Bad reputation
I need to change my reputation, but how?

Enrolling at a top 5 grad school, I thought I would be surrounded by open-minded, intelligent, mature people. I have found this is not always the case.

For whatever reason, I seem to be thought of as “one of those girls.” I have been told on several occasions that “I am on The list.” The list is the five hottest, most want-to-date women on campus. I suppose I should be flattered, but I am not. Being on this list seems to be a curse—I get random emails from people I have never met asking if want to go out with them; I get calls after bar time from people I have barely talked to; I get flowers left on my doorstep with notes alluding to expectations; at a bar one student who I never talked to literally took off/ripped off my jacket/sweater to reveal by baby tank because he said I needed to show off my nice body; a few guys have come up to me to “warn” me that I need to be real careful around certain individuals or constantly be aware.

I do not know how to change this. And I am not complaining about certain things, it is just that this stereotype that the men here believe I fall into is so untrue. I am really not that gorgeous—I truly believe that you are only as beautiful as your worst personality flaw (and let’s say I have many of those). I don’t feel that it is important to be in the in-crowd and I like to do nerdy things—study, volunteer, etc. I am actually a huge prude with the strictest of moral ethics. Due to these things, I need to change this stereotype or come to terms with the way guys here are going to treat me.

So, do you know how I can work on this? If you do, please let me know. Thank you so very, very much!
