A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I wanted to ask guys what attracts you to a woman? I am not a typical girl i am 6 foot tall, alternative looking, pierced and tattooed but i wear small jewellery in them. I have 3 in my lip and 2 in my nose. I have auburn hair its shoulder length and wavy. I wear glasses. i am slender with small breasts a tiny waste big hips and long long legs. I have huge blue eyes. I am an anime fan, a musician, a lover of art and the English language. Despite my appearance i have an IQ of 145. I don't look scruffy and i always wear clothes that fit. I am a bit of a tom boy in attitude and i have lots of male friends. I am very out going but i have a romantic centre. I care for my friends and family and i am willing to help anyone. I have nice features a small face large full lips and a small nose. The reason i am telling you this is because i feel like i am missing something, guys never seem to look at me even though my friends tell me i am attractive and i have a good personality, i am never paid attention to by guys and if i am its for nothing more than sex. It seems that i am lacking something. I asked a friend once who said he thought he said i was "probably his most attractive female friend he had but i was the scariest chick he knew" lol When i asked him what he meant he said well no one would mess with you. Im not sue what that is supposed to mean. I am considering changing my image i would really like to meet a person who didn't find me intimidating and i wonder if what i dress like is a huge factor in this.

Well thanks guys. I did change my image in the end.. Nothing too drastic i fine people treat me with a little more respect now. I think before my image caused me to be perceived as much younger than i am. Code, As for my love of anime it is mostly that i feel people won't be interested. Im not ashamed of anything im interested in, it makes me who i am. Thanks for all your advice and critique. x

2old4this agony auntI think you are just a whiney baby!!! I'm just kidding, that was supposed to make you laugh. I think Code is right. Just a change of surroundings may help.

ok im sorry it took me so long to reply to this. Thank you to code warrior your answer was helpful and articulate. I would like to state the way i dress is kind of a family thing. I come from a family of rockers. My dad is an ex punk rock d.j my mum is a Goth and my brother looks like a skater boy lol. I am the most toned down of them all. The reason my friend said i was the "scariest chick he knew" is because im tall and out going and i look like could kick your ass (even though i never fight). I am attracted to people who dress like me but not just people who dress like me. I like a man with style what ever style it is as long as they look comfortable in it. As for my love of anime i do love it and comic books too but it don't really talk about it its just one of those things im in too as are a whole bunch of my friends. I don't know i guess im just wondering what has failed me in the past.

You sound like my type of gal. My girl is very much like you, but she isn't as tall as you and I think that makes her less intimidating. I think your style is your style and thats cool. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to tone it back a little. But, being tattooed and pierced is not that different anymore. Have you seen LA INK? Kat Vondi (If thats how you spell it) Is considered to be one of the hottest women in America right now. There are guys out there who really like your style, but I would say it's because you are really attractive that intimidates guys more. Put yourself out there more and maybe soften your looks just a bit and see what happens.

Maybe it does since clothing should reflect who you are on the inside ( maybe a little bit ). But at the core a good relationship connects and lasts because of good personalities, not really "looks". Maybe you could tone it down a bit but nothing too drastic lols. Or maybe try drastic and see how that works. Who knows, you have a lot going on for you, it wont hurt to experiment a little. After all the biggest thing that stood out for me was "anime fan", so it goes with the type of guys you want to meet as well.
