Can a girl be too hot?

[JessaDee]

I have heard men say they won't approach certain girls because they are too good looking. Is this true, and what is the reasoning behind it?

[Jtmatt]

Maybe I could give you some insight on this. I have a female friend that is amazingly hot and she is fun to hang around, but because she is hot (and she knows this), she tries to use that as a social advantage to basically get any guy she wants. However, because she is very attractive, many, many creepy guys approach her constantly (it doesn't matter about location either). Its amusing at first, but then over time it gets serious and it becomes a danger to hang around those particular girls because of it. Some guys are for real sinister and then I have to be her bodyguard for the duration. I had to tell her that I feel safer by myself than with her most of the time... sad to say.

That is my reason...I don't think others will agree though. But I hope it helps somewhat.

Intimidation could be a reason. Many people suffer from a bit of self esteem issues, so when they see someone classified as 'hot' they may feel they're wasting their time approaching them. Also, the possibility of them already having a boyfriend is in mind quite often. And unfortunately for those among the hot ones that have decent personalities, all to often people with looks don't have to depend on anything else, therefore they don't develop a worthwhile personality; and unless they're out for sex only, no amount of looks can make up for a crap personality.

I feel like a lot of guys are saying that a hot girl will be full of herself- is there a nice grey area between 'hot girl that grew up ugly and doesn't know she's now hot' and 'hot girl that knows she looks good'?

I tend to be shy around hot girls. Mainly because I just think that they are out of my league. I'm 5"6' and not bad looking but I just feel like I don't stand a chance with them. Even though they are nice and act interested in me I always get the feeling that they feel I am just a friend and not "boyfriend material". I always think that I am not being taken seriously... I think that a have to be a 6"3' basketball star to get a hot girl. Even though many hot girls don't think that way... do they?

[JessaDee]

That sucks that you feel that way....Most girls would be ecstatic to find a good guy. We deal with so much crap..lol

[theyareallcrazy]

I suppose. Some people don't like rejection, and if they feel like the don't stand a chance they're not going to bother.

Body language is another possibility.

Personally, I'll talk to anyone. That doesn't mean that I try to talk to EVERYONE.

Hot or not, there's more to it than looks.

Probably true. Most of the reasons have already been stated. I did know a drop dead gorgeous girl in school -- most guys were frightened by her looks. her looks were overwhelming, but she complained to me about not getting dates. Guys just felt there was no chance and it wouldn't be worhth the effort.. It took 3 years for her to get a boyfriend.

[jnesss68]

it depends on the guy. one girl I knew was hollered at every minute, another girl was approached by almost every guy that saw her in college. but I'm pretty sure a lot of guys didn't approach the two girls because they were too attractive. the guys will think they don't have a shot with her.

i just went threw two hot chicks. Everyone that sees them, and they freeze stair at her eyes stuned and stair... And they both had boyfreinds. All they ever want is attention. after they get a boyfreind. And they just lead guys on... Besides who wants to date a girl who makes you jealous because she's in everyones elces eyes an you have to beat uys upp just to keep her...

[KERMlT]

Perhaps he feels that she is way out of her league. There is some merit to the notion that a hot girl has a bad attitude. She is all full of herself and feels like she doesn't have to do anything to keep her man, her looks alone is good enough.

[JessaDee]

That is kinda sad for the pretty girls who are very nice too...I know a few!

[stevo]

Yep. And a lot of guys that think this way (me included) may feel as if she's out of our league, or just wouldn't be interested.

[chiefnavarro]

hhmmmm... when I think of a girl being to hot I think of her looking too high maintenance and to me its just not appealing.
