Boy Advice for you Rising Frosh Girls

by:    

There are exactly 4 types of guys that you will come across at Penn that you may find yourself attracted to. Here is my simple advice for each type when you first get to know them whether its on Locust or on the dance floor.

1) Athlete or Fratty: be touchy feely, flirt, talk about parties, which frat he is in or where he wants to rush

2) Sceney: don't ask too many questions, just go with the flow and talk about betches or downtowns or your favorite places in NYC

3) Studious "grad school bound": talk about both your majors or the kind of places you've visited or want to travel to

4) Artist/Activist: these guys are very rare but from my one time experience with one of them, I'd say complementing his personality or asking about his choices is a good start.

Which one is the most common? Which one is the easiest to approach? For example, is being a Wharton student going to get me different experiences rather than a college or nursing student? Or does my wealth also impact anything?

these are all good questions! the most common is definitely 1. 2 is the hardest to approach while 1 is probably the easiest.
Being in a particular major or undergraduate school will give you different experiences in the sense that you may have more or less time to socialize (outside of school and clubs) and meet guys. Most guys and girls find Wharton to be a little unattractive unless the person is in dual degree, then it is super attractive!

Wealth does not make a difference to guys, trust me! Though I think being upper middle class at least helps for type 2. What matters more is looks, personality and if you have made the right moves in the beginning with them. Some will say I'm naive to say wealth doesn't matter, but if it starts to feel like it does then you are either too deep in your own head or your in an overly superficial group of friends.

@babe thank you for this!! Some final questions to anyone who thinks they can answer:

- does what you do in high school (friends, partying, activities) ever benefit or hurt your interactions?

- does being international influence anything? (I'm from an English-speaking country but I don't "look" like I'm from there) my country is probably the most similar to the US out of all the others, but I'd still say there's tons of cultural differences when it comes to songs, drinks, sports, social media, clothing style, whatnot

- do guys seriously care about which sorority you're in? (tri delt vs theta vs aphi vs oax vs chi o...)

- do guys here actually have preferences (like the last post mentioned)???? Historically Penn is predominantly white, but I'm wondering if guys are open to all girls from different backgrounds if they're pretty and nice.

- Type 1: do guys from different frats behave similarly (castle, theos, hall,...), and by that, I mean, are there really any nice and accepting ones from the top frats?

- Type 2: if they're super sceney (Gatsby vibe lol), how do I know when I've met one and how do I find them?

- (unrelated topic) which college is the most rigorous when it comes to class and homework? Thinking of pursuing a minor outside of Wharton while rushing for a sorority while going to the gym/pilates, is that manageable?

Thanks so much for whoever has read this and whoever answers!! Excited for the next 4

ofc your high school experience experiences should never limit you. most of us went to a top notch public school or an elite private school so obviously it wasn't one big party for most of us.

being international might actually make you more inclined to be sceney which is typically frats with type 2 guys (like Theos, Castle, Zete, Owls, etc) since the classic frats (As, Phi Delt, Beta etc) tends to be more of a cultural fit thing which most Americans find natural type 1 with hints of type 2 and 3.

yes everyone has preferences when it comes to dating. that said there are hot guys of every race at Penn so youll be fine lol.

top frats tend to have bad rep as to be either overly spendthrift (too type 2) or overly douchey (too type 1). but its only partly true. some nice guys but definitely the nice guys will pretend to be Gatsby or lacrosse douches too.

outside of School of Engineering, any of the core sciences except biology in the College make up the most rigorous/respectable majors. in general though, doing a minor shouldnt be too difficult. dont worry about that until sophomore year

@tysm
Type 2 guys r in the frats Theos, Oz, Castle, Owls
Type 1 guys r in Phi Delt and As.
U may find some type 1 guys in Oz or Castle but you really won’t find any type 2s in As or Phidelt

r the best

By: 1 and 2
by: babe   

id personally say 1 and 3 are the best but im now a senior. i feel like freshmen and sophomores like 2 the most (and fo good reason, they have the best fashion sense and most confident) then start to gravitate to 1 and 3 by senior year.

wealth matters. idk what u guys count as upper middle class but household income should be AT LEAST 400k

By: um

There’s also a 5th type of guy but you won’t really ever be attracted to them, which is the “I’m in a bunch of clubs but don’t have any serious passions Except getting a summer internship” kind of guy (aka the Recruit). These guys could have been type 1 or 3 but honestly just don’t have much appeal. They are probably the second most common after type 1
