I might have a hard time asking this, since it's mostly an objective opinion. But how common do "pretty" girls tend to be? I'm not talking about too pretty, but just pretty enough to be noticed by the average guy on the street. I'm worried that even not "too pretty" but just "pretty enough" girls are not attracted to me. I had my first girlfriend, and while I actually loved her, I wouldn't imagine the average guy on the street will take some notice at least. Besides, she was very anxious and a little obsessive. I'm worried that these girls won't be attracted to me because I speak, act a little "different" than the average person.

But again, relationships are not just looks, personality is just as important. But in my opinion, if I'm not physically attracted to somebody's looks, the relationship will not work out very easy. If these girls I describe aren't on the table for me, I might as well not be in any relationship. Sad.

Women are individuals. People. With individual thoughts, and preferences, and desires. You want to find out if a girl is "on the table", then talk to her and find out.

Like you said, beauty is subjective, so that is a very hard question to answer. I'm not sure how you'd expect anyone else to come up with a better answer than you could. All I can speak from is my own observations.

In places like CBDs and universities, they appear to be pretty common. Less so on dating sites (except maybe Tinder).

If you're worried that the girls you're attracted to won't also be attracted to you, you may need to do more to maximise your attractiveness. I don't know what you look like, but if you're a 3 and you're only interested in 6s or 7s, you're not going to be in for an easy time.

They're on my table, stripping for me.

Don't forget education, job and financial situation. These are also very important. Especially if you want a long lasting relationship.

Surely you can work this out for yourself by walking around the place and seeing how many women strike you as, by your understanding, 'pretty'? I mean, don't stare or anything, but as you go about your world, make a conscious effort to notice all the women you pass, and keep a mental tally of the number you find attractive.

I've seen this a few times around here. I suppost it's more common than I'd care to think, as it just boggles my mind. The woman as an object to provoke jealousy in one's peers, perhaps complementing one's flash watch and car. 'Yeah, I loved her, but it's not like she'd have sent my friends green with envy'. ffs.

It's mostly the haircut and shirt that don't look good in that picture...I think hair with a bit more length, doesn't have to be long though that certainly wouldn't look bad but at least enough to run your fingers through. Then again it might just need to be trimmed correctly since in that pic it kind of looks like your friend who's not very good at buzzing hair was practicing on you.

And the shirt, I mean it looks like you've worn it for days though could just be that worn out...if that is what you wear in public or on dating site pictures I can see girls being turned off by it. If you're stuck on the shirts with button up collars probably might want to fasten at least some of the buttons to...otherwise a regular t-shirt is much better. You don't want to look like you just sloppily threw something on unless you're trying to keep people away.

You've got some strong basics there in your mouth and eyes.

I think Sweetleaf has it about right. Do something with your hair - at least, grow it a little so you can do something with it. Go for a smarter version of how you dress. And try and take photos outside (better yet if there's someone to take them for you). I find natural light much kinder, and makes for a friendlier picture.

What's wrong with a polo shirt?

Is that the type of shirt in the picture? If so its more that it looks worn out and the button collar part is all stretched out not that it's a polo shirt...also whilst I think a few of the buttons undone is fine, all of them undone just leaves excess floppy cloth hanging off the shirt which only contributes to the stretched out/worn appearance. Either that one needs washed maybe ironed, or it should be de-moted to pajama shirt or tossed out.

I wear polo shirts pretty much exclusively. Usually a nice, rich purple, or a lavender colour. Buttoned up, of course. Polo shirt hate makes me feel sad.

This is a pattern I notice when a single guy asks for dating advice:
People of a totally different fashion taste, will find everything mainstream the guy in question is wearing as ugly/negative; including haircut.

I mean, Sweeleaft is a metalhead, so of course she won't find short hairs and polo shirts sexy, she rather prefer spiky/long hairs and black skull shirts.
While Hopper sounds somehow similar, probably he's of the artistic side.

Come on, the problem is not in his polo shirt or haircut....no, the girls of the general population aren't "running away" from him because of his regular polo shirt or hair.

The real problem is because he's a regular looking guy with no social life and competing with ####### regular looking guys over few ### girls on dating sites, that is where lies the real problem.

His narrow taste in beauty is a problem too.

While I think he's a cut above regular looking - I envy him his mouth and eyes (and the none-receeding hairline, come to that!) - I sort of agree.

I try and give vague generic advice as to how I see generic/at-large men of his age dressing, otherwise I'd be recommending everyone dress like me. 'Be you, only make sure you're presentable' is about all there is to say to the paucity of information so far. So much depends on who he is, who he wants to be, what he wants etc.

You're not a bad-looking dude. The hairstyle and shirt are both pretty generic. You could probably go for something more interesting/modern for each, but not doing so won't kill your chances of ever finding love. I would recommend wearing something a bit more snazzy on a date though. I think the stubble works on you.

I don't think a picture like this would gain much traction on dating sites. Your facial expression is neutral/kinda disinterested. A slightly more animated facial expression would make for a better picture imo. Also, the picture doesn't communicate much about you. It kinda gives me the impression that you're taking a picture for the sake of taking a picture rather than showcasing your life, if you know what I mean.

Overall, as I've said before, I think your biggest obstacles as far as a relationship is concerned are your living situation and your employment situation. Once you sort those out, and you're able to put yourself out there a bit more, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to find a partner.
