[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essays from boys are going to be far inferior to girls and that is the major stumbling block.

As a female Georgia AO told us, "ask a girl to write how pretty she is and she will whip out 4 paragraphs. Boys need to take the same attitude."

Teenage boys dont write about feelings like girls do. And AO's want teenagers to pour their heart out in essays. This is like pulling teeth out for boys.[/quote]

Maybe don't generalize?  My sons wrote beautiful essays.[/quote]

Same. They have a fantastic writing program at their high school. [/quote]

Yeah...those guys aren't the ones that these girls want to date. They want to have their cake and eat it too with some sort of handsome, Renaissance man who enjoys sports and is manly but reads their minds and answers to all their emotional needs while making $500k within 5 years of graduation.

Your "beautiful essay" boys are just dorks.

OP - the boys your daughter wants are in Honors Colleges at big universities where sports and academics are both well-regarded. They aren't looking to for some small town, rural SLAC experience. And the recruited athletes at those schools aren't looking for your daughter. They're looking for the girls who are joining sororities at big universities where sports and academics are both well-regarded. [/quote]

:lol:  I'll be sure and let my boys who attend big universities - [b]and who both wrote beautiful essays, AND have serious girlfriends [/b] - know what some rando on the internet is blathering about.  [/quote]

Go ahead. I'm sure those girls are less attractive than most. A lid for every pot they say.[/quote]

Bless your heart.  Sounds like you need all the grace you can get.[/quote]

The truth hurts, doesn't it lady?[/quote]
