They're pickier because they're forced to be. They have guys throwing themselves at them who have really poor manners or are uninventive in their approach - something that really smacks of insincerity or sloppiness. They've dealt with crap that not even guys would accept. Then, quite often, they have guys that come up to them and have the sheer audacity expect the girl to throw themselves at him. Then when the girl doesn't respond like they want, they have this self-entitlement crap going on like, hey, you get approached by douchebags all the time and when you finally meet a super nice guy like me how come you don't appreciate it? They're really condescending about it and make remarks that would make your eyebrows go? Seriously, I wish guys could be on the receiving end of some of this stuff. It really makes the girl hesitant to pick anyone, because you don't know who can be trusted or who's really worth pursuing. Nothing good comes easy, and it's like sorting through cheesy smiling salesmen and scammers.
Also, people are intimidate by their looks and stereotype that the hotter you are the worse of a person you must be (unless you're smiling 100% of the time and giving in to all sloppy advances. Yeah she's awesome she'll never say no to anything, hehe). They fear the pain of falling on their ego from a rejection of that height.
The hot girls can't hide their inner emotions and insecurities - Lots of guys (i. e. the majority) that approach confidently often have nothing to lose. It's a bet. It's a laugh. If it doesn't work just give her the finger or call her some name. This constant barrage of treatment causes the girls to put off a subconscious negativity, their moods showing through on their face, especially on a day when they're not feeling so confident and drop gorgeous like everyone assumes. i. e. not smiling. This makes them look even less approachable. Sometimes it's just a defensive mechanism because people gawk rudely at you, i public
They have negative images projected on them - they're obviously really flirty, flaky and slutty and men don't feel like dealing with a Kardashian, high maintenance chick. When it comes to show some courage and initiative in approaching the guys give themselves these excuses, overthinking it, completely condemning the girl mentally before they bother approaching.
Attractive girls are told they deserve better so many hold off as long as they can, but many just give up and pick anything to stave off the loneliness.32 Reply

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI kind of understand this. I have been told that i'm really pretty and have a great personality. I was feeling frustrated that I was single for so long even though all my friends (guys and girls) constantly tell me i'm a catch and have a great personality and assume i can have whatever guy I want. But its not true. I have so much trouble approaching boys and being myself, because most of the time i feel intimidated. But what I'm slowly coming to realise is that I am just extremely picky and have very high standards (not just looks, and def not about money) because I only want to date quality humans who I am also sexually attracted to. Not one or the other. That is really the reason i've been single for so long because i'm sometimes feel like i'm chasing after unicorns. But at the same time, I would be disrespectful to myself to lower my standards. The few times I have, I did not feel so great afterwards.
by the way I really hate all the responses some of the others have posted, that automatically assume you are an up-yourself bitch with no personality. I think you can be confident in yourself and know you are pretty or have other great qualities, while still being down to earth and grounded in reality. It's just having a good level of self esteem, and doesn't automatically mean you're arrogant.164 Reply- +1 y

Asker+1 yI really appreciate this response. I realized that I didn't word my question well after seeing all the different responses (I wasn't expecting to get so many), but I'm thankful you understood what I was trying to say
Damn everyone is giving you a hard time. You don't have to call yourself a dumb fuck to be not arrogant. A person can recognize she/he's attractive without being arrogant. I also know I'm a little bit more attractive for most people than Honey Boo boo's mom and she's also married.
Okay so, maybe you don't interact enough with guys. You might not be approachable. Some people think that "I just walked in the park and a guy asked me out and we got married now" is a situation that happens often. It doesn't. Most people get together through mixed friend groups, sports etc. So just being pretty and a nice person isn't enough, because guys are super scared to ask girls out and don't do that to every person they just find attractive. There has to be a bond or a situation.
Maybe guys don't see you or your friends as girlfriend material. Here comes the approachable part again. You have to slightly flirt, but not too much and have some special qualities.
Maybe you never ask a guy out. If you really want something. You should go over there like a real powerwoman and get it.
I hope I helped you slightly.31 Reply
Really,? Maybe it's just perspective. The people I see and know that are attractive usually have a boy friend or several guy friends. Everyone is pretty though and has several attractive points that their significant other likes wether it really be how " pretty " they are or not. Personality can override beauty at times, so overall I say it depends or it's how you view things. Just because you're pretty and single doesn't mean that that's a bad thing. If you're talking solely about you and your group of friends it's maybe that just they + you haven't found the right one yet, or haven't really looked into dating etc. Sorry I don't know how to explain lel. The people you surround yourself w/ can influence what you think as well. Maybe it's just a coincidence that you and your friends have been single for awhile. Are you also thinking for example that like " Why are ugly girls taken? " because that's not true either? It's so hard to answer this and i don't know why. Hope this kind of helps

