I am not sure exactly when or how it happened, but many women today are acting much like bimbos.
Thing is being a bimbo is a bad thing to be, or it used to be widely understood as such.
Bimbos go for loser guys who break their hearts. They dress and act in ways that draw the wrong sort of attention. Bimbos are unfaithful. Bimbos can’t control themselves or their emotions. Their choices and actions eventually lead to poverty, misery, and aloneness. Bimbos make bad choices time and again but don’t seem to learn from their mistakes.
Don’t kid yourself, being a bimbo is not the new black. It’s no better than it ever was, and it’s not working any better than it ever did.
How did the women’s movement lead to more bimbos and less women of character? Ironic, isn’t it?
I think they have always been with us. I don’t know what it is about feminism that has enabled this, but it has opened this option for far more women than in the past. It must be something about removing responsibility.
True Fuzzie, now there are seemingly no consequences. But in reality the bimbo run may be fun early in life but it still doesn’t lead anywhere good in the end! Sure such women may get govt. handouts but they still have nowhere near the quality of life a good woman w a good man enjoys. Especially after age 50. Nowhere near.
Totally off topic but the girls and I were out today and sitting nearby was a gal w two girls, one same age as my youngest and then a baby about 10 months. I started making funny faces at the baby to make her smile and then she wouldn’t stop looking at me. Then her mom said, “I really really have to go to the bathroom, can you hold the baby?” Squee! Yes!!!! So I did and she was a doll, so happy and charming all of us until her mom returned. Baby fix! And I felt honored she trusted me, a total stranger, but I think she could tell I would love it! 😀 and I have been there, trying to use a public restroom w a baby. No fun! Sometimes ya just gotta go! Lol.
There are a lot of references to the bimbo lifestyle in film from the early sixties but it went out of style with the coming of feminism. With that and the current version, both have the drawback of only being feasible as long as the women are desirable. Add to that, there is no security.
Glad to hear about the baby.
Bimbo! Sounds like a name for skank hobbit. Come to think of it most of the bimbos I knew ended up looking like little fat hobbit folk when they reached their later years.
Interesting.

Bimbo a.k.a. totally disposable.
“Women of character”
In 2017
AHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaaaaa
Lol Horseman, dare to dream! I am trying to be one anyway, and raise my girls to be as well. Not that I am perfect by any means but I try! Living a life of character just makes sense to me, less drama, less angst, more happiness!
I think that what you are referring to is actually a “slut”, not a “bimbo”. Bimbos are just dumb girls who are typically attractive but disposable. They aren’t that common anymore because they’ve been replaced by sluts. Sluts are common, and most are actually not attractive but think that they are because they can get sex on command because of the 80/20 ratio. They dress in clothes that try to show off that they are sexually “empowered”, but they really are just making up for the fact that they are usually damaged and don’t offer anything of quality. They are also disposable. A bimbo can be faithful. A slut cannot. Feminism encourages slut behavior but discourages bimbo behavior, because they believe that bimbos are not self-sufficient and empowered but they believe that the sluts are. Basically, a bimbo serves man. A slut serves herself.
Think of old movies. The bimbos were always fawning over Harley McBadboy. They usually depend upon a man. Modern sluts are supposed to be portrayed as self-sufficient and a lot of them are stupid liberal millennials who engage in practices like polyamory to pretend like they are less slutty than they really are. Bimbos usually dress sexy but have acceptable practices of wearing makeup and being feminine. Sluts are usually masculine, have green or purple hair (or some other insane color like hot pink), and have piercings or tattoos above their ass crack.
See the difference? They don’t call it the “Bimbo Walk”. They call it the “Slut Walk”.
For Fuzzie.
The word “Bimbo” is like the word “Idiot”
Everyone is an idiot from time to time and life offers opportunities to be an idiot every day. Many people line up to that those opportunities, which is why they are idiots.
I think all women are bimbos occasionally, and life offers most women an opportunity to be a bimbo quite frequently. Some women jump on every opportunity to be a bimbo they get. Which is why they are bimbos.
