OK, I always fail, and don't wanna keep failing in college. I try to get some things going with girls, just little innocent things like movies and all.. but it appears that they get freaked out or something. "Why do you want me to go?" "My parents would rather have us do that SAT study session at my house," etc. I am a polite gentleman of Russian descent, no bad manners whatsoever (no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no sex yet). I live with just my mom and stepdad, so there is no one to be afraid of. I just don't get it. Do I go to fast? Am i supposed to just be a little friendly with girls at school and such, and then slowly start going a bit further? These crazy American girls. And I would not say I am ugly, so I don't think my appearance scares anyone away. Could it be that I am Russian? Most girls say that my accent is sexy, so I don't see any problem with that. And it's not like I asked them about my accent, some girls just randomly come up and tell me that, and ask to speak in Russian. Some girls just make comments about my intelligence and call me a genius. I don't know what wrong -- girls dont like smart people or what???

Hmmm I don't know. I'm a girl & I think smart guys are fine. A lot of guys don't seem to like girls w/higher grades than them @ my school though. I need advice about guys. =(

Quarky, most high school students are incredibly fickle and don't know what to look for in a guy/girl. They probably couldn't even tell you why they would like one guy over another. But as a former Techer, I should warn you that your love life is not likely to improve at Caltech, if you end up there! Good luck with schools, though!

Hmm...lets see. From what I observe at my school, dating is like a cycle among the same group of people. The most popular and (good-looking, I guess) kids are all "friends" (even tho they talk smack behind everybody, but whatever) and they date in rotation. For example, little Alison dates Jay for two weeks then dates Jay's best friend Kevin while Jay dates Alison's classmate Lisa. Why don't you be friends with girls who are unique and not in this stupid cycle? I think girls who ask "why do you want to go" are stupid, and you seem to be above that. Ask girls out to group dates or something named "just hanging out" then progress from there on.

And remember, Quarky- girls love funny guys, but not mean A-holes who crack ppl at other ppl's expense. best of luck w/ da ladies!

hmmmmmmm this post was funny because it was different from the normal posts...im not so sure about you. you sound perfectly fine to me i'd say if you get yourself into a good college, girls would love you. people seem to be intimidated by people who are WAYYY smarter than themselves. i also agree with whoever said guys dont like dating girls who are smarter than them...most of the top 10 at my school are girls and most of them have never had bf's or have had very few, and none of us (well...besides one) are "weird" in any way. im sure you're a perfectly nice kid who will find the perfect girl. best of luck!

Yeah, I would think I would like a girl that does better than me in school, but it is really emmasculating, sorry. My school is different, I am the top boy and I am 7 in my class, but it seems that all the higher girls are popular but w/o boyfriends...weird. My advice to you girls is if you seem popular, us smart guys will avoid you, so don't try to look popular if you are interested...

Oh yeah, it is a definite turn-on to find a smart girl, but they are rare in my school. The top girls are really the top cheaters, and everyone below them is not too bright. I love the academic competitions to get to be around smarter people. College should be ~bliss~.

What are you talking about? For me to date a girl, intelligence is a definite quality that I look for. I want a girl I can talk to, not one who "stares at the orange juice."

By Me1 (Me1) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 05:34 pm: Edit

In one of my classes, a lot of people were complaining to the teacher about how the curve was so harsh. So the teacher announces that it's because I got 100 on the exam. (Note: the top 6 people got A's on the exam, so whether I had 100 or probably 85+ or so, I would have still been one of the A's, so the fact that I got 100 was kinda irrelevant). So then the next day the guy I liked was talking about how much he hated me. I walked into the room in the middle of the conversation, & I was so upset. I know that is kinda a stupid thing, but it just hurts. @ my school, most of the intelligent guys are really competative & wouldn't want to date a girl ranked higher than them.

By Sandy (Sandy) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 05:41 pm: Edit

"I don't know what wrong -- girls dont like smart people or what??? "
Quarky, that's definitely one trait I would look for and I am sure many other girls do too. Intelligence and personality are more important to some people (like me) than looks and money. Be who you are, be smart, and you will find that person!

Quarky,

You sound like my dream guy. My first bf was Russian and super smart. Ever since then I've always had a thing for handsome, smart, russian boys. In fact I am just kinda fascinated by Russia in general. I actually bought one of those "teach yourself Russian casset and book" gimmicks. Anyways, I think you're picking the wrong girls. If they don't wanna go to the movies with you, it's their loss.

one more thing from a girl

to whoever said the smart girls seem popular, and therefore guys avoid them...

none of the top girls in our class are the "ditzy popular" kind. we kind of form our own social circle regarded highly among the school as normal but smart, and therefore we befriend many, many people. none of us are ugly, nerdy, etc and we're actually friendly (believe it or not...)

i am REALLY good friends with almost all the girls in the top 10 of my class, being in the same classes with them year after year and one of my guy friends told me this: "you know, i really admire you girls. you are some of the few who can prove time after time that you can live without a boyfriend, and that independence is great. it proves your determination."

with this said, most of the smart girls are extremely independent. success is not measured by our makeup, clothing, hair, or our boyfriends. most of the guys in my school flock toward the girls who are insecure and always in need of a bf-the girls who spend hours and hours perfectly curling their hair every morning.

