Do blondes have more fun?

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WolfFiles/story?id=90506&tqkw=&tqshow=&page=1

There are a couple articles that seem to show that blonde women do get more flirty messages as shown on Match.com. This is funny, and slightly interesting. I'm curious if this is something of a closet stereotype showing through. Maybe years of a cultural trend of telling blonde jokes had some influence on what we believe. They also say that brunettes make an average of $4250 more a year than blondes do. Judging by statistics brunettes are also more likely to marry a millionaire, because 2/3rds of the world's millionaires are married to a brunette.

  1. I believe there is a little bit of truth to every stereotype. A stereotype is just a caricature of a certain group of people. They didn't just come out of thin air, stereotypes have to have a small foundation of truth for it to be believable. It doesn't make them universally true though.