All bimbos are idiots but not all idiots are bimbos.
I see what you guys are saying, even bimbos of old knew there were social lines they shouldn’t cross, and knew their behavior was frowned upon, vs the full on brazen kind today.
Maybe it’s the difference between Dolly Zparton and Madonna? Dolly saw the town tart as a child and wanted to be her — the hair, the makeup, the flasks clothes. But despite her ample chest she always seemed chaste still. Vs Madonna who was probably the first celeb to full on embrace the slut persona.
Oops that was Dolly Parton and flashy.

An early definition of a Bimbo might be a Marilyn Monroe “type,” flashy superficial and childlike. Word on the street is that Monroe was actually fairly intellectual and often famously bitchy but I’m thinking of the persona she sold to the public. Bimbo was a pretty standard act when a woman wanted to get a guy to do something for her, “I’m a little dim and a bit helpless but I’m cheerful and I know I’m pretty and I’d be so grateful if some big ole man would just come along and fix this tire!”
Later it seems to me to have morphed into the girl who only cares about superficial things, life defined by Cosmo. Wearing the right shoes, finding the next man, Sex in the City. I had several girlfriends like that. I was shocked a couple of times when the superficial Cosmo Girl “this is who the media tells me I should be” act slipped away and they cut loose with some really profound observations. Was that the real Girlfriend? Uh, no. I’d commend them on that sort of stuff but in reality it seemed they were much more interested in getting attention for their least serious qualities.
Could it be that being a Bimbo is an act? Or a survival or approval based behavior? Well, I’m sure there are a few true dumbunnies out there, the real thing.
A Dad,
I love it!! I am glad that someone else brought in the pastry reference. That is a cute bear and a very effective mascot to promote pastry sales.
To tie in with what Toad was saying, while the word ends with an “o”, denoting a masculine gender, I have heard it applied to poor quality high rollers in a casino environment.
Alan,
I get the feeling that Marilyn Monroe had to be a very dangerous candidate for a companion.
I hear she had hubby Arthur Miller abandoned in the desert while shooting The Misfits. Now THAT’s a $*it Test!
I always found that cutsie little girl act to be a real turn off. But I’m much more of a Lauren Bacall aficionado. A slightly earlier era.
Lauren Bacall stuck by Bogie till the end. She was a good wife.
ohhh, it’s the BEST, isn’t it!!!
a young mom with two little boys – one in the seat and one in the cart – pulled up behind me in line at the grocery last week. the baby had been fussing thru most of the store, so i let her in front of me. she was grateful; said the baby (9-12 months) was fussing b/c he couldn’t have some of the food in the cart. so i distracted him a little, and when her turn came up, i helped put her groceries on the belt so she was able to pick up the baby. she was so grateful and calmed a bit as we chatted mommy-baby talk. but the time she was ready to pay, baby’s disposition had changed and he was happily back in his seat.
it’s the little things 🙂
many-a-time i took the whole cart with two littles into the handicapped stall 🙂

i’d like to think there are some of us women of character around too, Bloom 🙂
Lauren Bacall was also one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood when she was younger. Didn’t hurt that she could actually act and also starred with Bogey in some pretty notable film noir. I want to go watch some of it right now.
Favorite Bacall moment: “To Have and Have Not” but I think it’s earlier in the film than the above clip. She and Bogey are in the hotel lobby when the place gets a drive by machine gunning. They duck behind a column for cover. She sort of squirms, like maybe she’s going to stick her head out or something stupid. He restrains her. She gives him a look: chill out, buddy. She says, cool as only Bacall can be: “I think I’m sitting on somebody’s cigarette.”
Not a Bimbo.
“Not a bimbo.”
I think this is a thread winner.
I believe she was a Ford Agency model before coming to Hollywood and I believe the agency is still in business. Somebody there has discerning taste.
