Is it a turn off?

When I actually make an effort, by not being geeky, dressing up, wearing contact lenses etc I get A LOT more attention; which puzzles me as I just think to myself why should it matter.

if the geeky guy is attractive, i would find it a bigger turn on than if it was a hard nut attractive guy.

Well I am an attractive guy; just not when I am geeky; I look like your typical mathematician there. so it saddens me :frown:

I don't like your stereotypical teen movie geeky guy, huge spots, magnified glasses etc. but I definately like intelligent guys. Dumb ones are annoying and not intellectually challenging. At first I though it was 'weird' to like intelligent/'geeky' guys but now I'm way more attracted to them than pretty boys. I see them as a long term investment :p:

Geeky guys will probably get a good job and have lots of money to shower me in gifts with :biggrin:

See, everyone's happy :p:

I like them, my maths class is very nice. My taste is considered wierd by most people though and I rarely bother to make any moves. Girls a fickle, you probably would get more attenion dressed up.

Well like you said when you make an effort you get more attention, you cant expect to do well when you arent trying and you look like you've just woken up

I look quite intelligent/geeky with glasses on. I am quite intellectually challenging, which is frustrating because over here at uni I don't have many opportunities to hold a convo with a gal I like w/o them thinking "what a geeky boring git!" and on night outs, lol welll.....you can't talk 'intellectually' in a club can you! :eek:

Lol not really :p:

Maybe you're chatting to girls from the wrong places. Seems to me the obvious girls to talk to are the ones in and around your accomodation and the ones in your lectures...xxx

Thats why I like geeks. I love the conversations as its a nice change from all the guys that only want to talk sex or football.

Yeah sure....But I don't dress up like a complete tramp at uni either, I just dont wear a blazer, shirt, contact lenses or aftershave when I am heading off for my 10:00 o clock lecture....I was hoping that girls would at least see beyond the geekyness and think "he's cute", rather then approaching me when I am looking quite fit. Like I know gals that dress down/geeky type, that I find really fit, because I know that if they'd dressed up a bit and made an effort, they would be so fit.

Accomadation - living in a private flat this year....impossible, unless I bump into a really nice girl when I am taking the rubbish out in my pjaymas. Very unlikely.

Lectures; again impossible. They are in groups talking to their mates, and secondly, once the lecture starts its time to be quite. In addition I am doing mathematics, its a sausage fest in there :biggrin:

I have some female friends, admittedly very few female friends; but thats it 'female friends'.

I think its time to join some societies. This is not good

Blazer would help. Dress sense is more important than natural looks by the way. At least for me.

Then choose a female friend you get along with particularly well and try and further this relationship...Or just don't expect too much too soon. Too many people go to uni thinking 'I'm going to meet someone and have a great relationship' Nooo! Give it time m'dear! x

Blazers generally looks good on me, because I am quite tall and broad. I have a good stature. However it only looks good if I am wearing contact lenses; makes me look like someone that works in the city, rather then a university professor (which is what ends up happening with specs on).

Secondly, I only like wearing blazers with a lovely shirt on underneath; as thats when they look best, rather then with a jumper on underneath IMO (anyway).

....however, I could be completely wrong!

Geeks will never attract good looking girls. Just like a girl who was dressed like a geek wouldn't attract guys. If you are getting attention after making effort then there is no problem.

And don't talk bloody maths around them.

well, I am in second year now! It troubles me when I see everyone else getting into relationships. Feeling left out :frown:

It's even more disturbing when I get a lot of attention looking a certain way, then when I just look "normal" - just wtf! (I can't look that bad can I?)

I guess I am scared about carrying the "give it time mentality", because this could just be repetitive; as before I know it I would be in third year moaning on the studentroonm.co.uk about exactly this topic. (my worse fear)

It would be a lot easier if I didn't get attention at all, but going from one extreme to the other depending on my dress sense is a complete joke which provoked me to start such a thread in a first place. :biggrin:
