I was a nerd in high school. As such, I had many nerdy friends. One of them was this really obnoxious, racist (well, not actually racist, but he made many racist jokes that were in poor taste,) hardcore conservative jewish boy. Many people in high school wanted to beat the pumpernickel out of him for being exactly what I said (conservative high school student in San Francisco? :f6: ) but he had none of it, stood up for what he believed in, and would happily debate anyone in politics for hours. He was not the best looking boy in school (far from it, actually 
) and yet I found myself attracted to him. Why? Because he had some pineappleing cajones to say the things he said, and wasn't some pansy little pushover like many of the other boys in our little nerdy circle of friends. (I mean for Christ's sake, we called ourselves the SUPERFRIENDS, how pineappleing nerdy is that?)
Honestly, I do see girls (including myself) going after the "alpha males." In my case, there was another guy who was interested in going out with me, but he did everything wrong: he was really nice to me, gave me random gifts for no reason, wrote me sappy letters, and went out of his way to ride the bus with me, even though taking a different route would have been faster. The only thing he really accomplished by doing all this was: a) I knew that he liked me, and b) he made himself look really desperate and needy. Girls don't want that! Of course I turned him down.
Wrap your head around that: I would have rather gone out with a racist conservative than a nice guy.
