pretty is never cookie cutter, because no one looks the same. So if you are a blonde, tall, skinny, tanned godess than sure you are pretty to someone. Infact you may be beautiful to someone. Or if you are a short bod, black hair, glasses wearing, acne baring girl than to some one you are to pretty to look at. Sure pretty people get by easier sometimes with charm and good looks. But the ones that are the prettiest are those people who shine inward to outward. The people I respect are not the ones with toned thighs and floor legnth gold locks, they are the ones that assert themselves, believe in themselves, and show a great sense of humor.
Yeah guys stare, usually because a girl could be dressed scandously, have something on her face, or have a very pronoced feature ( a big nose, big eyes, pouty lips). And if people don't always tell you that you are pretty it happens to everyone. Sometimes people are jealus and won't compliment people, but your family is honest so ask them. But if you depend on people TELLING you or ensuring you that you are pretty than that is bad. Than people are controlling how you feel, think you are prettyy. You are the only person that matters.
For all you girls on here that are complaining that guys don't find you attractive. They don, t find you attractive because you don't think your attractive. I'm pretty sure every girl has had low self-esteem at a time in their life but you can't go around feeling sorry for yourself and looking for a pity party. If you don't like something about yourself change it. And if you feel like you can, t find someone who will be willing to help you and push you. Surround yourself with people who are going to encourage and lift you up. To be attractive really has little to do with physical appearance it's about personality and what is on the inside. And if you show that you are confident with what you have on the inside that will begin to show and people will just naturally be drawn to you. And never let a guys opinion of you change your opinion of yourself. You just gotta tell yourself I am beautiful everyday and eventuallly that beauty will shine through.
^^ Well Said !
I totally agree with you!!! When I was at school &co i was introvert, no one thought I was interested so not pretty. But now I’m an adult, i got some confidence in myself well at least at work I don’t worry about what people thinks about me and i even freely talk to some guys who are attractive (who would completely ignore me if we would be back at high school time) and I feel they kinda like me, my personality, being nice, smiling is better to have a beautiful face but nothing interesting in your soul.
Well, everyone assumes I'm a weirdo, so im usually avoided by guys
@BonnieBunny Hi, lady
To answer all your questions at once, yes and no.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A stereotypical beauty does exist and those are usually the uber popular people. But I've told girls I thought they were pretty and they didn't even believe me, so like I said, eye of the beholder. And again, a more attractive person is usually more popular which does make life a bit easier at least socially.
Ultimately it's hard to be alive on this planet and not have one person out there think you're attractive.
1. Guys will look/check you out if ur hot/pretty.
2. Telling someone they're pretty is a pretty brave thing to do, especially if the girl is someone you like, so if ur not being told that ur pretty don't read too much into it the guys just might b shy.
3. Guys might ask you out more or they might not approach you at all, depending on you and the guy.

How to know if you're pretty?
1) You love what you see in the mirror.
2) People want to be your friend. For example, greeting you with a simple hello.
3) Someone has a crush on you. That is a pretty big sign.
4) People will talk about you. It's different if you have a bad personality, of course people will talk about you. However, if that "close to a stranger" people talk about you, then you are probably pretty. Why would they care so much right?
5) People want to hang out with you.
6) Kids love you. Children are often very honest. You should ask them for advice...
7) People compliment you on your looks. Very obvious sign. <--- Duh
8) You have a clear skin. EVERYONE looks good with an acne free skin. (no offense to anyone). Most of the time, the acne makes you look ugly.
9) You smile a lot. They say a smile is the most powerful human expression. It changes everyones mood. When a person smiles, they look 10x prettier.
I know I'm above average because of the opposite sex. They treat me different, like much nicer, they help me out, they show me they're the man around me and they try to hold a conversation with me. If it's more than just finding me pretty (die-hard crush), they get nervous around me as well and tend to avoid me at times showing obvious signs of nervousness. I never failed to have a mutual crush as well and I have many options (guys crushing on me) too. I also get complimented and I'm in general a human magnet. That's how I know even though I pretty much feel normal.
