I have an IQ around 130 but I look like a bimbo?

Question

I have worked at three corporate offices but people still think I’m stupid? Do you guys think I look like a bimbo? Also no guy in college would really take me seriously to be completely honest, they all assumed I would be homeless. What do you guys think?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Some thoughts…

1. People shouldn’t judge others.
2. “You can’t judge a book by its cover”
3. Don’t care too much what others think about you.
4. Everyone’s different, and has different opinions (and a different definition) for the same word…And remember, “opinions are like a$$holes: everyone’s got one.” Lol.
5. No one can “see” your IQ, and no one really cares where you work; they just see your looks, and respond to how you are and how you act.
6. The dictionary definition of “stupid” is “having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense”…The dictionary definition of “bimbo,” is “attractive but unintelligent woman.”
7. Concerning you possibly looking like you’re “homeless”: this usually means wearing clothes & having hair that are all a mess…I DON’T think you look like that.

So, with the above said, I have some questions:
1. What are you doing or saying that makes people NOT take you seriously and think that you lacks smarts/common sense?
2. Who are these people saying these things to you—just men, or women too?; and are they family, friends, strangers, or coworkers?
3. Are people saying these things to you at work, or at bars, or where?

Have you considered wearing glasses just to build the "smart" look? You look very attractive to me! I usually date high IQ women and I have learned to not judge their IQ by their appearance.

You look like a beautiful woman. But I think the real question is do you dress like a woman who wants to be sexually objectified? Or a woman that means business?
If you wear something that accentuated the sexual nature of your femininity then men (sadly) will see you as just that. If you wear something that shows you have business mentality and hides your sexuality then men are more likely to see you as a business person.
Think about this: a men’s suit does everything it can to hide male differences. It’s a uniform that hides all signs of sexuality so that all men wearing a suit look basically the same.
When it comes to work it can help to hide the sexuality of your persona.
Nice to see a beautiful woman who’s took the high road. 😘

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I don't think you look like a bimbo, but a lot of guys will see a pretty face and nice body and just assume that you are just using your beauty to get ahead.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

For starters a bimbo you do not look like & beauty & brains you have.

Datboi65 · Answer

I will give you the true 100% unsugercoated answer (if that's even a real word haha). The truth is in how you carry yourself. I cannot tell whether or not someone is a quote-on-quote "bimbo" from a picture. Only through interactions can I decide. I wouldn't necessarily take someone that believes in Zodiac signs very seriously at an intellectual level, neither someone that uses the world "like" excessively in a conversation. Since you have an IQ of 130, you are by no means a "bimbo". It's either a) there are certain things you do in your daily life that make you come across that way (lacking self-awareness for example) or b) the people you hang with just enjoy using stereotypes to describe others. "Oh she's pretty, she must be an airhead" or "oh he's athletic, he must be an asshole" and my personal favorite "oh he's Black, he must be a thug". That last one is the story of my life (before you say anything, I don't play Basketball/wear chains/talk with a stereotypical Black accent). So yes, if you are around such people, then make sure to cut them your of your life, but it's always good to self-evaluate. I hope that makes sense.

tatianamay · Answer

Girl, you look great

Also, you should never judge someone by their appearance. If guys or anyone for that matter, judge you by how you look (you are pretty) and assume that you are dumb, then you do not need such a person in your life. You cannot see someone and just assume that they are dumb. That's ridiculous. Maybe try dressing more professionally in work settings? You should not change yourself for others, you should change for the betterment of yourself. As Nathan said, there is no such thing as a dumb look.

Nightless · Answer

A bimbo is an attractive but unintelligent or frivolous young woman.
It's not something someone can tell just by looking at you. People often judge far too harshly based on looks alone. Put that negativity out of you're mind. If you are an intelligent young lady, especially one that is excelling in the business field, ignore the ney sayers.
The fact that they are telling you something of this sort of thing means your being successful enough that they want what you have. plus, the bimbo comments are likely because they find you cute. That just doubles their jealousy. Use their jealous comments as a pat on the back. you're doing well, and you will only continue to succeed.

