You can say something like: "Is that the best you can come up with? I'm blonde and hence I'm dumb? Please insult me more intelligently next time..." Or something like that...

Take some time and sit down and work out a sentence which basically insults their intelligence but use the biggest words you can find, use a thesaurus and find unusual or little used words and then let them spend the rest of the day figuring out they were insulted.

You should'nt laugh it off at all in the first place, that's he wrong reaction because it put you in a position of weakness. I'd suggest being serious to the point and not worry about what they think or feel about it, but I would not be emotional, or use any profanity.

When they expect a response or reaction, say nothing and show no emotion whatsoever. Do this for a bit while staring into their eyes; They'll see your hate. Then smirk gently (optional), turn, and walk away.

Fire off a brunette or redhead joke in their direction....they will soon get the message.

You just look them in the eye with a worried and almost scared look on your face and say OMG did you just fart because I think I heard shit.

Well, you could try responding to a joke by not smiling in the slightest, and staring them in the eye with an expressionless face. Keep it up as long as you can, or until they break eye contact. Then say, "Very amusing."

Honestly, Freedom Issues, anyone who'd crack a blond joke in front of a blond is not real bright himself. As Ariszted said, "Stereotypes are a moron's way of putting his world in order." The next time Genetic Throwback opens his big mouth, remind yourself that his IQ probably resides firmly on the left side of the bell-shaped curve. You do realize that your sensitivity and dismay at these types of comments and jokes is the very thing that proves you're intelligent, right? Sensitive people are usually smart. IOW, if you weren't smart, the jokes wouldn't bother you. I've read your answers. You're intelligent, chick. Just look at this question. It's clear and concise, well-written and expressive. IMO, only someone with a fairly high IQ could have written that question. Remember that whenever you hear, "Ditz!" Intelligence aside, don't discount the value of high self-esteem. Maybe yours could use a boost. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt.

nobody can offend you unless you let them.

Instead of letting it bother you, play with it. For instance, tell a blond joke of your own, then follow it up with an even more condescending name to call yourself, better than the "ditz" they made up, be creaative , how bout "Dizzy goobin floggin wobbler". And really emphasize your eagerness to rename yourself something you'd be really offended by. Play up on those "sensitive about my intelligence" qualities you have, by excluding them from the mix altogether. You can't be sensitive about your intelligence if you pretend you don't have one. Oh, don't forget to laugh. Loud and alot. Very very loud and an very often. Good luck.

Definitely ignore it. My dad used to tell me "consider the source" whenever my feelings would get hurt. Now, a friend isn't going to say such things to you..why do you care what non-friends say? Just because someone says something insulting doesn't make it true/real/pertinent/material. I'd greet it in total silence..it deserves no response. I'd also dump these people..who the heck needs that kind of crap? Happy Saturday! :)

Anyone generalizing a certain group by their natural traits is a douche to begin with, just keep that in mind and picture them naked LOL :P

A baseball bat works pretty good,hahahaha.

I turn it on them. Some times out loud but some times just to myself. Take the negativity and make it a positive! Prove how dunb the person is by showing you are the better person!

Know that blonde jokes are not directed at you!!! Don't take them personally. There are ditzy brunettes, redheads, and women with black hair! The joke wasn't made up about YOU! Try to remember that and laugh it off. There are a LOT of very intelligent blondes!

Who cares? They are joking, most of the time, anyway. You have to learn to take it at face value. If you seek ulterior motives, you may find some, but for the vast majority of people, they're just joking. Some do it for fun. Some because the know it bothers you, so they think they are teasing you. As soon as you learn to laugh it off, then they should subside. When you react, or "get bothered" by it, it remains fun for some. When you notice yourself doing something, just think to yourself (and/or say outloud), I'm having a blonde moment. My ex does that all the time, and she's not a real blonde! LOL The more you do it, the more it becomes part of you. And remember, they're only joking about a physical part of you (that you may or may not be able to control). NOT about your intelligence. (Ditz, to me, means clumsy, and maybe a little... "light headed". Even those who are intelligent can have "blonde moments". Play them up. Have fun with them. (I know what you are going through. I have always been TALL... EVERYONE tells me to watch for low-hanging branches, low bridges, door frames (sometimes I DO need to be reminded!), etc.) Just don't take it personally, and, if you can, joke back at them.

You've received some great advice already. Including only you can give or take the power to insult you. I will add that it gets easier with time.

I don't normally judge by outward appearance,however your questions,are intriguing,and I'm going to spend a lot of time answering them ,it's better then random q's.Knowing this,I see a picture posted,and the blond jokes,can only be an attack on your personality.Obviously they are jealous,not persuading you to be conceited.Just reminding you that you have no reason to be upset,not trying to insult your intelligence by responding,I doubt you feel that sensitive about something that obviously is untrue.Not judging u based on your picture,but according to my perception they have good reason to hassle you.No offense but your so beautiful it doesn't even matter what you look like period.You could loose your hair,teeth,even your flesh,perhaps your figure may change.I know beauty when I sense it.Even though you down rated my questions,I have interest answering yours,and do realize that it doesn't matter who you really are,and I know that could be a picture of your grand daughter,or anyone for that matter.Doesn't matter your questions have become my answer bag now.Who ever is in the picture is remarkably beautiful,and I hope that doesn't offend u.I realize that could be a picture of someone you dislike very much.It could even be a way of finally making her a beautfull person.
