Why are boys so confusing?
September 2, 2009
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 go to a school that's a lot different. At my school the guys date the girls who get in trouble, are hispanic, or extremely popular. Since most of the time im a loner with very light skin and have a practically perfect bahavior record im not on that list. Sure a few guys have asked me out but one was because he was trying to date every girl he could. the other was just to see if he could get a date with a girl. There is a guy i feel like im totally in love with mainly because he makes me feel like the most important girl in the world. He stayed up with me all night during a car ride just so i had someone to talk to, i told him about a guy that didn't like me because i wasn't pretty enough and he said that that guy missed out, so i have figured out that the guys that really like you aren't like the guys u described in your article.

I'm a brunette with brown eyes, and no one has called me beautiful. Guys seem to have their own system of what makes someone pretty, but I haven't found any that go for personality....

Alright I like any guy live up to the stereotype in a way but i get to know women for who they are and sometimes the socalled beautiful girls are "shallow" or "overprivilaged" because us guys are hormonally charged and look at features rather than personality but theres good guys out there that get to know girls for who they really are. But maybe your just looking for the wrong type of guy *shrugs*?

yeah i think you are right... Guys like girls who make them feel relevant. And who genuinely care for them without any strings attached. A little text msg, a smile, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, some1 who helps them with thier chores and stuff.... that will go a long way..

Ok i think the girl likes you but just doent want to admit it. U also sound a bit shy and most girls dont like that. try and express your feelings to this girl she might be going through some things in lher life that makes her react the way she does to you. for more advice u can email me on abims_oshodi@yahoo.com

My school has NO blonde cheerleaders. looks aren't super important. as long as you are happy with how you look, then nothing else matters.

i think the question here is really: ARE there any nice teenaged guys who like girls for who they are and not what they look like
I disagree with this. And I have a few reasons why:
1) It really does depend on the guy. I'm Filipina and I have brunette hair and brown eyes. The guys I've gone for and have gone out with, even my friends, don't even go for blonde girls. They like the Asian girls, like myself. So, it's the guy's preference.
2) Not all cheerleaders are blonde with blue eyes. I'm an "ex-cheerleader". I was good at the sport, but it just wasn't my interest. Now, I skateboard and breakdance. This proves that not all cheerleaders are stuck up and ditzy. There are also plenty of girls who are ditzy that aren't cheerleaders.
3) In the end, guys know that there are girls for fun and girls for serious. (This is what I've learned from my dad who gives me advice so I never get played by guys). At this age, a very large amount of guys want to just fool around and get as many girls to look cool. But, at the end of the day, they would never marry a girl that has no sense (doesn't necessarily have to be blonde). Their families would never approve and guys don't like girls that can't even think for themselves. Super dependent girls are so unattractive, no matter how physically attractive they are.
4) Beauty is so NOT based on someone's hair color and eye color. Does that mean that only caucasion, blonde, blue eyed girls are beautiful? DEFINATELY NOT. Lots of guys like exotic beauty.
Thus, it all is based on the preference of the guy. If you feel that you're being ignored by someone you like and you think it's because of your looks, STOP THINKING THAT WAY and find someone who will appreciate you for you...not someone who's just in it for the status and "blonde hair and blue eyes".

yah i didnt say they were, im frann's with some.. so mhmm.
That is true! ( i am a girl) My friends that are girls are always talking about the hott-dipwad guys that only go out with the pretty girls. It is like they purposfully choose the worst dudes and use them to represent the entire boy "kindom" or whatever. I happen to know some really great guys who arent like that. Not al guys are jerks...just the ones we happen to notice are. If more girls would care to glance at the back of the cafeteria, where the "nerds" or the "artists" are, maybe they would find the perfect guy they are looking for.
