Nah, attractive females always have attractive boyfriends.
Why wouldnt they ?, they have tons of guys who want to get with them so why settle for less ?
I know this is superficial, but it is also the hard truth.

Also bull. Unless you mean a lot more by attractive than
mere physical appearance - like money, arrogance,
and other such attributes. I've seen a lot of really
attractive women with guys that seem way out
of their league.


I never see attractive women with less good looking guys.
Maybe we live in different places, but the women that i see here are all like that.

Doesn't it just suck when people do that? Like we can't figure out that it's either pity or a prank.

Dear NTs: Either include us or don't, but don't patronize us. Please.


The worst part is, the person or persons most likely to have done it were probably trying to boost my ego - apparently not realising that when the truth finally came out, I'd be even more crushed and miserable because I'd feel like I had been treated like an object of pity.

Even if it wasn't a joke, asking me to recognise subtle signs is like asking a man who's been blind since birth to describe the Union flag...

I don't attract anyone, and frankly I'm glad. I wouldn't know what to do if someone liked me.

I try not to be too superficial by setting my standards too high. But personality-wise the people I run into are the opposite.

Ironically, they repel me while I attract them.


From what I've observed, the usual reason for something like this happening is that you're more at ease around the people you're not attracted to. They get to see more of the real you than the people you are attracted to, who see the nervous, self conscious you.

The trick is to act like you do when you aren't attracted to someone around the person you are attracted to. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to do this yet. It sounds so simple in theory...
