Why are boys so confusing?

Why do boys always go for the pretty girls? They have to have the blonde hair and blue eyes! But what about the girls with dark hair and green eyes? Aren't they pretty too? Boys always go for the pretty girls, they want to look popular with those girls and be considered cool cause they go out with the "cute" girls! What's so cute about a ton of blonde cheerleaders thinking they're better then everyone else? In all the movies the blonde cheerleader has the guy at the beginning but then, in the end, the brunette get's him. Why can't it be like that in reality? Boys are so confusing. One moment they are together with the geeky girl, the next moment they are dancing at prom with a cheerleader. Why can't the girls that make sense and are beautiful in there own way be loved. Why are boys so cute, yet so hard.

not to be creepy but i think i'm the guy version of whoever wrote this article. I always go for the girl that follows her own path and is who she really is. i respect that so much, and im not really atracted to the falseness of the girls that you talk about. Its all about who you are. thanks for writing and speaking my mind for me.

 The same can be said for girls, but fortunatly one day they will realise, prettiness brings someone to your attention and the personality makes them worthwhile

There is nothing wrong with being a red hair. A lot of hot guys think I'm pretty and I'm I have red hair

I think that's a little bit of a generalization. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I have never had a single boyfriend, nor has any boy ever shown an interest in me. I think it's the TYPE of person - the cheerleaders and ... ahem, EVIL... types of girls. It's NOT just appearance.

i am a red head but i die my head BROWN never blonde because there are to many jokes for blonde girls... but i am gay so i dont have to worry about boys hitting on me or dating me because i have a girlfriend that i am engaged to but thats not the point. i changed my hair color because i was made fun of for being a read head. so i changed not for a guy or girl to like me, i changed for people to stop making fun of me.

it seems like there is alot of conflicts about what kind of girls that boys like. But what if a guy likes a girl who has brown hair but doesnt want to tell her that he likes her. What if he just dates a girl that is a cheerleader but doesnt really like her? What happens if that guy finally tells the girl his true feelings? does that mean that he is bad for liking someone who is not blonde... and to talk about that odds are the blonde cheerleaders arent even naturally blonde so the boys that fall...

Your point seems to be that guys should learn from movies and go after girls who have neither blonde hair nor blue eyes simply because the movies predict that the blonde hair blue eyed girls are not ideal for the boys. I have brown hair and brown eyes, so I'm not trying to defend the blondes or the blue eyes out there because I'm one of them. The reason why you and all the other people who agree with you don't end up with the hottest guys or the most guys is that you're idiots. Please work on yo... (more »)

alot of guys can be like that they go for looks not personality, the popular guys go out with the popular girls the ones that have amazing hair and bodys usualy they go out with them for looks.

it is possible that you can find a guy that wont want to go out with the girl wiith the amazing body and perfect skin he will choose the girl that isnt so skinny and dosnt have perfect skin

its just the way guys are made

Well, guys are just made that way. Why are girls so confused? Why are girls cunfusing? We have to answer these things about ourselves, also. I think that guys want a pretty girl to feel better about themselves and they're just for show. I feel that every girl is going to be attractive to someone else. If the guy doesn't want to be with you because he likes blonde hair and blue eyes, it's probably because that's his preference. It's not that he isn't capable of liking a girl like you, but it's be... (more »)

Pretty good article, many girls that are falling head over heals for a guy could relate. Though, honestly, what your saying isn't completely true. Guys don't only follow the blond girl, like girls, it depends on their type of finding a girl that is "pretty". Though your idea is clear and I believe many can relate! :)

Okay, speaking as a natural blonde with blue eyes who hasn't yet broke a hundred pounds... They don't ALWAYS go for the looks, and the ones that do, as was said before, generally aren't worth the time of day. Just being a blonde doesn't mean you're popular, either. ;) But, I tend to agree with the main gist of the article, guys are incredibly confusing. Not all of them are jerks, though, just remember that! :)

Well, while I do understand where you are coming from, I have to say that this is not the case everywhere in the world. Each culture has their own idea of pretty and what is beautiful. And guys don't just only go for the blondes. But I do agree that this is a stereotype that should be broken---what should matter more is on the inside.

i've noticed that if you look hard enough and don't hide (not saying you do) and show your true self, you should be you and get someone like your self. my boyfriend is the same as me....... just be yourslef... he got made fun of 'cuz hes goth, so did i for the same reasons.... him being himself and me being myslef is what got us together........... be yourself and you'll get yours :) trust me....

That's a stereotypical, jerk guy. A guy worth your time is nothing like this. If a guy is asking for anything more than a girl with their idea of a beautiful personality, you should stay away from them. A guy who looks for eye candy isn't worth your time. There are really great guys out there you just have to avoid the jerks that have become our stereotype.

It does also depend on the group of guys you survey, or even the area you live in. I think its also safe to assume that there are girls who look at more than just some ones eyes and smile.

you have to understand that guys are a lot more visual than girls ( its been proven.) In general, guys look at appearances , then when they get to know that girl, that's when they decide if they like them or not. But for girls, guys don't display as much as girls, ( body parts) so girls tend to mature faster and have to rely on other things to find that they like in a guy rather than physical features.

I understand that but its just the fact that he stares at her and asked for a bj. I understand that guys are its just... guys like him. I was a little harsh saying that and i shouldn't have been, and I apologize.

Yeah, i dunno, at our school, the cheerleaders are kind of a joke actually. So blonde cheerleader doesn't apply to me; yeah we kind of have a cool crowd, but nobody really cares much about them anyway. I have to say, i have brown hair and hazel eyes (which nobody believes) and i'm very smart, not a nerd, have lots of friends, and yet i NEVER EVER EVVVERRR got the guy. Ever. Not that they never liked me, i just never got it in the end. Well, jokes on all the cool girls, because i've got the best ... (more »)

It doesn't matter what color your hair is or what color your eyes are if a guy can't except you for who you are then he's probably not worth it. I have noticed that guys also go after your personality too.

I'm the captain of our cheer squad, and I'm definately the "cheerleader" type. I'm blonde with blue eyes, I'm skinny, I'm popular and I'm super smart (I'm in all advanced classes). But nobody except ONE guy is "falling head-over-heels for me" or has even gone out with me, and he's the quarterback, but I've known him for awhile and we went out before either of us got very popular. So, you can't say that they ALWAYS go for the cheerleader type.

This paragraph is not realistic at all. Yes, I agree that in the movie's the Blonde cheerleaders are always the ones who get the boys. That's not how it is in real life at all. In reality, boys don't care what color your hair or eye's are. If they like you, then they so be it. If not, get over it and move on. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and blonde har doesn't say anything about how a person acts.

 I can agree, but now that I look at it from a new perspective i say that it isn't always true. boys going through puberty look for girlls who just so happen to have more shapeliness.

They will find out what they are missing out on. My boyfriend told me once If they don't like you, they aren't good enough.

  That was then but I still believe it,

i will always love you tristan no matter what.
