I think that Shampoo has low intelligence because she never does anything
of any worth, apart from causing trouble... She does stupid things that
make Ranma end up disliking her more, rather than him liking her more like
she wated... She bounces everywhere like a bimbo... she tries to get into
Ranma's pants, like a bimbo would... And she *looks* like a bimbo, too!
That girl probably shares a brain cell with Cologne... and Cologne stole
it and added a couple of bytes of memory to it and kept it. ;p

Hmm, let's not be so hard on Shampoo!  According to her Amazon culture
violent methods are used to win love.  Cologne obviously supports this and
Mousse is certainly a good example.  To Shampoo, her methods are

The whole villiage is full of violent, stupid bimbos, then!

just an expression of how much she really wants Ranma.  Now the fact

Definately. She wants Ranma's body and doesn't give a damn about how he
feels at all. It expresses her infatuation with Ranma.

that they backfire on her and make Ranma more upset is not really her
fault.  I guess she should realize that later that they do but considering 
that time works weirdly in Ranma 1/2, we don't know how long she has
been in Japan.

Almost nine years, condensed into not even one year, with many seasons
passing by... ^_^

Anyways, she does NOT act like a bimbo.  I think she is just extremely
affectionate and  uninhibited.  Mousse declares he loves her all the

In otherwords... like a bimbo. Jumping into a guy's bed is a bimboish act,
especially when the guy doesn't want you there. So is ripping off your
clothes the first time the guy says 'I want to see you naked'

time in public so Amazons are probably very expressive.  I have friends

You don't see Mousse jumping into Shampoo's bed. He wants her for something
other than her body... unlike Shampoo who only wants Ranma's body.

who sorta glomp onto their boyfriends in public, and it does not make
them bimbos.  As for looking like a bimbo, what do you mean?  She

Ah, but they glomp onto their boyfriends, not a guy who doesn't want them!
And definately not onto a guy who loves someone else.

certainly looks exotic but then she's an Amazon, not a modern
Japanese girl.  I will concede that she is a bit of a ditz and not very

Look at the way her eyes are drawn when she isn't trying to kill someone.
They are totally empty, like Azusa's eyes!

quick, but then the Ranma gang (except for Nabiki) aren't exactly
gonna join Menza anytime soon.

But Shampoo's the slowest of them all... Kodachi's excuse is that she's too
insane to see that Ranma doesn't want her. Ukyou's not in this category
because Ranma acutally is her friend. She just hopes that the friendship
will turn into love. Shampoo doesn't have friendship not insanity to save
her! Nor will she give up, like she should, right at the end...

Kun-chan...
