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]

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
