College Candy

It is not hard to tell that we l-o-v-e summer around here. The clothes are so much cuter, the drinks are more refreshing, and the boys are lookin’ goooood. Well, some of em. The rest look the same as the rest of the year, just without the over-sized puffy jacket.We have been spending a lot of time outside lately – drinking, walking, flirting – and have met a lot of males. A lot. And the weird thing is, they all seem to fit into 7 categories. So, we decided to help you out a little and break down the Boys of Summer.

The Preppy Boy: Deck shoes, nautical inspired belt, sun kissed skin under a crisp Polo shirt, this boy is hot and he knows it. And even if he’s not so hot, the look makes him seem that way. Don’t be fooled, though; the closest he’d come to boating was the cruise he took with his parents last Christmas. Despite the false advertisement, this boy is ready, willing and EAGER to buy you drinks at the bar. Cozy up, Captain.

The Lazy Guy: School is out for summer and this kid wants nothing to do with responsibility. He spends his days on Mama’s couch watching Made marathons/playing Halo/poking girls on Facebook and his nights at the bar with his boys from home (scamming drinks/charging the tab to his dad’s credit card). Sometimes, if you’re lucky, he will shower and change his boxers. If you want this guy (more power to you), hang out at the neighborhood Blockbuster/24 hour eatery.

Shirtless Running Guy: If there could only be one perk to summer, it’s the fact that it is FAR too hot for boys to run with clothes on. So they take off their sweaty shirts. And show off their sweaty bods. And run around town. Sweating. Glistening. This guy is dedicated to staying in shape – at whatever cost. Perhaps it is time to pick up a new hobby? Go for a jog and get to know this dude.

The Exam Guy: He is spending his summer days in Princeton Review classes and at the library working his ass off to ace the LSAT/GMAT/GRE. 9am-5pm, baby. And after that? Passing out on the couch. When he finally breaks down and hits the town, he will go nuts; make out with every girl in the room, buy rounds for everyone in the bar and spew off random facts from his review books. Grab a book and head to the library if you want a piece of this to-be-success story.

The Grill Guy: He doesn’t trust people easily, especially when it comes to making some quality meat. He comes into the party/BBQ, heads straight for the grilling tools and makes himself at home next to the grill. Sure, he will have a few beers and chat it up with the people around him…but only if they are within earshot of the grill (and the fruit…er…meat of his labor). The Grill Guy’s love of marinades and seasonings transfers to the ladies as well; he likes a saucy and spicy girl. If you want this meat master, brush up on your A1 knowledge, turn on the charm…and hang out near the BBQ.

The Sunglasses Guy: In the morning. In the afternoon. In the night. At the bar. At the movies. In bed…. All. The. Time. This guy never takes off his sunglasses. And why should he? They look HOT. This guy also likes to check out his reflection in any and all reflective surfaces (including that second pair of shades he has in his pocket), and talk about how hot he is. What does this guy look like behind the shades? You will never know…

The Hookup Guy: The summer means nothing more to this guy than an opportunity to rack up some numbers to brag to his friends about when he heads back to school. You will most likely find him at the bar – looking goooooood in a button down, jeans and a pair of flip flops – charming all the ladies around him. He is definitely a good catch if you are looking for a little summer fun, but be sure to delete his number the next day. He will do the same.
