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 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.

Are boys really confusing or is it just that you don't understand them?

not all cheer leaders are blonde and stuck up.
I think looks don't matter. I remember a friend of mine once asked if I preferred blondes or brunettes. I said I didn't.
Now, I do have a special condition called synesthia, which allows me to discern more than the average person.
The most attractive type of person is someone who is contagiously joyful. Perhaps the main reason I like the gal I like is because I cannot help but chuckle with joy inside every time she smiles.
If you're acting and dressing to attract shallow guys, you will. You will become in the process a shallow girl, and any deep, good guys won't go for you. So, my recommendation is to always act as if you wished the ultimate good of everyone you meet, and always be joyful. Don't fake happiness, but rather try to suppress feelings of sadness and encourage those of joy. This is the way to attract the type of man who is deep, and thoughtful, and like you will be wishing everyone's ultimate good and being joyful.

Ok, listen, I'm Victoria's (the girls who wrote this) friend. And she wasn't trying to offend anyone AT ALL! She would NEVER IN A MILLION years try to hurt someone's feelings or treat them mean! Some of you guys are REALLY taking this "essay" the wrong way, she wasn't trying to be offensive, she gave her opinion! And I'm not just pointing this comment to you (PoetOfNyx16) , it's to everyone! She wasn't trying to be mean, please don't take it like that cause some of u guys just aren't understanding what she means, I was with her when she wrote this and she was having a bad day and just felt like writing something, but she wasn't trying to be mean to anyone! So plz stop leaving you guys's rude and inconsiderate comments without understanding! Gosh!

well ima redhead and looks do! matter. its what grabs peoples attention and sometimes they never look further or get to know you right. the other girls that are less pretty need to stsand out so teh guys notice them to and will end up likeing them for their persoanlity. and guys arent shallow ive had like 5 guys cryy and get all upset guys and girls are ven and just as bad. so keep it yer pants everybodyy.

man. why do you have to stereotype like this? the only reason why i am going with a blonde with blue eyes is not only because shes beautiful. i could care less. its her personality and her humor that really draws me to her. you girls do it as much, if not more, than us guys. ever heard of the expression "Mr. Tall-Dark-And-Handsom"? its realy stopped me from getting the girls that im attracted to. because i dont fit into that stereotype
