Okay so I know a girl who is average looking. She is slightly overweight, has a bunch of emotional baggage and kind of puts down everyone around her. But she SLAYS when it comes to the guys. She has so much game, I don’t even understand it. Guys give her 100% of their attention and they follow through and ask to date her. She gets whole relationships but since she’s kind of a jerk, they never last 😂 But she’s always the one that does the breaking up!
Then there’s my friend who has at least 2 or 3 strangers tell her everyday how “gorgeous” she is. I catch guys staring at her all the time and they look away whenever she looks at them. Guys fumble over their words when she asks them simple questions. She’s even been offered modeling contracts! No question, she is one of the most beautiful people I know. And she doesn’t wear a pinch of makeup. She loves exercising so her body is amazing, she’s super active, she’s crazy smart (aspiring med student) BUT she’s never had an official long term relationship. Guys never even ask her out. Sometimes guys fully ignore her in groups. It’s almost like they’re trying to be too cool or something. She really wants a relationship and when no guys make a move it really discourages her. Sometimes she’ll initiate and make the first move, but it never turns out well. I feel so bad for her!
I am so confused! How does that average-looking, jerk of a girl have so much success with guys while my friend is on the struggle bus? I guess my question for single guys out there is: is there such a thing as being too attractive? Like are guys intimidated to just ask her out?
