She's exactly right: boys prefer it, but men won't tolerate that BS.

Agreed. And when I was a boy, I didn't put up with it then either.

I notice you referenced boyfriends in plural. They come and they go? Do you think that will work for women who want someone who is going to stay?

Actually They stick around if you remain a little less than keen,e.g a guy I had been ignoring for months wouldn't leave me alone hi everyday etc,after he read my diary which was nothing but declarations of love for him he ran for the hills.
Guys like the pursuit and the pursuit means being a bit cold and mean,but yeah I agree that it's something you grow out of.
And frankly I was not doing it on purpose I was just a bit anxious about the whole thing.

I don't think George Clooney would have married Amal if she had been kind and keen he specifically chose her out of the zillions of women he could have had,because she snubbed him many times sparking his curiosity.

Well I LOVE!!!! The chase or pursuit as you put it, but if she's daft enough to play hard to get in effect by being mean ( it's obvious if it's genuinely being mean or just to " keep you coming " ) then I'd leave her to it and say " ta ta ".......... And most of the other blokes on the planet wouldn't put up with it either

Unless of course they didn't have any other options......

Really? I NEVER, EVER see this. EVER.

One is significantly more beautiful in the face, and absolutely no one would call her ugly; her personality isn't terrible either, it's very down to earth, and she's sweet to you.

The other has a significant amount in common with you (such as you share a common hobby or two) and is well-traveled, well-read, etc. for her age. Her face isn't horrid, but definitely not beautiful. She's rather calm and kind also.

If these two girls were competing for the same guy (you), what would the "less attractive" one have to do to win you over? (For long-term love).

I find myself in this position a lot...as the unattractive one.

I'm not asking about a specific guy or whining, but rather, asking for tips and ideas that might help me "compete" with prettier women my same age.

I know that the usual advice is "work out, makeup, hair, dress nice", however, those things can only do so much when your unattractiveness lies in genetic factors, like having a huge nose.

Thanks in advance for your advice. I appreciate honesty above all; that's always more useful.
either belong to his religion or otherwise be a great lover.

I'm sure most, if not all, women here have been approached, and or been flirted with at least once in their life?
