I was talking to the wife of one of my co-workers. She is absolutely gorgeous....a real life Barbie. At the same time, she is completely down-to-earth. She was telling me about how her daughter, age 10, wants to get into cheerleading. She was telling me that she didn't think it was a good idea. When I asked her why, she said, "I was a cheerleader in high school. You would think that would have gotten me dates but it actually ended up hindering me." She said that guys were afraid to approach her since she was a cheerleader and cheerleaders have a stereotype about them. Plus, she was Homecoming Queen and Senior Class President. All the guys thought that she would think she was too good for them. She didn't have her first date until college!
She told me about how she ran into her high school crush in college and she had the guts to tell him that she use to like him. He told her that he wished he had known because he would have been all about dating her.
She's afraid that if she puts her daughter in cheerleading that she will have the same problem getting dates that she once had.
I definitely think there's such a thing as being too beautiful. There's some guys out there who are completely intimidated by that and don't think the girl would ever go for them.
