Pretty Girls are stupid?


It is often said that “Pretty Girls are stupid”, will that be true? And if the answer is Yes, then Why?

Let’s enlarge the concept a little bit to “Good looking people are Stupid”, if that happens to be true, why does it happen?

The answer come easy, at the same time to me and a friend, when we were joking about this issue. It is human nature to be competitive, if you already happen have your image working for you, to be “more accepted”, why the extra effort? In opposite, people that don’t have such attributes, they have to fight more and compensate that in other manners, skills and qualities.

At the same time, this is not really true, people that are good looking, specially women, have to prove double when they want to compete on something, because of the “stupid pretty girl” label then works against them.

Once accused of being stupid blond girl, Marilyn Monroe said: “If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do - look intelligent?”

And does anyone doubts she was an incredible actress? If so, why doesn’t any other “pretty blond girl” of the thousands in the world reached the success and what she did?

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? I leave here a quote from that classic movie:

"Lorelei Lee: Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?"


Yes it helps, but don’t lay your trust on that.