I only get attention when I wear makeup, have my brows done and maybe lash extensions. Makes me feel very ugly and not good enough when I’m all natural but I still don’t give a shit. On the usual, I would say I don’t really get told I’m pretty but I feel like that’s partly due to the people that I surround myself with and that’s just my closest friends and family who don’t feel the need to make superficial remarks. Personally, I think I’m fine, not that attractive but beauty is subjective and people fall in love with how you make them feel at the end of the day. :)
You get stared at a lot. But not being complimented much doesn't neccersially mean you're unattractive. A lot of people think attractive people probably get told often that they're attractive so most won't bother complimenting them, I read that somewhere lol
For me I get complimented daily but tbh I'm not that positive about my face anyways. I was always unattractive and only started getting better looks this year (puberty can be such a blessing 😂), so all this amount of compliments is really new and confusing to me.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
You may never know. That's a good thing! Humility, even if it comes in the guise of ignorance, is a virtue! Whereas, pride is widely considered the severest of the "deadly sins". Believe in the theology or don't; the human experience follows these ancient ideologies more closely than some would like to admit.
Try this: accept that you are beautiful to some, but not to all. Thusly, respond to those who might praise you, but not ply you with praise. Or... something like that.
If you get hit on a lot. If you notice people take double takes on you thats when they look and you turn away and quickly look back at you with shock like they just noticed you and you can tell they're into you. You've had more people who liked you than you liked so far. Like let's say you've had 15 guys who had crushes on you or asked you out or asked for your number and you yourself probably like only 5 guys so far. Hope that doesn't sound confusing. When someone man or woman goes out of their way to compliment you. When you get free stuff a lot. Like you go to a bar and the male bartender gives you a free drink. When a group of guys stare at you and smile and are obviously talking about you and are into you. The list can go on. I hope this helps you!
If you mean pretty as in, if you were to ask a large amount of people if you were attractive and the majority agreed then...
1. Guys would be intimidated talking to you
2. Guys would stare/ check you out, (assuming there's nothing off with your hair, anything on your face etc.)
3. Girls will either want to be your friend or be hostile towards you
4. Guys are your friends in the hopes of having sex with you
5. People call you pretty (indirectly & directly)
6. You may be able to get away with things (especially with teachers, professors, police, etc.)
I think it is a matter of feeling I mean even if you are beautiful from an objective point of view you may not feel so becouse nobody makes you feel so... probably there are 2 ways to know that you are beautiful one is by having proof being told by others, being given roses, poems, admired constantly and so on and the other one is being confident in yourself and be an observer of yourself an others from somewhere far away without taking in consideration that you are you. I think pretty these days also became a pretty relative term from person to person and sometimes being on vogue magazine can still make you ugly for some persons and sadly maybe even for the ones you love.
As a guy, I know that if you (girl) catch a guy looking at you, that probably means he has a crush on you, and not that you a necessarily pretty.
The best answer I can give is that "prettiness" is in the eyes of the observer (e.g. My friend has a crush on some girl and thinks she is "the most perfect being on earth" (kinda romantic ^.^), but in the other hand, I found her "not so pretty"...).
Of course there are some girls who EVERYBODY thinks they are pretty, but you are probably not that kind of girl if you are here asking this question...
So DON`T WORRY! Even if you are the most ugly girl on the planet, there MUST, and I repeat: there MUST be a guy out there who thinks that you are not just pretty, but you are an angel walking the earth.
Sincerely,
A guy who is not sure about his grammar but loves to help : P
It's not what others think of you it's what you think of you, everyone has a different view on people and on life as a whole, one person can look at someone and think they are perfect another can look at the same person and think they are ugly, it comes down to you, love yourself embrace yourself bc it's you and there is only one of you which makes you unique
You usually just know. People tell you that you're pretty, or they give you other kinds of compliments like being smart, funny, nice etc.
Also, if guys approach you, you assume they are hitting on you. Both guys and girls look at you a lot, some girls could even be rude or assume you're dumb because you are attractive out of jealousy.
It's a matter of opinion. Different people have different ideas of what makes a woman pretty. If you're happy with your appearance, then there is nothing to worry about, and I'm sure lots of guys find you pretty. There's also more to you than your looks.
there are some guys who admit to a girl that he thinks she's pretty, cute, etc. but there are also many that either are too scared or don't think to say that even if he really thinks it.
also a guy may stare or he might just look at her just a bit more or longer than usual and will often smile at her too.
Beauty is subjective. Your beautiful may be someone else's not so beautiful and vice versa. I could tell you a million times that you're pretty, but do YOU think that you are? Because if not, it won't matter who tells you. And a guy can tell you your pretty a million times and never mean a single one. You gotta love you and be happy with you first.
The way ur advances or interactions are met in general.
How do u know you are making profit or loss?
When Investment greater than outcome = Loss = Not pretty
When investment less than outcome
= Profit = Pretty
This is just on the basis of looks.
