See the type of guys I knew who were closest to being UNIVERSALLY attractive were far from dorky, nerdy, and/or socially awkward. They were typically very extroverted, have the ability to run social situations, and are always joking around. Very fun people to be around. You can have fun in what's usually a boring situation by bullshitting around with them.

The dorky, nerdy, and/or socially awkward guys I knew were either attractive to the opposite gender as friends, or they got it on with their female counterparts.

What are you studying so hard for? Question

Sort of lost my place in this thread, but it's interesting seeing what you guys came up with for what you're attracted to. I don't know that it necessarily takes a "type" of girl to date a nerdy/socially awkward guy (though in my high school, most "nerds" were actually very cool and funny to be around, so *shrug*).

Agree with Lilith, it sounds more like a high school thing than anything. People stop looking like labels and start looking like unique individuals as you get away from high school. Nerd and social awkwardness aren't necessarily synonymous.

...Though, this is coming from someone who could be labeled as a nerd, but that's beside the point.

I don't have a problem with my friend when he flashes his money around, because he doesn't come off as annoying as others I have seen. He is more laid back and cool with the way he does it, and not all HA HA HA I have money and you don't.

... Oh. I take things a bit too literally at times, no fault of yours there.
I've got a cousin who's very flashy with his money, but it doesn't bother me either as he's not rubbing it in like he's a more accomplished person simply because he can buy something like, a flat screen tv that's so big it covers his wall, or something. Those types are the nasty ones.

You're right....more power to them. I don't see anything wrong with being ditzy as far as a flirting method goes, but the problem I have is when a person take it to a whole other level and it becomes your persona all day, everyday, eventually that once was a turn on soon becomes a turn off.

Yeah, can't stand being around people who morph themselves into that.

You really should post more often, Wags
Just for posting that picture of my wife (in another world, of course).......I LIKE YOU EVEN MORE NOW.

Haha, love Cate Blanchett <3 She always looks like a goddess. Have you seen her in the Robin Hood movie that recently came out? I liked seeing her with darker hair (she may have had darker or red ish hair in Benjamin Button or other movies, I don't remember). Good taste, good taste Very Happy

It's hard for someone to be attractive if they're too socially awkward, male or female. You know your shit.

Yeah, I can see that. Once I got into university that fine line between cool and not cool was definitely a lot fuzzier and I didn't get that feeling like certain men were "out of my league" anymore. It helps that we don't have frats here too, makes it harder to group people together and to place them apart in groups.

Was studying for final exams for the term. =P

Goddess that the perfect word to describe her. I haven't seen Robin Hood, yet. I have to drink something pretty strong in order to watch a Russell Crow movie. He is just one of those actor that I just can't get pass his Russell Crow-ness LOL. For anybody that doesn't think that Blanchett is beautiful, just watch Benjamin Button.

I agree with you about the HS school thing, it's just that I feel that people in our age group (20s) still act very much like High Schoolers. I use to to think that people would change after HS, but a lot of them don't, not in their 20s, anyway. College was like this for me, even my job is like this (drama, drama, drama), it's ridiculous. I think that the older we get (30+) the more we become ourselves.