i think guys are scared of smart girls because they think we're "untouchable" or like "high society" or something who look down upon everyone else. with the exception of one extremely arrogant pompous little brat ranked 1st in our class who nobody likes because of her big head (you'd think she was the president or something...), none of us are that bad! people who get to know us say we are nothing like they expected and are normal people. we're open to anything so dont be afraid!

a big reason why smart people dont have boyfriends? the people with good grades tend to be very well rounded, heavily involved with extracurriculars and stuff and simply dont have the time for a commitment.

really...we're not that bad! i'd like to have a bf who was smart, down to earth, funny, and with an accent...

quarky-seeing as how your classmates think you're a genius, you're bound for a top school where you're surrounded by geniuses! smart girls like smart guys! as long as you dont lock yourself up in a dorm and study all day, you'll be totally fine in college...

was that long enough?

By Laur~abby (Laur~abby) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 06:24 pm: Edit

Quarky,
I really wish you would've gone to my school!!! I have the same problem with guys, there's nothing wrong with me (at least that I can tell) but I haven't had a boyfriend in 2 years (he wasn't a bad one though!). People tell me that it's the intimidation factor... that guys aren't interested because I'm #1 in the class and that scares them. It is probably the same situation for you, only switched around... But if you go to a college where everyone came from the top of their class, that intimidation factor should become obsolete and you should have much better luck! At least that's what I'm hoping for me! Good luck!!!

What I said was the smarter girls in my school are popular and then you disagreed with me but made the exact same statement. I guess it is all about perspective from the inner-circle. By avoiding, I mean avoid dating, not avoid any conversation. So you proved my point but with a different attitude. I don't want to start an argument or anything, so I will just say, "you are 100% correct"

By Saera (Saera) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 06:31 pm: Edit

The all like the pretty popular ones. Honestly I can't wait until college, when I'll finally get to be around people more like me...public school can really be hell.

By Zimmer (Zimmer) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 06:38 pm: Edit

Remnants of the red scare, my friend, is perhaps the reason girls stay a safe distance from you. I'm joking=) Best of luck with the women. You're time will come, sooner than you think! It will.

It's my personal experience that the best relationship is one that starts out platonic -- a close friendship founded on trust -- and then, inevitably, breaks out into a torrid and sexually charged long-term affair.


If you want women, you should apply to Stanford.

By Sunshine916 (Sunshine916) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 06:38 pm: Edit

okay hsimpson, i guess i see where you're coming from now. (sorry...) we sort of stay away from the dating scene more than most girls. we dont obsess about guys and bf's because we have different priorities and more important things to think about. but i must say...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US has gone on dates and/or had a boyfriend. come on...we're still human. we still have the same raging hormones all adolescents have. hey we cant miss out on all the fun! i'd say one huge turn off is lack of confidence from guys. you can't think you're not good enough for us or we'll automatically think the same thing about you. approach the smarties with confidence and you stand a fighting chance. most of us would die before dating an idiot. as smartest male of your school, the smart girls should love you!

By Mattimatt (Mattimatt) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 06:49 pm: Edit

A big problem with most smart girls: "THEY'RE NOT OUTGOING!"
Which, in my opinion, is why they don't have boyfriends. Maybe it's because they are always so busy studying and doing EC's or they're just afraid that it might hurt their grades if they get involved in a gf/bf relationship.
I personally look for intelligence as an important factor with personality in a girl, but not if it makes her seem boring.

hmm, I guess my school is messed up. I never had a gf, practically none of the smarter guys have. You have to go down to like 20% class rank to find a guy that has had a g/f. It is probably our fault tho. I am too shy to confront girls unless it is about school or something else like that. Damn my introversion(?) I spend most of my life working, playing tennis, studying, or on comp. Most smarter guys are unsocial or just timid. Perhaps we overthink every situation? Sorry about your prob Quarky, hopefully life will get better in college. With a school of 15000 people, your odds will dramttically increase ;)

Well that sorta almost happened at my school;
girl whose parents had 1600's (both went to Yale)
she and her brother both got 1600's and they both go to Yale

ha ha ha....Go create your superhumans!

only 1500, so i am out of the super race

My parents were both in the low 1300's so maybe I have an inherent gene for super evolution each generation. (or maybe scores just depend on wealth of your family) The former case is much more interesting, though

I have seen a correlation b/w smartness and not being sociable in both genders. However, there are always exceptions. If I have the time, I am ready to party. If not, then forget about it. As far as shyness is concerned, common guys. You have the looks, the personality, and the brains. Why are you shy then??? Get out there and prove it!

By Quarky (Quarky) on Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 09:07 pm: Edit

OK, now I actually read all the posts. I didn't mean to stress my intelligence here. I have to agree that "I have seen a correlation b/w smartness and not being sociable in both genders"(Sandy). However, I am not one of those stereotypical freaky nerds. I would describe myself as a good-looking (if u really wanna see my pic, email me at medvedbr@hotmail.com), not fat, not too skinny, 6'5" Russian guy. My English is not bad at all -- vocab sucks, everything else is in order (34 ACT English, 34 ACT Reading). I've won some English awards, too.