DJB72 · Answer

I wouldn't say you look like a bimbo in this pic. If you go to work in overdone makeup, stilettos and a skirt you have to pull the hem down on when you stand up while your cleavage hangs out at the top then maybe, but honestly if your IQ hits 130 I'm sure you already know that.

Let others think what they will. If you change how you dress for their opinion they win. "To thine own self be true" is how Shakespeare put it (Hamlet). I can't put it any better.

My name IQ got me offers of a Mensa membership as a teenager that I declined. Life is about how you use your intelligence, not how it's measured. As I get older I realise EQ is far more important than IQ. Develop yours and tell anyone who treats you a certain way based on your looks to screw themselves.

You do you. Nobody else can

MCheetah · Answer

Oh my god, you DO look like a bimbo! Not really the blonde hair, but the dopey expression. Could also be the way you dress. Or maybe you have a high-pitched, bimbo-y voice or something. Could be the way you act or express yourself. Who knows why. But there's an old saying "Those who mind, don't matter. And those who matter, don't mind." In this case, it's how you "look dumb."

But also, you shouldn't go around telling people your IQ. That sounds like some Reddit, "I watch Rick and Morty" type cringe. For the record, my IQ is 150 and most people assume I'm an idiot because I'm overweight and unattractive looking. The Homer Simpson Effect. But did Homer Simpson ever figure out time travel in just one night?

talover · Answer

Not sure if this is a serious question or a troll. Regardless, you piqued my interest in this question. First let me say, most college guys are still young boys and don't have a clue about how to properly treat young women. How do I know? I was once one of those college guys, and today, many years later, I am around college guys at work. They're meatheads. Trust me.

Second, your IQ is impressive. In 2018 I took an IQ test and got a BMI certificate of 120. However, IQ means nothing without EQ. What's your EQ? Most high IQ people have terrible EQ scores. And lastly, I don't think you look like a bimbo. However, you must admit, looks can be deceiving, right? Looking like something you are not, is possible. And the same can be said the other way around. My advice, find a mature college guy who isn't so fickle, and you'll be fine.

DianaWest · Answer

you don't look like a bimbo. if you had fake fish lips and fake lashes and twenty pounds of makeup, then maybe. but you look quite naturally pretty. ugly and stupid people say that to make themselves feel less insecure. i don't care what negative toxic jealous people think. they can kiss my beautiful and intelligent ass. i don't know why you would care what such people think. i get underestimated all the time because people (usually old bitter women centuries past their prime or bitter men) assume i am a teenager instead of a young adult. it is actually good to be underestimated, because before they realize what's going on, you can get promoted to their position.

ohshee · Answer

Stop stop stop what are you talkin about first of all you need to look in the mirror you're absolutely beautiful and if you don't know that did you need to go get your eyes checked you look very beautiful you very sexy you look very smart and you look confident so I don't understand what you're saying. Your eyes tell me you have very beautiful heart and also tells me you're Moody sometimes but aren't we all look we are all given a gift in life and that is we choose who we want to be. Play the things we say and do. We chose nobody else gets to choose first we choose for ourselves so you choose who you want to be I don't let other people Define you because look they're one hundred percent wrong you're gorgeous

Shizunk · Answer

Not stupid. It's more easy going to the point of not caring about serious subjects. If anything, I might assume you don't know much about a variety of different subjects, that you only have basic surface level knowledge of anything you are not directly invested into. I wouldn't assume that you couldn't solve puzzles or play board complex games.
And to add to that, I personally think a sharp mind gets discovered pretty damn quickly once you open your mouth. The only way to trick someone smart to think you are not, would be to keep quiet.

Guido · Answer

I think you are a beautiful young woman and no you do not , look like a bimbo at all. Perhaps that impression comes from how you dress. Guys can be thought of the same way when poorly dressed. Dress for success and see if there is a difference. Wear a nice business suit that looks like you are a powerful business woman and mean business. You will likely see a difference.

