why are there less blonde people than there are dark haired?

Dark hair is on a dominant gene where as light hair is on a recessive gene.  This is also why more people have brown eyes than blue eyes.

it's just an expression.  there are just as many dumb brunettes and redheads etc as there are dumb blondes.  the expression originated back in the day when hair dye just came out and men loved the blonde hair.  so all the women made their hair blonde, and ppl started refering to them as dumb blondes b/c they're trying to be like everyone else.

i think it is more about personality than anything. i thought guys with blonde hair were sexy, and i dated someone one time that had blonde hair (not the reason i dated him), but he drove me crazy. then i started dating a guy with brown hair, and we are engaged. he's got an awesome personality.\n\ncan't base things on hair color. plus, how do you know if it is their real hair color or not? ;-)

I don't know the answer to your question exactly - it's more a demographics question. But eye color is inherited independent from hair color. There are many genes affecting each, not just one or two.  Dark hair and eye genes are dominant, so they tend to appear together if they were together in the parent (which they often are due to "race"). So it might seem as though dark hair and light eyes together is rare, simply because of incomplete mixing of types in the group you're looking at (assuming there are light-hair-and-eyes types, and dark-hair-and-eyes types to begin with).\n\nThere are some groups of white people in which dark hair and light eyes are common - the so-called "black Irish" come to mind. If they exist, it is because of thorough mixing over time, of light-hair-and-eyes types with dark-hair-and-eyes types.

Hmm, no correct answer to that in reality.  Blonds are perceived as stupid because a blond is considered "more fun", "sexier" and "bubbly" and therefore the "dumb blond" name has stuck whether deserved or not (although Paris Hilton and her ilk don't help the blonds' case).  Anything fun and sexy isn't considered to be intelligent.  Brunettes are seen as sensible, a bit boring, not terribly sexy (soooo not true) so are therefore deemed intelligent - which, of course, we are :op.  Redheads are considered fiery, passionate and tempermental.  None of these stereotypes is accurate but that is how people are perceived and it unfortunately affects how people are treated.  Even films continue to use these stereotypes (consider "In her Shoes" as an example).  Don't know if this is what what you were looking for.\n\nIncidentally, as a side note, did you know that genetically, intelligence is inherited from the mother's side not the fathers - so if you're smart, thank your mother.

it originated quite a while back...not sure of the exact time period.  When blonde hair dye just came out...EVERY body made their hair blonde as guys really liked it.  Hence the story started that blondes are dumb b/c they all try to be the same.

I think that blonde hair does make a person less intelligent.  I have brown hair, but last summer I dyed it blonde.  And I swear I was making so many stupid mistakes.  I really did feel like the blonde hair was making me dumb.  Maybe the peroxide seeped into my brain... I don't know.   :)

It is a stereotype...if you're dumb,you're dumb..that's it,it has nothing to do with the color of hair or your race or anything....It's stereotyped because of blondes that are TRULY stupid..like Jessica Simpson and Brittney Spears...etc.

Yep that's true for folks living in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Italy and Spain. The White men are so attracted to the dark skinned women. It's the opposite of what it's like here. Lots of my friends and families intermarried men from these countries and they get treated like royalty.  I think for the US, it depends where you are at. It can be vice-versa in some major cities like NYC, Chicago, Miami and Houston. Maybe because the juice is so much sweeter in dark berries.

heritage, genetics, life.  Any answer could give you many scientific ideas as to why your hair gets darker over time, even blondes sometmes have that happen.  It's just a mixture of things, like why someone's skin is darker, or lighter or like in my case, I'm in my 30's, I'm a male, and have no body hair.  So you'd have to think that there's many factors involved.

Hair color comes from melanin (say: meh-luh-nun), the substance that gives hair and skin its pigment. The lighter someone's hair, the less melanin there is. A person with brown or black hair has much more melanin than someone with blond or red hair. Older people lose the melanin pigment in their hair as they age, making their hair look gray or white.
