Is there something wrong with me?

Many guys go for looks, but soon leave because their interest was shallow all along. I'm a pretty girl with an immune disability and these shallow types drive me crazy.

Being "unpretty" has its advantages. Men won't use you. Only pure men will hover.

As for weird guys, we all get them. We live in a corrupt society.

I am sure that you are seen in a different light Many of us feel that we look inadequate (myself included) and it is simply that we have not met the right person yet. Maybe the right person is there, he just hasn't expressed that yet. You shouldn't worry about how you look, because there will be someone who finds you attractive, who loves you as you are. There's nothing wrong with you, and there's nothing wrong with feeling anxious or worries about the fact that there's no-one there. Judging from your pic, there's no way that someone wouldn't consider you attractive You deserve someone who loves you as you are, someone who sees your beauty Keep praying that God will guide him to you and in His time, that guy will appear in your life

I think a lot of people wish they were prettier cos of [insert particular physical insecurities here]. Heck, I could give you a list of the things I'd change about myself.

But when looking for a boyfriend... I dont think it matters what you look like. This is gonna sound like SUCH a cliche, but the guy who is right for you will love you for who you are. He won't wish 'I wish she had nicer hair' or whatever... Or he won't like you just cos of your physical appearance. Who wants a guy like that anyway? God has got someone planned for you - he REALLY HAS - someone who will be just right for you.

You're young. You've got lots of time.

Oh, and I looked at your user pic, and you're pretty anyways, in my eyes.

*hug*

You may find it hard to believe, but there are guys out there who love a woman for who she is, not because of the way she looks. I admit though, such guys are a dying breed...sigh...I'm soon to be part of an endangered species. Love4Jesus, you look great! You will find that special someone

WE live in a corrupted society indeed. But there are the brave ones that make exceptions. It is true guys talk to pretty women, they are attracted to them, just like girls talk to handsome guys. I don't see anything wrong there, but I do see a problem when they only talk to pretty people.

Our eyes are the first judges on human contact, so before any guy could get to know you he will first take a look at your looks. I can't judge from a picture but looking at your you're fine. I'm sure is not the best shot, but you are not ugly at all.

You are the kind of guy that loves a woman for who she is and not only for what she looks like? Doesn't her physical appearance have anything do with your love for her? Could you accept that she is not the most beautiful woman in the world? Sorry for all these questions. I think it is great if you love a woman for who she is because her heart is more precious then her beauty. It was God who said, "Your is where your treasure is." You are blessed and you will be a blessing to the one you marry one day.

Yes, who she is is far important. I wouldn't love her just because of her physical appearance. There would be no real depth to such a relationship. I could accept that she isn't the most beautiful girl in the world. She would have the most beautiful heart in the world and that's what counts

Why do I feel that I cannot get a boyfriend because I am not pretty? I keep telling myself that if I lost weight, got my scars removed, if I had bigger breasts, normal hearing, no mole on my neck, and nice hair someone would like me. All the wrong guys like me, guys that are weird. I don't know why I feel that a lot of guys only like girls for their beauty.

Like London Boy said, judging by your picture, I don't think it would be your looks at all that would turn a guy off. A lot of it has to do with statistical probability. How many new men do you meet on a weekly basis? If it's less than 10 a week, then it's not likely that you're going to run into someone who will click with you by chance alone. I met probably 200 girls in college, and I only really clicked with three or four of them. The rest of them seemed to have major anal issues. It's probably the same way with men.

Might I ask you...what do you mean about "weird guys?" I would consider myself "weird." I put my focus on serving God and producing films; thus I don't pay attention to a lot of things that a lot of guys do (ie. getting their hair just 'perfect,' wearing stylish clothes, etc.) I've got offbeat eating habits in that I want to keep my body healthy (thus, no sugar or white bread...I take the buns off the hamburger and pass on the dessert). Oh boy does that make me look strange.
I am also a truly genuine and frank person. Often people don't want to hear the truth but a "candy coated" truth. This is another "weird" quality.
I think about things differently than other people. I've got a very pointillistic black and white philosophy on things, and that tends to bother people because it evidently violates the way they typically approach ideas. Again, very weird. I take a lot of risks, end up falling on my face in front of people (in some cases, literally), and know not to do it next time. Weeeeeeeird.

Are those unattractive qualities to you? If they are, then you might be looking for a "normal" guy that doesn't really exist. What is your definition of weird?

Another possibility is that a lot of men become really strange when they approach a woman because it is an uncomfortable situation. I've been in several instances where a woman passed me off because I don't act or look like Brad Pitt around her. I'm just kooky old me. I think you really have to be ready to try lots of different things.

Very powerful testimony on your website.

I agree. Great testimony!

You know, after careful consideration, my opinion is that perhaps your just going through a phase.

Hey, you're only nineteen! When I was that age, I didn't like that much about myself. Friends thought I had good confidence, but it was just an act. From the words you've written down, you sound like a good girl, with a good heart and head. I'm sure/know there are plenty of guys out there who are attracted to that. Heck, I'm one of them, who admire those qualities.

As for looks, in the long run, they're not that important. They will fade. But what's in the mind and heart is what will stay, despite the aging process. If I had to live with someone for fifty years (and raise children with), I'd rather someone who wasn't conventionally attractive, but who I could have a conversation and connect with. As opposed to someone who was model gorgeous but as shallow as a baby pool and as dumb as a door nail.

But I have to say, I agree with other people here. Your not an ugly girl. Quite the opposite, from your photo. Trust me, at uni I had a serious crush on a girl who looked quite a bit like you. She didn't talk to anyone much (though she did have a few friends). Some interpreted that as her being stuck up, but it was more to do with her being shy I think (and from other accounts). I never managed to talk to her beyond a few mundane and general words because I was scared that I wasn't good enough for her. I found her intimidating (and she wasn't a tough girl at all). It's most probably the same in your case. I bet there's some great blokes out there who want to talk to you but just don't know what to say. Most probably, some are those odd ones that you mentioned. When guys like a girl, they can be very strange.

But hold your chin up. There's nothing wrong with you at all. As others have said, you seem to be an attractive person, both inside and out.

Thank you everyone! Yes, I do have physical insecurities because I am half-deaf, I have thick curly hair, scars from past injuries, an ugly mole on my neck, and I am not thin with big breasts. I hope I don't mess up when I do find the right guy because of past hurts. :

I think thick, curly hair is pretty. And, who wants bigger breasts than they already have?! They'll only sag when you get older!

If you really hate your mole, you can get it removed. I had one removed on my back so I wouldn't have to worry about it, and it really didn't hurt.

I also have a lot of scars, only mine are acne scars. They do cause a lot of insecurity, and I'm sorry you have to deal with that type of thing too.

I can relate to you about past hurts. I've been abused, and I have bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and I had major depressive disorder since I was thirteen. My fiance loves me, and he is perfectly able to deal with all my issues (we're getting married in 17 days, yea!!). My ex fiance, though, was a real jerk, and he obviously is an ex fiance for a reason. You will find a guy who is able to love you.

God bless,
Kayli

sweetie, I feel the same way about myself. But, I have seen your picture and you are super beautiful. You are like exotically beautiful. Maybe God is protecting you until you meet the right guy. But , I know how you feel. I wonder the same thing about myself. It's like I can never be pretty enough for a good Christian guy, cause they all want supermodels. All the guys that have liked me have had drug problems (with the exception of one, who was wonderful, but it ended); so I wonder if I only look attractive to people on drugs. It's sort of bummy.
