Very bright young girl, what does that mean?

[Anonymous]

All throughout high school and college, I've been labeled as a very bright young lady by professors, teachers, and counselors.

I really want to know what that exactly means... I mean random professors who don't even know my grades say that I look like a very bright young girl... Does it mean I look nerdy?

It means you look nerdy, but that's not a bad thing. If we're talking about the basis of looks then there are plenty of guys who like a girl with an intellectual edge, I personally am crazy about girls who wear glasses. Even though it's a general stigma that nerds aren't cool, having a girl who doesn't care and is true to herself and her image is a very impressive thing. Hell, most people will think this is weird but I have 20/20 vision and I wear glasses simply because I like them.

but I don't even wear glasses

[kambo_trick3y]

I can't see what you look like, but the base meaning that I'm trying to get across is you seem to have a scholarly look about you, as denoted by your statements said by your professors. The point is isn't the glasses, the point is being true to your image and showing it off with pride, and that having a scholarly look isn't a bad thing, it can be considered quite sexy.

well, I do tend to dress very conservative as in muted colors...i don't wear revealing clothes or wear any bright or happy looking colors...im a brunette as well...and asian.

[kambo_trick3y]

Hah! Well the Asian is probably the deal breaker for a lot of professors, many people seem to think we're geared toward the smarter side (hell if I know where that came from, I'm stupid as a brick). Regardless, never change who you are, your style may change, but being able to stay true to who you are in the face of adversity, nerdiness or not, is one of the best traits a person can hold.

Not that you look nerdy, but intelligent. You can probably understand concepts and people pretty quickly, something that gets noticed easily.

They always said I was bright too, just lazy. But that was before I knew I had ADD.

[Asker]

so looking intelligent repels guys I guess...

[WoIIie]

Where the heck did guys fit into all this? LMAO

[Asker]

well I keep getting comments from older adults saying that I look bright and stuff, and I haven't had any relationships with men (barely 1), so I'm assuming looking bright=ugly

[sixstring]

You can be bright and ugly, but you can be bright and attractive as well.

[FierceMegan]

For someone who is "very bright" you don't know what that means? It means that they think you're intelligent.

[Asker]

i know...but these things are coming out of people who I just met, and I guess that implies I look somewhat nerdy?

[FierceMegan]

No, it could just be the way you carry yourself. Perhaps, you don't act like a silly teenager. Also, they may want to provide you with an appropriate compliment, and that one is a very acceptable compliment.

[kmhco]

You don't look or act like a total ditz. That is what it means

[WoIIie]

Yes, you look like a book worm and probably sit at the front of the class and label your notes with 5 different highlighters.

[udolipixie]

Does it mean I look nerdy? Yes

[decentusername]

It means you're smart.

[Ezmotts]

You probably have the smart look about you.
