Why don’t guys say I’m pretty?

[Anonymous]

Every time I go out with a guy they’re always interested me and want to go on more dates but they just never compliment my physical appearance. They’ll always compliment other things but they never tell me I’m pretty or anything. I get called pretty more by random girls on the street than the guys I’m dating.

Ah man that's kinda weird that those guys aren't giving you the props you deserve. I mean, looks are definitely important, at least at first before you get to know someone's personality, you know?

A few possibilities for what could be up:

- They might be shy nerds who suck at giving compliments. Some guys just freeze up when trying to say the right thing.

- Or they could be players who don't want to come on too strong by only focusing on your looks. They might think commenting on your mind or humor is safer.

- It's possible they just assume you know you're good looking so they don't feel the need to say it. Dumb assumption on their part!

- Or they could be afraid saying the wrong thing might make you think they only care about your body or something. Overcompensating maybe.

Honestly I'd just say something to them like "Hey, you gonna tell a girl she's pretty or what?" with a smile so they know you want the validation. Otherwise find dudes with more game who aren't afraid to shower you with the compliments you deserve! Might take a few frogs but a real one will come along. Hope that helps! Let me know if any other questions.

This is the kind of question that can only be honestly answered by showing a picture of yourself. It could be that you're not pretty; women will call you pretty when they don't think you feel pretty, they'll tell you a comforting lie, where as men will just not mention it. It could be this, or it could be that there's some idea going around the younger end of the manosphere that complimenting women all the time inflates their egos too much (it does) and so they're not doing it anymore... Can't know without a picture of what you look like.

I wouldn’t say random women would just come up to you and call you pretty if you’re really ugly. I mean men hit on me too and call me pretty. My problem is my dates never do.

[incorrected]

Is there a difference between the men who hit on you and the men you pick? What are the commonalities between the men you've dated, such that it never went the distance?

[Asker]

Would it be that they’ve already got me, So there’s no point in doing those things?
