Plus, that’s just a clich. Give me a cute dork or geek guy who thinks about sex all day over some alpha male idiot or one of his imitators, who thinks only about impressing other men, all day.

It’s certainly a good thing that girls have gotten a good deal more aggressive over the years, but the clich is rooted in a certain historical learning curve for both genders. Also, cute dorks and geeks can be nice, or they can be pretentious assholes. It’s about finding, or sometimes even faking, the right amount of self assurance that doesn’t cross over into egotism. Insecurity is rarely a huge turn on, and at the least prevents many otherwise nice people from pursing their options and desires. It also keeps them from realizing that the downside to taking the risk is usually slim to non-existant.
