instance, I'm a mix and look Hispanic. Therefore some people assume I should speak fluent Spanish. I don't, so you could say I break away from that stereotype.

There's nothing to these stereotypes.
My wife is blond and a sex-crazed homemaker who was in Mensa.
I had a red-headed (non-Jewish) girlfriend for whom I was hard-pressed to get a kiss in edgewise, let alone make out with.

1. I have never met someone that is Jewish with red hair, so I never knew that stereotype existed.
2. I never understood stereotypes, especially based on hair color. The way a person acts doesn't depend on what color their hair is.

I don't get that blonde stereotype at all. I think blondes are wiser than they may seem.

Red hair usually denote fieriness, yes, but also insanity.

Brunettes are temperate and a little morose in my worldview.

That's racist! LOL Anyways, while some stereotypes are true to a point, these ones are generally not true from my experience. And besisdes you can't really tell anything anymore because girls change their hair color like every other week so yah there is no real basis for these stereotypes. Another thing is moms can be jealous when their little boy grows up and have another woman to take care of him instead of her, so I wouldn't let it bother you too much.

I don't know about stereotypes, but I did get my fair share of 'firecrotch' shots growing up. Never been thought to be jewish though. I would think with the strong willed stubborn nature of many(not all) redheads they'd be the least 'easy'. In any case everyone is their own individual we all share some traits and characteristics, and any coincidence between physical attributes, is just that, a coincidence. I wouldn't let it get to you, the opinions of people that judge so easily should be held in in extremely low regard. One thing I have noticed though, that is slightly annoying, is all the blondes vs brunettes debates that leave out, in my opinion, the best option, which would be the redheads.

why do you even care about stereotypes.

people are super ignorant and dumb. as soon
as they see a black guy they assume he steals
or is good at basketball. as soon as someone sees
an asian, they are automatically good at math

your boyfriends own mother is also some type of moron.
judging people based on their hair color.

I've been called blondie countless times

I have green eyes and light ash brown hair and white complected , but I'm Mexican, so people usually get surprised when I speak spanish! lol

nvr heard of the jewish redhead stereotype O.o, only stereotype I ever hear about is blondes

Hey, I'm glad you put this up here. Regardless of what people think, discrimination and stuff really does go on. I'm naturally blond though I do get highlights every few months or so. People tend to think just because I'm blond that I'm not intelligent or capable of doing something important. Many guys also think at first that I might be really easy, just by being blondes. I think in general, brunettes get the most respect. Though to some extent, I can see why. Usually promiscuous girls, who are easy and stuff tend to die their hair blond, because in a way they think that's hotter, so it just screws up the whole system hehehe. Well that's what I think ;).

Hahaha. Everyone knows that brunettes are the new stupid, redheads are still totally hot and blonds are quickly becoming the smartest and most confident of them all. Dyed hair is usually a dead give-away that the person underneath is hollow and prone to scamper off after shiny objects.

No, seriously though does this question really have to be asked? It's not what you have but how you use it. Every person IS according to how they behave and NOT what they have. Regardless of how many people realize this. Take for example your best friend's step mother. It sounds like she behaves like a total idiot. It's really too bad that she thinks that way about you and I hope you and your friend can still be fine.

While I think these stereotypes are stupid I'm a redhead and I'm very fiery and opinionated. However, I'm also intelligent AND fun so I don't take these stereotypes very seriously :)

People who judge others on their hair colour are idiots. I always get the dumb blonde comments/jokes. People think I'm easy etc etc. It's just really frustrating to have people think they know what you are like just because of your hair colour, people that don't know me don't know anything about me even though they may claim to just because I'm blonde. It really really annoys me how any single person out there that hasn't talked to me can think they know anything about me-they don't know sh*t about me until they talk to me.

people who judge others based on hair color ar plain dum-dums. No offense to your boyfriends mother of course, ;p

I'm a brunette and I'm considered serious and intelligent.
I can only speak for myself but I will say the two easiest girls I've ever known were redheads.

For a mother to judge you like that though, and off just a photo no less, is beyond ridiculous. Shame on her.

Well, a study in Germany suggests that women with red hair have sex more often than blondes or brunettes. And when blonde/brunette women dye their hair red, it's supposedly a sign to their partners that they want more passion. I don't know how true any of that is though. I've also never met a Jew with red hair. Most of the redheads I know are Irish, and there's my Polish great-grandmother, but I would never assume that someone with red hair must be Jewish.

In movies, blondes tend to play the more delicate, "damsel in distress" roles while women with dark hair play the mysterious femme fatales. Those are the only other stereotypes I can think of.

There's nothing to stereotypes though. Everyone we meet fits some category that we already have stereotyped first impressions about, it's an automatic response, some of us just follow them more than others. (Guess who did a project on first impressions for psychology, haha)

Believing in stereotypes off of hair color is just silly. What kind of mom would say such a thing to her son? That is plain creepy.

Stereotypes are bs.
I'm a blond, yet I'm ALWAYS on time. Punctuality is very important to me and has literally been engrained in my blood, thanks to my parents. I'd hardly consider myself dumb, as the stereotypes go. It all depends on how you carry yourself... I know plenty of people who abide by their stereotypes in an effort to be more "likable" - which I think is completely absurd.
I've had many professors crack "dumb blond" jokes while in the middle of teaching just because of few of his students, including myself, possessed blond hair. I just laugh, sometimes they are humorous, however it makes me wonder what it's doing to the rest of the class's perception of blonds. Could it be effecting them at all? Who knows.
Plus hair color isn't natural anymore. People are constantly dabbling with different hair colors on themselves - just because they felt like it. And that's fine, to each their own.
And that's just WRONG to be anti-semetic. We're in a day and age where we should be progressing as a human species rather than regressing. Look at Hitler, yes he was successful as a leader, however the rest of the world (excluding japan and italy) hated, despised him and thought him to be clinically insane and was promptly taken down. People seriously want to take after that? That is absolutely, utterly disgusting. And I hope they get what's theirs to realize that they're completely, undoubtedly in the wrong.