I would HATE to have a smart gf. The reason is that I don't want a girl to dominate me. This may sound mean, but competitiveness is in my nature, and there's nothing I can do about it. I cannot allow a girl that is close to me to be better than me at math, for example. I can deal with those who are smart at social studies, though, as long as they are somewhat good at math, cuz I had social studies (lack of common interest, basically). My dream girl MUST be smarter than average; I want to be able to have intelligent conversations and I don't want to be her teacher, but I don't wanna have a valedictorian gf either. The looks are my #1 priority when I evaluate girls, but I must admit that even the hottest babe means nothing to me if she has bad habits such as smoking or drinking. So, I guess the latter might be my #1 priority, after all. A bit of drinking on special occassions is OK with me. Smoking -- no. I cannot even stand 2nd-hand smoke. Tried it myself, no way am I gonna get into smoking. Drugs.. I am not even going there.

I am looking for girls who are very well-mannered, behave themselves properly, are somewhat intelligent, value my personality and intelligence, are good-looking... High weight is a huge turn-off for me. I love girls who are skinny.. slender is OK, but skinny is what totally turns me on. I am tall and want the dream girl to be tall, but no taller than 6'1" or 6'2". I think 5'8" - 6'0" is perfect. Long hair is usually a plus. I am not going into more details.
Must have a sense of humor and be fine with my occassional craziness. Sometimes I get so hyper that ppl dont believe it's me. I am not one of those shy little quiet smart boys. I am ranked 3 in class, so there are 2 guys above me. However, I am still often considered smarter than them because of my test scores and such. I am simply not an overachiever 100% straight-A nerd. I have 5 B's on my transcript, which I actually think is not a bad thing -- I am human.

But.. I am shy when it comes to girls I like. Entering quarky's brain:

1) If the girl I like (it's usually her appearance that gets me) is unknown to me, so all I know is that she is hot, then I am really shy - -I cannot really start a conversation or anything, esp. if the girl is not in one of my classes. If she is, then I can pretend to be talking about school or whatever. If she is totally random, chances are I will never talk to her. But if i do see the girl often, I still cannot find a good way to talk. Like this one time, I tried to help a girl with chemistry and i just looked like an idiot, was embarrassed as hell, started blushing and never looked at her and imagined anything positive coming out of it. Lack of confidence, I must admit.
2) If the girl I like is someone who is like my friend or something, like I know her well and we hang out, etc. .. I can easily talk and everything around her, I am not shy and stuff, but I don't know how to go further. What would my next step be?

So, in conclusion, I am reserved and shy around girls I like. Very rarely do I like a female friend more than a friend, so scenario 2) is unlikely. In most cases, there will be girls I know about and stuff, but i never talk to them

Once I got chubby, I went to the gym for three hours a day seven days a week until I had a six pack....it was nice. Now i am about avg, 5 10 and 155. I want a girl that is thin, but not skinny.

I'm a guy so I'll give my perspective.

First off, I used to be really shy and had fairly low self-esteem. In the past 6 months or so I've started turning my life around. Girls are a lot more attracted to me, and I'm a lot more popular at school. I'm no longer shy, and I'm becoming one of those guys that "everyone wants to be around".

As a guy there are a few things to work on...you need to be confident and be fun to be around. Ask yourself who you like to hang out with other than your close friends. Most likely those people are outgoing and *exciting/fun*. Working out helps too but it's not necessary, girls don't care about looks quite as much guys but anyone that says they wouldn't rather have an in-shape guy is a liar.
Guys, if you really want to improve yourself, this site can help you:
http://sucs.org/~nicholas/djb/index.php


As for what I look for in girls:

Attractive- For me, I like a proportionate girl that is not overweight. Also needs to have a decent looking face.

Intelligent- My standard is generally that the girl has college-level intelligence and isn't ditzy. If they're stupid or ditzy, I get annoyed quickly.

Personality- Biggest thing is that they have a compatible personality with me and likes some of the same things. Smoking, drugs, and excessive drinking are turn-offs. Boosting my ego through laughing at my jokes and complimenting me is also a big plus.

The above standards are for a relationship, for a short term fling I only stick to the attractiveness standards. If I'm never going to see them again I could care less about personality and intelligence.


And quarky...I'm not gay, but I'd say that you're an above-average looking guy. Most likely you're just moving too quick or come across as nerdy or something.

You don't have to tell be, SUNSHINE. I already know what you look for in a guy. Since you will go into a biochemistry-related field, you want to dissect a guy, extract some chemicals and figure out which of the three types of organic compounds the chemicals are comprised of: alkenes, alkanes, or alkynes.

Is my prediction correct?

Yeah, i can do that, my toes are pretty damn long.

Question #2: what is the size of the latest shoes I bought? The reason I am asking about the latest ones is I buy shoes of size X or X-1, depending on how the fit me. SOme are X, others are X-1. Thus, the latest pair was either X or X-1.

