Why do chicks in college go for Guy B over Guy A?

<p>I think girls’ taste change as they mature and get older. Their preference (hopefully) will eventually change from B to A. One of my good friends, who is now a 20 year old Ibanker who is dating a guy who works for google, told me that she used to go for the rebel types until she matured and now goes for guys who have their **** together.</p>

<p>OP is assuming that college girls should be noble, wise, and completely logical in their decision making capacities. Young girls are people too, and they make bad decisions like people do.</p>

<p>Well I’d go for guy A anytime! I’m just so shy when it comes to approaching those situations. It’s just that guys are the same and I get nowhere! :confused: yeah I just did a mini rant here. =)</p>

<p>You’re looking at the wrong channels.</p>

<p>The reason why guy A is not attractive has nothing to do with his grades, or future law school, or the fact he doesnt smoke, or his internship lined up, that sfuff is IRRELEVANT.</p>

<p>Guy B is not attractive because he drinks a lot, or smokes a lot, or gets bad grades; these things are irrelevant and could actually be seen as unattractive by many.</p>

<p>The reason why guy B is more attractive is because he
is MORE MASCULINE and MORE FUN than guy A.</p>

<p>It has nothing to do with the other things and you could even switch them around and give guy B good grades and give guy A bad grades, it wouldnt change anything.</p>

<p>and the list you made a really extreme stereotype btw</p>

<p>Guy B is better looking?</p>

<p>^No.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>^he means Guy B is more of a “guy.” Guy A sounds weak, someone who doesn’t hang around girls and isn’t smooth at all.</p>

<p>I would rather have Guy A by far. But my ideal mix would be about 90% A and 10% B. You gotta have a little fun sometimes (which doesn’t necessarily mean drinking and drugs, it means taking a breather once in a while).</p>

<p>Because guy A is a panty-waist ‘nice guy’ who *****es on internet forums about why chicks don’t fall over themselves for his awesome self. If you’re boring, ti doesn’t matter if you have a 4.0 or a 0.0; no one will want to talk to you. If you’re incapable of having or initiating anything fun you’re not going to be popular. If you’re too shy to approach girls or do so in a half-assed, self-deprecating manner then you will come off as a wimp. Which is what the issue sounds like it is.</p>

<p>Either that or guy A proves that love isn’t blind and only hits on sluts? That may be your problem.</p>

<p>"^he means Guy B is more of a “guy.” Guy A sounds weak, someone who doesn’t hang around girls and isn’t smooth at all. "</p>

<p>Suits me fine!</p>

<p>I’m a typical Guy A here. Attributes are all the same, and I will admit that what some others in his thread have said about that guy is true for me.
I don’t do so well around girls. I don’t really know how to flirt. I’ve never had a relationship. I’m a running back on a D-1 Ivy league football team, and it doesn’t help one bit because I tend to lack confidence and tactfulness in social situations, especially the ones involving girls. I just fail at women-period.</p>

<p>Why? Because girls care about personality. It is, like another guy said above me, 85% personality for them. At our age this is especially true. I might play ball, but my hobbies include writing and studying extensively. When I’m not lifting, I’m probably studying either for class or just for fun. This is boring to girls-yeah, I’ll probably make a better provider than some of my peers, but chicks don’t care about this while they’re young. Don’t listen to these girls in this thread saying “oh I’d choose guy A!” In reality, fewer than 5-10% of college aged chicks probably would, and that’s being generous. </p>

<p>You have two options. First, you can change, and try to gain more confidence, smoothness and savvy around girls and other people in social situations. If you’re anything like me, you’ll need to really work at this, but it probably can be done.</p>

<p>The other option is to simply be yourself. Accept who you are, accept that these girls don’t like it, be confident that they’ll regret it later, and just move on. You’ll still feel bad at times while you are young and out of the dating scene, but you can always hold onto the fact that the things that make you unattractive now(your grades, studying, etc, etc) will make you extremely attractive later. The others will have their fun now, but chances are that 10 years down the road, you’ll be more successful than they are and the tables will be more in your favor. You just gotta hold on.</p>

