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.

I'm blonde & blue-eyed and I don't know any guy at my school who thinks I'm hot so this is kinda stereotype. But guys at my school talk an laugh w/ me so what's that supposed to mean?

Not every guy likes those type of girls. Maybe some guys are just into those type. I mean I understand what you are saying, but at the same time it's not their fault. I use to believe that guys only choose girls for their looks, not saying that they don't, so do....trust me! But some guys aren't ALWAYS that way. I mean, there's always going to be one of the bad boys that always goes for the hot cheerleader type, whereas there will always be a guy who goes for the smart intelligent type.

Why are some teenage girls more sexist than teenage boys? Honestly, not all guys are part of this sterotypical cult of tools and d bags. Boys have hearts. It may take them more years to develop their emotions than girls, but they have emotions. And PS this article would sound just the same if the genders were switched. "Girls always fall for the muscular jock who cares about his triceps and his street cred instead of his GPA."

As a guy, I can say that I base no real importance on physical appearance so much as intellect, a sense of humor and the ability to care but I see what you mean. On behalf of my gender, I apologize

I soooooo agree with you. Why do boys always go for the elite group of thick, makeup slathered, popular, Barbie replica girls? Ugh, it gets me mad how boys are so stupid and never see the girl inside, only the short skirts and tight tops. 8( But on a lighter note, please check out my poems, The Girl Inside, Remembering Spring, and You Are The Lyrics In Me. And don't forget to comment! 8) Thanks!

Exactly! Sometimes boys love with their  eyes, not their heart. It may take an experience to make them realize what truly makes them happy. They may not realize they are making us feel this way, but I guess we better let them know...right?

1.I'm not sure when the scientific study of hair color relating to personality came out, but I would like to see the article that explains that relationship. I have blonde hair...but I think I'm a pretty nice girl. Hair color can change, and even eyes color can now too, but insides don't.

2.Also, it seems you have forgotten about a subgroup of guys--the nice ones who love girls for their inner beauty.

3.The part you seem to have avoided is that this is an article about the boys who are equivalent to your so-called "blonde cheerleaders". If there are girls who "make sense and are beautiful in their own way", then I bet you there are boys like that too.the boys you speak about haven't given the "geeky girls" a chance, but you haven't given the "geeky boys" a  chance either.

With all due respect, of course, but you can switch this article around and make it "why are girls so confusing" and just change the words from guy to girl because some girls are the exact same way. Guys arent the only ones either.