It's not uncommon for women to not be taken seriously in the business world and that is a mistake. It can take time to be taken seriously. I once mentored a very attractive girl fresh out of school and after a few years, she was sought out by managers in every department for help and advice. They realized her potential but it took time.

You are very fortunate to have the best of both worlds; brains and beauty.

J2ohhhhh · Answer

Your mouth is open on the photo. I don't know if you wanted that model look or a potential mouth breather, but if the second it contributes a lot to your perceived intelligence. Also the fact that you asked this question tells that you're somewhat wirred about appearing smart, which is usually the most counter productive thing you can do for actually appearing smart. So yeah, if I we were classmates or coworkers I'd give more chance to prove your intelligence, but you don't give a very intelligent person's first impression.

VDrago14 · Answer

I don't think you look like a bimbo, but I can also see how looks can be deceiving. Sometimes it's hard to judge a book by its cover.

It's funny because I once had a guy work for me that if you just looked at him, his mannerisms, and the way he spoke, he sounded like dumb as a brick frat boy. Turns out the guy was one of the most intelligent individuals I ever met, and we often had fascinating conversations on history and political sciences. So yeah, definitely can't judge a book by its cover

humpbackjack · Answer

You look really young so I’m sure that’s the main thing but also because you’re a pretty blonde plus being young looking I’m sure people dismiss you a lot. Now I’m not sure exactly what you mean by bimbo are you saying like a hootch or a get around girl or do you mean they just think you stupid or a flake or something? If you’re thinking they think you're a hootch then maybe you need to dress more professional that’s the easy one if they think you’re stupid all you can do is show them through you work that theyre wrong so it’s probably going to take some time and if it’s how young you look maybe do your hair and make up different along with dressing a little older maybe. I think it’s going to take longer for the age thing but again just do a good job and prove them wrong. Or you could start smoking like 3 packs of cigarettes a day that should make you look older pretty quick

CaliSixx · Answer

I think you're absolutely beautiful but that doesn't affect your intelligence what so ever. I'm ugly and I'm dumber than a pile of bricks. I say just keep going! Who cares what anyone else thinks of you? As long as you love yourself that's all that matters!

Michael49 · Answer

First impression:
You are a very pretty young lady who looks confident and sure of yourself. With traits like those you don’t have to list your work history or IQ. Those things are easily sensed once someone gets to know u better. As far as the immature college guys they aren’t worthy enough to get to see that side of you

Hairylegs222 · Answer

Looks can be deceiving. Of course someone's IQ can't be determined from looks. I don't know you, but it could be the way you talk, or maybe having that fake model kind of laugh. There's little things like that some people do that may give signs the person is an airhead. But behind that curtain the person could be very book smart or smart in general.

For me to ever consider a woman is a bimbo, she has to be hot and very dumb. 2 things need to be there, so just from your looks alone isn't enough for me to consider that about you. You already explained you're intelligent so you aren't a bimbo to me.

Massageman · Answer

Even though you are an obvious "spring", opt for a wardrobe a bit more towards "winter" for a "harder edge" look. Tone your hair with a dark toner, and maybe pull it back in a military bun. Consider those glasses that OlderandWiser already mentioned.

Yes - I can relate about that IQ stigma.

Sigrid17 · Answer

You don't look like a bimbo, the way you act and dress often determines how people perceive you. I also used to have the stereotypical bimbo look (dyed my hair brunette now, used to be strawberry blond) but no one made the assumption that im a bimbo openly because i don't behave like one.

