Yeah I don't know where the stereotype that eye candy girls are JUST eye candy comes from.
I dated and/or was friends with many of the cheerleaders in my high school. Many of them turned down cheerleading/volleyball scholarships because the National Merit, etc, scholarships gave them pretty much a full ride to really good colleges. They were also very nice girls. A couple of them dated me, and I am not exactly a perfect 10 in the looks/brawn category.
A couple of my friends now (who I have known for years) are strippers. They also go to school with me. One is getting her masters in computer science, and is one of the nicest girls I know. And the other is majoring in Classics and understands the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers 10 times better than I do. She tutors me when I have trouble in Latin class. She is also a huge Star Trek/ Star Wars/ Tolkien nerd, a complete sweetheart and my best friend.
I think this stereotype comes from the fact that the majority of guys do not have the confidence to talk to "eye candy" girls even on a casual or friendly basis. They cover for this by convincing themselves that these girls are not worth the time anyway. "I am not missing out because if she is THAT FREAKIN HOT she is probably a dumb shallow skank."
Guess what, you ARE missing out.
