For many years, the unspoken scientific consensus was that the taxonomical opposite of the bimbo was the himbo. This assumption was based on an antiquated model of gender as a binary and linguistic similarities. Drawing on recent developments and understandings, I propose a multi-dimensional model that situates the bimbo and himbo in a more robust taxonomical context; the opposite of the bimbo is not the himbo but the manic pixie dream girl while the opposite of the himbo is the twink. The himbo and bimbo are not gendered opposites but rather potentially taxonomical "cousins" with significant differences between each other beyond the surface gendered attributes. With this radical shift in ontological assumptions, this model can also bring clarification to a
