<p>Grades, test scores, and college-related trivialities tend to pervade the majority of the CC forums. But this forum, "High School Life," clearly meant to focus on the social and non-academic aspects of high school, seems to be unfortunately overridden with stressful students posting threads regarding grades, GPA worries, and, worst of all, allusions to chances threads.</p>
<p>I propose that this thread function as a shift in gears from academic venting, known to the vast majority of normal human beings as simply geek-talk (which really has no place in this forum), to a discussion of the concept of Hotness. </p>
<p>So here is the big question (and no, it has nothing to do with college admissions [though maybe it should]): What defines hotness TO YOU? Is it looks? Is it wits? What qualities in a person, male or female, make you wildly attracted to him/her? Share your thoughts, and God forbid that someone include high SAT scores and a high GPA in their definition.</p>
<p>no one whose screen name is entropy can be called uncool, much less "ugly." there's too much hate in our modern world...why can't we support each other?</p>
<p>Independence in a girl is seriously like...the hottest thing ever. Something about a girl knowing who she is and being confident just does it for me.</p>
<p>I don't think this is how I'd define "hot", but it's the qualities I find attractive in a guy I would like to date (I make this distinction because "hot" tends to be purely physical in nature, and finding someone "hot" does not mean that I find them attractive in other ways):</p>
<p>-Physically: nice eyes; good, firm hands; at least somewhat muscular.
-Non-physically: an artist of some sort (bonus points if he is a poet); traditionally romantic to some extent; good storyteller; confident.</p>
<p>Looks are one thing. But I seriously think you can take an average person and make them look hot. I'd say somewhat looks and personality. Confidence is good.</p>
<p>I honestly can't say. I've liked so many different kinds of guys.</p>
<p>Well, actually, all of them are in shape and lean, which is not the same thing as "skinny."</p>
<p>One of the guys that I've recently liked has black hair, and is really goofy. We get along well because it's just really easy to bounce jokes back and forth.</p>
<p>Another guy is really uncomplicated, and I don't mean that he's stupid... he just says what he means, and doesn't get caught up in all that jerky guy stuff. He's kind of shy, and when I talk to him, there's no pressure or anything. He's a just a truly nice person. He has brown hair.</p>
<p>The last guy is French. He's very "touchy" (of course, that's normal in France). He also is very inappropriate, and always teases me... Normally, I hate it when guys act like that, but I somehow like it when he does that. He's also very cultured... and he's blond.</p>
<p>So, I have no idea what attracts me to guys. Obviously, it's not hair color, though!</p>
<p>Physical - eyes, smile & hair. a good sense of physical hygiene is also key.
Non-Physical - wittiness/intelligence, sarcasm is sometimes a turn on when used sparingly, humor, sincerity, being assertive (not too much, but not too little, a nice balence), the ability to laugh at oneself, being a self-admitted nerd, someone who likes to ponder things deeply, or just make me laugh.</p>
<p>i don't exactly look for one specific type of guy with specific physical features. however, when it comes to things OTHER than looks, there is a specific type i prefer. i mean u know, confidence, good manner (not an arrogant jerk), sensitive, honest, nice, and uh...u HAVE to have a brain. blah blah blah.
i hang out w/ different kinds of guys. the nerds, the really nerdy nerds, the metal heads (well i don't mind considering my fave band is metallica), the "jocks"....good looks is important but not THAT important. it catches my attention first, but then if u find out later on that the guy can't even do the simplest geometry proofs, it's realy a turn off.</p>
<p>like yournamefirst said, my attention is caught if I find a guy attractive, but if I find out later he's a jerk or just really stupid, it's a turn off.</p>
<p>Physical appearance: taller than me, relatively muscular <em>but definitely not like those guys at the gym who go UGH!!! as they weightlift</em>, and a good skin tone <em>I don't like pastey white guys</em>.</p>
<p>Other stuff: I'm a big fan of music <em>I've done piano and choir for years</em>. I really like guys who can sing well. That makes me swoon :) <em>however, if they were to start singing to me, that's just cheesy. I don't like cheesy.</em> The guy also can't be completely closed-minded when it comes to music, because I like everything <em>I get bored if I listen to one genre too much</em>. Music-related things aside, I also like guys who are funny, active <em>don't just sit around all day</em>, a good balance of assertive and not, considerate, and respectful of others.</p>
