<p>I have heard a lot of rumors that generally boys are a lot better looking than the girls at dartmouth, is this true or just bs? I was also wondering if dartmouth is a school where relationship can grow and survive or its all about random hookups and little flings? Are the frat boys like the ones you see in American pie or animal house? (I know these are a random quesitons, but everything else seems to have been covered) Thanks for any help!!!</p>
<p>i heard the girls are gettin better at dartmouth but when i visited they all looked pretty good.....not drop dead gorgeous girls but there were a lot of fairly good looking girls. from what ive heard its all about random hookups/flings and with the frat scene and stuff its like that</p>
<p>That site we’re not allowed to mention here says the boys are hotter. However, I’ve seen lots of very good looking girls and my DS is in a real relationship with a hottie! So maybe what kids here wrote last year about the Dartmouth beautification project was true–they claimed there was a mission to bring in good looking women! And the freshmen girls I’ve met are quite pretty.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, while I’m told the hook up culture is what it is at any college, there seem to be many in relationships.</p>
<p>Ironic: juxtaposing a generalization about looks with your desire for a “serious” relationship. If you cared about a person seriously, you would love their personality irregardless of their appearance (cyclopes and ogres aside) :P</p>
<p>IMO women at Dartmouth are very good looking. Of course this is from a parent for whom 19 year olds are looking better and better.
I would say they seem to be athletic/healthy attractive more than movie star attractive. Better than the Ivy League standard, in my politically incorrect opinion.</p>
<p>from the little i’ve seen on facebook (referring to the Dartmouth 2013 group), we’re a pretty attractive class - guys AND girls! :)</p>
<p>haha i agree with senate123</p>
<p>At least one “frat boy” that I know has been in a committed relationship for over a year- my son met his girlfriend a few weeks after arriving at Dartmouth and they are still going strong over a year later. As sophomores he joined a frat and she joined a sorority but it hasn’t seemed to affect their relationship.</p>
<p>These “looks” threads drive me crazy.</p>
<p>I would venture to guess that you will find the same range of raw physical material in both genders at D as you would elsewhere. You may find that the female students at D, like the intelligent female students found at other top schools, spend less of their time grooming themselves to look “attractive” by TV standards on a daily basis. I doubt you’ll find too many of the kind of girl who never emerges from her room without make-up, for example.</p>
<p>Anyway, scanning the green book for S’s class, it looks like there are plenty of attractive people of both genders there.</p>
<p>The question about the hook-up culture and so on is a better one, IMHO, because it does vary from school to school. I’d venture to guess that the D undergrad population is large enough to allow for all alternatives.</p>
<p>Well, at least one in the Class of 2012 was judged and my understanding from my son is that there isn’t a problem with the looks of the girls (I feel so shallow-lol): </p>

<p>I would say I know more good-looking girls than good-looking guys at Dartmouth, although according to that college site thing Dartmouth guys have a higher rating. But basically, expect to meet a lot of people with beauty, brains and the whole nine yards.</p>
<p>No, the frat boys are nothing like the guys from American Pie. The relationship culture does have casual hook-ups and friends with benefits but there ARE a considerably large amount of people in committed long-term relationships, as well as a lot of people who just enjoy being single.</p>
<p>Don’t expect to get blown away by the selection of girls here.</p>
<p>nice post.</p>
<p>i am sure that the selection that is there is totally enamored by you.</p>
<p>the girls are not up to my standard</p>
<p>^Quoth Brad Pitt.</p>

<p>Any person who says the girls aren’t good looking is saying it because none of the good-looking girls are willing to date them. What he means is that he wishes the girls who are actually interested in dating him were better looking.</p>
<p>When I walk on campus I see nothing but healthy attractive people; if the girls are not up to your standards, I would suggest you take 3 years off from looking, do some soul searching and grow up. Who are you trying to impress?</p>
<p>Um yeah…the guys who are saying that the girls aren’t good-looking here are obviously pathetically sad and miserable that they can’t get any of them.</p>
<p>They probably can’t get any because they are not meathead Theta Delts and Heorots who don’t have the benefit of Kappa/KDE wallpaper in their frat basements. Admittedly however, the girls at Dartmouth are actually plenty good looking. Here is how relationships work at Dartmouth:</p>
<p>Two drunk people meet in a frat basement. They hook up. They then start a game of blitz tag, making sure all their friends know about it because everyone at Dartmouth loves attention. They do this again the next weekend because its convenient, and continue on for a few weeks or months until they get bored. Throw in a bunch of drama that everyone else gets subjected to whether they want to or not. This is how a typical “relationship” works at Dartmouth. Once the interested parties have gotten bored, rinse, wash, and repeat.</p>
<p>Who you hook up with is a function of your social capital, which consists of the popularity/coolness of your frat (which goes a surprisingly long way to determine your happiness and success at Dartmouth; Dartmouth students tend to value people based on how useful they are to them, probably good preparation for entering the world of investment banking (or what’s left of it at this point)), your membership or lack thereof in the “acceptable” extracurricular activities (mostly consists of the sports teams, throw in a few others like student government and The D), and, admittedly to a lesser extent, your family’s wealth. Basically, you can have fun as a freshman but you essentially get one shot at joining the “right” organizations. But don’t worry, if you guess wrong, you can always spend the next three years *****ing on Bored@Baker.</p>
<p>Look, I understand these boards are about making schools seem appealing, but let’s not blow smoke up these prospies’ asses. If they wanted that, they could just stay home with a pack of cigarettes and a short length of hose (Simpsons reference, for those scoring at home). Dartmouth is a place where you can have a very fun time, and I think to a lesser or greater extent most people do, but your chances significantly improve if you are a jock and/or are in one of the good houses (for both males AND females). If you are not one of these things, you have little hope of mattering or having a decent amount of “social capital” and that in turn affects your relationship chances significantly.</p>
<p>where are people getting these stats that supposedly say the guys at dartmouth are better looking than the girls??? plzzz i really wanna know the website</p>
