Girls, you can deny it all you want, but every single one of us has tried to act or change in a certain way in order to get a guy’s attention. You swore you would never wear your glasses in public until you heard the boy you have a crush on likes ‘smarter looking girls’. You’ve even pulled a Cady Heron and told the cute guy in your math class you were confused on what you learned when you had a concrete understanding on the lesson. Don’t be ashamed, we’ve all done it. For some reason us girls think we need to act a certain way in order to get guys attention, when in reality guys love all the quirky things we do.
I asked 25 anonymous guys to name something quirky or silly –but wouldn’t be a deal breaker– that they would enjoy if a girl did or didn’t do.
And heres what I got:
-
Has a good sense of smell and appreciates smells.
-
Has a passport.
-
Preferably shoe size less than 7.
-
Plays the bagpipes, but is shy about it.
-
Drives a Hyundai.
-

-
Puts the toilet seat up after she uses the washroom.

No pulp in the O.J. or strain that sh*t out for me.
-

-
Family gives out full chocolate bars on Halloween.
-

These anonymous wants prove that males enjoys a girl who is able to embrace her inner quirks. So girls, stop trying to change yourself in order to get guys attention. Turns out Sidney White was right all along, being ok with being a dork is a good thing, so, “Lets hear it for the dorks!!”
And a few final words for all you girls: be yourself because everyone else is taken (best/ worst cliche, I know, but I had to end with it).
