Some girls will do anything to get a guy's attention. You know: skimpy skirts, bare-all tops and mounds of make-up. But do these over-the-top tactics work? We asked the fivesome of MTV's mockumentary 2ge+her to spill the beans and found out that big boobs aren't all they're cracked up to be and there's still nothing cooler than self confidence.

What do you think of girls who wear tight, sexy clothes?

Noah if the girl has self confidence to pull it off i see nothing wrong with it.
Alex I'd think she was hot. Maybe I'd go on a date with her, but I wouldn't want a relationship with a girl like that.
Kevin Really? I like it.
Noah Yeah, me, too, dude.
Kevin If the girl has a really good body, I see nothing wrong with her showing it off. But I don't like it when a girl wears that stuff and then she's like, "What are you looking at?" She should know she's gonna get looks.
Michael Yeah. If you don't want us to notice you, then don't wear it.
Alex Exactly. You can tell a lot by a person's clothes.

Do you mind when girls wear lots of makeup?

Noah I don't see anything wrong with it. We all have our daily rituals for vanity's sake.
Alex Yeah, I brush my teeth in the shower, for instance.
Noah Who cares if girls put on a little makeup because it makes them feel better about themselves? It's cool as long as they don't go overboard.
Alex If I can see her before she puts on the makeup, she can wear whatever she wants.
Noah Once i had a girlfriend who wouldn't let me see her without her makeup on. It was very sad, because she felt like she couldn't be seen without it. That's when it becomes a problem.

What about fake boobs?

Kevin Love them.
Evan I don't judge. These issues are purely visual, and looks can be deceiving.
Noah If a girl is self conscious about having a flat chest and if fake boobs give her a sense of confidence, then more power to her.
Alex Amen!
Noah I run so I don't get fat, and that gives me confidence. To me, it's the exact same thing as a girl getting implants.

So if a girl is insecure about her body, it's okay for her to surgically alter it?

Alex Don't most girls do it for that reason?
Noah Yes-but she shouldn't do it just to please other people.
Kevin If a girl gets implants just because she doesn't like her body, then I think that's bad. There's a lot of pressure for girls to be skinny and have big boobs-all they have to do is open a magazine or watch their favorite TV show and that's all they see.
Evan The media has a huge influence over how a girl's self-image is developed. As long as there is a demand to see perfect-looking women, there will be women out there doing anything to look perfect.

What would you think of a girl who felt very insecure about her body?

Alex She wouldn't be my girlfriend.
Kevin Isn't that a little harsh?
Noah Yeah, come on-everyone is insecure. I would sit down with her and point out everything good about her so she would stop focusing on what's wrong, especially if she thought she had to be skinny. Some girls think they should have no fat on their body, but it's not healthy to be that skinny.
Kevin After you go out with a girl for awhile, her body doesn't matter anyway. All of that goes away. It's what's on the inside that really counts.

How do you feel about girls who are really self-conscious about what they eat?

Michael This is when it bothers me: When we're eating lunch at school and a skinny girl goes, "Oh, I'm only going to eat a salad because I'm fat." How do you think the person beside her who is overweight with the hot dog in her hand feels after hearing that.
Noah Oh, c'mon...salad is food. Let a girl order what she wants.
Michael But you have to eat some meat. Eat a burger.
Noah That's not true.
Kevin Stop arguing over a friggin' salad.
Michael It just bothers me when somebody who looks great thinks she needs to lose weight.

What else could a girl do to turn you off?

Noah Constantly talking about physical appearances and being obsessed with their looks turns me off
Kevin I dated someone who talked about her hair all day long. I just sat there and listened. There was nothing you could do to help her.
Alex A girl has to have a sense of humor and be outgoing and independent. Any person without those qualities is kind of a turnoff.
Michael I can't stand people who complain about themselves all the time.
Alex Michael's never had a girlfriend.
Michael Yes, i have. I'm 15, not 2! Anyway, I hate it when girls dig for compliments, like "Does this make me look fat?" They're expecting you to say, "No, you look wonderful." Argh.
Evan A turnoff for me is somebody who's not nice to other people. It's uncomfortable when someone I'm with is unnecessarily rude.

Now that you're big stars, how do you feel about girls who throw themselves at you?

Alex I find it obnoxious, but we have fun with it.
Evan It's fun; it's hilarious. but its 10, 15 minutes-it's not reality.
Noah It's fun, but that's not the kind of girl I would date. I'd always be wondering if she's with me because of what I do or because she likes me.
Michael I can see right through a phony person.
Noah Totally. Me too.
Michael You've got to be real because people will generally know you're a phony. On the other hand, you might meet a fan who acts all giggly and yet, once you get to know her, you might find out she's just an ordinary person. She might even turn out to be the girl of your dreams. Who knows?

What makes a girl real?

Michael You don't have to skip the makeup and fake nails to be real. It's more than visual. You just have to be yourself.
Kevin I think being real means being honest. So anyone who is honest with themselves and others is real.
Evan I agree with Kevin on that one.

Is someone like Britney Spears real?

Noah She's and extremely nice person. I've met her twice, and she was nice both times. She's really down-to-earth. I think that if you can be like Britney, that's great, She deserves everything she has.
Alex None of us knows her well enough to make a judgment like that. Five minutes with a person does not make a difference.
Michael People in this business who are like Britney might wear all those flashy outfits and makeup, but that's all just on the outside. As long as they stay grounded and don't change who they are inside, that makes them real.
