<p>In response to cameliasinensis, the way you described yourself reminds me of my girlfriend. It seems the two of you share some key qualities that people like me happen to find very attractive. So keep your chin up and don’t worry, there are guys out there that won’t take any of your qualities for granted and will really appreciate you for who you are. :-)</p>
<p>I have all honors & AP classes, very active coach and very active in youth sports, president of the debate club, and do my own sports. </p>
<p>Plus, I did a short stint in modeling before I realized how stupid it was. </p>
<p>Oh, and I have the best boyfriend ever of almost a year. </p>
<p>So yes, it is possible.</p>
<p>The_Nomad - Aw, thank you. I have a feeling college will be better, what with there being more than 20 guys in the entire potential dating pool and all. :D</p>
<p>Yessss. Whatever turns you on turns you on, and there’s inevitably going to be people who are attracted to “geeks.”</p>
<p>3.9, active in many clubs, 3 sport athlete, sort of nerdy but I’m also a jock. Most kids think it’s cool that I’m an athlete plus really smart, but they know I want to be an Air Force pilot so they understand why I work hard. I usually do other work, like calc and physics, in easy classes and they like to ask questions, and I try to do my best to explain, but they are totally lost lol; usually the convo just moves into “when do you get your private pilots license” hahaha.</p>
<p>My girlfriend is unbelievably beautiful, and also smart (ditzy though), we have been dating almost a year and a half now. BTW, romanigypsyeyes, my gf’s mom is from Plymouth, MI.</p>
<p>So yes there are smart kids out there that don’t carry on the nerd look…</p>
<p>gosh, why did we have to post on valentines day? Eugh…you happy relationship people.<br>
I’m not a nerd…but anyone I start to put some interest into starts dating some 115 IQ, younger girl who doesn’t care about academics. Maybe I’m too worried about my life, as are they, and they need a break from all of that. who knows.
going to an engineering school that is 80% male + me = happy</p>
<p>i’m smart and pretty…that’s the way to go…lol :)</p>
<p>most of the people at my school ARE intelligent and somewhat good looking.</p>
<p>No gloating. 
I’m… a [moderately</a> attractive girl with good hair and a rather unfortunate nose](<a href=“http://photos-055.facebook.com/ip008/profile2/285/84/n1092600055_25048.jpg"]moderately”>http://photos-055.facebook.com/ip008/profile2/285/84/n1092600055_25048.jpg). Ah, well.</p>

<p>What are you talking about, cameliasinensis? You’re gorgeous! =]</p>
<p>Thanks, even though I don’t agree with you. 
I have a younger sister who looks like a model (5’7, skinny as hell, hair to her waist, perfect skin, delicate features), so I guess I tend to be overly critical, since I’ve always been the “ugly” one. And I really do hate my nose!</p>
<p>The sad part is that she’s as self-conscious about her mind as I am about my looks. It’s like we’ve both bought into the stereotype that a girl can be either pretty or smart… I feel smart but not pretty, and she feels pretty but not smart (she is, though!). I’m still trying to find a way to help her with that.</p>
<p>I have a girlfriend and I like to think I’m smart (I’ve taken AP Chem, AP Physics, Bio research, 126.5 AMC, 6 AIME, placed at HMMT, Science Bowl, varsity XC and track) (dammit, now it sounds like I’m bragging…)</p>
<p>I might be taken when I go to Caltech and like 70% of the people there are guys. Aside from that, I’m pretty smart and have always been single.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t get it. What do you hate about your nose?</p>
<p>Um. It’s wide and short and the tip is kind of blunt. Basically, I really wish I had sharper, more refined features. :o</p>
<p>yes i think some guys are intimidated by smart girls…</p>
<p>I think i’m attractive. I’m no Adriana Lima, but I do think I am more attractive than the average person, and from first glance, you wouldn’t categorize me as being ranked #2/820ish in the school.</p>
<p>so last week, i went out clubbing with my girlfriends, and this guy came up to me and started dancing with me and whatnot. halfway into the night he was asking if I went to the local state University, and I said, “No, i’m going to Duke.” and he was like? “Whoa?” and then “what did you get on ur SATs?” and yeah, basically two minutes later, he disappeared somehow. </p>
