Guys only seem to call me “hot” or “sexy” but never “pretty” or “stunning” does that mean I’m not girlfriend material?

Question

I’ve noticed whenever I post a picture on Instagram guys pop up with very sexual comments like “wow you look hot” or “Damn that body” but never say anything about my eyes, face or hair I know I don’t have the prettiest face but I didn’t think it was that bad to the point where I hardly get compliments on my face I’ve been told before that guys who only say “hot” or “sexy” only see you as a sexual object but guys who say soppy stuff like “beautiful” or “gorgeous” want a relationship. Is this statement true? I try my best not to show too much skin so guys will actually notice my face but still got compliments on my body more☹️

I mean what did you expect from Instagram? It's full of thirsty people who just barks out these comments on every hot girl's insta.
You are pretty, that is a fact. But you can't expect people on the internet to REALLY compliment you other than your looks. Need to really get to know someone who can compliment you the proper way, otherwise you'll be stuck with these "woow you sexy babe" comments.
In fact, whatever you do men always attracted to looks first and then the rest of you. That's just how it is.
And I think that statement is not true about the comment types. It doesn't matter if someone comments "Hot" or "Gorgeous" they are still the faceless horde of the internet.
And all this doesn't mean you are not a girlfriend material. Most of us need to know you better to decide if you are in fact a girlfriend material, the looks are just a plus in that matter.
And I don't think that there's anything wrong with your face, on the second picture your eyes are (in my personal opinion) magnetizing. So don't let yourself get dragged down by thirsty comments on the internet, you just have to get a guy who appreciates you as a whole!

It can mean that. But it actually usually means they are intimidated or feel inferior.

But coming from a guy, i feel like it's the highest of compliment from a Male perspective, and it it's taken the wrong way by women

I love telling girls that they are sexy, and they hate it. It's not like you're not girlfriend material, you are just so fine, they want to Express that knowing their chances are slim

If you dress sexy a lot and go out socially frequently, then could be not girlfriend material we would smash but we dont want to be scared she cheatin every hour of the day.

Lmao, sis I don't even know why ur complaining, I don't even get called beautiful or hot or sexy, guys only compliment my lips. I guess that's the only feature they find attractive on me. So I wish I was in ur shoes, but I get what ur saying, u wanna be seen as girlfriend material and not seen as just sex material. Well majority of guys nowadays care more about sex than relationships, that's how their wired, to mate and pass on their genes

I think it just means only creeps and dudes who are looking for fap material are really bothering to comment.

Most dudes think "hot" and "sexy" are exactly the compliments women want to hear. They don't quite get that beauty is more than sex.

I think you're beautiful.

I'd say don't expect genuine compliments from dudes on social media. As a rule, that's a pretty safe one.

No. To answer your question from a gentleman. The choice of vocabulary and as per say complimentary words does not define the interests and intentions of the guy.
His choice of words are a direct reflection of intelligence and decision making skills.
Guys will show there truest nature after a climax of either physical or emotional Rollercoaster.
Your choice of covering skin is a wise choice. The more skin, the more sex comes to mind. Its a subconscious response all humans have.
The details you spend your time to accentuate, such as your eye lashes, makeup, hair. Etc. Are always noticeable.
As its been said before... actions speak louder than words.
If he is comfortable stating to you your body is hot. He already has pictured himself having sex with you, or at least has made the choice that he would based on physical appearance.
A guy with his intentions to truly court you. I can not say specifics. Each of us are different with tactics. Youve to educate yourself on paying attention to his actions. We all have ways of flirting and showing affection. Could be as easily described as 2live crew.
Luke went hard in the paint!
I mean come on... pop that pussy. Sir mix a lot was another who verbally was in my opinion an excellent poet with words.
Oh and if and when you decide to give a guy a shot, make sure the juice is worth the squeeze!
He gotta go down on the brown or his lady holds a frown!
Hope this helps!

your are attractive. but it takes more then just looks to land a good partner. having a personality and attitude they find enjoyable matters as well. in many ways

many high quality guys won't view a girl as girlfriend material if they regularly post selfies online. because it often makes them seem like. their just fishing for complements and self gratification.

rather then working on bettering themselves as a person. and working on bettering their relationships with others.

many guys tend to get view those girls. as just looking for a hookup and not a relationship.

Freddy78361 · Answer

Hmmm..
Yes, you're pretty. Yes, you have a pretty face. No qualifiers. No "pretty for a black woman," no "pretty except for your...", and no "pretty for your age."

You're pretty.

You show your body so I comment on your body. It's that simple. Men comment on all we see and, honestly, when the body looks good we don't spend a lot of time on the face. Sorry not sorry.

Hot is a subset of pretty. I have never seen a hot woman who wasn't also pretty.

Bangable? A woman can be bangable and have an ugly face.
Sexy? Same thing as bangable.

