<p>I think that certain asian girls are absolutley beautiful, although, at least in my narrow experience, sometimes asian girls are reluctant to go out with boys of other races. Which leads me to a different question: how do the races seem to get along at MIT?</p>
<p>You ask us not to judge you when you ask us to judge others based on some presumed algorithm that matches your sexual preferences?</p>
<p>It's really personal preference, I've never been taught not to go out with boys of another race (though my parents would probably prefer it), so it doesn't stand in the way for me. I do know other asian girls who erally can't see themselves marrying anyone who is not asian, so really, it varies more than anything. I can't see any college with fairly intelligent people having problems interacting well inter-racially......</p>
<p>When I visited MIT last Thanksgiving, i kept a bit of an eye out for the female population. As far as attracitveness goes, I was not very impressed, but then again, I saw a very small portion of the student body in my one day on campus. Also, I think everyone's points on the surrounding colleges are great, and the only challenge that still exists is to find a way of connecting with them. And the reason i find attractiveness somewhat more important is not just because it's easier on the eyes, but in my HS experience I've found there to be a positive correlation between attractiveness and outgoingness (dont think thats a word. I'll ask Noam). I have simply found that more attractive girls tend to more flirtatious, more outgoing, and more confident, all qualities I love in a girl, and attractiveness helps too. So when i think of attractive girls, i think more of the personal implications of being attractive through what i've seen. Also, some people seem to be saying that the more attractive guys will have an easier time with the MIT girls. I'm not so sure, because although my looks may have been able to net me a few girls in High School, I think college girls, especially the kind you'd find at MIT, are looking for a lot more than your average high school girl, which means you need a personality too, haha.</p>
<p>There are a lot of asians dating whites at MIT, especially asian girls and white guys.</p>
<p>Aren't MIT girls are like queens in the bee hives due to the low F:M ratio? ;)</p>
<p>F:m =~ 48/52</p>
<p>some MIT girls are hot. some are not.
some MIT guys are hot. some are not.</p>
<p>it's just like any other college in the country. i'm sure most people here will find someone at MIT attractive in terms of both personality and physical qualities if they take the time to look, so let's all cheer up and not get mad at each other anymore about this! =)</p>
<p>this is my absolute favorite thread on CC , it cracks me up!!</p>
<p>you're not the only one... stanford just started their own "how hot are the girls?" thread. us girls should strike back! =P</p>
<p>MIT has the most unpretentious students of the elite colleges, at least of the ones I've spent time at, in my opinion. Everyone respects merit instead of some petty high school "coolness".</p>
<p>In reference to a "queen bee" mentality, a lot of the most attractive girls get an older boyfriend and have five guys riding his coat-tails waiting for the break up so they can move in. Many guys feel that girls get "MIT head", which means the girls get to MIT and they aren't very attractive, but they are pretty attractive for MIT; so they get more arrogant than they should. I haven't really noticed this too much.</p>
<p>Although brain and beauty are unrelated qualities, they can affect each other. I've never been to MIT, but here's why I think there are fewer hot girls at MIT than at other places:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Girls who are born hot are less likely to be interested in studying, for they are distracted by boys.</p></li>
<li><p>Girls who want to be hot are also less likely to be interested in studying, for they spend a great deal of their time primping themselves.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Most of these girls don't care less about MIT. Even if they do, they most probably won't be able to get in. So, the result? Most girls that do get into at MIT aren't that physically attractive, but you can bet they are mentally hot.</p>
<p>geniez, the same applys to guys btw :)</p>
<p>EDIT: of course, except in my case. :D</p>
<p>For the most part everyone knows exactly how attractive he or she is. Enhancing it is something that geniez is right about - the people who are more interested in appearance will spend more time on appearances and the people who are more interested in studying will spend more time on studying. But, in my experience, good genes provide not only pleasing looks but high aptitude. For example, at my school the top ten percent is full of attractive people. And the bottom 90 percent is about half filled with butt-ugly people. I can't think of one person in the top ten percent (about 30 people), who is extremely fat or extremely ugly. So, even though I haven't been there, I'm sure MIT gets some attractive people. Maybe not beauty queens and Abercrombie models, but people with equal and high amounts of physical and mental appeal.</p>
<p>Hikkifan, when I was attending my local high school I noticed that extremely attractive people generally do well academically, but only to a certain extent. Generally they are not the brilliant ones, but they are in honors classes and do moderately well on the SATs (1200ish) and in classes (B-A range).</p>
<p>When I transfered to a highly selective high school this year, I noticed that the top 5% (Who have 1500+ SATs and numerous academic accomplishments) are generally people who are simply average looking to plain ugly, with few exceptions.</p>
<p>I think it's a valid concern (well, not so much concern as curiosity) and it deserves a thread. As long as everyone agrees that looks are by far not everything, people are beautiful inside, and girls (and boys) are NOT sexual objects, then it's fun and teen-ager-ish to indulge in some discussion on "OMG boys OMG chicks". And we're all horny teenagers! So why not?</p>
<p>I think beauty and brains go to-gether, usually. And for me, "attractive" means the whole package--intelligence, wit, happiness, sweetness, physicality, quirky draw points. So by that definition, probably 99.9% of MIT is sufficeintly attractive! Personally I can't wait to find a great shy, nerdy boy. Bwahaha.</p>
<p>I think the reason why really smart people seem less attractive is that many of them don't care as much about their looks. People can look really different if they change their hair or do make up.</p>
<p>why does everyone care so much
talk about this after u got admitted at least</p>
<p>emmittworshipper: A claim is only a claim unless it is backed by evidence. So why don't you post a pic to show us that you really are an exception? Hahah. ;)</p>
