Why am I treated with utter apathy by guys?
6 Comments

Ok, i'm 19 next month, i've never had a boyfriend, the thing that worries me though is that i've never been told i'm attractive or pretty by any guy, excluding drunken old men whilst i'm at work.

I don't consider myself to be that unattractive, i'm around 5'7", size 14, 36D, shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes, fairly tanned and i've got a fairly round face. I wear surf branded clothes, t shirts & jeans, that sort of thing. I weigh just under 12st, so yeah, i'm fairly fat; but i'm going to the gym every night, and playing semi-professional tennis to change this. I'm fairly clever and quiet, however if somebody makes an effort to talk to me i'll quite happily chat back to them.

The guy i last went after as a romantic pursuit ended up my best friend, however nothing romantic ever happened between us, its just started to make me wonder, am i really that unattractive?
Do you think it's normal?

Totally understand where you coming from, been in relationships myself and can barely remember anytime at all where they said im good looking lol, some people just dont give compliments to people u know? At the end of the day...confidance, good self esteem will go so much further.....take care :)

The question seems a bit shallow but...if you want to get an idea research facial symmetry online. Studies show that people who have symmetrical faces, especially the eyes, tend to be more attractive to those that don't.

Looks don't really matter that much though, it helps with initial attraction but what counts is your personality.

Your only 19! You shouldn't be worrying about this really. Just go to college and maybe you will find someone, but focus on your education.

Go to the gym before breakfast. That helped me when I was a little chubby. It burns the calories that you haven't eaten yet. But I know how you feel. The world is a shallow place to be honest. Don't let it get you down.
