What
Would Nina Do?
Dear
Nina,
Whats up with all these girls going for busted men on campus?
Im a juicy piece of eye-candy for the ladies, but I get beat
out by geeks all the time. What goes on, dude?

Dear
Narcissus,
How the hell a ugly dude get a fine girls number?
You know (or maybe not) what NWA would say hes getting
juiced for his ducats. In other words, flash the cash, moron, or
quit complaining because your looks arent going to get you
far if the girls you like are even more superficial (read: materialistic)
than you.
This Beauty and the Beast thing is actually a pervasive and fascinating
trend today. It extends far beyond this campus. I mean, hi, you
may be familiar with such disconcerting couples as Lyle Lovett and
Julia Roberts, Kid Rock and James King, Tom Green and Drew Barrymore.
There is also an entire sub-category which pervades the streets
of New York, that I like to call the Woody Allen syndrome, the truly
bewildering sight of seeing pretty Asian women on the arms of totally
pasty Jewish guys with frizzy hair.
Anyway, girls around here might go for sugar daddies (young men
might be advised likewise), or they may be picking geeks
for their song-writing skills, ability to wear navy blue and black
together, or barely visible eight-day stubble.
If youre a conventionally good-looking guy who waxes his chest,
works out and has a tan, you may have to wait for business school
to get laid, unless you feel like taking a voice major to Cleveland
for sushi.
The other hope lies in the fact that all the celebrity couples mentioned
above are now split up. Perhaps this is just a phase women go through,
being attracted to the underdog. Youll have your day again,
champ.
Nina
