Why do boys always go for the pretty girls? They have to have the blonde hair and blue eyes! But what about the girls with dark hair and green eyes? Aren't they pretty too? Boys always go for the pretty girls, they want to look popular with those girls and be considered cool cause they go out with the "cute" girls! What's so cute about a ton of blonde cheerleaders thinking they're better then everyone else? In all the movies the blonde cheerleader has the guy at the beginning but then, in the end, the brunette get's him. Why can't it be like that in reality? Boys are so confusing. One moment they are together with the geeky girl, the next moment they are dancing at prom with a cheerleader. Why can't the girls that make sense and are beautiful in there own way be loved. Why are boys so cute, yet so hard.

Listen. Im blond. Guys arent crzy about me. All of the 'popular' girls at my school except one have brown hair. Still, I don't care whether or not every guy likes me. In the end, a good guy will like you for more than just your looks, anyway.

im a brunette with blue eyes and although im a cheerleader, im the only girl on the straight A honor roll and im a math geek.... so one would think i have boys lining up to ask me out, but thats not the case. i have struggled for the last 2 years and finally got the guy i like. so this is only partly true.

Im a boy, and my opinion to this which only regards to myself is that. Its not that there the prettiest, its that she knows shes pretty. Girls that know there pretty make them abit stuck up. Making it harder for a boy to get with them. Kinda like a challenge for the difficult "pretty" girl rather then the girl that would die if they were even to talk to them.

I totally agree with this! Why do boys go for the pretty girls especially skinny girls. I don't think boys get that the only thing that matters is personalliyty

You seem to have a skewed perspective of reality, or your 'friend'. Of course there are always people, guys and girls, that will only stay focused on status and that will always be true, even for you. It's human nature to look for the ideal mate, and the fact that this guy paid more attention to the popularity side of status is disappointing but not the end of the world. Certainly, the generalization that all guys are like this is just not true. The problem is that you or your friend have chosen to like guys that follow those standards, instead of realizing that they're operating on a weird fettish. Don't waste your time, and look elsewhere because that's when you'll find someone who isn't a shallow person; most importantly, don't assign these stereotypes to an entire gender, whether it's the blonde cheerleader or the guy chasing her.

Not all guys are like that. I know plenty that wouldnt ever base something on looks. Yeah thats part of it but every guy doesnt think the same and do disagree when it comes to whos cute and whos not.

Many guys have the view they are hot, they are not, NO that is not the right view stop looking at the outward and first get to know them for who they really are and then decide on if you want to date them by who they are on the inside not their looks

Now I think i'm a messed up teen 'cause i have blond hair and blue eyes and i'm 15 and never had a boyfriend... or even my first kiss. Plus, i don't base a guy off cuteness, I base him off of his personality. Maybe that's why i've never had a boyfriend....

i know what u mean. its very hard to get a guy without losing him to "cute girls." but why do the girls always crash when the boys break up with them? why do the girls seem dumb?

When in doubt... Blame it on your siblings <br /> when life gives you skittles throw them at random people and yell FEEL THE RAINBOW

in my opion guys (some of them) they only care about looks because then they can rub the girl in their friends faces or if they are in school they think imgae is everything  now im not saying all guys do that but most do its very rare to find a guy who loves you for you not for what you look like