Anonymous(25-29)+1 y12. She’s Content with Herself.
These days it’s pretty easy for girls to get an education, make their own money, and stay independent, so often times a man isn’t needed. A girl who makes her own money, has a great family, and some awesome friends to spend time with is happy with herself and her surroundings and isn’t interested in wasting time with a man. Independent girls often scare guys because meeting someone so well put together often gets them thinking about commitment and boys (not men) don’t like to commit.
11. She Wants Something Meaningful.
Nowadays women have “no strings attached” intimacy almost as often as men do, and why not, it is perfectly normal -as long as they are being safe. Pretty girls are constantly being hit on so they have options and can be choosy. They’re perfectly happy being single and enjoying random hookups, that is until the right one comes along.
10. She’s Not Interested in Wasting Time.
Pretty girls aren’t interested in meaningless dating because often times they don’t have the time for someone they can’t see themselves with long-term. They are picky and would rather spend that time pampering and bettering themselves rather than being out on some mediocre date. Of course if she finds a keeper she’s more than willing to make time for him in her life.
9. Personality for Days.
Pretty girls often come with kick-ass personalities and self-assurance, both qualities men usually find threatening. They’re not the type that are going to sit back and let a man handle things, and this can make some guys feel inadequate. A self-assured woman knows what she wants and isn’t going to shy away from speaking her mind and telling her man what she deserves.
8. Friends Come First.
Pretty girls don’t require the time of a man because they’re constantly surrounded by guys who want to spend time with them. Since there’s never a shortage of men wanting their attention these girls aren’t so keen on spending all their free time with the first guy that comes along. They’re dedicated to their friends and the men in their lives will just have to wait patiently for their turn.
7. Not the Desperate Type.
With men constantly offering pretty girls anything their little hearts desire these girls know they can be picky. They aren’t desperate to find a man to spend their time with and have the luxury of options on their side. They don’t mind staying single and waiting for the right one to come along.27 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 y6. Finding a Man Isn’t a Priority.
Nice girls are usually more inclined to go out with a man even if the chemistry is lacking because they believe it takes time to fall in love. Pretty girls are not as excited about dating a man that doesn’t make them weak in the knees so they wait for Mr. Perfect while spending their time bettering themselves.
5. Wild at Heart.
Often times they’re content being single because they like their freedom and don’t seem to like compromise. They aren’t tamed easily and are more interested in the unknown than routine. Relationships don’t interest these girls because they want to be able to do whatever they please and not answer to anyone else.
4. They Don’t Settle.
Even when they’re absolutely crazy about a guy, they won’t stay unless he treats her right. They know there are men out there that are willing to give them whatever it is they desire, therefore, if the man in her life can’t see just how amazing she is, she’ll be out the door super quick.
Opinion Owner+1 y3. Society Doesn’t Make the Rules.
Girls are taught from a young age that finding a man and having a family is the most important accomplishment in her life and they just don’t believe this to be true. There’s a lot out there they want to be a part of and finding a man to spend the rest of her life with may not be so high on her list of to do’s. She makes her own rules and lives the way she wants to rather than being told what is and isn’t appropriate.
2. Men are Intimidated.
Guys can spot a confident girl from miles away and it makes them want to run for cover. Even if she exchanges numbers he’ll assume she’s just going to remove it from her phone the minute he’s out of sight. He’s not even sure he’s in the same playing field as her. Rejection can crush a man’s ego and he’ll avoid any situation that leaves him vulnerable to that type of a blow.
Opinion Owner+1 y1. She’s Already Taken.
This is probably the first thing that pops into a man’s head when he spots a beautiful girl he can’t keep his eyes off of. Even if they’re out and about with their girlfriends men will assume it’s just a girls night and won’t dare to interrupt. The more confident a girl is the more a man will assume she’s taken because she doesn’t even bother scanning the room for available bachelors. She’s happy being single and isn’t really looking!

You learned all this blogging?
Opinion Owner+1 y@Highlander984
Yeah. I learned Blogging because I believe that books are mirror of soul and we can write blogs when we have hobby of reading. 😊
Have you done anything to rectify that? I mean not knowing what you and your friends look like, you might not actually be that attractive. But assuming you are attractive, that would also mean that the average guy is going to be less willing to approach you, because he might think you are out of his league, lack the courage or simply assume that he'd fail, so he doesn't do it. This means that the amount of guys who approach you will be lower than for the less attractive girls. This is increased if you tend to stick to being in a group with your friends, do something that makes you look busy like being on your phone or otherwise seem unfriendly or occupied. And only after all that which has probably dropped a lot guys already, we got to the point where the guy who approaches you has to be up to your standards, which depending on what they are, might also drop a lot of guys off. Assuming high standards here, that would mean only the confident and attractive guys and few of the average guys who manage to rally the courage to approach you have a chance. But since confident and attractive guys have a lot of choices other than you and your friends already, on account of being generally desirable for most women, that means that the number of guys in the pool you and your friends can pick from is going to be a lot smaller than for a girl who might be less attractive, but is more open and welcoming in her behavior and looks. Especially more so if she is willing to be the one making the approach aswell.

