Who wouldn't be attracted to MIT guys? They're smart, many of them can fix stuff and be very handy
Haha! So true! My dad didn't graduate from MIT, but he can fix just about everything (TV ,refrigerator, computer, heck he made them from scratch before) I was always surprised when my friends had to pay professional people to fix stuff. I would definitely miss my dad when I need stuff fixed in college. XP

Um, how about MIT girls, who can fix things themselves anyway?

That is true too! I just fail at being strong enough to loosen some screws and lift up the fridge or something.
But I guess for the Non-MIT girls, it's handy to have MIT guys around?

Hey, I'm a scientist. I can't fix anything, unless it's a bacterium.

But I would submit that MIT girls are attractive for the same reasons I listed for MIT guys.

Only guys tend to be more shallow and looks-based, stereotypically. =P

I do get the impression that MIT guys are more attracted to non-MIT girls, which is something I neither like nor understand...

I know a lot of MIT guys who are with MIT girls. The only MIT guy I can think of who's in a relationship with a non-MIT girl is still with his high school sweetheart. (Well, also Timur.)

Do I have weird friends?

I'm really skeptical of the assertion that most MIT guys like to date off campus. Seems like totally unnecessary hassle to me.

Adding on to what pebbles said, it seems to be also that the off-campus guys (i.e. fraternities, ILG's) tend to date off-campus more as well.
