Is it true that gorgeous girls rarely ever get approached/complimented?

Question

Is it true that a lot or beautiful girls hardly ever get complimented or approached  cause a lot of guys assume they are taken or just don't think they stand a chance?

This is true. I get told how beautiful I am all the time but guys who have already known me for a while, or the few who had the courage, but most don't. I'm told that as I get older, I get better and better looking. Losing weight, grew my hair out, prettier face, etc. And the older I get (which is still only 22 by the way lol) the less I get approached. Sometimes I feel so desperate because I have to make it totally obvious, going out of my way to be alone, staring and smiling, just in the hopes that these guys will try. I once sat at the bar for 2 hours by myself and no one came up to me. But once I started leaving, and the guys knew I'd have to walk past them and leave so they wouldn't be embarrassed if I rejected them, suddenly they're all grabbing my ass, whistling, and asking me to stay a while.

It's so frustrating! I've come such a long way both looks and personality wise. I feel more beautiful, confident, laid-back, and ready to meet someone great than ever. I've always been a happy, outgoing person who can easily carry on a conversation with new people, so that never changed. But it seems the more I improved myself, the less men took a chance on me :( When they finally do, they admit they've liked me forever and thought they didn't have a chance. I've been single for a while.

I agree with the rest of the girls' comments. I do get compliments from girls and looks from guys occasionally and people are surprised I'm still single at my age. One guy who knew me many years before confessed via FB recently that he wanted to talk to me but didn't dare to. Wish I knew I had secret admirers. I think it has to do with personality as well. Gorgeous and easy going are easier for guys to approach perhaps.

Well, I know I am average,maybe slightly above so this doesn't really pertain to me. However, I know some girls who are absolutely stunning. And ALL of the gorgeous ones I know have a lot of problems in terms of boys. They are so sweet, but hardly ever get approached. They just don't have the come hither look I guess.

Attractive girls want hot men. Hot men usually are players, hence the hot women usually are pumped and dumped a lot. The very hottest women often can't keep boyfriends, because the hot guys are on to next hot girl, and the beautiful girl isn't willing to date average guys, so she ends up single and lonely. Simply put, hot girls go for the wrong guys, then end up lonely. Most hot girls won't compromise and date more average/boyfriend material guys.

wow, I'm very surprised of all the female answers on how beauty can be a blessing but also a curse in disguise, by being lonely and not being able to find someone because guys just won't approach them, because they are pretty.

I wonder if this also pans out for good looking guys, how look good but don't have the confidence to approach or be to shy when approached by girls.

It's usually older men that tell me I'm beautiful... The young guys show that they think I'm pretty by staring and smiling, but most won't dare make an actual move. They think I have my pick of men and they don't stand a chance but in reality, they're the one with the chance!

They get hit on.  But they are hit on by jerks mostly.  Or weirdos. Most of the good looking gals I know have trouble finding someone to settle down with.

_gorg3ouss_ · Answer

Yes that is the truth. Most men are actually intimidated by stunningly beautiful women from the fear of rejection, not measuring up, or feeling inadequate. Women on the other hand, for the most part do not compliment women who they feel is "better looking" than them. If you know you have very desirable traits, do not be alarmed when you do not receive admiration. Jealousy, envy and insecurity is probably the man reason girls won't tell you you're pretty. But deep down inside, they know it, the guys know it, and it's only what you think that matters the most. Be confident and don't place your value on how others view you or the amount of attention/admiration you get.

I've seen that happen.  A beautiful girl by herself, a bunch of guys around talking to each other, once in a while one of them looks over at her.  They act like she's a policewoman spy or something, all of them think there's no point in trying with her.

I think it is true in some cases.I never think I am a stunning beauty but I used to been told I am beautiful.Still,very rare guys approach me whenever I hang out with my friends.I am not sure if I don't give the approachable aura or I look like a stuck up bitch.Nobody believes me when I said I am single but I am one of the most lonely girl on this earth.

I don't know if I'm beautiful or not but I don't hardly get any compliments. Mainly only girls and older people tell me how beautiful I am. One time I was walking from school and this little pubescent kid stopped me and told me that I was beautiful. Random people, other than guys my age, see me and then smile. Guys my age don't approach me or give me compliments or smile at me.

Probably. I get told I am beautiful, but seem to never get hit on (I mean, I do...but, not guys I want). Recently, a guy did approach me who was good looking and admitted that he was shocked he did approach me...he said that he thought for sure I had a boyfriend. This may explain why I seem to be doing the hitting on (with a good success rate haha).

I've thought this for a while. But...I have a friend who is utterly gorgeous and she gets hit on daily.

they get hit on and 'approached' by guys who lack tact frequently. opening line of "hey baby you're hot" is not a compliment. they more than likely hear "you have pretty ____" all the time so its not really a compliment to them

"a lot of guys assume they are taken or just don't think they stand a chance" this is the guys problem. this is where being confident and tactful is important. hot chicks often have hot friends...

CrystalMinds · Answer

Well, I hear quite some compliments so I think I look okay, and no, I rarely get approached, maybe once or twice a year? I get buttgrabbed, and they get faceslapped.

No, there's enough guys like me who will always approach and compliment a good looking girl. Some are jerks, sure. Some are just guys who don't see what the big deal is.

kairon156 · Answer

allot of guys assume beautiful girls are already taken or are out of their league when for the most part it's not true.

MikeK · Answer

I think it's BS. There'll always be some guy who thinks he's better than all the other guys, and HE won't hesitate to chase the beautiful girl.

Xx_DRE_xX · Answer

Thats a lie, anybody who is considered attractive will always be fed complements & attention until they no longer have youth.

normalice · Answer

on the internet this is absolutely false. As far as in real life? Who knows..

Opalivian · Answer

"Mostly" by the confident douchebags. Sad how things work.

No not at all. It may be true that you are intimidated by a beautiful woman.