Bimbo = attractive yet unintelligent woman who generally gets by on her looks. If she is kind hearted ans loyal most men would call that a gold medal win in the SMP/ MMP Olympics
From a comment at Dalrocks
“There is no way for a man to ‘be strong’ and ‘effortlessly take charge of the situation’ all the time every time in any zeitgeist. It’s an impossible standard that if met would make pointless the woman’s role helpmate.
From a woman’s perspective, that’s the whole point: women these days have no desire whatsoever to be helpmates. In fact, the very notion that they’re supposed to contribute anything at all to a marriage is an idea patently offensive to most of them.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that more and more men are waking up to the realization that Western women today are nothing but (additional) burdens in a man’s life, and potentially dangerous ones at that. Not only do they NOT add anything positive to a marriage, but in fact pose a very real danger of taking away/destroying what a man already has. Even the most beta/delta of men are FINALLY coming to realize this.”
Actually its easy to be strong and in control of any situation.
Go your own way!
No useless “helpmates”, no useless “social” obligations, no honeydo lists.
Its my life, I do what I want. Why? Because I can.
Do shit I don’t want to do? No! Why? Because I don’t have to.
Wanna tag along? Fine just dont get in the way or ask for shit.
Don’t like my path? Fine, its your life, live it, go away.
If you chose the situations, you dont need to be strong.
It does take will though, to ignore the jealousy, shaming, coersion.
Horsemans rule of life
Always make sure they need you more than you need them so you are free to do or do not as you please.
(Money doesnt buy happiness, the freedom to choose does.)

We touch on this over and over. The current and growing form of feminism (like many around here I separate that earlier and vastly healthier interpretations) forces men to meet it with a great deal more “Alpha-ism” in order to spark attraction and maintain relationships. It’s remarkable how quickly this situation has blown up.
I’m sure that my best early relationship (older than me, and from a violent and tribal culture) would be utterly unmanageable if we were to start it with the ethos of today. In the 1980s it worked. She unconsciously (looking back on it) seemed to do things that led me to being the man who she wanted to be with … and a better man in general. So much of what I see today is the opposite; women unconsciously doing all they can to break a guy down, to turn him into what they DON’T want.
There is nothing wrong with women improving their lot in life but they sometimes might get farther if they improved that of their men. Men made this choice by going along with earlier forms of feminism and that was probably a good thing for all … too much of anything, however, can be less than optimal.
The furry is underperforming. Only 20% of comments. Frustrated.
Anyway, RPG, “bimbo”, to a guy means “attractive but dumb.” It doesn’t mean slut. Goldie Hawn (who I actually rode with once on the Acela, and she’s a sweetheart) is a bimbo, professionally (i.e., she plays the innocent and confused girl who is also attractive). Goldie Hawn is not a slut. She’s been trying to make it work with the same guy for 30 years.
@ Ton I think that’s called a unicorn 😉
@bv true, yesterdays bimbo is not the same as todays slut. In fact, even bimbos who “got around” back then probably slept with fewer people than todays average gal. I was always under the impression that a bimbo was the kind of girl who “might,” perhaps because she was simple enough to get talked into it? But point taken. Even tramps back then were probably tame compared to todays average
Horseman,
I think you just brought very good point to light. Modern marriage is not about furthering the man’s agenda, it is about furthering the woman’s. My brother raised this question with me decades ago and I couldn’t help. He’s still married.
Other bimbos:
Suzanne Somers’ character Chrissy on Three’s Company
Pretty much any character played by Judy Landers
Fortunately, the furry weighed in with an opinion not based on actual experience, but TYPING.
RPG, “bimbo” to someone my age is just a good looking innocent with a 90 IQ. It’s variant is “trophy wife”, which a friend of mine called my wife one night. She left the table, and so did I. (This was in my house.) I returned with a shotgun.
His wife, who hates me, had already left. So he had to walk home five miles in the country in the dark. Never apologized though.
I have no website. Thank you thank you thank you for posting. I needed to read it. It’s so awful, and it works.
