Poll: Would you date/marry a bimbo? (Or for women, the male equivalent)

[Something Amyss]

OT: As long as they're not a superficial asshole, sure.

This is the problem with definitions, because when I think "bimbo," at the very least, "superficial" comes to mind. And very likely, "asshole" as well. But since it's such an ambiguous term, the answers aren't going to give a lot of real data.

Been there, done that. Won't go back to it now, the grass is much greener on the other side.

A purely physical attraction is always doomed to fail I think - for me, sex isn't just a physical thing, it's a mental thing as well, so if the right attributes aren't present, it's nowhere near as satisfying and fulfilling.

That picture is not a Dragon Ball Z character, its actually a female version fan art of a Street Fighter 3 character Remy.

Spoiler

The clothing that Remy is wearing is very similar to the female version above. However, the fan art is very weird since it does not represent Remy accurately. ( Also he does not wear sunglasses)



OT:

Nope. I am attracted to intelligence and personality more than appearance.

I think that's the chick krillin dated for a while. Surely it's not Bulma.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Maron [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Maron].

Oh. You're right. I only saw her show up once so I kinda forgot she existed.

Thats okay, forgetting that female characters exist in Dragonball is exceedingly common. [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Launch#Trivia]

Ouch.

To be fair, once the Saiyan's show up, everyone else becomes horribly unimportant. Although, even yajarobi managed to show up from time to time...

Yes to both. I don't know what else to add. A person I'd love is a person I'd love.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

No, I wouldn't consider dating or marrying a dumb guy. Or girl, for that matter.
Intelligence is important to me. Knowledge, not so much, just raw mental capacity. The ability to learn more and think fairly quickly.
I wouldn't really consider going out with anyone who can't keep up with or surpass me in intelligence. Yeah, sure, call me shallow or picky or whatever you want. Though, I suppose shallow is applied in the looks department, not brain.

 

[mduncan50]

I would see "not smart enough" in the same light as "not big enough boobs" or "not thin enough". If they're a good person that you get along with and love, why would you get hung up on something that they can't change?

I think I would be too shocked that anyone actually wanted to date me. Saying no wouldn't be possible. Then again, the premise is that she isn't exactly the brightest or most sensible person, so that might explain it...

That said, long run, depends on how we communicate. Once the initial shock wears off and I regain my own senses, we'll see if she can hold a lengthy conversation in the stupid stuff that drives everyone else away.

 

[The Enquirer]

Of course someone who looks good is nice, and not to say I'm not concerned about looks but I've had my fair share of, let's say, less than insightful girlfriends. That isn't to say they weren't good people and kind hearted, just it did hurt the relationship.

I would see "not smart enough" in the same light as "not big enough boobs" or "not thin enough". If they're a good person that you get along with and love, why would you get hung up on something that they can't change?

I'm seeing not smart enough as in, may not be able to hold a conversation about more serious topics (not rocket science, but things couples actually need to do: raising kids, financial planning etc) so, to be blunt, how dumb are we talking here?

EDIT: My answer may change but for now, yes, I would, just, like some of my previous relationships, I don't know how long it would last.

 

[Saltyk]

So I know a guy who dates a girl who is... Not very bright. Now, she's awesome, sweet, cute, and fun. But not very smart. I don't want to go into more detail than that because I do like her.

Could I date someone like her? Maybe. Probably not, though. I feel like I would constantly be talking down to such a person. Having to explain jokes and concepts. And just not be challenged intellectually. Not something I would want.

I think that's the chick krillin dated for a while. Surely it's not Bulma.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Maron [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Maron].

To be fair: Chiaotzu and Yamcha.
They didn't even show up in the last movie. And the last important thing Chiaotzu ever did was blow himself up to NOT kill Nappa. Launch probably beat more enemies than both of them combined, too.

Well, I think once you get to THAT level you're dealing with a mentally handicapped woman, and that's a whole other story. For reference I'm thinking Baywatch actress level of bimbo. And I mean the brains part, not the boobs part.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

Maybe? It would depend on the person, how well we got on, personality, shared interest, etc. I probably wouldn't be interested in someone who was defined by their vapidity (that's the noun for vapid!?) and shallowness, mainly because I'd probably make some leap of logic and conclude that they probably aren't the best sort of person to be with. I probably wouldn't dismiss someone for not being the sharpest as long as it wasn't overbearing/irritating since that doesn't define a person much more than their looks.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Huh...is Paragon Fury looking to hook up with someone?

 

[Frankster]

So she is "vapid" but she doesn't have any negatives otherwise?

That's fine with me. Honestly if not being able to talk high litterature and the political intricacies of the 16th century Ottoman ruling classes is the price I have to pay to have a companion that I share interests with, enjoy being around with, and is damn attractive to boot? I'll buy that for a dollar!

 

[Joccaren]

Casually? Yeah, not a problem.
A serious relationship? It'd need to progress from a casual one, and it'd depend a lot on who they are as a person, exactly what 'bimbo' sort of characteristics they have, and who exactly who they are. For example, a lot of a time my partner ATM isn't the brightest. She's not stupid by any means, but she often just neglects to think about some things, ends up fairly clumsy at times, and is all round a little absent minded. She is intelligent though, and in terms of knowledge and skills in her area of expertise she's pretty well-versed, and her personality beyond the high level superficial stuff you mention in the OP is lovely.

It really depends on the person themselves though, more than whether or not that fit the definition of 'bimbo'. That said the outgoing party focused people really just rub me the wrong way, and I would struggle to date them unless it was handled well, but even then it can be handled well.

Since we're working under that definition, then yea, definitely. I really don't see any reason not to give her an honest chance in a serious relationship.
