VIDEO: This Man Wants A Girl Who Reads

A lot of us ladies are guilty of believing the following phrase, "all men are the same," and think they're more inclined to be attracted to thin girls, pretty girls, girls with big assets.  This next man has set out to dispel those beliefs with the following craftily worded rap. Mark Grist penned these clever lyrics to show that all men are not shallow and many are attracted to an intelligent woman, 'Girls Who Read.' "Some guys prefer arses, some guys prefer tits, and I am not saying that I do not like those bits. But what is more important, what supercedes, is a girl with passion, wit and dreams." This video uploaded by Roundhouse London has received a series of comments, all of which vary in their sentiment. Some agree and others, like YouTube user ozipk, felt something a little different. "Notice how the girl who reads is really hot, title should be "i want a girl that reads, and is still physically attractive" so basically the same as every other man."[sic] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEbF2uhsZk Here are the lyrics: “So, what do you go for in a girl?” He crows, lifting a lager to his lips Gestures where his mate sits Downs his glass “He prefers tits I prefer ass. What do you go for in a girl?” I don’t feel comfortable The air left the room a long time ago All eyes are on me Well, if you must know I want a girl who reads Yeah. Reads. I’m not trying to call you a chauvinist Cos I know you’re not alone in this but… I want a girl who reads Who needs the written word & uses the added vocabulary She gleans from novels and poetry To hold lively conversation In a range of social situations I want a girl who reads Who’s heart bleeds at the words of Graham Greene Or even Heat magazine Who’ll tie back her hair while reading Jane Eyre and goes cover to cover with each waterstones three for two offer but I want a girl who doesn’t stop there I want a girl who reads Who feeds her addiction for fiction With unusual poems and plays That she hunts out in crooked bookshops for days and days and days She’ll sit addicted at breakfast, soaking up the back of the conflakes box And the information she gets from what she reads makes her a total fox Cos she’s interesting & unique & her theories make me go weak at the knees I want a girl who reads A girl who’s eyes will analyse The menu over dinner Who’ll use what she learns to kick my ass in arguments so she always ends the winner But she’ll still be sweet and she’ll still be flirty Cos she loves the classics and the classics are dirty So late at night she’d always have me in a stupor As she paraphrases the raunchier moments from the works of Jilly Cooper See, some guys prefer asses Some prefer tits And I’m not saying that I don’t like those bits But what’s more important What supercedes For me Is a girl a with passion, wit and dreams So I want a girl who reads   Video via YouTube/Roundhouse London
