When I was blonde people were more surprised by my intelligence and I did find it harder to progress in work as they put me into a stereotype. I don't get so many whistles and beeps now I dye my hair black lol xx
This is true for anyone that looks beautiful, male or female, it's assumed that they are only their "looks", that they're good-looking not smart nor capable...until proven otherwise, and even then, people generally chalk it up to a "lucky guess" not actual intelligence...I guess it's just hard to believe that someone with beauty can also have brains...definite profiling/stereotyping going on as well.
