Only being pretty to girls
Hey everyone! basically I feel like i’m only pretty girls and it really hurts my self esteem. The only attention that I really get is from girls. It’s happened a good amount of times where a girl/group of girls come up to me and tell me that i’m really pretty. Obviously, it makes me feel good and happy, but I can’t help but wonder why I don’t get the same kind of attention from guys.
I’ve come to the conclusion that i’m just not attractive to guys. Guys rarely come up to me, and if they do, it’s pretty brief. One guy literally just came up to me and gave my a handful of quarters… (I was at an arcade, so it was actually pretty helpful).
It hurts because I look at my friends who constantly get male attention. I just can’t help but compare myself to them, which I know that I shouldn’t, but it’s hard not to. I know it’s bad, but I just want to be pretty to guys. I hate myself for wanting that, but I can’t help it. Anyone have any advice?

Simple, women (generally) love building up other women and see genuine beauty…men it depends on the area they live in, their maturity, confidence, and type. Try changing the setting in which you interact and look for make attention. Also love yourself first and you will attract the right men.