@JustinTheGreat It is a bit surprising! :)
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yHere's the honest truth, and I am not saying you are like this, so please DON'T take offense.
Without trying to sound like some sort of player, I will say that I have dated a bunch of different women. I currently have a girlfriend, however, before her, I would go on a date with a new girl every single week. I did that for about a year.
I had no problem meeting women, but I did have a problem keeping them around. Honestly, I was not the problem... the women were the problem.
Pretty women are very choosy and superficial. I am 5'10' and a majority of the women I met were between 5'3" to 5'5". When they would ask my height on the date, I would tell me them I am 5'10". Women would tell me that I was a nice guy and it was a nice date, but they want men who are 6 feet or taller.
Pretty women expect way more out of men. Last year, I had a rough patch. My job got closed down, so I was out of work for a couple months and moved back home temporarily. When I would tell women my situation, they would instantly shut me down. They didn't want to date a guy who lived at home (even though I moved out 2 months later). I had everything else minus my own place. It's not like the girl is going to come home with me after a couple dates, so it really shouldn't have mattered.
Pretty women always blame men for everything. I cannot tell you how many times on social media I see women blaming men for everything and talking shit about men. They constantly say men are lame, men are not real men, men don't know what they want, men this... men that... men, men, men, men, men. Fact of the matter is, if you are single, it's because you make yourself single.
Here's a video that basically demonstrates how pretty women act today: Ignore the title of this video... this video describes a lot of pretty women these days:
www.worldstarhiphop.com/.../video.php13 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 yBasically, if you are single, it's your fault and you need to take responsibility for it. You can't blame someone just because you are single. I am not talking about you, I am just talking about people in general.
Women need to learn to take action, just like men. If you see someone you are interested, go up to the person and say "hi". Strike up some sort of conversation. It doesn't make you a slut for saying hi to someone. IF you don't take action, you're always going to be approached by men you are not interested in.
Opinion Owner+1 yOn top of that, a lot of women have the "I don't need a man" attitude and often walk around with the "bitch face" look. In addition to that, women make it harder for men to approach, because women are ALWAYS in groups with their friends. It's never a good idea for a man to approach a woman when she is in a group. If the girl doesn't shut the guy down, the friends will shut him down instantly or they will use the excuse, "I'm not here for guys, I'm here to have fun with my girls".
Like I said... if you want a man... take action.- +1 y
valid points, my friend! I personally haven't dated anyone taller than 5'10 and Im 5'6 lol but I know certain women have higher height standards (pun not intended). But in general it would be the standards a woman has set that is holding her back from a relationship, which, in and of itself, standards are good and welcome but you can't blame the world for your standards and the time it takes to find someone who meets them. And it is a lot in how approachable you appear. I have days where I am busy, and stressed and probably have a resting bitch face. Those days, no one is likely to approach me. In general though, I am smiling, have open body language and am very polite. Groups never help lower the intimidation level either. And you can't have a fear of being single, you need to enjoy your life and also have the confidence to know you can ask men out too.
Many many reasons.
1. It could be that you hang out with the 'popular' crowd. That means that the pool of people who will ask you out are from the popular crowd. This is because if a guy thinks that your friends will reject him, then you'd have to choose between your friends and him, who you barely know.
Same goes for activities. If you like to go out and party, then you will only have the party guys to choose from.
2. You want something serious. Ties in to #1 also. Party and popular guys usually don't want something serious (at that stage of their life, if at all.) So, if that's the pool of applicants, you won't find anyone.
Also, if you push for something serious too fast, it can come off as clingy to normal guys. They may be willing to be serious, but not yet. Age also factors into that. Being religious will make guys assume you are looking for something serious, even if you aren't.
3. You don't go out and only hang with your friends. Well, you are never going to find anyone unless you put yourself in a position to be approached.
4. You sit back and wait for guys to come to you.
Think about this, the handsome eligible guys will have girls, usually average, hitting on them. This is because average girls assume they have to to compete with you.
But you don't flirt. Why would the guy stop his nice conversation with an average girl to flirt with a hot one? (Unless he was only interested in sex, of course.)
So, you need to approach and flirt also. Again, though, approach the ones that look like they want a girlfriend.
5. Attractiveness is subjective.
6. See 5.50 Reply
+1 yI've read the most voted answer and besides that one, there are some other things I would like to point as possible options:
-guys that you might like, see you as out of their league and don't even try.
-some guys try, but since you don't like them back, you turn them down.
-plus, you assume that a good looking girl with great friendly attitude already has someone.
Listen to people speaking to you (when you go to the grocery store, when you see the dentist, when you go to the hairdresser, so on), they will say things that imply they believe you have someone.
-usually better looking, more confidence for the most part, easy going and friendly in general, having ease in talking with people. So though you might try to show interest in a guy and you think you are flirting, he might simply see you as being friendly just like you are with the rest of the people.
Noticed that a lot of girls that are "hotties" and not at all "divas" when it comes to behaviour are single, so it might have something to do with them being too good looking for their own sake.
This girl was hitting on me for months and though I liked her, I was thinking she has someone. Until a few months later, where I simply had a revelation, one of those moments where you smack yourself over the face when you realize. :)41 Reply- +1 y
Its true that people just assume people have boyfriends. I have had people say this to me numerous times. I think its still very much in a woman's hands though if she wants a guy to approach her. I think when talking to people I can make them feel very comfortable around me and they know I wouldn't intentionally be harsh or bruise their ego. I really think its important though to not be fearful of being single/alone and yet still being open to others and willing to put in some effort yourself. I've come upon this new revelation that I can ask guys out if I so please. They have the choice to say no, but that doesn't mean I can't try.
+1 yThere are so many possibilities. I'll list a few. Please bear in mind that guys are not girls. Our VALUES are different than yours.
1 you may be over estimating your attractiveness. Our family and friends often praise us in an attempt to bolster our self esteem. This gives us an inaccurate view of our attractiveness.
2 you may be over estimating the value of your attractiveness. You may be exactly as attractive as you think you are, but fail to realize that attractiveness is not quite as important as you think it is.
3 you may be fooled into thinking that your grooming, by which I mean clothes, hairstyles, makeup, etc. Have increased your attractiveness. Most men can see through these things and have very little attraction to the facade.
4 your estimation of the VALUE of your *quality* may be off. While having an educated wife is nice, very few men place a high value on it in terms of relationships.
5 you may be underestimating the value of the girls you feel are of lower quality than you.42 Reply- +1 y
If a girl is attractive she probably had a tough time with female friends and family who due to jealousy probably downplayed her attractiveness, which decreases her view of her own attractiveness and probably makes her even more attractive to guys. Therefore, if a girl thinks she is attractive (ie. as told by family and friends who she still has good relations with) then it is likely she isn't.
- +1 y
@vyvyn i can understand friends, and some family. but why would your own mother lie to you? i mean, my friends said i wasn't anything special. but guys used to call me beautiful more than a few times. and so did my mom. i don't think a mom would have a reason to be jealous of her daughter (s)
+1 yThe fact that you view other girls as less "quality" is probably a reason why you're still single.
Although to answer your question, a lot of times, very pretty women are stereotyped to be quite dumb because a lot of the time they focus so much on their makeup, their fashion, their body shape etc. They spend so much time on those things they don't spend time learning about how to be interesting. A guy will see a pretty girl and that makes him instantly attracted (obviously) however unless you're actually interesting and knowledgable about things where you can have deep conversations, he will just view you as a piece of meat.
"Nice guys" would rather be with someone who is interesting and fun instead of a beautiful but boring Girl.
So if you want my advice, become more interesting! Learn how to get into a really deep conversation, develop some opinions that you can debate about with the guy. Develop hobbies/ projects (not gym) that you can do with the guy you're seeing 😊 Make sure you make the guy know that you're not just a pretty face, otherwise he will only see you as that23 Reply- +1 y
Gym is fine dude. It shows she cares about staying healthy and won't get fat and unattractive in a hurry. Though if it's too hardcore, sure some guys might not like that, same as girls if a guy is always working out and not spending time with his girl.

