<p>Can I get an amen? haha.</p>
<p>the girls at cornell are pretty bad for the most part</p>
<p>^see…that totally disproves the part at the end about how guys generally appreciate the girls. I’ve heard plenty of complaints about the girls here, so I don’t know how that columnist got the impression they didn’t have any.</p>
<p>yeah, i never really understood that. there are nerdy girls, but there’s also super JAPpy/preppy/pretty girls. maybe you’re looking in the wrong places, blackcheese. that’s not to say there aren’t smart and pretty girls, because there are, but it’s not like cornell is full of fuglies.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what do you all think of the girls/guys selection at Cornell? I saw similar threads on Columbia and I thought it was interesting.</p>
<p>well, based on enrollment numbers and ratios, there should be 6000+ individuals of each gender at Cornell. it’s nonsensical to expect any one person to be able to generalize.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore male at Cornell and here is my view of the girls:</p>
<p>The girl quality at Cornell is honestly pretty bad. Virtually every hot girl joins a sorority, so if you aren’t in a top frat, don’t expect to see them past first semester freshman year. The hottest sororities are DG, Theta, Alpha Phi, Kappa, SDT/Tridelt/Pi Phi (in that order, with the last three tied). And these days, there are even a number of bad looking girls in DG, and it seems as though each sorority’s pledge classes get weaker every year. Kappa, for example, has gone waaaayyyyy downhill the last few years. And then when you consider how small a percentage of the entire university the top three sororities are (since imo DG, Theta, and APhi are the only sororities where the average girl is very good looking), it’s pretty clear that there are an incredibly small number of hot girls at Cornell. </p>
<p>If you’re a guy, this really sucks unless you’re wealthy and preppy enough to get into Alpha Delt or Psi U. If you do make it into a top frat, you’re pretty well off, and the hot girls will flock to you. If you don’t, the girls are going to suck. And yes, I know looks aren’t everything, but I think 90% of guys (and 60% of guys at Cornell) would say that it’s the most important feature. Even if you look past appearance, the personality of most girls at Cornell is pretty poor. There are TONS of nerdy, jappy, and depressed girls here. </p>
<p>So yeah- the girls at Cornell are really bad. You really need to be in one of the top frats to get with them, and even the best sororities have a significant number of bad looking girls. So hopefully you wear boat shoes and sweaters everywhere and went to a New England prep school, because if you didn’t, cute girls at Cornell will be few and far between. </p>
<p>(Keep in mind that this is supposed to be relative to girls at other colleges.)</p>
<p>^ maybe you’re just bitter cause you didn’t get a bid from alpha delt or psi u :)</p>
<p>whatever. my boyfriend got a bid from alpha delt and he’s perfectly happy with me (and also decided not to pledge). there are tons of pretty girls here. i’d say that most, if not all, of my girl friends are really pretty and smart and nice, and we’re not in sororities. sooo maybe you’re looking in the wrong places. we/they exist</p>
<p>Since when does a girl being in a sorority require a guy to be in a fraternity to talk to her?</p>
<p>You forget that we also take classes at Cornell? If you see someone you think is cute or interesting, GO UP AND TALK TO THEM.</p>
<p>If you are looking for drunken frat party hookups, of course you will have to be in a top frat to get a “top girl”. Otherwise, grow a pair.</p>
<p>There are a few cute girls who aren’t in sororities. They’re definitely out there.</p>
<p>when i read this last night i thought the purpose of this thread was opposite of what its turned out to be.</p>
<p>i think that the brutal opinions before me are unfortunately pretty true. most cornell girls are pretty stuck up regardless of appearance. and most of them are kinda lacking in appearance, which makes them even less attractive as people.</p>
<p>Somni, when you say stuck up, do you mean not easy or don’t even talk to me you freak? Just curious 
I’m assuming this is coming from a guy, so I had to ask.</p>
<p>hahah did you guys see yahoo frontpage news today about one of Cornell’s sororities?
[Mean-girl</a> fashion and beauty rules at Cornell sorority: No ‘mustaches’ or ‘muffin tops’ - Fashion + Beauty on Shine](<a href=“http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/mean-girl-fashion-and-beauty-rules-at-cornell-sorority-no-mustaches-or-muffin-tops-636982/]Mean-girl”>http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/mean-girl-fashion-and-beauty-rules-at-cornell-sorority-no-mustaches-or-muffin-tops-636982/)</p>
<p>i meant arrogant not prude. just from talking to some, i could tell they were full of themselves. maybe i shouldnt let a few ruin my idea of all. sororities kinda ruin girls that way but whatever</p>
<p>I kind of have to agree that the girls here overrate themselves. I mean when I look for a girl I want a girl who passes the “kind of cute” test, and then I look at her personality (how fun is she, does she like to drink, does she laugh at my jokes, do we have similar interests). I am not looking for a babe. I am an extremely social guy and I have met a ton of girls and here is my general conclusion. There are lookers in and out of sororities. All girls think they are hotter than they actually are and therefore are more prone to act like **<strong><em>es. The author herself even talks about how she has been a total </em></strong> to a number of guys. Additionally, it seems like the nice girls do not want to have fun. They are stuck in their comfort zone and do not want to go out and try new things (like seeing “bound for glory”, trying out a new food at an ethnic restaurant or going to a sketchy shop in the commons). On the other hand, the fun girls are all quite *****y. I would really love a girl who is nice and fun, and there are very few of the both here. BUT, if you are a prefrosh girl keep in mind that you go up 2 points once you get on campus. IE, 4’s become 6’s, 7’s become 9’s, and 10’s become heidi klum.</p>
<p>
There are very few but they do exist. I’ve been in relationships with a couple.
No why would you tell them this? You’re only enabling this idea to continue.</p>
<p>In any case it’s gonna be a rude rude awakening for most Cornell girls when they graduate and go off to NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. with the mentality they have now – i.e. acting b****y like you’re a 10 when in reality you’re a 4 won’t fly in the real world.</p>
<p>Aw, tboone…
The girls are there. I know quite a few girls on my D’s floor who are exactly as you describe - fun and adventurous. And really nice looking to boot. Just go ask them. They’re already doing what you said you like - the funky shops, movies, etc.<br>
But I also observed a few of the “other” kind of young woman at Collegetown Bagels one morning. Lord, I myself would be intimidated talking to these young women.
But the other ones ARE there - just put yourself out there.</p>
<p>My son has applied to Cornell. This almost makes me hope he doesn’t get accepted. He is a product of the western U.S. - not at all preppy, very casual (t-shirts, jeans and sanuks), a total jock who happens to be smart. Will he fit in at Cornell?</p>
<p>anyone will fit in at cornell, seriously. Do not have any qualms about sending your son here. It is not all NY prep school girls by a long shot. I think one of the main problems is that a bunch of the girls here did not get much or any attention from guys in HS for various reasons (they studied a lot, they were the smart girl, they are a lot cuter at cornell then in their hometown) and then once they get here, they have two or three guys vying for their attention. It goes straight to their head. Now that guys like them, it means theyre hot *<strong><em>, or so they think and their personality goes down the *</em></strong>ter. </p>
<p>Note to girls here: just because a few guys like you does not mean you are hot **** by a long shot. Chill out.</p>
<p>and its not that it is intimidating talking to the “other” kind of women, its just not enjoyable. I can carry a conversation with anyone and make them laugh, the problem is if the only topics they laugh at are cosmo girl magazine, sorority gossip and Greys anatomy episodes I am just flat out not interested.</p>
