Your situation is my life story. I'm about to turn 18 and I'm a nice guy, I don't look bad, and those who know me tend to like me. However, I hardly have any experience with girls. A reason for that is I'm a little shy, yeah, but I also kind of freeze up around someone I'm interested in and as a girl here posted above, this means I'm not participating in the "chase". I'm not a sexist or anything but there are definitely a good amount of girls out there, especially at my high school who are attracted to dickheads. Don't think these girls are sluts and cokewhores or anything. Some of them are the nicest and smartest girls I know.
A year ago I was standing outside and this guy threw this girl I know in the snow and ran around her and literally kicked more snow in her face and pushing her. What was she doing while sitting there, flat on her ass? Laughing hysterically...It was a little disgusting honestly. It's scientifically that men are attracted to women who, quite obviously, appeal to them sexually. Women however, are attracted to the man with status. Maybe this goes back to the cavemen days where a woman chose her mate based on who brought home the biggest buffalo? >_> Anyway, this guy in your class, is a dick and he's creating a dumb uproar, but he's confident and this gives him a certain status in the classroom. He doesn't seem to care. For these reasons, your girl seeks his company. I hope you read this, I'm very interested in your thread.
