tux agony auntThere is a saying where I come from... Pot meet Kettle.. It sounds like you are doing the same as these "hot" guys.. You are basing things just by how they look.. They are overlooking you just as you are overlooking others. I'm not saying you should set your standards low, but consider more than them being "hot."

and if the "hot" guys are chasing after the skinny girls, then I doubt they are really looking for anything more than a trophy unless they happen to like their personality as well.. Just be patient, you are still young and things will fall into place.

A guy did flirt with you, so some do like you. And any guy who judges you because of your figure isn't worth bothering about anyway. I don't find skinny girls interesting whatsoever, so enojoy those curves, have more confidence in yourself and the right guy will come along.

I'm skinny and I get no attention from guys. I actually wish I was curvy. In my opinion it's far more feminine.

It depends on the guy who they're attracted to obviously. But if they had a choice between someone who was stick-insecty thin and someone who had a little more 'padding' then I reckon the majority would choose the latter.

Some guys won't find you attractive none the less. But for every guy that doesn't there's someone that will think you're hot stuff! So don't worry about it. Looks aren't that important in the end. Be yourself and it won't matter what you look like.

Good Luck. xxx

Most guys actually don't prefer skinny girls at all! It's funny that lots of women/young girls think men prefer girls who are thin, but guys love girls that come in all shapes and sizes so celebrate what you have, and like satindesire said - if this guy was clearly flirting with you then obviously people do find you attractive.. so embrace it!

well first off coming from a guys perspective skinny girls are NOT someone a guy wants to be exclusive with, its weird when you take them out and all they eat is a salad or water, its just weird! lol but to be serious, the whole perfect girl is "dumb as a rock and weighs next to nothing" is an image set by the media and is basically mistaken as the image that men want. I say men because boys will follow the "fad". right now it might seem like boys are all that matter but all they want or think about is what girl will make them popular or give them "street credit". they don't matter as much as you think. but if there's someone special your thinkin about than just start out with a conversation. if he won't even do that then he is immature and doesn't deserve you, and is not worth giving a second thought. now as far as overlooking some boys, dont set your standards high. try to find someone you enjoy being around with and can make you smile. cuz if they can't make you happy then what's the point of being with anybody right now? think about it and best of luck ;)

ok 1) why are you dismissing some boys as long as they have some attraction to them and they are a nice guy they are worthwhile your time 2) not all guys like skinny girls, they like them for their personality and looks... well the decent ones anyway so if a guy is only interested in skinny girls they aren't really worth it are they because they are just going for looks, i am not a skinny girl at size 12 and i am 15 and i have a guy who likes me because of my personality. you just have to have some attraction to you, and if you are sending of signals like i am only interested in hot guys then people are going to get put off. hope this helps

Maybe the guys you dismiss are thinking the same thing about you. Did you ever consider that? Why are you only interested in the "hot" guys, and are not willing to give the not so hot guys a chance and get to know them a bit before you judge them?
