Why do guys only go for the prettiest girls?

[Anonymous]

I see guys complain all the time about how women are trash nowadays, yada yada. They only go for the pretty girls, they only go for the girls they find to be super attractive, but never for average looking girls like me. I'm just invisible in the corner, no one notices me or cares about me.

I am traditional, I am religious, saving for marriage, I want to have kids, I want to get married young etc. BUT NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN ME! They don't even care to say hi, and if I say hi they ignore me. 😥

Looking at your age, I can tell you why: they're immature and even though they claim they want a, "nice girl with a good personality," they're thinking with the wrong head-

In other words, they say one thing, but realistically they're going to pursue an attractive girl with little to no substance. Yes, dating sucks; speaking from my own experience at your age, haha. I was the "geeky, tomboy-ish girl" that guys only saw as a friend, but not a girlfriend.

But wait! It gets better! (Sarcasm in case you can't tell)

Unfortunately, some guys never outgrow that mentality and it carries into adulthood, making dating just as bad, if not worse in most cases : All I can suggest to you is to not stress over it. Focus on other things in your life: friends, church, school, extracurricular activities, etc... and not to let those little boys stress you out. Ideally, you'll find a guy when you're not trying, or when you're doing something you enjoy- that way he likes you for you, not just your appearance.

It can be disheartening to feel like you are being overlooked or ignored by potential romantic partners. However, it's important to remember that there is no single "right" way to be attractive or desirable to others.

It's possible that some individuals may prioritize physical appearance over other factors, but that does not mean that everyone feels the same way. There are many people who value traditional values and are looking for meaningful, long-term relationships based on shared values and compatibility.

It may be helpful to focus on building connections with others in your community who share your interests and values, whether that be through religious or community organizations, volunteering, or other activities. This can help you meet new people and potentially connect with others who share your values and are interested in getting to know you better.

It's also important to remember that finding a partner is not a race or a competition, and that it's okay to take your time and wait for the right person who truly appreciates and respects you for who you are. It's important to prioritize your own values and needs, and not compromise them simply to try and attract someone's attention.

Ultimately, it's important to focus on building a fulfilling and meaningful life for yourself, whether or not you are in a relationship. By being true to yourself and staying open to new experiences and opportunities, you may find that the right person comes into your life when you least expect it.

It is not true that all guys only go for the prettiest girls. Attraction is a complex combination of factors, and everyone has their own individual preferences. While physical attraction is certainly one aspect of attraction, it is not the only one, and different people find different qualities attractive. Additionally, what one person finds attractive may not be the same as what someone else finds attractive.

It's also important to remember that not everyone is going to be attracted to you, and that's okay. Just because you feel invisible or like no one is interested in you, it doesn't mean that you are not a valuable and worthwhile person. It's important to focus on building your own self-confidence and self-worth, rather than relying on external validation from others.

Finally, it's important to be patient and not give up hope. It may take time to find someone who shares your values and interests, but that person is out there. In the meantime, focus on building meaningful relationships with friends and family, pursuing your passions and hobbies, and enjoying your life.

people prefer to go for hot people over average, both ways. also i mean teen boys (and tbh most guys in general) aren't into your type of girl personality/values wise anyways and that probably shows through your clothes/how you act. honestly just go look for average looking boys that are also religious and conservative and you'll probably have a lot more luck. like just go on conservative christian discord servers or stuff like that and you'll find someone

if you just want everyday guys like at school to notice you, you probably need to style yourself less modestly (i mean i dont know how you dress but i'm assuming you probably were conservative stuff, might be a bit frumpy maybe and like dont wear makeup etc) but you dont need to go that far though or anything. probably also wear makeup and take more care of your looks. also it might also be your personality too like i'm assuming you might be more shy and reserved? if that's the case just be more outgoing. also question are your a bit overweight? cause that might also be it

[4ngelic]

also could be cause your not popular at all at school

[4ngelic]

if thats the case

[Guy13]

Cause young guys are immature... until at least 27.

[Asker]

Damn, so when I'm 18 I guess I'll have to go for a guy a lot older than me.

"I am religious, saving for marriage, I want to get married young"

How many people know this? How popular are these beliefs in your community? If you are an Evangelical Christian, consider that in the US, there are three Evangelical young women for every two men.

Do many people in your community get married young? Early marriages are more likely to fail than later marriages.

Also, why do you believe you are "average looking?" Most average-looking people can look a lot better with a good haircut and good clothes.

What are you doing with your life now? Where do you go where you might meet young men? Are you involved in any school activities?

You're in a rough spot. Guys your age are either petrified of speaking to a girl or so cocky and full of themselves that you don't want them to talk to you.

I realize that what I'm about to write may not make you feel all that much better... but you are NOT invisible and there ARE goes who notice you. Guarantee it. Keep talking to people. Keep being noticeable -- don't change; just be you but be noticeable. There will be a guy. Or more than one.

But, up your chances: go to games and dances and clubs (like, after school clubs not club clubs 🤦‍♂️) and coffee shops and do sports and stuff. In other words, increase your chances of getting noticed.

And keep talking to both girls and guys.

Well in high school guys are usually shallow, not all, but most.. but there are the rare good guy in the pack you just got to find him and hopefully like him too. Really keep your eyes open and venture into different groups of people. I was bullied at my school but I went to a different high school with my friend and the guys were so nice at that school it was weird lol. So just try to get out of your comfort zone and don't think too much about if they like you or not.

Really? You think so. I have seen incredibly handsome men going for less attractive women. Look at some of the women Henry Cavill dated. Just Google it and you'll get what I mean. He is capable to date someone like Margot Robbie or Amanda Seyfried yet he picks the ones he does.

Which better example can you find?

[Adaeva]

Because most guys are too stupid to realize that pretty girls have much better options than some ugly creepy guy. And, because they are stupid enough to believe they are a nine when in fact they are only a four.

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm sorry. :/
Just maintain your morals and standards, but try to make yourself as pretty as possible so that you can attract their attention.
(Sorry; I know that isn't PC advice. But it's realistic advice.)

Same reason girls go for the prettiest guys. If a girl fucks a hot guy then she gets into her head if I slept with him then I’m of the same caliber then they ignore men their league. False sense of importance and inflated ego

[Dіldophobe]

Average is fine, I only avoid repulsive faces because I can't help.

[UniquelyBasic]

To be fair, people dont want to go for "Average".

[zagor]

How old are you? You can't expect boys to act like men.

[In_Trance]

no different than girls going for the best lookin guys

[Shamalien]

Are you fat and out of shape? If so, fix it. Then you’ll get noticed.

[Anonymous]

Same reason why girls only go for the most handsome guys.
