I know why he's going after the hottest girl, but I don't believe he's repulsed (as he said) by anyone but the very hottest one.

Meh, maybe I shouldn't be too hard on him, he is still an average kid with the "high school boy" mentality. Go figure.
I think that's unfair.

Nobody falls for someone he's not attracted to. Nobody. Because then you'd be courting a friend, not a lover.

Attraction isn't only developed through looks. I consider my ex cute, but not drop dead gorgeous. What attracted me was her personality.

So my message to the OP is to keep your options open.

Yes, some girls may be more physically attractive. Though, you have to keep in mind that many of them know they're 10s and don't always have the sweetest personality because their looks compensate (). Of course, there are exceptions...

Conversely, average looking girls (ones that you may look past) may have winning personalities that can captivate you. Though, you won't have the chance to be won over unless you give them a chance.

The way I see it, there are girls that I find very attractive, girls that I find repulsive, and girls that are neither. Depending on their personality, I would date girls that I find very attractive or neither.

Should I go after the less attractive ones? But, I don't really like them...

A lot of my friends have had relationships but only a few of them had it with attractive girls. I'm not trying to be superficial, but I just feel repulsed by unattractive girls... Did any of you succeed in dating attractive girls or did you have to lower your standards?
i think you must try be attractive if u meet the girls, dont be rigid..
and your basic problem maybe is how to show up when u meet a pretty girl..
dont be cool,relax and trying to talk with, just be a normal

You've probably noticed by now that everyone has an opinion. Question is, have you learned anything? It simply boils down to whether you want to date women or not. The pretty ones don't seem to be interested in you, so either you lower your standards or you continue on through life with not dates. Maybe you also need to change your opinion of yourself. The pretty women you try to date, don't see you, as you see yourself. Why is that? To shed some light on your last question: yes, I've dated beautiful women and the woman I married is probably above average in looks. Many of the really beautiful women, know it, and are holding out for someone of their choosing, who is either very attractive, or very rich. Some of the really beautiful women you see wouldn't make very good wives, but may impress your friends.

Always focus on FACE which is the starting point. I don't see how anyone can be with someone if they are not attracted to the face.

it's not the only attractive part though.

a woman could have a nice face, then a smoking body, or vice versa.

Not trying to sound condescending but -------

When you went after the hot-looking girls did you really think they were going to instantly be attracted to you? I mean, were you the athletic type that excelled at Sports, a wealthy dude, or a tall, handsome stud?????

If not then you probably would have been better off going for the average girls. Average doesn't always mean unattractive!!!!!!!

Hot girls know they're hot and are usually high-maintainance. Average guys usually don't stand a chance with them unless they possess some kind of special charm that woos the ladies.

Trust me - I've been there. I have played the hot ladies and most of them are good for 1-night stand kind of relationships. If you want something more long-term then look past the looks and develop a relationship with someone that is caring, sensitive and wants a commitment!!!!!!!

Yes, I think you should consider either a bag lady or a meth addict.
