How do ugly or average looking girls get boyfriends?

Question

Do you have to put yourself out there? Do guys actually approach more avg girls than prettier ones...? If so, why am I still single? LOL...

ugly/average looking girls try harder that's why. Most good looking girls don't because they think that things just come to them so they expect the guy to make all the effort. ugly/average looking girls meet guys halfway by putting in some effort towards getting a relationship. It's also that it's easier for guys to approach the ugly/average girl because they are less threatening and generally more fun to be around. Attractive girls are intimidating for a lot of guys so sometimes we just settle for something more attainable. If good looking girls acted the same way as ugly/average girls do then everything would be flipped and pretty girls would have more boyfriends but they set their standards way too high.

So why are you still single you ask. It's because you probably don't put in enough effort to get guys. I have a friend that is a girl and she is what you could consider as ugly/average but she has more guy friends than girls. Good looking guys I might add. She does this because she is proud of who she is and isn't afraid to make the extra effort. Also she is an all around awesome and fun person to be around.

hope this helps

1. Yes. You have to be more active in your pursuit than hot girls.

2. Kind of. We do approach more average girls than pretty ones, but that's simply because there are many more average girls. If you're asking "does a given average girl get approached more than a given pretty girl?" the answer is probably no.

the way you worded this makes you sound a bit evil :P but I definitely understand what you are on about there is a certain type of girl that just seems to get boys flocking to them usually they are average to less attractive but they are insanely sweet, kind, nice to everyone, open to talking to anyone, smile a lot and in general are easy to get a long with and don't seem to provide any trouble for anyone mainly guys but they sometimes aren't the brightest as in they won't challenge a man's manliness or his intelligence or ego etc.. also as an other answer said they try harder. Also I believe for every person out there, there will always be people that find them attractive and people that find them unattractive. Also don't you love how people automatically assume you are horrible because of like 25 word question -.-

It's called they have a personality  And honestly you don't sound all that nice. A pretty nice isn't going to get your that far in life

Sounds like it's your personality. You seem a little unpleasant, which would explain it all.
