    I am just an average chubby mom.
    Like hell you are. . . :)
    It is the Ginger vs MaryAnn thing....
    Good point, Possibly, but I think Dawn Wells was more conventionally attractive than Tina Louise-- at least by today's standards.

    I think though there's something to be said about the stereotype that vapidness is directly proportional to physical "hotness"

    Hot is so overrated in my book.

    Nobody said you had to "keep" them. Just make out with them a bit and move on lol.

    40s? Don't look that age. Must be lying. Yeah, you're lying. Totally lying. Unless you're serious?

    Yeah I think it's more to do with 'punching out of your league' syndrome.
    Most of us guys are shy and realistic.
    As someone else mentioned earlier, in my younger single days if I saw a hot girl, I would approach their friends first and hope it leads to an intro. Yeah lame but we are just mere males.

    Yes, I will be 42 this year, and I have a 22 year old daughter and a grandbaby! Crazy, huh? Where did the time go!

    This all leaves those of us who practically never have men approach them and hardly know what flirting is in a frustrating position wondering and not knowing if we're one of the below average or one of the intimidating ones. :S

    I think women who are more accustomed to being flirted with handle it better, manage men more easily, and therefore aren't as vocal about it.

    I think this is it right here. I have a lot of guy friends, don't get hit on much at all, they say they say the same thing. I also think it's environmental, different cities/cultures/places/areas tend to go for different looks, I am curvy and when I say curvy I mean, I am not fat, but a lot of guys in my circles like the thin, waif, indie/alt girls...so yeah. Things can be not cut and dry neccessarily. I haven't always had blue hair, I had blonde it was still the same then. Good thing women don't need men to tell them if they are beautiful or not.

    10/10 would flirt with a space person covered in marmite.

    So deeply disappointed.

    01/10 would not touch your marmite, on a desert island, starving.

    :Hmm. .. aren't you?

    I wouldn't think a 5'2 half pink haired woman would be, but maybe? I hope not.

    Happy medium, I suppose. But I like your hair, so my opinion isn't quite objective.

    I don't get hit on much, and never IRL, but I'm pretty sure I have a pretty epic case of resting b!tchface.

    I will answer this as my much younger, better looking, self. I was told I was "striking" . Tall, blonde, yada yada. However, I rarely got hit on. Ever. The only people that would hit on me were creepy old dudes or random weirdos just pulling off the side of the road or something to say how pretty I was and then l leave. Rarely anything resembling a normal conversation or approach at all. I had a huge complex about it for years. I thought because I was tall and not a size 4, I must be too fat still so that is why no one asks me out. Now I look back on it and see it differently. It was more because I was too busy worrying I wasn't good enough I was shy and that made me come off as stuck up. I even heard that later on, everyone that I was.

    Anyways, just a little perspective. Don't be afraid of tall, blonde quiet girls, they are probably more insecure then you think!
  • Due to the fact that I rarely get hit on in person, I would like to think that I'm quite the hotness....


    Or quite average? :embarassed:

    It also depends on your behavior. Besides, not all women realize they're being hit on.

    For instance I consider myself very average looking but people always tell me that I attract alot of attention. I'm shy and not very outgoing but for some reason I always seem to attract men. Some people just have that thing that no matter how unattractive they are or average looking, there is an aura about them that you're just drawn to.

    Which do you think occurs more often?

    I have seen a lot of threads about flirting and I have noticed that there are a lot of average looking girls complaining about how they are being hit on etc


    I have asked two of my lady friends how often they are being hit on and I got two different responses. One said it happens frequently, while the other one said that it hardly happens at all. But what surprised me was the fact that the Hottie said it hardly happens. My other friend is cute, but she wouldn't stand out in a crowd as much as the other one, BUT, she is more sociable, so that might be the reason why?


    Or maybe guys flirt within their league? What is going on?

    i hardly ever get flirted with... result! :laugh:

    What if the hot girl just doesn't go out a lot?

    If she doesn't go out as much as "average cute girl," she won't have as many opportunities to be hit on.
