Why is it I can never get a guy to like me?

I'm not one of those girls that always has to have a boyfriend, but I'm not gonna lie, I would like to have one. I haven't before, and I don't know why. I'm pretty average, really smart, have hobbies, and a couple of close friends. I'm not exactly a girly girl, but I'm not very tom-boyish either though I'm leaning more to that description. all of my girl friends have had boyfriends before and they've already done way more than I can comprehend. and when I ask them for help they always try and make me act or look or behave a certain way. I don't change a whole lot for guys (I rarely change at all) but I take their advice because I'd just like to have one guy notice me. but nothing I try works. changing certainly doesn't and being myself isn't working out either. so I guess I want to know...what's wrong with me? is it because I'm not like other preppy, happy, skinny, perfect other girls I always see? or because I'm not experienced with anything like this and guys can tell? I'm okay with being alone, but it is a little depressing some days.

the way I dress (jeans; loose shirts; baggy jacket; black shirts). they'll say dress a little more feminine (tighter shirts, fitted jeans, no huge jacket.) or my sense of humor (sarcastic and honest). they want shallow and vapid (some would say flirty).