Yes by the "(Not gym)" part of my reply, I did mean that to be spending way too much time at the gym. Of course, going to gym to be healthy/lose weight is fine... but when gym becomes an obsession, then it becomes a horrible relationship

"Make sure you make the guy know that you're not just a pretty face, otherwise he will only see you as that". - Basically the reason why if it weren't for my achievements at school no one would ever take me seriously and treat me worst than what I had to deal with. I don't exactly have friends and I definitely don't consider the family I was born into family.
+1 yA lot of girls describe themselves as "attractive" because of all the positive attention they get through society whereas you'll notice a lot of guys will describe themselves as "average" or "I look OK, I guess" and this is one of the differences between men and women. Men tend to be more modest about themselves and are put off by women who also lack that modesty.
Girls who are conventionally attractive have been catered to and pampered her entire life most likely, so when guys see a girl who is attractive they most likely assume she is either already in a relationship or that she will be too much work. Guys don't really have much to offer an attractive female that other people have or already tried to. The only reason an attractive girl would be single is because she wants to be, as if you probably approached men yourself, you would find yourself dating or would find that you aren't as "down to earth" as you actually think you are. The dating scene is stressful for those of us who have to approach, so mostly men, and you wouldn't really understand the difficulty in approaching somebody really attractive until you've had to do it yourself. Put yourself in a guy's shoes and you'll figure it out.11 Reply
+1 yBecause men in general have low self-esteem. the things that we want in life most of us don't really go after. It's funny because as soon as you do as long you realize that you have the power and ability to obtain anything it is that you want. attractive women don't get picked up on more because of two things. one being that they're hard to approach as a man with low self-esteem or a man who feels like they have nothing to offer them and two they feel as if these women are extremely experienced with all sorts of men and that they can possibly measure up to all of them so there would have to be somebody out there that was better than them which may or may not be true. at the end of the day the reason why you and your friends are actually single is not because of the men in their low self-esteem but because of the fact that there is a pack of you guys and it makes it hard for any man to approach anyone of you because of the fear that all of your friends will tear him down and you probably would because that's generally how women react to Amanda pressuring one of their friends in a group setting.

