Do guys actually prefer ugly girls?

[Anonymous]

Ever since I gained about 10 lbs, and spent less time on my hair, makeup, and clothes, the first thing I noticed was that I was getting actually MORE attention from guys my age, then when I was slim and really stylish. Maybe this is the effect as seeing average looking/ugly girls with guys than pretty/decent looking girls with guys on the streets?

What's happening here? Do ugly girls actually try harder and approach guys aggressively? Or do guys feel safer approaching more uglier or short girls?

Normally I approach girls who are a 5-7 on a scale of 1-10. Girls who are average looking are WAY nicer and easier to talk to/approach. I just feel safer, like chances are it'll be successful. Shocker - rejection isn't fun. Her standards probably aren't as lofty as a more attractive girl. And she looks less maintenance and more fun. She doesn't nitpick or obsess over her appearance. She looks like she could be ready to go out in 10min. Not full of herself, etc. Definitely what I want. Not some girl who looks like a model but seems like a ****.

Skinnier is not always better. Guys' attraction to the female body is not as simple as the media would have you believe. Sometimes gaining a bit of weight can make you more attractive, more voluptuous. Fat in and of itself is not a bad thing. It only becomes a problem when it starts to throw off the natural shape and curvature of your body. However, a little bit of fat can actually accentuate your shape.

Most guys who approach less attractive girls aren't that attractive themselves. And since there are more less attractive guys compared to good looking guys, you're going to get more attention

or maybe...you look less high maintenance and more approachable?

Not all guys like skinny girls, and there is nothing wrong with short girls. Maybe those "ugly" girls were not conceited and more fun to be around?

Ugly? Hell no.

"Average"? Sure!

Stereotypically hot? Meh. I never found that attractive.

That's just my opinion, though.

No, they prefer the girls who look beautiful in their eyes. Obviously, we have different eyes ;-)

I bet you may have just looked like you tried too hard before. You are pretty either way but now you look more effortless and guys like that.