"I would HATE to have a smart gf. The reason is that I don't want a girl to dominate me. This may sound mean, but competitiveness is in my nature, and there's nothing I can do about it. I cannot allow a girl that is close to me to be better than me at math, for example. I can deal with those who are smart at social studies, though, as long as they are somewhat good at math, cuz I had social studies (lack of common interest, basically). My dream girl MUST be smarter than average; I want to be able to have intelligent conversations and I don't want to be her teacher, but I don't wanna have a valedictorian gf either. The looks are my #1 priority when I evaluate girls"

Gee Quarky, I am afraid you have some sexist views. My daughter is very smart and she has an 800 in SAT I math and Math IIC in SAT II. She is also beautiful and warm. I hope most young men in Stanford will not hold her intelligence and mathematical capabilities against her. If you marry a smart wife good in numbers in future, there will be a lot of financial benefits and she may even take care of balancing the checkbook, doing the household budget and filing the taxes. So, keep an open mind when you go to college. If not, don't complain that you cannot find a gf.

By Tank24 (Tank24) on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 01:48 pm: Edit

Don't get me wrong when I saw this..I'm not trying to be a jerk, but Quarky, it sounds like the problem with you is your "perfect" girl doesn't exist. This girl that's smart, but not too smart...tall, but not too tall...you want the hottest, skinniest, funniest girls but you are missing one thing. If these girls are perfect, why should they go out with you? Not that you aren't good-looking or smart or whatever, because you are. What I'm saying is, if you have these ridiculously high standards, why shouldn't she? Why would it surprise you that she decides to date the guy with the 1600 SAT, who is the valedictorian, most popular, good-looking guy at school, Quarterback of the football team, independently wealthy and going to Harvard to become a doctor or a lawyer or whatever. Just look around at girls who aren't "perfect" and you'll probably find a bunch of girls who are dying to date you...or at least willing.

By Quarky (Quarky) on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 02:02 pm: Edit

Hehe

Medprof:
I am afraid you do not understand. No, I don't have sexist views. Let me try to explain this better. From my own experience, I have learned that I am incompatible with girls who are smarter than me and try to show off their intelligence. I know I wouldn't mind a reserved gf, but I just cannot deal with a girl who just keeps telling me that she is smarter. Of course, that girl didn't tell me "I am smarter than you," but she acted in a way that was meant to show me she was better than me. I do not brag about my intelligence.

Tank:
LOL, I never said I wanted a perfect girl. I hate perfection, to tell the truth. I was actually going to write a paragraph on that earlier, but decided not to waste time. well, I guess I have to waste some time now
There are some people who appear to be perfect. I usually do not deal with them because there's always something wrong with such nearly perfect people. I have learned this from personal experience, too. Every single person who appears to be perfect is discovered to have some major flaws in the end.

I never go for that perfect girl I described. All I wanted to say was what things I look at and how I like them. I would never want to date that "perfect" girl I described. There always have to be some variations. I've tried above-average girls -- funny, not stupid, not smart, good-looking, average height. It just doesn't work. And I don't want the hottest girls either. I actually used to have several "hot" girls hit on me.. one of em even asked me out, but they were the slutty kind and I don't even know what the hell they wanted from me - -they didnt even know me, I didn't know them.

Oh, and I am not big on those "popular" girls in school.

Ok. Apparently they thought on this bus(we live too far away from school and take a bus) a couple days ago when I had a tennis tournament. SO this time (it was a nerd/punk trying to be tough against a thug loser) they were arguing about who won. The small guy said if you are gonna say you kicked my ass, why don't you do it (this was all on a little bus while moving) THe big guy jumped and they started punching and choking. We all watched. Then they were arguing again with bruises and stuff and the little guy attacked. They fought for like five minutes, falling on me, until some janitors broke it up. I was considering breaking it up myself but I didn't see any good possible outcome (the strategist in me). If I broke it up, there would be tension the whole trip. If I got hit while breaking it up, I would get in the fight and mess up my whole application. So i let the two retards battle it out. btw, you have to be a master of understanding the jock mind when you choose to insult them. Like, it depends what you say, and who is around.I don't insult anyone unless I know we won't fight, or I could take them. Ok, my fingers are cramping up now so I am gonna stop talking.


Remember, jocks are needed for the crappy jobs. (the pitcher on the varsity baseball team last year now pumps gas and is my school janitor...lmao)

btw

maybe you aren't getting any girls because of your #1 priority... i hate the smart guys who think they are too good for the smart girls... there are dumb girls, there are smart girls and then there are just guys they're all the same....look for a little more substance besides her height, weight, and hair will ya?

By Sunshine916 (Sunshine916) on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 05:00 pm: Edit

ohhh looks who's back? ME OF COURSE!!!

this message board grows by the minute. yeesh Quarky, at least you're popular with us freaks who hang out on CC 24/7. oh...and you were right. i like to dissect my guys and find whether they are made of alkanes, alkenes, or alkynes, especially since i flunked my test on them today! no worries, i only need a 20% to get an A!!! (for all of you who are out of school, you suck. i still have two more weeks, about 20 pages worth of papers to write before this friday...sucks for me)

to some extent i have to agree with the people who tell you to look for more in a girl than height, weight, and hair but then again, dont girls set some sort of appearance criteria for guys too? tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, 6-pack, etc. (just as an example...) i mean, its not like its a must-have but every girl has a type of guy that draws more attention to them than the avg guy.

guys who like competitive girls rock! nothing like a bit of friendly competition! i think like 8 of the top 10 at our school are girls, and all but 2 of us are definitely more l.arts/social studies oriented. i love beating my genius guy friends on calc tests and stuff. they hate me for it sometimes but its fun. i enjoy breaking the chemistry curves and such. i can wait til college im going to be surrounded by people 100000 times smarter than myself. people like you guys!!!!!!