I haven't included other variables which overturn the deficit or surplus 😅👍
Meh, i guess i am since my boyfriend has stuck around with me for 8 years lol But besides him, I don't know. No, I don't get stares from other men, don't get approached, or told im pretty. I do get some compliments on my hair sometimes though but that's about it.
This is actually interesting, since men will literally have sex with almost anyone, even though she’s not traditionally pretty. If a woman has a nice butt, that could be enough for a man to have sex with you. So, gauging your beauty on whether or not a man has sex with you isn’t the right way to go. Gauging beauty based on friend’s telling you you’re beautiful is also false because all girls do that
You really can't - it's others opinions who deem that necessarily, more so than how you feel (isn't supposed to be that way, but usually it is)
I guess it would be compliments/thoughts from others - but that also wouldn't be a tell-tale sign, or 100% accurate, I don't think anything would be.
Yes - guy would stare if he has general interest for you, it is a sure sign that he is physically attracted, and yes he does think you are pretty, why else would he stare? And yes most guys would treat a pretty girl differently, kinda sad to say but we're men. But the one who doesn't treat a pretty girl differently could be the an extraordinary man. You'll find one of those man probably 1 in every 20 that you meet.
How would you treaat her differently? Like what would you do?
If people tell you, you are pretty/beautiful. I was called ugly all time when I was younger and I never saw it but now looking at my old self I was really ugly. I still get called ugly but I also get called beautiful too (). there are and still people who find me the most hideous and puke there guts out by the sight of me and there are some who drop down to there knees with their mouth watering bowing down to me lol really what I’m saying is, there is no ugly or pretty everyone has there own idea of beauty.
This is about the worst question to be asked and not because you asked it but because it needs to be answered. All girls are pretty to not thinks so can damage your self esteem. Guys can tend to be egotistical and arrogant. If someone doesn't tell you your pretty, just remember there is some who will. And as long as you think your pretty isn't that all that matters?
beauty is subjective, it depends on what the guy wants. only if he's shallow if he treats a girl differently, which is sad, should treat everyone with respect; some girls don't choose to be unattractive, we have a tough time as it is trying to look good. lol
This is very true. I struggled with self-esteem issues all my life. I was on both sides thin and plus- sized which I am now. I feel no matter how hard I try to be attractive, I won't never be good enough for soceity's standards.
@ sisterpeg & anonymous, I wish I had your pis. I really do. I'd like to see firsthand if the self esteem issues are warranted or not. Is it possible that you lived your whole life lying to yourself? Telling yourself you're a 5 or a 6 when in fact you're a 7, 8, or a 9?
That would suck! if you're an 8 when you've been telling yourself you're a 4 or 5 or some shit all these years...
In reality...
A) Countless men and women ask you out , or stare at you and smile
B) You've been accepted by a modelling agency
C) You've been told you should be a model
D) Your parents friends are like your son/daughter is so pretty, beautiful, handsome etc
In a perfect world...
You look at yourself in the mirror and say you are , because you said so.
I don't know when you look in the mirror and feel positive about yourself. It doesn't matter what other people think feeling good about yourself is more important. Of course what other people think matters a little but your self esteem is more important. I go from loving myself to feeling like a fat blob lmao but i know its just my moon rilly
Everyone has at least one pretty feature. And I bet you have many. Guys usually don't flirt with extremly hot girls because they get imtimidated. But obviously some guys don't. And you will be pretty to some guys and not so pretty to others. Its the same with everyone else. Most guys seams to be attracted to short curvy girls om this site but a lot of guys like all types of girls.
well I think people find me attractive because I get asked out a lot and guys are really nice to me they always say that I’m pretty and girls have told me I’m pretty as well I also get asked out by older guys (I guess they think I’m over 18) I don’t see why they think I’m pretty because when I look in the mirror I just don’t see it
Often we are overcritical of ourselves. For instance, I'm fairly certain that I'm the only guy with an interest in my current crush. Veeery beautiful.
Sometimes we see ourselves worse than we actually are because of past critism. I grew up in a place we're everyone called me ugly.
I moved and I seem to get a lot more looks and some girls have hit on me where I live now.
