How to get your man
I am frustrated.
I read a thing today about a bloke who was dismissed and who won a case to get himself reinstated.
The reason he was dismissed was that apparently he told a female fellow employee that “blonds are better“.
The first thing I would point out here is that far from being “gross misconduct” I would class it as a remark to be either debated or ignored. For someone to be offended by that they would have to rate themselves near the top of the Snowflake Scale. If I had been the manager there I would have called the bloke into my office and would have told him that the female involved was a nutter and to try not winding her up.
The next thing I would point out is that blondes are in fact relatively few and far between. The vast majority of blondes walking the streets are in fact brunettes in disguise thanks to the wonders contained in a bottle. The chances are that when you are chatting up a blonde you are in fact chatting up an imposter. Just check that the hat matches the handbag.
So why do so many women choose to go blonde? The answer is simple. Way down in the deep dark recesses of a man’s subconscious lies the primeval urge. The urge tells him to go out and impregnate as many women as possible and to make sure that the choice of woman is a good breeder, namely that she is young, healthy [and bonds are perceived as healthier for some reason], has good child bearing hips and big tits. While modern Politically Correct standards somewhat restrain these urges nevertheless, they exist, and women subconsciously know this.
So what has me so frustrated? Well, the article goes on at length about the blokes case and how he quite rightly was awarded â¬5,000 but it doesn’t answer one vital question.
What was the rest of the bloke’s comment?
In his opinion, what are blondes better at [or for]?
I can verify your hypothesis that many females do masquerade as blonds. In my case, many decades ago, the lady in question confirmed she was indeed a brunette, however when she was born and until about age 3 she had blonde hair.
That is true with a lot of kids, however most just live with what nature gives them. In my case it helped accelerate a unilateral parting of the ways.
I remember when Daughter was born she had a grand full head of black hair [which also spread down her back and arms]. She was nearly eleven pounds which may explain things. Her hair is now usually either red or purple, but sometimes green. I'm not sure what that says about her….
So the guy supposedly said, "Blondes are better" (bah, give me a brunette or a red head any day of the week) plus a couple other unsubstantiated things and it's called "gross misconduct". Really?
Then I read this post. In fact, I've read pretty much all the posts on this blog. I wonder what they would call that?
Insanity.
Ah, good word.
That reminded me of Dolly Parton: "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb… and I also know that I'm not blonde."
It's always nice to be reminded of Dolly Parton, by the way.
"It's always nice to be reminded of Dolly Parton, by the way." I'll take your word for that.
I and two of my brothers were tow-headed blondes as children and our hair gradually darkened to a dark blonde as we got older. I get the dumb blonde jokes thrown at me all the time from guys and I can laugh at them. Funny thing is that once they actually have an intelligent conversation with me they usually admit that I am quite smart. I have an B.A. in Business and Economics with a minor in Accounting (graduated with a 4.0 GPA) and a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Epidemiology and graduated with a 3.9 GPA. I also was awarded many scholastic scholarships and was on the Dean's List and President's List every semester during my college career, and now I earn more than my father or brothers ever have. I think the key is to never take yourself too seriously. Frankly, in order for someone's opinion to matter I would first have to deeply respect that person, and some random guy throwing out an off the cuff remark like that is so insignificant. He should have never been fired for that. Maybe warble gloaming will melt the snowflakes?!
One can always hope.
Personally the first things I look at are the eyes. [Well, maybe the second thing?] Hair colour doesn't affect my judgement these days as I just assume that the colour probably isn't natural. I never went for that "blondes are dumb" thing as it is just an overworn bad joke. I imagine that Marilyn Monroe may have something to answer for there?