By Medprof (Medprof) on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 05:03 pm: Edit

Actually, girls who are really smart know by this age not to "show off their intelligence". They cannot help annoying guys like Quarky because they are just doing what they are supposed to do as a student. The teachers like my daughter because she never tries to show off in class like some smart guys would. But she has a right to be "competitive" in things like the Mathlete competition or AIME Math exam. If you watch the chess game in the movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" you will get the idea that smart women can be very desirable too.

You really have to treat the other person like you would want to be treated yourself. There's an old Chinese saying "Whatever you do not desire, do not give unto others". You would not want girls to assume you are boring and ignore you just because you have brains. So if you think physical appearance is the most important personal trait in a female, good luck with your life. The reason to have a gf is not to have a trophy, but to have someone to hopefully share your good and bad times.

OMG, you people are so totally lost, it's unreal. I almost wish I could delete this post now, because a couple of you are taking onto a totally irrelevant/incorrect tangent.

SUnshine: I compeltely agree, there's nothing better than a friendly competition. The girl I was talking about was not friendly about it, though. I mean, she totally showed off and made fun of my failures, while emphasizing hers. Even when I was going through hard times, she just kept on bragging about her success. "Girls who are really smart SHOULD know by this age" that it is not a good thing to depress a friend even more,when he is going through hard times in his life.

Medprof:
You're just totally wrong. I understand where you may be getting your inferences from, but to get the real picture, you would have to be ME, which will never happen. Thus, you can only be guessing, which doesn't guarantee accuracy. This is the case! That same girl... do teachers like her? Hmm.. well, some do, but do you think a teacher enjoys it when his own student keeps arguing? It has happened several times, when she just kept on arguing with the teacher, until he just got mad. I wouldn't call this a FRIENDLY competition. I, on the other hand, am happy to take part in friendly competitions. Like last year, i had a competition with my good friend, who was a senior back then. He is very smart, especially at math. Our math skills are nearly equal (we cannot tell who is better), so competing was fun. We finally ended up in a class together (Calc), so we declared a friendly competition. The purpose was not to see who wins, but to push each other higher than the minimum requirements. If there was no competition, we would have simply slacked off and gotten easy A's. This competition forced me to get 101.4 and 100.2 percent for the two semesters of Calculus. The funny thing is that at the end of the year, we faced a challenge -- something unexpected happened and we had not set a rule for that situation. So, we just chose to cancel the competition because the year was over and we never cared about who was gonna win. Well, it appears that our classmates did care -- while my friend and I laughed, the classmates were frustrated with the sudden end of the competition.

Of course, I look at the entire picture. Are u crazy? Who would focus solely on appearance? I said that if a girl's personality didn't matter to me, THEN appearance would be #1. But it is #2, since personality is very important. Would I date an alcoholic pothead britney spears or something? Hell no, and I dont find BS so attractive anyway.

Here's my opinion on the whole looks thing. I think we all have a ideal looking guy (girl if you're a guy) in our head, but that does not mean that's the only thing we look for. I mean I dated a really hot guy once, but he had the personality of a turtle. That was so not good. Obviously, when you ask someone you don't know well out, you have to be attracted to them physically. But to make things last, you have to think that person is attractive on the inside too. Corny post, but it's true.

I too, am in the ranks of all the guys who posted previously. But I blame it all on emotional problems caused by my parents. Makes it easier that way.
I think the single biggest turn-off that I have experienced (read: the reason i don't get dates) is the quiet demeanor, which i guess is read as being a negative or pessimistic perspective which is not attractive. No one knows how I am outside of class, and therefore doesn't really know what I'm like. So I'm trying to change that, but changes works as fast as Congress.

By Overrated (Overrated) on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 07:51 pm: Edit

All right girls, I'm going to level with you. I would like to begin by saying that this is not a blanket statement, and I am sure it does not apply to everyone. At my school though, it does seem that the top girls in my class are actually the most shallow. They all seem like girls who try to play it off like they are so good and sweet and innocent to teachers, but underneath most of them are cheaters, liars, and generally cutthroat, grade-grubbing backstabbers. My experience with that set is that they may have high grades, and some of them might look good, but they seem more insecure and there is a much higher incidence of emotional instability (a lot of bulemics etc.) I went on dates with a couple of these girls sophomore year, and had a terrible time with each. One was mad because I wouldn't tell her my test scores so I cut the night short, and another wouldn't stop talking about the other girls who compete with her for class rank. It just seems a little crazy. I am sure this is not the case with all high achieving girls, but this is my personal experience. If you find that you fit this profile, that may be your problem. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you other than maybe the other smart girls are screwing up your chances by behaving this way or the guys at your school are just timid and lame.

