As a woman, it's easy to believe that you have a "type." For some it might be blonde hair, blue eyes, and a completely ripped body. For others, it might be a well-read bookworm wearing emo glasses. Regardless of what you might be attracted to, it's important to understand that it's all right to stray from your comfort zone once in a while and try something new. After much debate with my girlfriends, I have compiled a list of the top four types of guys every girl should date at least once and the top four guys that females should stay far, far away from at all times.
HOT:
The Intellectual: Smart is sexy and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Although watching jocks and frat guys crush beer cans on their heads for fun can be entertaining, eventually women want something more substantial. The Intellectual can give you a run for your money and actually produce stimulating conversations and make you think deeply about yourself. When it comes down to it, these guys are usually classy and conservative, but could use a little help to get out of their shells.
The Hot Guy: We all owe it to ourselves to date a gorgeous guy at least once in our lives. So what if you think that he's out of your league? If he's giving you the green light, give him the benefit of the doubt and go to dinner with him. Everyone needs to eat, and there are worse things than being trapped in a romantic restaurant with a serious piece of eye candy at the other end of the table. Even if it turns out that there really isn't much to him, chalk it up to experience. Wouldn't you rather know how things turned out than wonder what could have been?
The Sweet Guy: What girl doesn't love to be loved? For some reason, women feed off of jerks and can't get enough of them. As a result, we've become desensitized to it and a nice guy blows through like a breath of fresh air. We say that we deserve better, so don't even think about denying this one. While some Sweet Guys will sweep you off of your feet immediately, whisking you away on whirlwind adventures, there's a nice guy for everyone. What girl doesn't love a gentlemen that holds the door for her, gushes about how beautiful she looks (after she has spent three hours to get the perfect results), and treats her like a princess. This one is definitely a keeper, and even if you don't believe he's your type, give him a chance.
