has her hair dyed a bright color
plays an instrument (like the drums or guitar or sometin)
is a gamer
wears no makeup but if she does it goes along with her badass look

I always hear guys saying this is their dream girl these days. why do guys only consider these girls to be "cool" and ignore other girls who fall out of the catigory?

what about a girl who is unique, funny, smart, athletic, not afraid to speak her mind, enjoys deep conversations etc?, and why are they not considered cool anymore?

Update: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you do. How many times do you wish or do see a girl in bright hair with a cool band t shirt or perhaps a vgame t shirt and you're like hey she's cool I want to be her friend. And then you see people who you can't tell if they're cool or not and don't even bother with them... Oh yeah and I forgot to mention her fav genre of music is hard rock 4 months ago

is cool indeed since not many girls are like that.

  Idk I've never thought of changing myself like that its just when love is involved I get so irrational.. Sometimes I feel my uniqueness has made me miss out on opportunities to make more connections in my life making me less relatable not to mention I'm quite quiet with random people lol but now I'm off topic I tend to be a little ADHD lol

  Well I have the piercing because I genuinely think its cute and I want to dye my hair because I just do regardless of what people think is cool if that was why you were thinking.. Main point is people grow out of these things right, and will mature and find discover their own personal cool which I already have.

  Its not the eye brow piercing or tattoo that makes a person badass but the attitude with which you live your life.Clearly you are in your teens.You might understand these things more clearly after you gain some life experience.

  P.S. you don't need to drastically change your personality for someone else cause then it destroys who you are as a person and you end up being someone you are not.

  Oh yeah and maybe this is a preference for guys who are still in their teens.
  Men have different preferences while some may like the rock chick with dyed hair,tattoos & badass look.
  
  I certainly can assure you that is not the ideal girl for majority of men

  maybe then that is your boyfriend's preference.
  we all have our own mental projections about the ideal guy/girl.

  Well that's like me and I've never been called cool, I'm called gorgeous by guys and always underestimate my smarts.. Then I disprove them wahaha. I'm always hear my boyfriend say girls like I described above are so cool and just looking at their style he wants to be their friend. Just because you like those things and look like that have nothing to do with your personality :/

I am one of these girls. Not because of the trend but because slowly over time it just happened. I don't believe I get a lot of attention because of my looks. I dye my hair because I like being different, I like video games because I grew up with them and I wear no make up because I don't sew the need to hide behind it. My clothing suits my body and skin tones and I like heavy rock because its what I grew up with. I can't help who I am. I like me this way and a lot of the time I get the attention I do, because I am confident. Simple. I think you will find it isn't the look of someone that draws attention it is how well they pull it off.

i guess you are taking it too seriously. everyone has a different personality traits. I personally look very shy and conservative but in reality I am very outgoing, am very friendly, I love whiskey(I am told not many girls enjoy it), I love playing video games. but at the same time I am very intellectual and love deep covos. so I have diverse personality traits and my boyfriend says he hates me for this because he find me very confusing... but other people like me... so it depends entirely on person to person.

  true.. Honestly I don't think my boyfriend would have given me the light of day if he wasn't so physically attracted to me lol

  here also I would like to comment on personal preference of every single being. my boyfriend got attracted to me because of me simple sober appearance. its only afterward he got to know I really am inside. Yes it is true people categorize in fashion because it is the outer appearance we see. and their personality traits are only known afterwards.

  Sorry o forgot to say I was talking about initial attraction to want to be friends with somebody or more, and the tendency for people to categorize in this fashion regardless of how they reeally are if that makes sense