I find this description of smart girls/guys inconsistent with our schools. Here the bulimic anorexic headcases are the slutty super popular girls, who have no cares in the world, except for pleasing their Bfs. The smart girls in our school are pretty friendly. There is really no competition among us. We ACTUALLY HELP eachother out with HW and all. However, the smart girls do date less than everyone else. Personally, I don't have a boyfriend because I've had some bad experiences, not because I am too busy with hw. They weren't as sensitive and intelligent as guys on this board. LOL!!!! I don't get why all the guys here are single.

i agree with wawalu. at least most of the smart girls in my school arent shallow, insecure, and anorexic. only the ditzy-cheerleader no-brain types are. maybe i'm a bit biased because, yeah well im one of the "smart girls". but we DO actually HELP E/O on hw. we have this system where on nights when we have wayyyyy too much, each of us does 1/2 or 1/3 or whatever and we copy each others in school. there is no cut-throat competition and we dont talk behind e/o's backs. well...except the girl who's first in our class. our whole grade of 540 is against her but thats because she is a freaking arrogant no-personality "genius" who needs to dig her nose of out a book and smell the coffee...EVERYBODY hates her and therefore we like to talk behind her back. other than that i am BEST friends with #2, #6, and #8 in our class (im #3) and friends with #4, #9, and #10. we have 2 guys in the top 10(#5, #7)both of whom im friends with) and then #1 psycho-girl. so yeah we're definitely not that bad. we sort of form this close-knit inner circle of intellectuals who party hard but study hard. competition is natural, but we dont pit it against each other. we dont brag about grades to e/o and encourage everyone to do their best! and nobody gets jealous either.

i wish we had more of you smart guys at our school all the people at the top are girls. running out of people to date!!!! i think the 7 of us together have dated every guy in like the top 10% of our class.

however. i have to say that time is not on my side when it comes to dating. too much other crap going on in my life.

Elgreco,
You're such a sweetie. CC should become a dating/friendship site for us smart, wonderful people. Hehe!!! Hopefully many of us will end up going to the same school, which I am sure is going to happen, cuz how many ivies are there. Well, one more year to go for me, before I get to leave my crappy town and meet some of you gals and guys.
Sunshine: I used to be a cheerleader!!!!!! I still eat though. I gotta agree with ya, many of the girls on the squad were bulemic bimbos, thought. That's why i quit.

Hmm, my school must be a total anomaly then. A lot of the slutty ultra-popular girls are messed up in the head at my school too, so I guess there are probably about 7 normal girls in my class of 809. Anyways, I feel like there are no girls left to date and nowhere left to fit at my school except with my close group of friends and my hockey people. I think it's strange that in a class of 809 individual people I find so many duplicates. I know this is a digression from the subject, but has anyone here ever read a book called The Stranger? It's by a French author named Albert Camus. A lot of the time I philosophically identify with the main character in that book. A lot of the time it seems like people just meaninglessly and randomly collide with one another til we die, and it never really matters. Wow, that is quite the random post huh?

Yeah, I read The Stranger not long ago. My essay on the book was actually my teacher's favorite, out of all of my writing pieces. I also included that essay in my English Honors Portfolio, which was approved for Honors by both judges. One of them said that it was his/her favorite piece of writing, too.

Yes, but it is probably more than anyone here would want to hear (see). Many things I think about are out of this world and disagree w/ traditional views.

Quarky... excuse me, but it seems to me like you've already racked up a bad record with the inconsistency of your posts. First you make a joke out of your caltech rejection... then it comes true. Then you create this thread which completely contradicts your actions regarding your final exams. *referring to your most recent thread* This questioning of your validity is shared by many fellow posters, as I have observed. Best of luck.

aite guys listen. I'm a smart guy and I've noticed a lot of smart guys have problems getting the hot not-so-smart but popular chicks. They're like, pshh, hes a nerd, what a fag or •••• like that. Or they dont want to go out with you. I've been with these girls a lot and I'm a smart guy, the trick is, be very tough and dont talk about school and •••• a lot. Dont talk about computers even if you like them like i do, tlak about cars and •••• like that. When guys make fun of you or say ••••, dont take it, stand up and be like who the •••• you think your talking to, and finish the situation just be tough. And lastly, when your asking them out, dont be like "i dont know, maybe this weekend lets go see a movie" thats bad. Girls like guys with direction that can lead them that are set on like one thing. You gotta be like "hey, saturday night i'm going to a movie, wanna join?" or something like. It doesnt really matter what you say, just say it tough and dont use words like "i dunno" or "maybe" or "could we". Now this is if you want to go with the hot preppy girls or the hot cheerleaders and ••••... if your interested in the more smart girls then you gotta be yourself, show your smartness, compliment them be sweeter. but if your going for the hot popular girls be tough not so sweet (still be nice) and be strong. When other guys are around dont take any •••• from them. Talk about "cool things" like cars and all.


It really depends on what type of girl your going after. THe more hot and popular and preppy the more tough and aggresive you have to be and the more definitive about things and dont talk about school and dont talk with big words and •••• they'll call you a nerd and be like whatever. If you want a smart girl though that is not in the big popular group and is looking for a nice sweet guy, then be nice and sweet, compliement them, dont be so aggresive. Anyways, good luck man. College will be a lot easier to get nice smart girls, IMO high school is just for getting the really hot popular chicks to go with you (aka get some) haha..aite man..I'm out for now..good luck

By Alita (Alita) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:40 pm: Edit

after watching them, I have come to a conclusion. (Most) high school guys (at least the ones in my school) are jerks, or too busy pretending to be jerks to make a good boyfriend. Not to sound rude.......but it seems like whenever high school girls date, with a few exceptions, they end up with creeps. But, that could just be my school- I don't know you guys, so i cant really judge that. All I can say is, I can't wait for college, or anything besides highschool.

