A 'Wierd' person is often also a 'Sexy' person?

In my world it has always been like this.

I was the type in school to listen to the other guys fawn over the blond,big breasted Cheerleader,or the newest playboy playmate of the month
Don't get me wrong these women are physically attractive in their own way.Like in a one night stand lusty kind of way you might say.But their personalities and interests just seem so boring and dead to me.Despite the fact the male majority were crazy over them.

But then I would see (for example) that cute,non prissy,lonely looking goth girl with the black hoodie sitting alone drawing manga panels and find her very attractive.The type that you would soon find out was also interested in cool things like astrology/astronomy,Scifi,the Paranormal, etc.In other words hobbies that wouldn't exactly be considered mainstream interests.The kind of girl that attracted you with her shyness/kindness,because you knew she was far less likely to be self absorbed like that blond head cheerleader.

It may be both a blessing and a curse,but all I can say is thank God for 'wierd' people.Because without them this entire world would be reduced to an existence of bland mainstream mediocrity

I know what you mean OP. I liked weird people to. I think it may be because I'm very non-mainstream myself & kind of an outsider so I feel the weird types are more relatable to me

Agreed.
I find the conventional cute type very unappealing.

Here, here! Well said Gtw1983. I couldn't agree more. And my preference has always been for the type of girl that you describe. I made the mistake of dating the other type once and quickly learned not to do that again!

Whose career will have a more lasting impact, Myley Cyrus or Lady Gaga?

Admittedly I've got similar tastes, but I think it's dangerous to go around assuming that just because someone is mainstream, that they are boring, empty, or somehow less of a person. They might be very friendly people if you give them a chance.

True that. But still..... I couldn't be with someone as a partner, if she wasn't completely bats**t crazy like I am. It's the only way. Like Kerouac said....

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

Just out of interest, why is this goth girl less likely to be bitchy and self absorbed?

Some of the bitchiest people I've ever met were uncool girls. Some of the most uninteresting and annoying people I've met have been "weird" people, too.

I don't find "weird" people attractive. My attraction is solely based on the individual.
I dated a guy for 4 months who was computer geeky obsessed with anime and ended up eventually being repulsed by him,

recently I dated a computer geeky guy who was also very interesting and intelligent, and was absolutley crazy about him. He moved overseas for a job, and that's why it ended.

I mean both of these people were "computer geeks", but they had extremely different personalities and one was a lot less boring than the other.

I've always been attracted to "geeks". Talk nerdy to me!
"Normal" People are so tedious, I like people who are 1) Intelligent and 2) Unique
Otherwise I'm bored senseless.

I can't even get aroused without mental stimulation. Many typically attractive men have shown interest in me but I found them boring and shallow, regardless of their "good looks" I found them not only unappealing but they repulsed me.

I"d have to agree with hale_bopp, though I'd say the persona plus presentation is a huge attractant. A person can be dark and mysterious, yet still have a bubbly/cheery attitude. Granted, I've only tried dating once about 10 years ago, and I still find myself attracted to certain women with a particular look to their face (cant really explain it). Package + Persona = what you're looking for . . . but, you still have to remember that the package with change over time. So, shallowness isnt an option if you plan to grow old with someone.
