I usually consider three reasons

1.) Bat s**t crazy

2.) Looking for a quick confidence boost

3.) Fake profile

It's easy to determine whether a pic is fake or not by using this:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nflm?hl=en


Also 1 pic = 99% possibility it's fake, 2 pics and more = Much more likely genuine. The content of profile tells much too.

That's why they're single. Guys are all thinking like you are.


I don't see guys avoid gorgeous girls in real life, not at all.


Exactly. Soccer. I think some people should try talking to people without bothering about their appearance so much. A pretty girl can terrify most men.


Really? Why?

I don't think a pretty girl can terrify most men.

It's the drop-dead gorgeous that would terrifies most men, but yea, the more good-looking the girl the more I see guys hesitate approaching her - and for a very logical reason: they know that she would have plenty of suitors, too much competition and the more choices she has then the higher standards she can set.

Hence why guys get the "she's out of my league" feeling.

Ok, I never really thought about it that guys would have more trouble approaching a very uniquely gorgeous woman.

Because those of us who actually use our real brains realize that women are far more complex. By far, most men tend to be very direct, but women often phrase things like questions, and then get ticked when we don't give them an answer they like. Here's a classic example...

"Honey, would you like to take out the trash?"

What sense does this make? No one actually enjoys taking out the trash, any more than cleaning the toilet or vacuuming the floor. Throw in the passive-aggressive tone many women usually have with such a question, and the average man knows he's already screwed (not in the good way). If you want a man to do something for you, ask him straight out. If he's paying attention and still says no, drop it.

Here's a secret, ladies... we don't like being manipulated any more than you do.

Some men do chat up beautiful women, but there seems to be another category of men that look at a beautiful woman and back away and don't even try. They make instant assumptions about her. Their reasoning goes like this:

"She's so beautiful that she probably wants a man who is conventionally handsome. I'm not conventionally handsome. So she wouldn't want me."

Then they think:

"Even if she did want me, our relationship would be very stressful and worrying for me, because there would be men flocking around her all the time, and I would be in constant danger of losing her."

Because men do this, a lot of beautiful women complain that they can't find a nice genuine guy to be with.

I really don't know why men do this to themselves. Just because she is beautiful doesn't mean she is a superficial bimbo incapable of being faithful and devoid of a soul. If a beautiful woman were in love with you and there were men flocking around her all the time trying to whisk her away, she might just tell them to get lost. Ever think of that? :roll:

For crying out loud, it's not manipulation. They do it because it's rude to just order another adult to do stuff.

^ Agree with Who_Am_I.

Personally, I don't think I've ever in my life asked a man "would you like to do XYZ for me?" Rather, I would say to him: "please would you do XYZ for me?"

That's assuming the thing I'm asking him to do is not particularly enjoyable. If it's something nice (such as finishing the remains of my chocolate bar) I certainly might say: "would you like to finish this chocolate bar for me?" because I'm sure he would. :lol:

I knew a girl like that in high school. She was shier even than I was. She never went on a single date. Guys were either too terrified to approach her or simply wanted her for her looks. Nobody ever looked past her looks to the person she was inside - nobody was interested. My cousin and I were the only friends she had because we were the only two who didn't want anything from her. The other girls were either calling her a stuck up b*tch or making racist comments to her. A few thought she might become one of the popular girls, so they tried to use her to increase their social status.

She went to college and found it even worse. She turned to online dating without using a profile picture - so that way she could be sure. After 9 months if chatting and emailing one guy they finally met up. They've been together ever since, and last I heard, just got engaged.

So if they're not using a profile picture I would assume it's because they want someone to like them for them. Some women assume they won't get any messages without a picture - and therefore include one for that reason.

You don't have to insist someone do something, but playing with their emotions over it isn't cool either. Just ask nicely, and respect their decision. If its something you physically can't do yourself, most wouldn't have a problem helping.