I have a question: do you people think sort of long distance relationships can last? i have been going out with my gf for about a year and a half now, but now she's moving away to a city that's about 15 to 20 minutes away. Do you think our relationship can survive? I hope so!!!

By Itgoeslikethis (Itgoeslikethis) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 08:02 pm: Edit

its weird at my school and people that i know who have graduated.....the people who date a lot in high school go through some kind of bad karmic transfer and those who enver really had a boyfriend or girlfriend suddenly find themselves getting their pick. its weird. so pray for the karmic transfer!

By Thedad (Thedad) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 08:09 pm: Edit

Alita's observation matches my parental observation, which I'd refine as follows: there's a narrow band of good possibilities for a girl...a lot of the guys who date are jerks and a lot of the nice guys are too shy or whatever and don't date...leaving a few who date but are nice human beings.

What really makes me sad is the girls who dumb themselves down to become appealing to the guys who are jerks. Those girls need to be fishing in a better part of the genetic pool but are too insecure with themselves, imo.

By Fiza (Fiza) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 08:37 pm: Edit

Haha...i used to go for dumb guys (like 2 years ago), but then slowly evolved to like smart guys- top of class, loved by everybody and all. The two 'loves' of my life have both been incredibly intellegent guys who also are pretty kewl.

I LOVE SMART GUYS...but you also gotta be kewl and funny and stuff.

By Smartncute03 (Smartncute03) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:23 pm: Edit

This is my first time posting. I think Dwix is so funny. Sometimes it's just hard to lose that smart guy/girl rep. I am a half decent looking, smart girl, and i am friends with a lot of hot guys. But very few of them ask me out cuz they think that i have different interests from them. They don't make fun of me for being smart, but they have this misconception that all i like to do is study.

Hey elgreco, most i guess guys just dont' go for the smart ones.

By Heartwork (Heartwork) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 11:05 pm: Edit

I am a smart guy, not number 1 in school or anything because I'm a slacker, but I'm pretty good looking and I like sports and stuff and a lot of hot girls talk to me, but I always get the distinct impression that I am the last person on the planet that they would want to go out with. I'm really not sure if it's because I come across as being too smart or if I'm actually intensely ugly and just haven't yet realized it. I used to be nice to girls and tried to flirt and the like, but lately I've gotten so disillusioned with the whole idea of girls ever liking me, that I hardly pay them any mind. I think maybe word has gotten out that I'm mean or something, which I suppose is okay because I'm fairly certain that I'm never going to have a chance with any of the girls that I like. I guess now though, I probably sound like a total little self-pitying loser faggot or something, and I'm sorry that I wasted everyones time who actually scrolls far enough down on the page to read this crap. If anyone would like, I should like to get some suggestions as to how I can portray myself as a suave, studly, dashing, and debonaire maverick of a fellow whom the ladies just swoon for, and if not, anyone who would like can insult me or throw garbage or feces at me as well!!

The thing is to not be a "nice" guy, but don't be a jerk either. By nice I mean don't be sissy/feminine. Be a good person, just stand up for yourself, be a leader.

Also...I'm sure you've all heard the song "Girls just wanna have fun". It's true...girls will want to go out with you if you're interesting and exciting. That means talking about and doing things that you both like, not talking about computers or video games etc.

I agree with Chim Chim. BTW smartandcute03 and fiza, you say your smart and hot? Throw me an IM sometime, annihilate6400 is my sn. Aite peace everyone, I'm out.

By Dxiw (Dxiw) on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 02:26 am: Edit

man, its all about making little moves and seeing the response. I just went out with 2 girls to a movie and I was being cool and relaxed talking about cool stuff and all. I slowly kept inching over and then she grabbed my hand and got closer (meaning she liked it) and i put my arm around her and she liked it. Later on when she drove me home, i gave her a small peck on the cheek and she liked it so she kissed me back and we started making out. and this is a first date with hot girls i've never met before (talked online for a while, but not in person, introduced to me by an old friend). Anyways, the moral of the story is you gotta be a leader and tough like Chim Chim says and always make the first move. Dont be too big, like dont jump on top of her, just give her a peck on the cheek and see how she reacts. If shes like what the hell and steps back then act like it was no big deal and be like sory sorry. if shes like ok but she doesnt kiss back or anything that mean wait a little bit. And lastly, if she kisses back that means she wants it now. End moral: you gotta make subtle first moves and watch reactions. Just be nice but not faggish nice like 1000 compliments an hour, thats just piussing them off . Remember, if your too sweet then your a great friend but you wont get ••••. If your too tough then your an ••••••• or something. The trick is be right and between and tailor to each individual girl. Everyone is different, I'm sure a million will love you man. Anyways, peace out dude.

By Dxiw (Dxiw) on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 02:30 am: Edit

update to the last post: she just called me and asked me out. See man, its all a matter of being manly and aggresive and if she likes you you'll know it. If not you'll also know it, remember, never push for something unattainable cause you'll always be disappointed.

