I have noticed that when I am happy, I get hit on A LOT. It's just attractive when someone is happy, and other people respond. Looks is part of it, but not all of it.

This helps clarify the fact that the hitting-on comes from people you are in no way attracted to, and that it often has a predatory undertone.
Uhh........what?

Completely understand.

I get hit on a lot when I am happy with myself.

However, 90% of the guys I get hit on are not datable.

Why not ? Are they insecure that you know more about cars than them.

There was a link from Reddit that asked this same question. It began something like...

"As a guy, I wanted to know what it was like to be a woman on a dating site"

The results were very scary.

Interested souls can search the 'net for the results (hint: he shut down 'her' OLD profile in two hours).

We could all do better to try and understand where the other gender is coming from, objectively. There are things that men have trouble understanding about life as a woman, and definitely vice versa. So Nila's post was an analogy created to help in that regard. Does that make sense?

I saw that. I'm pretty tempted to call bs on it though. He couldn't put up with a few dozen messages? Any adult in a corporate environment doesn't this all day, and those are a lot less amiable than people who want to have sex with you, even if they're rude about it.

9 and 10s less so because they are intimidating.

I actually find the very very attractive women more friendly, I think its because they get hit on less.
I think this is an urban legend!

Why would a guy be insecure about that? I find that attractive in a woman.