Also beauty standard changes with culture/location
Beauty is pretty objective, but I guess an obvious one is when you're told you are pretty or handsome (guys) often. Sometimes attractive people can be intimidating, if they are incredibly good looking it's a little hard to go up and tell them let alone talk to them lol (that's just me though) they may be stunning but not be told often.
you'd get male attention, you'd get compliments, you'd get asked out a lot, you'd get stared at, you'd get stalkers, you'd get treated nicely by men for no reason and not so nicely by women for no reason... lol
Well, keep in mind that 'pretty' doesn't mean 'attractive'. For a gentleman (the only kind of man you consider unless you really love heartbreak) beauty is determined by personality as well as appearance. If a man finds you beautiful, he will probably flirt in a subtle manner, try to befriend you AND YOUR FRIENDS, so that they will recommend him (we know that happens sometimes) and then try pulling off some gesture.
Thanks.
Really it's the truth, my current crush? Initially doesn't draw one's eyes, but once you mull it over and get a bit of exposure to her as a person... WHHOOOMPH
Smacks you like a sledgehammer.
I mean every guy is different some guys are shy around pretty girls some guys will automatically pursue a pretty girl, most guys just glance some stare but I would say you could very pretty and many guys won't say anything to you about it because they are kind of intimidated and think you are out of their league even many guys most girls think are attractive.
Guys stare at me but i dont assume its because they find me attractive.. and i dont believe people when they tell me im pretty I don't know why.. i dont see what they see. Unfortunately, I've noticed and seen guys treat pretty girls differently, they’re nicer to them and thats a fact.
Most guys will notice you.
If you don't get told you're pretty, it doesn't usually mean anything. Sometimes it means others are jealous.
Don't worry!
That's very subjective. I'm drawn to who she is first. If she's a horrible person it doesn't matter at all what she looks like.
I've been attracted to women with red, blonde and black hair, short and tall, small or big breasts but personality counts a 1000 percent more.
That's the thing, you don't really know, but pretty is all about perspective, pretty can mean something different to anyone and everyone, some people think goth girls are pretty, some people like preppy girls, etc. But if you want a generalization, societal definition
To me, I am attractive when I feel like I am attractive. So if I look in the mirror and see something positive about myself then my confidence goes up slightly and that makes me feel more attractive. I don’t get many compliments from guys if I am honest but when my girlfriends give me compliments I always feel more confident. I understand some people might not agree with what I’m saying but this isn’t just my personal opinion on myself
You get a fuck ton of attention. Guys and girls. People act weird around you. Drop stuff, stutter etc...
I think it's the most obvious when women openly comment on the way you look, in a negative way. That's because we women have all learnt that it's impolite to make mean comments about someone else's look, but since "she's pretty" it won't hurt her.
guys stare at me? nope. I don't beleive iam pretty or that the people around me think iam.i also believe guys do treat girls different if they are pretty I seen it so many times happen
A pretty person doesn't have to be told their pretty to be pretty. I honestly think that everyone, no matter who you are, can make them selves look beautiful, so I'm sure you are as well <3
Sweet girl, you pretty cause everyone pretty in their own way and you don't have to wait for people to say you pretty to know you pretty ok
Being pretty matters about how you feel about yourself. Not about how many times people compliment your appearance.
If you are pretty, you will get genuine compleiments. I don't know if there is anything more than that.
because they don't look at you consistently and when someone actually does, they overly react to your beauty.
Getting a shit ton of compliments and love fucking requests, that you can turn them down cause you get so many. Finally choose the best one for you, yeah, you pretty much sorted for life with looks.
Everyone is pretty to someone. I know that sounds cliche, but it is nonetheless fact.
I mean people usually just tell me or I hear through a friend that someone was talking about how pretty I am so I guess that means I’m pretty?
I know i am an ugly ass.. person... i know i will die a virgin... single...
but i have One hell of Friends and they make my life amazing...
Personally I treat pretty girls the same as all girls. But I make more jokes around pretty girls. But never lose your confidence, it will only drag you down
You will be beautiful to some people but ugly to others :)
You know you are because you were perfectly made. Most "pretty people" have low self esteem.
Girls who are truly pretty know that they are at a pretty young age.
If you don't know that you're extremely attractive you probably aren't. The treatment you get will be tremendously different.
I never even thought about it coz I love to see other beauties n I appreciate beautiful people according to me not by majority.
Many guys stare and want to touch but very little talk to you, that means that you are out of their league.
This is how you know you are pretty,
Everyone's pretty. It's important to understand that.
People tell you so and give you stuff for free or do special things for you.
So many questions.
Use the mirror girl. Women are always pretty with the right make up
When you feel pretty. Fuck what other people think. You're opinion matters most.