By Heartwork (Heartwork) on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:09 pm: Edit

I think Chim Chim hit the nail on the head with his/her eloquent segue to that gayass song. I think I must not be interesting or fun or something. I don't like computers or video games or anything like that, but I also don't like "exciting" activities like drinking, smoking, and/or driving, going to parties, or hanging out in groups >4. Oh yeah, I'm rabidly antisocial! Now I realize why all these chicks must in fact want my demise as opposed to going on dates with me.YES!!
Chim Chim, an interesting site you posted there, but I also finally realize that I just really don't care at all whether any girls want to date me or have sex with me or anything like that. Now it's time for my weekly session of sitting in my car in the garage with the garage door down and my car running with a small tube coming from the tailpipe up and in through the half-open drivers side window (as i'm simultaneously crying and masturbating).

smartandcute03 - hahahaha looks like we should rename collegeconfidential to girlsadvice101 haha. no offense quarky. I figured it'd be cool to get to know some girl who has a brain haha so IM me sometime, maybe we could talk about "college" like you wanted originally =) can't hurt to make a new friend, no?

quarky - in addition to what i said initially just relax. sometimes girls can kill us guys internally, but it'll get better man i promise. just try different things, see what type of girls you like best and I'm sure you'll find a match. theres so many girls out there, i'm dead sure theres atleast a million that would like you. maybe start talking to our new member smartncute03 haha anyways, with all seriousness, just relax and itll be ok. if u want any help with a specific girl problem, IM me sometime.

Lateralus: Not like Star Wars?! The myth of our times? The story of our humanity? The Christian tale of our very Redemption? *has a heartattack*
:-)

Overrated: Complete ditto regarding The Stranger. Perhaps you're a closet existentialist; i certainly feel like one at times.

Unfortunately Mersault was overwhelmed by his own pessimism (stolen from Hemingway, too: "the second you're born you begin to die"), whereas we can just play Grand Theft Auto III to release the tension...


Quarky: Try not to judge/decide-whether-or-not-you-like people based on looks... you may be passing up the personality that brings out the best in you.

Take my boyfriend (well, fiance now, i suppose) and me(actually there's a picture of us on my profile after a play :-) Being quite the tomboy throughout high school, i never expected to fall thoroughly in love with a fellow Star Wars nut/Comic book buff/Literary genius over a weekend and a game of Trivial Pursuit. But it just happened. Bam. And now life will never be the same! And i'm a dork, completely. So i suppose the best advice i can give: just keep your mind open, and let life take you where it will.


The love of your life is never the one you suspect. c.f. Star Wars.

Now I really can't wait to meet people like you guys at college. I haven't had a boyfriend yet, and I'm one of the top in my class. I think it's basically what everyone else said about being really busy working hard and also not having much of a selection in such a small group of kids. I know I'd make time for a boyfriend if I had one by most of the guys are too arogant, and the good ones are already taken.

I just dont want to right now. ok whats BTW....im just not sure but neways..Not all men are full of themselves...i mean all men dont talk about themselves all day...but offcourse i want to know someone who has opinions and is a little full of himself because hello in order to conversate but basically im just trying to say theres no use lookin now...thats what i believe..

btw = by the way

Can you PLEASE stop staying conversate. It is like you are scraping a chalkboard with your nails. The word is CONVERSE. You made up your own word!!!! When you respondinize please try to avoidinate making up your own words. BTW, I don't know how to break this to you, but you have to date actual people to conversate with them. Blowup dolls don't count.

Sorry that is mean, but your grammar and way to loose for of colloquialism is pissing me off!

haha, me too. I don't think she realizes conversate isn't a word. She thought your last post was serious.

<Post deleted for language and attitude. A couple of other posts could have been nailed as well but this thread has been spiraling downward. The subject of this thread is real but peripheral to college admissions. If handled with maturity, it will stay. Otherwise, the thread will be deleted. Final note: beyond the usual suspect words, use of "gay" as a pejorative greatly increases the chances of a post being edited or deleted. It is easier to delete one poster than to edit several posts.

Needless to say, I don't even need to show her name- assuming you're still allowed to post -


Perhaps it is impossible for you to carry on a mature/intellectual conversation with anyone on this planet considering how you speak/type. LOL Hsimpson, honestly that made me laugh out loud.

What the hell is a pejorative?

By Hsimpson2k4 (Hsimpson2k4) on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 06:42 pm: Edit

lol, this is a funny thread now

pejorative: having negative connotations; especially : tending to disparage or belittle

Everyone who didn't know this, don't feel bad. I myself thought it was a typo before I decided to look it up. Great word Obiwan!!!!!

I know I'm bringing up a dormant thread, but this is a very intriguing conversation nevertheless. Has Quarky found his girlfriend yet?

who cares?

Soulofheaven: yay! thanks
No, I haven't. Still looking. This is really new to me, cuz I've met more girls that I ever wanted to, so my options are wide open. I just don't know who I should go for. Maybe I won't go for anyone this year, who knows. I'll just get to keep all of them at the same time :P

Hypsin (damn those hyperbolic sine -- hypsin -- trig identities): I do
