Do you think Im experiencing "pretty girl problems"?

[Anonymous]

I find that although I try to look nice and I put effort into how I look, most people seem to ignore me more than I have noticed other women experience. Most of my friends get approached my guys and have easy conversations, while only the most outgoing guys say anything to me. I know it may seem shallow but I hear that pretty women get approached more often than unnattractive ones unless guys are intimidated. Im very shy so I keep quiet, and I question that maybe if nobody is talking to me then I'm probably just not pretty. But when people do speak to me they tell me how they always thought I was so pretty, how Im very pretty, or something along those lines. I was best looking in my high school year book, I was always told that most guys thought I was out of there league, even my first love seemed excited to "show me off" to his brothers. He remarked at how they would be jealous and surprised to see him with "a girl like me". When I met his friends and family they would all say "oh man she's pretty" and eventually when we had relationship problems this same guy said he always thought I was "out of his league" and questioned my motives. I had problems in the past because most relationships didn't develop because guys didn't take the time to get to know me and I felt that they treated me like a trophy rather than actually liking me for my personality (aside from my first love). Even though I question my looks constantly, I strive to be more confident and have a more outgoing personality. I want people to like me for more than my looks, but I fear that changing my behavior could end badly. I was bullied in middle school so bad for being poor and looking shabby, and I had a bad reputation as THE nobody. I haven't been insulted in years, not on my looks anyway. And people have only ever told me that I seem mature because I think very carefully about everything that I say. Do you think Im having "pretty girl problems" or is it more of an internal thing? And how do I fix it?

I think you might have a similar problem as I do. Im incredibly shy but people tell me I'm handsom and such, then nobody really approaches me very easily. I do think what you're saying could be defined a 'pretty girl problems' but I also think they could be considered 'shy girl problems'.
As I consider the solution to my own situation to be more forward toward the people who im interested in but wouldn't likely talk to me on their own.

Of course this isn't easy, having 'pretty/shy guy problems' means people aren't likely to approach me and those who do have a high bar of expectations for me. Im still working on the solution myself, but as far as I can tell fircibg myself to be more forward even though im very introverted might be my best bet. I think the same for you, although I hope you can find someone who is willing to stay with you for mire than your looks. I can't say I have that problem as I don't seem to neet the expectations of the few people who do approach me.

I personally do not go after pretty girls because I don't like the "fakeness" vibe. My girlfriend does not wear makeup or anything but she's beautiful just the way she is. I get majorly turned off from those Instagram girls because it seems like they just hide behind a facade of makeup. I want someone who is real, someone who doesn't cake their face in makeup. I would say to try to not wear makeup for a little or have light makeup. Maybe you will get some different results.

there are naturally pretty women. why do you suppose a woman has to "cake on makeup" to be pretty?

Ah, you're reaping what your partners in crime sowed. Guys aren't approaching just any girl nowadays. Men are getting kinda fed up with being lead on, rejected harshly, used, and just overall treated poorly by girls. So now more and more guys are starting to choose carefully when it comes to girls. Attractive girls are seen as off limits because the stereotype is that she looks down on men and will only pick the richest, most alpha man anyway.

Just going to have to start talking have a conversation with the conversation I'm sure you've always got something to say you might not say what you think but maybe you need to say what you're thinking

Best guess: You're not interested in the guys who approach you. And those you're interested in don't approach you.

There is no such thing has pretty girl problems.

You stated my times that you have a nice outside. But that doesn't stay anything about guys getting interest. Why don't you focus less on appearance and try to become a better person?
