I've been told that I come off as cold and stuck up, but I'm just quiet and actually pretty insecure! I know this is probably a turnoff to most guys but I don't think I will ever be the social butterfly type. Can I still attract SOME guys even though I am the way I am, or should I just improve my looks so much that my personality doesn't matter?

-I know the last part might sound stupid but I'm really serious!

You don't want to have a guy with you because of looks. Personally I would kill for my girlfriend to be the way you describe. Anyway, some guys should be attracted to that. You can still make yourself known without being a 'social butterfly'. Just hang out with a couple guys that your interested in, and start some friendships. Let the guys of your choice get to know you a little bit more than the average guy would.

You'll eventually find a guy who wants you for you. Wanting someone based on their looks is basically handing your heart to a blind juggling stranger. It may take sometime, but the right guy will come around. Most importantly be yourself, not someone your not. Let someone fall in love with you and your personality, so don't change your looks for anyone.

I get the same thing from time to time. I was really shy in grade school. I really opened up in college and developed what seemed like a brand new personality. There are still times when I'm shy but people tend to think that I am stuck up because of it.

I think they believe that I look at myself better than them, when in all honesty I don't feel that way at all. I accept everyone and always try to get everyone involved. I hate when I see someone left out.

The thing is I have friends that I am close with. New people see me with my friends and think wow this guy is out going. Then when I'm not so open with the new people they think their is something wrong or that I don't like them. That is not the case. I just need a little time to get comfortable around you. So calm down people! The worst is when you meet someone who is just out going with everyone and they REALLY get pissed off when you are a little quieter.

The best thing to do is just smile and say "Hello" to everyone you meet. People love compliments so try to throw a few out to some random people from time to time.

As for your looks. I think if you continue to be quiet and improve your looks you will actually make the situation worse, people might think you are even more stuck up and self involved.

It's like a car. Work on the inside of the car. Clean the engine get it running fast and smooth. Watch the posers pull up in their car with all its bling and try to scare you. You know if you race your car will whoop theirs but, you don't because you're better than that. (or maybe you do I don't know) But after your car is running super fast and super smooth then spend the money on the nice paint job and all the extras.

Work from the inside out and you will be a lot happier and a lot more content with yourself.

No if you are shy, the guy needs to try harder to get to know you. I am a very shy person and I know that come across as snobby but once I know someone I am a fool. Do not worry about changing your looks, worry about finding a guy that will want to get to know the real you.
