This isn't really an issue of gender, but of age. Sure, young gals date some shiiiiiiiity dudes. Happens all the time. And in the mean while, a lot of us are left in the lurch.
BUT WAIT! The door swings both ways. You sir (yes you, the original poster) will soon head off to the college and meet two kinds of women, and after doing so, you'll probably cause a fair number of young ladies to opine in a similar fashion to yourself at this moment. Just replace the term "jerk" with "whore." You'll be surrounded by more genuinely interesting and--heaven help them--interested women your own age than anyone has a right to...as well as their vapid counterparts, who were some of the very ones dating jerks in high school. Now, these are the slightly wiser of the mistaken women that made it into degree granting institutions, so they'll have wised up to the idea that they do not like being used (or in some instances, the looming threat of date rape) and that will spur them toward you as an alternative. Sadly, they still lack a great deal of substance which they could have cultivated, but didn't because they were busy trying to reconcile their feelings of self-hatred with their thirst for the cock, both of which they acquired from one of the fore mentioned "jerks."
Of course, the other women there will be...hmm...how to put this without it sounding horrid.... Well, female versions of yourself. Those that were a little too {fill in the blank} or not quite {pick another blank} enough for notice in high school. While they weren't tied up with assholes--even though the "Twilight" series has taught us how desperately they wanted to be--they were cultivating a number of interests WHICH YOU MAY VERY WELL HAVE IN COMMON.
Let that soak in a moment.
Now, as for why your contemporaries at the high school aren't after you just yet, there have been a number of perfectly valid theories posited so far, but I'm gonna' have to stick with youth. We all do fairly stupid things when we're young. Surviving them's challenging. They give us interesting stories to tell later. We find the limits of our abilities in every conceivable way by lasting through our own retardation. What better time to commit such acts than when we're too young to know any better? Hell, even the authorities wipe out your file at 18 for most things, 'cause they recognize that most people are going to learn a few lessons and move on with being decent non-sociopaths.
I myself? When I was your age, I didn't care much for sneaking around to raid somebody's liquor cabinet. Drugs weren't anything that I was interested in. And while it would have been nice for someone to want to touch me, I couldn't really manage to pin some nice chick down either...in spite of the fact that I spent my weekends fighting anyone who'd take the time to step outside, and a couple that wouldn't. Everyone knew that I was a wandering bludgeon that knocked out people's teeth for fun and profit at my high school. In short, I was the bad boy that professionally bad men sent after wannabe bad boys, and I still couldn't get my hands on anyone decent, for two reasons: I had standards, and the sad little girls that came after me clearly did not. Perhaps I'm just lucky to have come from a family full of strong women. I don't know what gave me the clarity of vision to say no to silly cooze and hold off for someone with the common sense God deigned to give a turnip. I can say, however, the wait's worth it.
In the mean time, the smartest thing you can do about all this is stop caring. Seriously. Don't do it to seem cool so that chicks will be attracted to your blasé, emo attitude. Do it to save your sanity. Know that your time spent doing something that genuinely interests you is not time wasted. It will give you something to discuss in the future with Miss Worthadamn. Hold your head up high to those that talk of their weekend exploits with dumb broads. Tell them what you did! Have fun with it. 'Cause I promise, five years later when you're talking to the same people, what you discussed in high school will not have led to the burning sensation they experience when they use the restroom.
