<p>American-Born Chinese. My assumption is that I’m not going to get *****ed out for racist acronyms over using it because I learned it from my Chinese and Singaporean friends.</p>
<p>^lol Singapore is cool (although I’m an Hindu and my grandparents are from India, my parents grew up in Malaysia before they moved here to America). I love Singapore Beehoon, they have it in Malaysia too (Btw Malaysia is right above Singapore just in case anyone doesn’t know) but the Singapore one tastes better obviously.</p>
<p>Hey thanks for advertising my country :P</p>
<p>Yep Singapore’s great, but I’m looking forward to entering Cal this fall. Also, I’ll be in a Unit 1 triple… Sexiling both your roommates at once is probably hard for anyone to do (unless the person in question has SERIOUS needs, or no heart :P)</p>
<p>Where I am, you can have a coed room in a coed dorm if you and your room mate request it. Although the dorms are on campus, they are run by a private company, so I supposed they’re a bit more relaxed about it - as long as they get their money.</p>
<p>I met the guy I’m sharing with in my coed dorm last year. We agreed to share a room this year to save money and because neither of us could find a friend of the same gender that we wanted to share with and didn’t want to be paired up with a stranger.</p>
<p>Shazz</p>
<p>@Eloriel: Wasn’t for me.</p>
<p>That said, all of my sexiling last year was done around the time of Spring Break, and both of them had people they were up for staying with anyway.</p>
<p>Is it true that ppl at cal are pretty ugly?</p>
<p>I have a question for guys: how much do looks really matter?</p>
<p>^I think the answer to your question depends on the guy. Just like the preferences for girls, the perferences for guys differ with the guy. Personally for me a girl’s wit and intellect matter WAYYYY more than anything else because, no offense to pin heads, but I don’t care how pretty you are, but if you use the word “like” 10000X per minute and can’t extrapolate and defend your personal views and beliefs with eloquence and logic and discuss them in depth, as well as have a witty and sarcastic sense of humor, then you’d probably bore me. Oh and I personally prefer more tomboyish girls than the fashion crazed, make up wearing streotype.</p>
<p>Talking to my ex (who is in a position to be picky about certain things) gives me the strong impression that Berkeley average is somewhat lower than Everywhere Else average, though I’ve heard a lot of people say the same about UCLA and UCSD as well. That’s girls looking at guys, and, again, she’s in a position to be picky about who she dates/etc. (…for the present, that’s pretty much only the etc.).</p>
<h2>Coming at it from the perspective of a guy looking at girls…meh. My view is somewhat biased with regards to what constitutes cute, but I’ve seen a fair number of girls who meet that description since I came here. Overall attractiveness for me is measured against a slightly different scale and has a very considerable mental component (…the physical is probably somewhat Freudian, at least with regards to general body structure).</h2>
<p>I don’t really see any reason to apologize for wanting someone specifically not overridingly materialistic and shallow.</p>
<p>…although, that said, I think it’s worth saying that girls aren’t the only ones who’ll revise certain requirements down to mere preferences if they take a liking to someone who doesn’t meet all of them. You can make probability judgments about who you will and will not be able to enjoy spending time around, but in the end, you don’t have a whole lot of control over your brain chemistry.</p>
<p>^what does that mean that she’s in a position to be picky? Is she like this perfect beautiful all around girl or something? Like what does that mean?</p>
<p>On and I agree with all that nosferratu said. If you end up really liking someone, you might end up forgiving and overlooking things about them that you might not like.</p>
<p>This thread is sort of depressing.</p>
<p>She’s not a “perfect beautiful all-around girl,” but she’s cute (physically and in conversation) and knows how to use it.</p>
<p>@KevRus - Why?</p>
<p>I dunno, I don’t wanna sound elitist or anything, but I feel like this thread sort of fuels the top-tier university student “super genius but with no social skills” stereotype. :P</p>
<p>^^ someone finally said it</p>
<p>^^When you think about it, what kind of ppl sign onto college confidential everyday? Extremely motivated students who’d rather talk about school all day…they probably don’t have very active social lives. I know I don’t (<em>tear</em>).</p>
<p>This isn’t a representative sample of Berkeley’s population.</p>
<p>^That is true, but kids who come on here and post randomly could also be the kids who got straight A’s and high test scores while procrastinating and doing others things like dating girls/having fun social lives or re-inventing the wheel and only study the day before the test because the American education system (including AP classes and tests) are actually quite easy. 4’s and 5s honestly aren’t that hard to get on AP tests. It’s overrated. At my school I did notice most of the straight A girls studying a lot, although there were some procrastinators as well, but most straight A males at my school were lazy slackers who did their required hmk to the bare mininum to get an A and studied for tests at the last minute or didn’t study at all since they knew the info and used the spare time doing cross-countrying, mountain biking, or some crazy physics experiment. I was the mountain biking type lol</p>
<p>^Sigh at my school it seems girls had better study habits than the guys. I’m sure in a real world population it would be equal, but if it isn’t equal, why does it seem girls are more responsible when it comes to study habits than guys?</p>
<p>Psh. 4s and 5s are <em>incredibly</em> hard to get on AP tests for the average student. It’s definitely not easy.</p>
<p>Also, I post here semi-regularly and I have an active social life…</p>
<p>LOL Diivio, what the hell are you on? please shut the **** up and get your head out of your ass.</p>
<p>^Sigh you’re right what I said was bigoted and wrong. I apologize. Please forgive me. I’m just saying that I don’t think test taking truly measures one’s intelligence. Getting 4’s and 5s and 2400s don’t make you Einstein, it’s having the intellectual curiosity and vigor that does. Honestly a “good student” is really just someone who works hard. So all I was saying is that I know kids who got 3’s on those and those kids are very very bright, and in my opinion smarter than some of the kids who got 4’s and 5s. But yeah what I said was mean, I apologize.</p>
<p>^I said what I said to say that not all kids who post here regularly don’t have social lives and it’s insulting to group everyone that way. And also people have different definitions of a “social life”. But once again I apologize if I offended anybody. I do regret what I said because it could have hurt people’s feelings. I’m really sorry and I honestly was being very selfish in making that remark. All I meant is AP tests really just test someone’s ability to learn information and apply it to a test and aren’t a true indicator of someone’s intelligence, it’s more of an indicator of their hard work.</p>