+1 yI don't think it has anything to do with how attractive you are. It's just becoming harder and harder to find people who aren't too emotionally damaged or caught up on someone else even if they're bad or toxic for them. Also , just because you see a girl as not as attractive to you, does not make her of any less quality. Having a negative outlook on other women is an ugly trait personality wise and will not be attractive to a decent guy. The other girl may very well not be as pretty as you. Maybe in her boyfriend's eyes, she's the most beautiful girl in the world. Relationships don't get by on looks. Looks fade eventually. There naturally has to be a physical attraction of some sort, but sometimes certain things are overlooked when someone possesses everything the other person is looking for within a partner. Personality is a big factor in how far a relationship will go with someone. Most men of decent nature do not want a shallow girl with a negativity towards others. You should never compare yourself with others either. This is a bad habit most people have. Just do your best to be a good person and one day , the right guy will take notice of you.

I found that I have also seen the mirror of this theory in women where I have dated beautiful women and my relationship worked well but I've dated unattractive women that I thought we're beautiful on the inside and they were constantly suspicious or jealous that I was cheating on them because they had no self-esteem or didn't feel that they could keep me. Keeping me has nothing to do with somebody else's actions I am trustworthy and sometimes even prude because I have morals

i like the fact that there is a guy who does not think beauty automatically means stupid, low morals, unintelligent, shallow, and conceited. i find that a lot of naturally beautiful girls are not too shallow, and most don't even know they are beautiful. the ones who like to put on a show may not even be naturally very beautiful. they may just know how to apply a lot of makeup.
Greetings to you. Thanks for the question. From my own perceptive the understanding of beauty and what you find attractive to most men is of essence cos people see it as a criteria to end up in a better/serious relationship. Beauty has to do with a physical appearance which can be altered (Undergo Change). That is to say every man has what he looks our from a woman and if a relationship is beauty based what happens when the beauty is lost, would there be a need for the relationship. So to say most men don't really lookout for the most beautiful in appearance but most beautiful in heart and character (Importantly). You don't need to be Ugly to be that only be of your real self and groom your character to be of a nice one. You can go a long way as just a relationship than more time being wasted on Making up the beauty. The question should be what really attracts this men to this women you see yourself better than? And note and be advised that all woman are equal but have there different uniqueness. so try to know your uniqueness and how well does it seem to a man and how better you can be. The watched word here is " Be Yourself and Work on you inward self" You would always end up in a good relationship. Thanks for reading through and always feel free to contact me for me guide. Cheers!

+1 yThe simple fact that you judge you and your friends superior to these “…less attractive or less "quality"..” women that are attached in relationships tells it all. Guys that are serious enough to get attached, just don’t want to put up with that kind of bullshit associated with narcissism, self-absorbed, high maintenance. You will have to get over the love affair with yourself before you can have one with a man.

"girls who have no goals" Again you place yourself above these girls without factual basis-how do you know they don’t have any goals-maybe some want to be housewives- that’s a goal. If you continue to place yourself above people, that will shine through and is very undesirable.
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yFor one, being attractive or "quality" doesn't entitle you to a boyfriend. It almost like when guys ask, "Why do assholes get all the girls, but I don't? I'm a nice guy." So what if your attractive? Yeah, you might meet some guy's basic criteria for dating, but you say nothing as to whether or not you treat people well, are easy to get along with, approachable, and the endless list of other traits guys are looking for. For all we know, you have the temperament of a wet cat and have nothing interesting to say. Also, you seem to imply that you and your group of friends deserve to be in relationships more than these "less "quality"" people, while basing that solely on looks. That is far from the "down to earth" personality you claim to have, and actually comes off as pretentious.

+1 yPretty girls want to have a pretty guy, now find a pretty guy which still hasn't got a relationship or is an arsehole. Because usually, guys who know they're pretty have a very high ego and think they can have every girl on this planet. In 90% of cases they are fuckboys. And: many guys see prettiness as something unreachable, they think they can't come near you because they're gonna get rejected, but they forget that pretty isn't everything and don't even try out of fear. I'm friends with some guys who are attractive but just too shy to ask a pretty girl out and I think it's bad that many men nowadays just can't handle taking the first step towards a girl anymore.

But, generally speaking, science says that attractive men and women have it tough to an extent, because people are afraid of getting rejected by them... people value beauty very highly, so much so, they'd rather date someone who presents a less risky chance of being cheated on... made feel insecure about their looks... that being said... you are still in the same boat as everyone else, in that you're not special nor entitled to your dream relationship. It's up to you to take control of your life, so if you want to get into your ideal relationship, get out there, be open to new opportunities and try.