Surely · Answer

Would love to see a picture of you when dressed to kill instead of being a “Plain Jane” as in the picture. I see a lot of potential there.
I have known people that were smart as a whip but didn’t know which end of a screwdriver to hold.
As long as you are good at what you are doing. IQ is only a number and doesn’t mean anything. Just don’t try to talk about things you know nothing about and make people believe that you do.
Being labeled a bimbo is usually do to your actions and not by your being intelligent.
Don”t be so hard on yourself!

musicloverr8 · Answer

Has someone told you "you look like a bimbo"? I find it hard to believe someone would say that because its quite rude. If someone thought you were bimboish it probably had something to do with the way you act. But no you dont look like a bimbo and maybe people are jealous

Guardian45 · Answer

Firstly, who cares what people think about you? You know that you have an IQ around 130 and that you're not a bimbo. DON'T let other people tell you who you are; only you decide that! F**K them!

I think you're blonde and cute, so people will make assumptions about that! Like it or not.

Why did guys in college assume you would be homeless? That's so random.

Personally, if I was looking for a girlfriend, it would be mandatory for her to be intelligent. I'm willing to bet that there are a LOT of guys out there looking for YOU: intelligent and attractive. Good Luck!

JakeCool99 · Answer

You can't be too sure those tests are accurate. For example you might be leaving a lazy day where your brain is struggling to focus or understand... And get a low iq score... Then a month later try again and your brain is now fast and switched on... Making you answer the questions faster... giving you a higher score... how can you be sure the test last month or this month is right?
Your brain might not always be fully switched on... Myn is usually slow and lazy but I did manage to get 127 iq score on a test once when I was taking my time and concentrating... But still... My iq might actually be like only 100

TheorionMage · Answer

The photo you chose, has a facial expression of a kind of 'childlike' sense of clueless-ness.
In part its that appearance of a dreamy, vacant stare~

The eyes are the 'mirror' of One's Soul.
You need develop a piercing stare. Practice with a mirror looking into your own eyes...
try to see inside and behind them... to 'know' "you". Were I single, I'd LOVE that opportunity~

Anonymous · Answer

IQ isn't everything. What one believes and does matters most. There are different rankings for IQ. With a SD of 15 I rank officially at 130, but unofficially at 138. In Elementary I was put at 120, but was given another test in high school maxing at 130 IQ. In actuality they don't know, but my father is 140 and we are at the same wavelength. You could be the smartest person in the world and still be a fool. Far greater than IQ is wisdom. Wisdom is divine intelligence, but sadly few find it. You will see reports of genius's scammed out of money because of emotional manipulation or catfishing. Is that dumb? We can all fall victim, but certainly it is unwise. True intelligence comes from its creator found in Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 9:10 - 11
(10) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (11) For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.

jshm2 · Answer

Your IQ is irrelevant. Your mannerisms, style and dress are what people are "judging" you on. But in the corporate field it is always best to let them think you are "below" them. You make less enemies and can get ahead better.

EnglishEuropean · Answer

You do look a bit vacant, and your hair looks kind of homeless. No offence, just shooting from the hip here. If it helps, a lot of people thought Einstein was homeless.

seer09 · Answer

Only shallow people judge others based on their looks. You are very beautiful doesn't mean that you can't be intelligent also. We don't see many women with smashing good looks like yours in positions requiring lot of academic/mental work as there are career paths available to you which are more lucrative. But it doesn't mean you can be very good looking and also a scientist at the same time.

MatthewA · Answer

You look very friendly I also have a high IQ but that doesn’t necessarily make you smart that just means you have a better ability to learn faster. If you are worried about the appearance of being intelligent try glasses. You may think they look goofy at first but they are actually pretty attractive. On aside note never brag about your IQ that doesn’t make an individual unique accomplishments make someone a somebody.

Daniela1982 · Answer

Was that 130 or 13.0? Who's to argue with your opinion? I feel you always have your looks to fall back on if nothing else works for you. Or, it could be something you do, how you act, or even your voice that labels you a bimbo. Who knows?

Commander_Red · Answer

I'm not gonna sit here and give you compliments because that it not what you need. I think you're lacking confidence. For a person with an IQ of 130 (which by the way, IQ test don't really matter), you seem to care a lot about how others, especially men, see you. If you have a big brain, don't fish for people to tell you otherwise. You gotta believe in your own intelligence and worth.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

People are judged on their actions and not their looks, or that is how it should be.

