<p>I think that many intelligent people tend not to look very good because they make a choice not to take care of themselves. I knew a lot of girls that were pretty rough looking day to day because they wouldn’t do anything for their appearance. I know I’m not exactly the best looking guy around, but at least I wash my hair, keep my nails trimmed, brush my teeth, and practice other forms of basic hygiene. You’ll find this lacking in a lot of collegiate nerds, both male and female. I think the reason why girls get a bad reputation for it is because there’s so few in the first place, so each impression sticks out a lot more than the sea of mediocre guys.</p>
