How come guys usually don't like girls that are smart and dress without showing too much.?

Answer 1

It is probably one particular guy or group of guys that you are talking about. Expand your horizons.

Answer 2

It may seem that guys go after the girls who dress scantily for a number of reasons. There might be a pattern with how girls dress and how attractive guys find them, but I'm not sure. I would guess that guys are more intimidated by girls who dress without showing too much because it may give the impression that they are less interested in guys.
However, intelligence definitely does not detract from a girl's appeal. It's more important that a girl has a down to earth personality than anything else.

Answer 3

They have nothing against those kind of girls in general.

The underlying factor is often insecurity. A lot of insecure girls dress the way you describe and are smart.

I would make the effort to figure out why you are beautiful and worthy of love right now and walk secure in that knowledge.

This may not mean much coming from a stranger but I know you are beautiful enough and special enough to be liked by someone worth of you.

If you are a kid and the boys you speak of are kids, then be glad... Boys are lazy and they may be going for the girls who advertise that they are giving something away cheap.

You are not cheap. What you have is worth the serious love of a decent guy. Don't sell yourself short lady!

Answer 4

I will tell you from experience...I am pretty intelligent and don't wear skimpy clothing...What I wear is pretty classy, stylish without being trendy. I don't wear a lot of makeup and wear my hair up nicely. I do go out and am friendly but not too available and men LOVE THAT, I think. The reason why I am this way and really DON'T WANT to get hit on by all of them is because I have bigger priorities...I think it's all about confidence without hitting them over the head with *********. I just like to go out sometimes and be around people. The funny thing is that once you get out there and put yourself together a bit - not slutty or dressed TOO fancy, just show that you CARE about yourself and like to look pretty good, you will probably have them asking you out - once THAT happens, they will be "AMAZED" at how lucky they are to find someone who is not only pretty, but is SMART, too and they won't want to leave you alone. Just smile, flirt (ONLY A LITTLE) and be pleasant to be around. :) Common activities help, too. At a local pub, they have karaoke and billiards every week, and live bands on other nights. I don't care much for the live band nights because it's too rowdy a crowd for me, but on mellow nights, I actually am running the table on a good night...lol.

Show that you are INTERESTING and funny...YOU know what your special qualities are - so PROJECT THEM...if you are nice, then be nice (just don't get suckered), if you are funny...be funny :)

I would be leery of internet dating - I met my ex boyfriend on the internet and he ended up a creep and that's basically all he did was sit on the computer and complain about everything without experiencing LIFE. A lot of people on the internet pretend to be something they are not and it's a lot harder to gauge a lie or two (Hundred) if you aren't able to look them straight in the eye.

If that is your picture you don't have anything to worry about :D - you're perfectly cute and should KNOW it. A nice outfit befitting your age and a little lipgloss and you will SHINE. You also look sweet and friendly and approachable, too. Believe me, you don't want a guy who thinks himself the hottest thing around, like my ex boyfriend, and you DEFINITELY DON'T want a thug or someone only out for a piece of tail. The RIGHT guy will come along, until then...date the ones that are nice and fun too.

One more word of advice, don't drink a lot if you go out and don't jump into anything. Better also to let THEM come to YOU instead of chasing them around. My grandpa always said let the boys chase you til you catch them ;-)

Another good thing to do is listen to Reba McEntire's "Fancy"...at the very least it will make you laugh :D

Also, pubs aren't the ONLY place to meet nice guys - volunteer work, libraries, community activities, etc. Find something that interests YOU and build on that - there is likely a nice man who also is interested in that activity and may approach you with a question - DON'T ACT NERVOUS...it's just a GUY, FOR PETE'S SAKE...LOL. Half the world is FILLED with them. Hope this helps - Good luck!

Answer 5

Some say that guys are afraid of girls like that. Personally I think a smart girl is really hot. A girl can dress sexy without dressing slutty and that's how I prefer my girl to dress.

Answer 6

I do! My girlfriend is a writer and a journalism major. She dresses quite conservatively.

Guys like unintelligent girls because they won't make the guy look dumb(which they probably are). Also, girls who show a lot of skin are usually easier to get into bed, and the extra skin is quite pleasing in the eyes of a man.

Answer 7

Don't globalize. Smart and "real" guys love smart women and women who know when and where it is the right place and time to show what is appropriate for the time and place. In other words, wear the slutwear to the club, not school or the office.

Answer 8

Men are very simple creatures, Not all of us are as shallow as the men you're categorizing us to be. First case is that a man does want a smart woman not a smart-*** woman. Secondly, a man does not want to be with a woman when his arm candy isn't candy at all. I don't mean this to be specific to you, just trying to answer this with open arms. You probably have not met the right man for yourself, One day the right man will walk into you life when you least expect it.

Answer 9

that's not true at all.

however they tend not to stick out. and further, TV, movies and so forth train the brain at an early age that the smart ones are dull and boring. and the hoochi mammas are the thing to get.

i personally don't like the glitz, and would rather have someone who knows something. i would go for Velma in scooby doo. she's the only real character.

it also may mean that your hanging in the wrong crowds and who it is your trying to attract. you'll attract the same type of person as yourself in most cases.

Answer 10

that is because guys are only interested in girls with spunk and guys just dont go for girls half dressed okay for some that is a turn-off because it show that the girl is loose and goes for any guy but if you make yourself available before those kinds of girls show up and it will be a decision that he will have to make but if you play the cards right he might go for you

Answer 11

Some guys only care about looks. Others care about personality.

Personally, I care more about a person's personality. If someone falls in love with another person only because they look nice, will that live dissolve if there is a disfiguring incident? The physical shell is just that, a shell. It is what is inside a person that matters. Anyone who can't see this, is as shallow as the beauty that they so desire.