+1 yMaybe there's something about your personality that turns guys off. Most quality men are able to see past looks. I think I'm pretty, and I know that the main reasons why I'm single are because I'm a homebody and I have no clue when I'm being flirted with.

+1 yOftentimes pretty girls tend to rate themselves as being way more pretty than they actually are. No offense. Also "down to earth" and "friendly" might come across as true among your female friends but you might be completely crass with males.
Lastly and I think the biggest one is that my friend who is really pretty overvalues herself. She honestly doesn't have all that much to offer but expects a rich guy to commit to her just because she's pretty. She has never had a relationship longer than 5 months and she's 27... so70 Reply
+1 yMost of pretty girls I know are already taken. And I've got impression that they never were single more than 24 hours, there was always some guy around them. But they are funny and interesting, intelligent girls, beauty is not everything they have to offer its just a bonus to their great personalities.
I do know some pretty single girls, but they a are quite shallow, arrogant and focus on themselves. They think they deserve best (read - expensive), because they better than everyone. They can't built a steady relationship cuz they are not able to love truly anybody else than themselves.60 Reply
+1 y1. Men are intimidating by beautiful women and they think they will become instantly rejected cause they feel like they are not on the same level as her. So they go for average looking women cause they feel she's a lot safer to approach and that rejection won't happen as much or feel as harsh.
2. People assume that attractive women are stuck up, That they are so beautiful and can choose any kind of man that is out there that's not them. They see confidence in yourself as being conceited and not just loving yourself.40 Replyit could be your standards are way too high. Maybe your unaproachable? what do the guys your attracted to look like? how high does looks rate? very important or not so much? if I tried to strike up a conversation with you, would you talk to me and give me a chance? also looks ate not everything.
I have dated knock outs ten plus.
but there personalities were ugly or like the one girl. she came on to me. we went to a party and all she did was talk about herself. she was saying , look those people keep looking over here. I bet they think I'm a model. she just kept stroking her own ego. it did not matter how how she was. she wanted to screw that night. I took her straight home after the party.
so, are you or any of your hot friends any of the above?30 Reply
+1 yInfact, my experience is just the opposite of yours. I've come across more number of pretty gals having boyfriend as to less pretty ones. I guess this is how the law of nature works too. High maintenance, as is generally thought to be an attribute of the pretty ones, is a myth. Infact, it's mostly the attribute of gals who are more used to high life or kinda aspire for it. In nutshell, pretty ones stand higher chance of getting into relationship, unless there is some with their traits. Cheers. 😇💕

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI think the answers on here are a bit harsh. But I think it's because 1 guys think you're taken. And 2 because they're probably intimidated.
Also if you're looking for guys to be your boyfriends, don't look. Instead don't focus on trying to find a boyfriend but do something that you like to do (hike, sports, paint etc.) or focus on your career and by doing that you'll find someone who'll have the same interests as you.90 Reply
+1 yfor one, your post doesn't add up to you asking a question about yourself, but it could be.
most people can figure out why they are single and when asked why they are single they have logical reasons as to why they are single, some don't know, some don't care.
if you live on planet Earth you'd probably notice at some point in time models, sports players, celebrities, hot ass regular people date and get married and also the same varieties are single, and the same varieties that are considered ugly are also single or dating/married.
attractive people and ugly people of all types are single and are in relationships.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yMy mom always said it was because guys were afraid of approaching beautiful women in fears of being rejected, and how that's why guys opt for less appealing girls because those girls have lower expectations of guys. My Dad always said it was because less appealing girls tend to be more the marriage type, and are more likely better are cooking, cleaning, etc. and they have more personality, and how the prettier ones don't feel the need to try to have one since they think their appearance makes up for it.
But it really could just be that you sound like an arrogant little bitch.72 Reply

did you just say the b word?
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yOf course I can't tell you exactly why u aren't in a relationship b/c I don't know you, but one thing that those girls might be doing that you are not is separating themselves from their friends and making themselves actually approachable to guys. It's hard enough for a guy to go up to a hot girl, it's near impossible to do that when she is also surrounded by hot friends. Not sure if this applies to you, but since you said "me and my friends" I thought I'd mention this common mistake women dating have. Plus those women who you seem to think are uglier than you are probably overly outgoing and friendly, which naturally puts them in a place to date a lot of guys.

