What Women Want: Pretty or Pretty Smart?

study.jpghot-guy.jpg

Just like we are always wondering what guys are thinking (which is usually sex, boobs, or sex), guys want to know what’s on our minds. What do we want? What do we like? What the hell do we mean when we curtly say “it’s fine” after we catch them chatting with a whore another girl at the party?

Contrary to popular belief, they care what we think. Not only because they want to please us, but because they want to woo us, lure us…and get us into their beds.

So, we at CollegeCandy decided it was time to let guys know exactly what we like/hate/and dream about at night. So, vote, comment and pass this on to those boys in your life. And remember: unlike sex with most college men, this is all for you in the end.

What is more important to you: a guy who is well groomed (read: pretty), or a guy who is well-read (read: intelligent)?

    preferably both, but i cannot date a guy who can’t hold a semi-intelligent conversation.

    Right now I happen to have an incredibly attractive and incredibly intelligent boyfriend. I don’t know how it happened because I’m never that lucky, but the point is that a little bit of both is definitely needed. Also boys: If you think we don’t care that you’re the only one who gets something in the end out of sex… you are wrong. Working on that together can be fun.

    I agree with Jen and Kaley–Men need to have both to really stand a chance with women. However, if the poll read:

    a. intelligent convo, but ugly.

    b. not intelligent, but hot.

    You’d probably see more people go for the 2nd option. I feel like people who voted for “Intelligent conversation is far more important than perfect hair” are still assuming the guy is relatively attractive, which compromises the argument of the results.

    Hopefully everyone can find the best of both worlds in their partners.

    At the risk of sounding like a jerk: This probably is similar to how I choose women. There is a threshold of intelligence she needs to be above, then the prettier the better. I suppose it is similar for women choosing men?

Weekly Wrap Up: Thank You, World

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. That means you’ve got six days to hit the gym and eat healthfully in an attempt to make up for the massive amounts of fat, sugar and tryptophan about to hit your bloodstream. (Unless you’re currently single, in which case you’re probably mainlining cake frosting at this very moment.) I’m getting sleepy just thinking about it.
