Why do guys like basic girls?

[Anonymous]

It seems like guys usually go for the Starbucks drinking, Ugg wearing, GIn & Tonic drinking girls over the more artistic types that are a little more offbeat.

why is this?

[steveguitar]

Artistic people can be off-putting I think. Especially if they dress differently or have a weird personality. Like for me, I write my own songs, play guitar, bass guitar, write lyrics and am starting to learn electric drums just to put in my songs. I also have learned show to make an electric guitar and I am making an electric bass right now.

Some people find it cool some don'tt. I don't share my stuff with anyone really, I don't perform or anything. And I am very slow at making my bass.

Most people don't know anything about me because I'm very closed off and don't speak much with people, they wouldn't even know that I'm creative unless I told them. Plus I don't think that people think songwriting is creative, they think that it's true same as playing guitar, you learn how or whatever.

I would love a creative girl, as long as she is cool and I was attracted to her.

Thanks for MHO!

I find that artistic, "hipster" girls sometimes have "offbeat" issues that go beyond their hobbies and appearance. One major issue is that these women are often very political. They rant and scream about Donald Trump being the coming of the anti-christ and everything else.

I'm not a huge Trump fan myself. However what I'm seeing from liberal "hipster" people is absolutely out of control lately. This behavior is making me LIKE Trump instead of convincing me to go in the other direction. This is one of the reasons I avoid "hipster" girls like this. Not saying you are like this, but many are.

Go read some alt-right literature and watch some alt-right productions. The regressive left will still suck but not nearly so much.

[ReWindCity]

And while he's not the anti-chryst there's good reason to rant about him. He has no business being in office. If me saying this makes you support him... that was bound to happen anyways

[Opinion Owner]

@ReWindCity well I might as well read some "alt-right" literature/production since the left has completely infiltrated and abused mass media, hollywood and tax payer funded public education to spew their own propaganda (except FOX news... which I actually don't even like either).

When will you people come to realize that YOU are the fucking reason Trump got elected. I don't even like him, but when you go around screaming "bigot" and "nazi" at every person who shows a hint of disagreement to your entrenched views you just might be pissing off VOTERS. We might be quiet, but we are going to kick you in the balls when election time comes around.

I swear if the left didn't act the way they did about the Trump campaign he wouldn't have been elected. If you keep this bullshit up he will only get RE-elected.

[ReWindCity]

Watch the generalization please. I criticized Trump because he has not been a good president thus far. I never called him a nazi or a bigot.

I don't speak for the left. I don't lead the left

And i said something against trump not against people who voted for him

[ReWindCity]

Except the minority of conservatives-the alt right

[Opinion Owner]

@ReWindCity alright if that's your approach I respect it. I just been seeing so many people (especially young hipster types) go way way over the top in the last few months. This stuff is only making things worse.

Like I said I'm not gung ho about him either. He's already done somethings that has hurt my business (I do consulting for a renewable energy company). But I do believe the liberal social domination and PC marxist trends created the perfect storm for him to get elected.

[NikiGoNN]

Actually, guys are all different. Good, future Husban, Types of guys WANT a woman with artistic-ness, ( So to speak). So a real good guy will accept your artistry.
Basically, If you think that most or all guys like basic girls, you are looking at the wrong type of guys. There are plenty of men who are accepting of girls talents/ personality.
Keep Looking, and Have fun!

[RJGraveyTrain]

Probably because these "basic girls" aren't solely defined by their footwear and coffee choices, who are possibly more dimensional and very likely less judgmental than the "artistic type" described.

I ain't even one of these girls but damn, why are women always out to put each other down? Lol.

[CrystalChild]

I think you're looking at a certain demographic of men. Because if you look in the right places and aren't totally egotistical or horribly disfigured, it's really not too badwith dating. Although if you're desperate that also decreases your chances.

[ButtHurt]

The basic girl sounds more down to earth just from the way you decribed the two.

[ReWindCity]

Weird question based entirely on stereotypes. Wearing ugg boots and drinking starbucks does not make you basic-comedians use the term for comedic effect. It doesn't mean much.

Some people are more driven by love some are more driven by lust. Those lust driven people are likely more superficial.

[AleDeEurope]

Because they're basic, ergo, more common to encounter, ergo, more chances to finding a basic girl than an artistic one.
Also, many artistic girls tend to be kinda weird... like feminist, SJW type of shit, you know? No man wants to deal with that.
Yeah, it's stereotyping, but come on, stereotypes aren't born out of nowhere.

[OpenWine]

Lol u mean the mainstream shit with smoothed hair? They look like clones and some of them act like they're a tier1 celeb.

I don't care which type of girl is in front of me she just has to feel attractive to me. The type of girl above is most of the time just a copy pasta with no personality or in my terms "get dat detroit bitch ass away from me" kind.

[ThisDudeHere]

Because said guys have learned what makes that kind of girl tick and use said knowledge to get what they want from those girls. You being more "unique" means that they wouldn't know right away what to do with you.

[Cosytoasty]

When you say artistic offbeat, it makes me think of goth tatted up girls with pale skin and bad piercings.

The basic girls sounds hotter and more down to earth for me.

[Blonde401]

What's wrong with pale skin?

[Cosytoasty]

@Blonde401 Nothing at all, when i say pale i mean the clammy damp kind of pale.

[Blonde401]

You mean like a corpse that's been in water?

[Cosytoasty]

@Blonde401 Not quite that macabre, but yeah the unhealthy pale from being indoors too much being "artistic".

[Blonde401]

Some people are just naturally pale. I am naturally very pale. I went to Spain for 3 weeks in summer and didn't get a tan. Some of us are just naturally pale and it has nothing to do with being indoors.

[Cosytoasty]

@Blonde401 Yep, I know that lol. There is also a difference between naturally pale and what I've got in mind.

I'm not a fan of the OP calling other girls "basic" and since she's throwing labels around, her description of the artistic girl simply brings negative connotations to mind

[Blonde401]

Agree, I don't like other girls being called basic but you basically called pale girls with tattoos :/

[Knuckles77]

I don't like either. I like redneck biker chicks and cowgirls. I don't like artsy fartsy hipsters or high maintence gold diggers.

[xxAjjxx]

I don't know your definition of basic but the definition I have I definitely don't date basic girls

[TripleAce]

We tend to want what others want. It's just a wave of followers. The trend could be anything but it has to catch on first

[Memememe1234]

let me know if you get any good replies on this because i would love to know as well

[Sualtam]

Because those girls are mainstream.
Something is mainstream if the majority of people like it.

[realperson02]

I smell jealousy.
as Superman's mom said 'there is one for everyone '.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

By "offbeat" you mean constantly making the papers for vandalizing and cussing loudly in public, right?

[Blueeyes2016]

Not me never have liked that type. Where everybody has to dress the same, same attitudes etc. I like someone from the offbeat path, please

[LastNightmare]

what's your age.. I think you're looking at younger guys

[Guy_No1]

I don't for one, I never have gone for basic types, as for ugg boots, they're hideouslly uggly.

[spencify]

i just like girls that i click with, not the stereotypes that they may fit into

[yilanjor]

Not all guys go for them. You're picking the wrong ones. It is not our fault

[OfDeath]

Artistic people in general are a bit eccentric. That can cause problems in a relationship.

[Anonymous]

Because they are hot.

[kodyl]

at this point as long as you breathe oxygen and are a girl i am probably going to ask you on a date

[CrystalChild]

Man 19 and already settling. Alright. XD