I agree with this
Opinion Owner+1 yI just wanted to add on to my post, and say that I've noticed you've gotten a lot of hate for your question, and I feel sorry for you because you probably didn't mean to come off as rude. However, my problem is not that you said you and your friends are pretty attractive and down to earth, what puts me off is the fact that you went on to say other girls where uglier than you guys. Putting yourself in a objective position saying you are prettier than other girls is a big turn off and immature. However, saying you believe you and your friends are beautiful without comparing yourselves to others shows maturity and self confidence in one's unique beauty.
Asker+1 yI wasn't trying to make myself sound superior. That's why I didn't use words like "uglier" but instead chose to say "less attractive." but I know when it comes down to my friends, friends who I've met from various points in my life and kept in contact with throughout the years, I'm always shocked to find out that they're still single. they're all educated, take good care of themselves and are all around kind of girls. But it never fails. They'll tell me about some guy they like, and then for one reason or another, that guy will stop talking to them, become more distant, etc. then turn around and he's with some other chick who, and I'm probably biased, has literally nothing on my friends, whether that be with looks, personality, the way they carry themselves, etc. So basically I was wondering why this is a pattern for us. Why does it seem like guys prefer those kind of girls over girls like my friends who are attractive, level-headed and educated.
My guy friends are more attracted with girls who can go without makeup, yet use makeup to dress up for a night out.
Most of the time the guys who see woman that are attractive are more high management (more so on the wallet)
In times like today, most guys I know feel at ease with woman who can live without vanity.
(Unlike the woman in the photo)
Confidence with no makeup grabs the guys for sure in my group of friends.
Also try not to compare yourself with other woman, it's not attractive.80 Reply
+1 yOk based on attraction, maybe y'all aren't attractive to the guys you typically are around... like I personally think that myself and most of my friends are pretty attractive but if I ask some guys they completely disagree and do not find us attractive at all... so the whole if y'all are pretty or not just really depends- but I'm sure you guys are, I've never really seen a girl who is really bad looking... also with the down to earth personalities I see the same thing where I am so that's really annoying and I can't figure it out either... but like I said, it's really subjective so what one person thinks is gorgeous and down to earth another might think is hideous and high maintenance...

@zxcded thank you!! :)))
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yAlmost every single pretty girl that I've met, once I got beyond her looks, all I found was an empty vessel with no real personality. Sometimes I desperately tried to find something, almost wishing it was there, but there was nothing.
I know a pretty Asian girl right now, lovely looking, cute as hell... but talking to her. Have you any idea how tough it was to get a decent conversation going? She wants to talk about her favorite pen, or her new trainers...
So let me ask you this, are you and your pretty attractive friends interesting?23 Reply
+1 yChances are you're not as pretty or "down to earth" as you think you are. Or you're raging bitches.
It usually can be boiled down to one of several things.
1) Unattractive/ugly. This includes fat, unless you can find one of those sickos that likes fat women or a complete simp that will settle for a fat girl since it's all he believes he can get.
2) Other man's/men's kids.
3) Entitlement attitude.
4) Generally unpleasant to be around for any length of time. A bitch.
And yes, it's basically that simple.00 ReplyI think the fact that you are calling other girls less "quality" plays a huge role in why you are single. Sounds like you have either an inflated ego, too high of standards, or a combination of the two.

doesn't need to be ladies!
is it not possible that a girl is just selfconfident and knows herself well? or that the same traits would be interpreted in men as confidence and dominance?
probably she is just straight here on this app but in real life not at all comparing...
what do you think?
+1 yBecause guys dont really care about how you look in the long run. We might see a girl and be like "daaammnnn" but she won't be the girl we fall for. Usually the girls men pick are those who are good people, nice, funny, (nerds are a huge turn on) etc. Im not saying you and your friends are bad people but if you are as attractive as you state then a guy might be turned off by that (not sexually) and won't originally want a relationship. I have multiple female friends with that exact problem. What they do is try to show of their more geeky and stupid sides instead of their attractive exterior.
00 Reply
+1 yYeah, I've also noticed this too 😅. The main issue can be that the men are just worried about rejection and don't think you'd want to date them. That's probably 90% of the reason why. Maybe even 100%.

+1 yI've been asking the same question for long. Some guys won't understand your question at all. I am the same type of women as yourself, and I have been single for most of my life, with very few dates here and there. I have seen far less attractive girls with handsome guys, and this defies logic, lol.
24 Reply- +1 y
it's because to a certain extent, looks dont matter. Does she have to be pleasing yeah. for example, if she has a eyepatch, a wooden leg and a hook for a hand (a pirate) then its out of the question. If she has a decent face, nice hair, ok body etc.. and a great personality then things will be ok for her. A pretty girl who only thinks in looks and abandons her personality gets kind of... boring.
- +1 y
@FreedomByChoice I agree. I never exclude personality, but how are these guys-many of whom are super attractive-get attracted to a woman who is not attractive by all standards? I mean in the first place: how can a guy know she has a
' good personality'? - +1 y
well Im really attractive (or most people will tell me) yet I dont have a girlfriend. It has more to do with how they put themselves out there. How approachable they look which again, goes to your personality or something at first glance that makes you seem like you have negative traits. Sometimes we have a hunch of who is a good person and who isn't. For example, who is more friendly at first glance, The lady reading a book with a smile on her face at the park (not in the creepy way) or a lady on her phone with the resting b! tch face? or maybe, just maybe your standard of what you find attractive is not their preference
- +1 y
@FreedomByChoice yeah, it makes sense. But of course it's coincidence too: it depends on how the guy (in the park for instance) would see the woman with the book.
Maybe they want to be. Maybe they don't think they're pretty. Maybe people assume you're not available because you don't put yourself out there.
Though tbqh, I was literally on a date and got approached by an idiot who wouldn't leave me alone. So.10 Replya couple of things, one probably guys dont want to be competing with other guys to stay with you. for example thinking that you will eventually find someone better than them. 2 you guys do not see each other like other people do. i am often told i look pissed off all the time, when i am just deep in thought. 3 im not trying to be mean just saying things i often notice about attractive women, you guys probably really dont have a good personality. again not trying to be mean just answering a question. sorry if i offended anybody