<p>I chose the latter option personally after failing at the first, but what you do is up to you.</p>

<p>agreed with jlaw, the worst is when guy A tries to be guy B, no one likes that guy.</p>

<p>The saddest thing is that this discussion takes place all the time on this forum. I’ve really had enough of it… it makes the male population of this site look particularly lame.</p>

<p>It’s cliche, but just be yourself. Seriously. “Being yourself” doesn’t mean don’t improve yourself, but it does mean don’t do stupid things that are out of character, for example, trying to be who you think Guy B is.</p>

<p>I would like to clear something up - Guy A is not me. I copied/pasted this post from another forum. LOL.</p>

<p>im sorry but i think i laughed when i saw the guy A is “on the president’s list”</p>

<p>come on, getting a girl friend is not getting a job.</p>

<p>And is it guy A or guy B who refers to female students as “chicks”?</p>

<p>let me tell u all about my pet theory about this . . .</p>

<p>u see, chicks like a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s, so u gotta b one to get a gril.</p>

<p>Girls will go for guy B and women go for guy A.
Guy A maybe needs to act a little cocky and stop being so humble though.</p>

<p>Girl B types go for Guy B.
Girl A types go for Guy A.</p>

<p>It just seems like Guy B gets more girls because they cycle through more girls in a given period of time. It’s what they do in their time and is one of their priorities.</p>

<p>Guy A has one girlfriends for his entire college career and doesn’t brag or show off. To outsiders Guy B seems to be “getting it” more than Guy A. But it’s just the same Girl Bs cycling around those Guy Bs. Also, it may take longer for the A relationship to develop because both would want to be sure and maybe shy etc.</p>

<p>In terms of hooking up and partying, Guy B is probably better off.
But if hooking up and partying is what Guy A wants, he’s probably a repressed little kid.</p>

<p>I personally hope Guy A is looking for more and is holding back for one he really wants to commit to.
As a Girl A type, I’m not going to date any random guy who asks. I’m looking for somebody special and meets my standards.</p>

<p>Everyone turned this into a dichotomy.</p>

<p>When really, Guy A and Guy B - if described accurately - would both not get any girls. Guy B sounds like sort of a loser. Guy A sounds like he never makes a move and is bad at reading people. From Guy A to Guy Z, I believe only the put-together and socially adept Guys L through P would do well with the ladies on a regular basis.</p>

<p>Anyhow, if this was spawned through any real life situation, then Guy B is not really Guy B. He is really Guy N — he has many attractive qualities, understands male-female dynamics, and has the balls to make a move. However, after he has won a female’s attention, he may make fun of her, boss her around, or tell fart jokes after she has fallen for him. He might be an utter slob. Guy N can get away with this because she likes him. </p>

<p>Meanwhile, Guy A sees a small subsection of Guy N’s behavior in public, and assumes girls become attracted to guys who make fart jokes. He then posts his epiphany and subsequent lamentations on an online message board. He thinks Guy N is Guy B - a meritless loser with a host of undesirable qualities. Nope, it’s Guy N. But you can still hate on the guy for being an a-hole.</p>

<p>haha first of all, not all girls like the same guy. A quiet bookworm girl might fall for A while a giggly sorostitute falls for B. But most guys don’t fall into these categories…B sounds like kind of a loser, Guy A sounds like he’s putting together a resume. </p>

<p>if you’re decent looking and have some semblance of a personality, it shouldn’t be too hard to get girls in college. We’re literally surrounded by thousands of people aged 18-22 most of the year - basically the ideal hookup situation (or relationship, if you want that). You don’t need to be super funny or charismatic (but it helps) because there’s thousands of girls around you looking for guys, and most of us aren’t funny or charismatic either. </p>

<p>the other thing is lots of guys want girls out of their range. if you’re a 3 constantly hitting on girls who are 9’s, you’re going to get shot down a lot more than if you’re hitting on average girls.</p>
