I'm 16, and I really haven't been in a real relationship yet. People tell me all the time that I should be a model because I'm "tall and pretty" and blah blah blah. I see guys look at me like they might be interested all the time but NONE do anything. Is this because they are intimidated or what? Having a boyfriend isn't that important to me, but this has been bugging me for quite awhile.
Guys based on your experience with dating and high school what do you think is up?
Wow, if I only knew then what I know now. I would never approach a gorgeous girl in high school for fear of rejection. It was years later that I discovered that those gorgeous girls didn't have many guys approaching them for the same reason.
Yes, your looks make you unapproachable for the majority of guys. If you want to change it then you're going to have to change yourself. If they won't approach you then you must approach them. There's nothing wrong with going after anything or anyone that you want.
Just be prepared for their mouths to stop working if you do. We do tend towards the side of idiocy when talking to a beautiful girl:)
It could be because you are model quality that it makes guys think that you are unattainable romantically. You need to make yourself more approachable. I am good friends with a few girls who are models who complain that everyone always compliments them on their looks and how wonderful they are yet no guys will approach them. You have to act attainable and be more outgoing than most girls and actually show interest in a guy before you can expect him to show any back. Most guys assume that "model types" get snatched up instantly or already have boyfriends. Even when they have been single for years.
They might be. Here is a scenario that happened last year. Me and my two girlfriends walk into a gas station. Now one was 17 average and has fake blonde hair. The other was 18 petite looong dark brown hair and a gorgeous face. Now a guy hit on the blonde and the other wondered what was so wrong with her that no guy hit on her. So I asked a guy. He said that my one friend looked beautiful and intimidating and the other just had a look that she was easy. He couldn't explain it. He said its just a vibe some girls give off. That's why the blonde was hit on. You may be very very pretty but guys might just be too scared to approach you.
Wow this is really helpful. I'm kinda like your pretty girlfriend and I've always been thinking if there's something wrong with me. Or when at certain times I got the idea that guys are simply going for the less intimidating girls I thought I may be deceiving myself. Now I sort of have a proof :) - More than a year ago
I really understand what you're talking about here. I'm always getting told I should model, but I never get approached by guys. When I go out with my friends, I get a lot of looks from guys, and yet it's my friends who get hit on, and I never do. Its so frustrating! I'd just suggest that you smile lots, and show people that you have an approachable personality. If you look friendly and not too much out of their reach, then I'm sure more guys will think about approaching you. Have confidence! :) - More than a year ago
You are at a dinner with her, have just walked into an interview or are at a first date with the best looking guy and there, your top two shirt buttons have snapped, or the pants you were wearing...

I have a little frustration and anger towards social pressures put on all of us to pick a certain type of guy/girl. We go out with someone that does not fit this ideal and we nervously glance around...