TRUTH BE TOLD lol 🤣
OK here are the points:-
1. Some guys think you already have boyfriend.
2. Other guys think you are egoists and would reject them.
3. you are lesbians.
4. Some guys don't like your personality.
5. Some guys are just shy.
6. Some guys are gay
7. Some guys think you are (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) ugly.
8. Some guys like you but try to play mind games with you and nothing actually proceeds even it has potential.
9. Some guys feel that you don't deserve them.
This is what I can think of now.00 Reply1. High Expectations simply because you think of urself as "better" than other girls.
2. Looks aren't everything. Maybe those girls take efforts for guys and u all just wait there for the guys to text/call/etc first.
3. Being Single is a choice. You want someone who looks cute and friendzone everyone who doesn't, this means u r directly removing 90% guys from ur targeted interest and choosing to stay single 9/10 times unknowingly.
Hope, after reading this, u will give ur "friendzoned" friend a chance. Especially the Not Cute one.40 Reply
+1 yMaybe its your attitude or the fact normally pretty girls expected too. much from their boyfriend. i once date a girl who wanted me to complated with her friends boyfriend everytime they got her friends soemthing then i had to waste money on her. i am a simple man i love trying new things, enjoying good company, i do not drink but dont care if my friends do and i dont judgy other people. if i met a girl who kind, dowm to earth amd doesn't wanna spend every penmy i got then we can hang.

+1 yThe facts state most guys won't confront a beautiful girl solely because they say in their minds there's no way she's single... Epically if you and your friends are in groups a lot in public that also hinders a guy from wanting to come up to you. Girls that aren't attractive doesn't mean they don't have a good personality or that they don't deserve a boyfriend. My motto is looks fade but food doesn't.

2. You're not as "Down to earth" as you think you are.

This x1,000,000
Guys don't generally look for beauty in a relationship, it's more their personality and what they do for fun etc. I'm going into 10th grade and I wouldn't even think about dating most of the pretty girls because they generally are just b*tches and have to have a guy who is perfect for their standards (this is from my experience, I know most girls aren't like this it's just in my school)
20 ReplyGuy may feel you are "out of their league" and are intimidated. I am rather shy myself when it comes to hitting on a woman. I've missed wonderful opportunities from girls I later found out had a crush on me.
Partially, because I didn't want to be like every other guy and fawn over them or I could not imagine them being interested.
Now, if only I knew where to find a quality woman I might feel more bold to try.20 ReplyIs this a question? I would understand you to ask it if you didn't consider yourself a pretty girl, but you have already told you consider yourself a pretty girl, then you should know why you prefer to be single than to be with any guy with whom you have had any option to be.

No substance to their character. I have no clue if you are attractive or not as it's just self proclamation but I met a lot of girls who think of themselves as pretty, it comes off as arrogant and obnoxious. Plus they generally don't have much character beyond an attitude

Truth be told. That's why I don't like stuck up girls.
Because what girls see as "down-to-earth" guys see as "not sexy." They want someone cute and not too smart to act impressed by everything they do, while wearing low-cut tops and short skirts and drinking a lot, so the guy feels he's got a chance with her.
Unfortunately, women like you and your friends are boring and intimidating at the same time. You're too much work so they don't bother.
I'm in this category too and have just accepted singleness.16 Reply- +1 y
As a guy I disagree with this, I'd rather someone smart that could hold a convo and is just overall independent, I don't want someone to control them and fill my ego, I want someone to grow with and spend good times with.

this answer is just so... bitter LOL. Has it ever crossed your mind that this is the reason why you see problems from the opposite gender? there are plenty of guys who like smart women, and no, most people aren't ''intimated by you'' because you are a ''strong women'' be whoever you want to be.

Well they definitely don't represent all guys.
You tell us. You know yourself better than any of us, so why are you single?
Do no guys approach you?
Do you reject any guy that does?
There could be a whole slew of reasons why you all are single.70 ReplyBecause just like being unattractive, you come with certain stereotypes that are difficult to break through.
Men might think because you're pretty, you are more likely to cheat. More likely to unintelligent or maybe just not lead with your mind but instead flaunt your looks.
Maybe think you will be high maintenance, stuck up or less kind.
Just some ideas.10 ReplyTo be honest I would have to find out what you and your friends are like to determined if you are really down to earth as you said... on the other hand the right guys have not shown up as yet !

1. Self-centered.