Sexy and bangable cover a woman's clothing, body position, and the look on her face. You don't put that look on your face or wear those clothes so I don't refer to you in those terms.

But you're pretty. However, until we meet and I know what type of person you are I cannot call you the best thing of all: "attractive."

Britchie · Answer

I think most of those guys (myself included) wouldn't even know what to do with a girl as attractive as you. A lot of girls are pretty but not also hot. Maybe post less body shots if you want the focus to be on your face. It seems that the type of guy you want is a classy guy, so try less revealing or tight clothes. I'm not saying wear a burka, but cater to the type of guy you want if that's your intention. If all you want is attention, well then you've already got that sorted lol.

Brokenheartedx · Answer

Sad reality of it is, most guys don't want a girlfriend... Men do, not guys... Guys are 10 a penny but a real man will treat you with respect and will make u his wife.. try branching out of your comfort zone and finding a man who will respect you and look you in the eye rather than your breasts...

Shezadi · Answer

With me it's opposite they only call me cute which makes me feel like I can only be a female friend.  That's me at least 2 years ago now I am 21

centerline · Answer

it only means they have a small vocabulary... your photos shows you are ALL of that, and more, so maybe your beauty is rendering them speechless...

most guys are shy when it comes to a beautiful woman, so once you fully understand this fact, you can move forward to get them to loosen up a little more for a meaningful conversation... or more.

Tamera952 · Answer

Reading too much into it. You don't need certain adjectives to be handed to you from others in order to confirm, prop-up, or solidify your own self-image. You decide what you "are" and that should be enough -- and should look at any compliments from others as just icing on the cake (a cake you baked and already know is pretty and stunning) -- Plus Any compliments should be paid forward to. Someone says something nice, you should do the same to keep the karma flow going.

Guido59 · Answer

Unfortunately, us guys are made that way. At first glance we see a sexual being. IRL if a guy you know doesn't see you as a person who is pretty and not just a "piece of ass" you don't really need friends like that.

By the way. You ARE pretty!!!

Guanfei · Answer

But that's true, you're hot. And hot girl can't be girlfriends or wife. The thing is, to be a girlfriend requires more than just being pretty. And since all we know about you is your appearance, how could we know if you could be a potential girlfriend?
I would honestly need to know you more, personally, to know if you can be girlfriend material. For now, all I know about you is that you're hot, and that's it

Miristheiss · Answer

I think the outfits you wear in all of your pictures have more of a sexual vibe to them, revealing and showing off body parts so the reaction you get is probably focused more on the body you are showing off than just your face and looking pretty and cute in a more elegant, modest way. Some women can be jaw dropping but hardly be showing any skin.
I'd say it is the way you are packaging and promoting yourself.

TheAfrikan · Answer

⚫many men have a way they describe a girls look. Some mugt say you look sexy, hot or magnificent.

But all in all if one goes far to describe the feateon youthen thst means he is really into you, so thst he even too time to recognize specific features he really loved on you.
Do those who mention about your sexy style, beautiful lips and a secy chocolate skin, just know they know what they need and fancy.
But do not think if you are to display much skin you will get love, judt it keep it you always 100% no matter what.

JimboGB · Answer

You have done your hair, wearing makeup, have on a tight dress and high heels, it is not as you've gone for the homely look. The fact you are on Instagram posting photos of yourself gives the impression you are seeking the kinda compliments you are receiving.

Lastly, I have seen you get compliments on your face and you didn't like it lol.

SilverRain92 · Answer

If you post hot pictures with deep cleavage or bikini they would objectify you of course. It's how guys think. If they see a girl showing her assets they think about her body not about her personality

gagmewithapitchfork · Answer

Instagram isn't really somewhere a guy would say you look pretty. They always want to seem super macho. If they were talking to you irl, I'm sure they would call you pretty.

bklynbadboy1 · Answer

Your a pretty girl but unfortunately I can't tell you if your girlfriend material cause I don't know anything about you and for me to make any body my girl it takes more than look. We have to be compatible you have to have intelligence a cool personality and a great sense of humor. That's just the basics

jshm2 · Answer

To be honest, I've seen pencils with more meat than your body. But you do have great hair and an open expressive face.

Maybe concentrate on yourself, rather than hope guys online will turn sugar daddy for you.

Instagram is more for likes and hopes. It's not for conversations. Maybe the guys think you're an escort?

Everyone ones type of girlfriend material is different so I wouldn't worry about that, you are a naturally pretty which is an awesome

I wouldn't say that it makes much of a difference. I'd say that you're too focused on looks really.

And dont you dare let anyone tell you elsewise ok? Those guys who jus give sexual comments are just retarded, the perfect guy for you will come, all ya have to do is wait a bit but itll be definitely worth it!

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

The reason is that you elicit a raw, strong sexual response in these males. They desire to mate with you. There are pretty women that don't have this same effect on guys and they are more likely to be called pretty