IQ is one of those things that in the real world often does not mean much, I have people working on my teams who are high IQ, crazy intelligent but everyone knows not to trust them doing things like making toast, one actually put the print out they had just got from the printer on top of the toaster doing their toast….

lightbulb27 · Answer

I recall some nasa scientist had the same issue. people make assumptions. What people see is emotional projection, what's going on in the inner sub conscious world... maybe you grew up accelerated, but inside, you're still quite young.

restyling probably help. you'll be fine.

iBeowulf · Answer

Maybe all women are treated that way? Maybe you're just the diversity hire eye candy? Affirmative Action in universities and the workplace, which violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment to the U. S. Constitution, shows that women don't earn their places.

jim009 · Answer

Yes, in that particular pic you look more hot than smart. With an iq of 130 I'll keep it simple and let you figure out the details: look at women around you who have the respect (not just authority) you want to feel and mirror them. How do they dress/act/interact/present on social media etc?

Miristheiss · Answer

Bimbo? Stupid?
That would have to do more with the way you dress and also the way you act. Some people naturally have a ditsy aura about them. Some people are book smart and in the moment say silly things are don't know facts others consider basic knowledge.
Lots of variables go into the persona a person puts out.

Firstly, you're very beautiful.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I have the same problem. I don't think I LOOK like a bimbo but a lot of people seem to think I am. Been that way all my life. They all treat me like I'm an idiot but I'm usually smarter than they are.
If that's you in the picture, you don't look like a bimbo,. You're very pretty!

beernbacon69 · Answer

Honestly I think you look great and I don't get a bimbo vibe at all. Guys in college can be pretty stupid when it comes to girls, they were probably intimidated a bit because you are pretty. I'd just try and ignore those comments and not worry about it too much, that's their loss for making assumptions and not getting to know you.

cmarrott · Answer

Nothing more attractive in the whole world then someone who is smarter than I am. Sadly most people are idiots and I sadly don’t have a good way to help you get people to see your intelligence vs your good looks. If you work in a field where it’s possible to work from home it may help though.

K-I-S-S · Answer

I have gotten around 140 in the few IQ tests that i have done, but i know i'm an idiot, so they clearly aren't very accurate 😗

You look cute, maybe a bit too full of your "potential" and thus might come off as a bimbo with an attitude.

Dress classy, act feminine and be polite.

Archerer · Answer

Stereotypes are bad... I'd have to have a conversation with you before I decide if you "look" like a bimbo or not. I wouldn't judge on looks alone... But I do think a lot of smart girls still act like a bimbo, I don't know if it's just the way they are, if they feel like the need to, if it's what they think attracts men or what, but all in all it alright. Usually "bimbo" also means hot so focus on the good side of things lol

crazy8000 · Answer

The bimba part look comes from what kind of clothes and how you use makeup.
Also how we behave. non verbal cues.

007kingifrit · Answer

you don't look like a bimbo you look very normal

that being said IQ isn't a real measure of much and most people haven't had a formal IQ test anyways and i doubt you have. and your jobs don't sound very impressive either. 99.9999% of people will never have an impressive job. meaning in life doesn't come from your job

Fuentes · Answer

I've never correlated looks with how smart someone is, or how they dress - demeanor tells all. Some of the biggest criminal masterminds came from being dirt poor growing up you would never assume some of them would have empires or even make it as far as they did. If people use looks as a way to tell whose smart and whose not. They're the true dumb asses & will always underestimate everyone they meet.

I think the people i talked to are above average in stupidity 🤣

Pumpkinspice009 · Answer

You look absolutely normal and cute, people don’t take me seriously too especially men, I’m kinda fed up but yea I’ve heard they think your cute and can’t really take you seriously that why.

I think the same think happens with men, tbh.

People think if you're attractive you're superficial or vacuous. And as if there is some magical inverse correlation between attractiveness and intelligence.