<p>I had a boyfriend in eighth grade, but that turned out to be dumb. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with girls who are smart…or smart and attractive. But it’s just hard to find guys who are looking for girls who are, especially, smarter than they are.</p>
<p>Well, I consider myself to be smart (APs, H’s, always ranked 1-3 in my class, blahblahblahblahblah), and I’m in the same situation as cameliasinensis (never been kissed, never been on a date… etc.) Although it’s possible that my being “smart” has played a factor in this, I think it has more to do with the following:</p>
<p>1.) Although I’m outgoing and funny (…um, I hope I am at least =) ), I treat all guys like friends. My lack of success in the romance department means that I now have virtually no confidence in dealing with guys. I don’t like flirting. I just feel uncomfortable flirting, and (again like cameliasinensis) I can’t read guys at all.</p>
<p>2.) I’m almost completely flat. I’d like to put a little more faith in males in general, but I know that my nonexistant dating life is at least partially related to this.</p>
<p>…PS, that last bit was incredibly awkward… hmmm… =)</p>
<p>Join the club, Os. We’re not on CC because we’re hot…</p>
<p>hey, don’t worry, lesOs, I’m pretty darned sure that you’re the one they’ll fall for in college because guys will want the one they can hang out with and have serious conversations with…at least the smart ones will.</p>
<p>I’m putting off my worries about relationships, at least you haven’t been in them and screwed them all up already. I mean, I do think that guys tend to fall for the hot stupid ones, but I think that that is the HS thing…</p>
<p>Hey, now. I think I’m pretty HOTT. :D</p>
<p>LesOs, I’m flat enough that with a simple bind, I could be totally flat. A rack, I don’t got. However, in the other department, I’m fairly decent. But if that’s all they look for, then I don’t understand the attention I occasionally get.</p>
<p>I’ve been kissed. Or rather, sexually harrassed… :mad: EW.</p>
<p>I, too, tend to be on friendly terms with guys, and the world help me, I hope it stays that way, because I’m about as asexual as asexual can get, save for a few romantic streaks that manifest in stories (reading/hearing/watching or writing) only.</p>
<p>I used to flirt for fun, but I garnered a bit of unwanted attention that way…:o</p>
<p>So guys see me as one of the guys - even say so, when they address girls. The other day, I was playing an 2-player online game with this guy friend (read: owning him), and a female friend walks up and tries to get us to switch games; he responded by saying that girls don’t pick out good games, except for me. (And sure enough, that game really sucked…) Basically, they call me “cool”, instead of “hot”, and thank the heavens for it… I even have the demeanor of a guy, and tend to take their side, unless they’re being particularly sexist.</p>
<p>Strange thing is, I’m not outgoing, I’m more sarcastic and cynical than funny, I’m dry and analytical as opposed to emotional, and I’m definitely not looking for anyone. (Basically, I’m not much of a girl.) Must be a law of nature or something, that the more you look for it, the likely you’ll find it…</p>
<p>At least this year, I took care not to even give the opportunity to be propositioned…</p>
<p>But the most surefire way to go about it is still to make yourself blatantly available and to initiate the whole thing. They won’t approach you if you don’t let them know you are approachable.</p>
<p>Actually, one incredibly creepy guy once tried to kiss me… I was sitting on the floor studying when he sat down next to me… and put his arm around me to ‘read’ the book… and started putting his face right between MY face and the book… at which point I laughed and said, “Whoops, forgot to get my notes!” and BOOKED. IT. He also gives really awkward hugs. Eh. I’m getting creeped out just thinking about it.</p>
<p>I have two sides to me: an incredibly goofy, outgoing side, and a really cynical, sarcastic side. Neither are really attractive to guys, I suppose, because my goofy side involves a VERY strange sense of humor + high pitched laughter + really sexy cross-eyed faces… aaaaand my cynical side is… well, unavoidably cynical =)</p>
<p>At this point, I’m not too fixated on my unluckiness in love. I’m not interested in any of the people at my school, anyway, so I’m holding out for college. =)</p>
