Why do boys want good-looking girls?

Daria wasn't depressed, she just acted that way...

Well, Daria depressed me let's say.

Woah, I was just looking through an old Beavis and Butthead book of mine... 1993! I can't believe it's over ten years ago! o_O

Come on, appearance and intelligence aren't inversely related. Why can't we get the overachiever pretty valedictorian girls?

Mankind sucks. But in the cartoon Daria, Daria is the most awesome character. She is so hilarious. Quin rambles on about hearing something from somebody who heard it from.... etc. Then Daria goes:
'Who works in another hospital. In Belgium.' Daria is the most kickass character, and I wish there were more people like her.

I want daria like i f*****g want AIR. I could bite her.

I would go out with somebody who was similar to her because they would be quite similar to me.

Are you an overachieving, pretty valedictorian *boy*? If so, let's talk... ;P

He he he. People achieving happiness.

Overachieving, bah! I'm a lazy slacker.

Guilty...

I consider myself a very visual person, so when someone who is visually appealing to my eye, that sparks a desire in me to want to be around that person. However, it's not enough on its own. If that someone can't keep me stimulated socially or intellectually, its bye bye. Beauty will attract me, but it won't keep me.

But I know a few mates who simply don't know any better. They think sexually (given that they and I are late-teens), and honestly, who would you rather have sex with? A hot calendar model, or someone more 'average'? When it comes to trophies, the trophy has to look good.

I don't concern myself with issues like that. I enjoy the moment, because its all you have at any given time.

the same reason why women want confident, cocky ,outgoing jerky guys and why none of us ever get laid.

I guess the only reason why these guys want a hot girlfriend is because they want a good reputation. In middle and high school, that's the case. If an average guy shows up with this supermodel of a girl, then all the other guys will be like, "she's hot man!! ! i want one like that!" and then the guy with the hot girl will get really popular. He still may be miserable seeing if she's insecure with her minor flaws such as an odd-shaped nose or considering her slim frame obese. She will work to impress him and try to look as close to perfection as possible. I don't think this is good because it will block out a personality and she will become too vain. That's the problem with goregeous people a lot of the time...

As for me, I'm just looking for a really sweet guy. Sure, I do like really hot ones as well, but they turn out to be asses - very obnoxious, small-minded, obsessed with scoring and getting wasted. I just want a genuinely nice guy that can make me laugh, regardless of his appearance.

hey... i like sweet guys! believe me, girls do not want that, they just naturally assume the hot guys will be the nicest ones. If you get the nice shy ones to open up they turn out to be some of the greatest guys ever.

I bet if a girl gets to know you, she'll like you for who you are, much more than the guys you just described... good luck finding her

But the problem is that

a) despite the fact that many girls CLAIM that they want a guy who is sweet and caring, their actions would indicate otherwise. And why the hell would anyone assume that the good looking guys are going to be the nice ones. No, really. If you understand the chain of reasoning that would lead a girl to that conclusion, please share it with us. This is one of the great mysteries of the universe. My personal explanation is that for most people hormones speak louder than reason. And it is a documented fact in recent brain research that humans often decide things first at the emotional or insticntive level, and then quickly follow up by inventing something that sounds like logic to explan their behavior to themselves.

b) most girls (in my experience) won't stay interested long enough to find out who a guy really is, especially if he's not outgoing or assertive.

No offense intended to you personally, but girls are just as hormonally driven as guys, and trying to get through to an actual thinking creature behind the hormones can be a very frustrating undertaking.
