I sort of agree and it's partly why I don't read those magazines anymore!
However, I do care about my appearance and in my opinion I use it to compensate for emotional problems that I've had in the past. Just a thought.

It's not that I expect guys to come over if I just sit there, but I assume if they don't come over then they're not interested in me so I don't bother going over to them. I'd never make the first move anyway.

omg you just said the magic words. I have this really pretty 15 year old friend who has had three exes and tells them she loves them and all but never puts ANY effort into the relationship. relies on her looks to keep them hooked. I make the move if I get tired of waiting for him (who obviously fancies me and vice versa) to make the move. lol

does anyone reckon this to be the case (maybe its the same from a girl perspetive looking at blokes)? Certainly nowhere near all girls, but some...jeez, they just sit there and look pretty and expect guys to put the effort/wit in while flick their hair...too much reading of those girlie mags if u ask me.



If people let them get away with it then I don't see why girls shouldn't rely on their looks. It's easier than putting in effort.

Some of us don't have looks, we have to rely on our sparkling wit and uncanny ability to quote large chunks of Monty Python.

You go to a weatherspoons or the computer area of ur college and most of em are chatting the same ****. Loads of girls are so homegenous

Yeah... but it's only to boost their morale really. Taking pride in your appearence is evidently quite important to some. Makes them feel better about themselves.
It's not far-fetched at all... Although, I do think some take it a little too far...

I hate to say it, but thats what I'm seeing a lot of. I've met very few girls who are interesting to talk to. Actually, I've only met one. :frown:

Even a lot of the girls on my engineering course are boring, if they mention the latest car or cool machine, the first point of interest is always cost or appearances. zzzZZZzzzZZZ... :rolleyes: Then there are the genuinely fun girls, but a lot of them tend to only want to talk about themselves.

I know theres quite a concentration of intelligent females on this forum, but in the real world this trend for self-obsession is quite evident in young girls.

It is partly the fault of blokes tho....we do put in the effort and so a whole load of girls have no reason to develop their brains. Even girls who put in effort are often pretty useless...dont really seem to say all that much!

Hey. Mind where you step there...

I think most men prefer nice personality over appearence... Of course looking good is a bonus, but it's not the top thing.

Hehe@the mind where you step comment, true, you're verging on very dangerous territory here.

Men putting in the effort into what? Just dating, or more?

I can't use myself as an example because I'm incredibly shy, but this is definitely not the case with all females, especially women rather than girls. Some men are even intimidated by strong direct women, and I'm sure some have complained about girls becoming too sexually direct on this forum before. Hehehehehe :p:

I cant do that!.. i would never chase after a lad though, i aint got the confidence...
I do like to look good but im not the type of person who can talk about make up, gossip etc.. i dont wear make up, i just rely on the vaseline for the lips lol and im not vain or anything like that..
My girly friends are the same, the lads say we are probably more laddy than them!.. id much rather have a good time, chill out etc than worry about all the make up etc etc

To be honest, I think if the guy is any good he'll make the girl prove herself to him and show him some value - rather than just sitting there.
