I got news for you: This ain't NHS.

Not that I think that stuff is unimportant, or that he should be with the new girl rather than you, but it just kind of read that way.

personality definitly means more.

The personality might get you someplace, but you'll have to wake up to the real world: nobody gives a damn about your gpa or volunteer hours, besides the college to which you will apply in some distant future. Face it, right now you're just another grade-grubbing college admissions suckup.

Concentrate on being a good, real person. Focusing your life on grades and school will only get you to college, and then you'll just have to prove yourself again when you get there.

By "way more volunteer hours," I believe the poster was using a metaphor for how long she's known the guy in question than the skinny blonde.

"Looks get your further in life than GPA ever will. If you're hot, but stupid, it matters not. Life will be served to you on a platter. If you're fat, ugly, but smart, you will BARELY get by because you will have to struggle to get your foot in the door everywhere because all the pretty people will be in line ahead of you. i suggest you kill yourself now, and save us all the hassle of you whining about it for the rest of your life."


Someone's thinking optimistically. Looks are a very good advantage, they give a most definite perk to getting into relationships, and they give you perks in just about everything else (it's called the halo quality or something like that, if someone looks good we generally seem to think that they are good at other things), but I'd say GPA can definitely rival it. For people who say GPA just gets you into college and then nothing else, that's not true. The college you go to can drastically effect your odds of getting a job, and any merit scholarships you get from going to prestigious universities will also travel on your resume' for the rest of your life.



But enough bitching on that topic. Your GPA doesn't factor into relationships much (unless you happen to be looking for the ideal husband in a sort of arranged marriage type sense), and personality is truly a subjective field. I'm sorry you didn't get the guy; just keep trying and don't give up and good things will come.

I'm sure.
