Question Posted Saturday December 3 2005, 12:17 am
Why are guys so goddamn shallow?! Not saying girls aren't but I know I lowered my standards a bit because the guy I like right now is hott to me but I know the majority of girls would disagree. It's just..the boobs, tall, blonde hair..can't guys see past that to other people with more substance?! Do similar interests mean anything? How can you tell if they're flirting or not or just pretending to lead you on then burn you, or even just being "friends"? Please help, I'm so sick of being a loner. Thanks.

Some guys only bother to look at the girls they hang out with or talk to regularly, and if this guy is popular, he probably doesn't like much more than the popular girls.
Not all guys are like this, but many younger guys, sadly, are. A few guys can see past all of the looks and see the girls with more substance. Similar interests do mean something, yes. Usually guys will want someone that has one (or some) of the same interests, or else they'd be pretty bored if they tried talking to each other.
It's hard to tell of a guy is flirting or simply leading you on. It's also hard to see if he's trying to be friends or something more, because a lot of times, a guy will usually try to become friends with a girl if he likes her, so she can notice him and they can get to know one another better.
A guy might be leading you on if he wants to just 'do stuff', like sex, with you. (Don't do it!) Other than that, it's hard to tell what a guy's true intentions are.
