Is this man appealing?
He's perfect!
He has a few flaws, but sounds great.
Not my type, but I know someone who would like him.
Meh, I could do worse.
It would take some major work to make him attractive.
Not in a million years.

Q: Question for the girls here
asked by: Dante on July 10th, 2009

So recently my relationship of 4 years ended when my girlfriend cheated on me, she told me she stopped caring about me 2 years ago and was just keeping me around until she could find someone else. This was my first girlfriend, I never dated in high school and just generally been a failure with women, so my question is; how appealing am I?

I'm 23 years old, I'm over weight but not terribly so, I'm 5'10 and 180 pounds. I've got glasses, blue-green eyes and shoulder length dark blonde hair and a small goatee/mustache combo. I tend to mostly wear t shirts and jeans, I generally prefer comfort over style but I'm not opposed to dressing up for the right occasions (I think I actually look pretty good in a suit). I've never really like sports, I'm just not a very competitive person and haven't gotten into them. I am a gamer, mostly prefer RPGs or action/adventure games. Yes I'm still enough of a dork to play D&D with someone if invited, although there's only so far I'm willing to take it (I don't dress up or do the voices or anything). I like animals, I prefer cats but I like dogs too, especially if they're one of the smarter breeds like a Beagle or German Shepherd. I have odd taste in movies, I like B-movies, the kind of movies that are so bad they're funny, like Howard the Duck or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but my two favorite movies are probably Clerks and Army of Darkness. I have a weird sense of humor, which is a problem sometimes when people can't tell if I'm kidding or not. Chances are that if I suggest you feed an energy drink to a squirrel just to see what happens, I'm not being serious. Even though I'm not very good with relationships, I still love being in love; I remember birthdays and anniversaries, and I love sending flowers for no reason, things like that. Most of my previous jobs have been in kitchens, so I like to cook for people who appreciate it and I'm especially good with homemade pizza and Italian food, and I'm working towards a degree in Software Engineering right now too.

So that's me in a nutshell, I know I'm probably a unique taste. I realize I might be able to improve my appearance by cutting my hair or getting a more expensive wardrobe or something, but I actually like the way I look. It just feels like if I'd have to change the way I look and act to get someone to like me, then it wouldn't be real, they wouldn't like me but rather someone I'm pretending to be. Sorry if this seems kind of stupid, I'm just feeling kind of down lately and could use the reassurance that I'm appealing to more than just one woman in the world.

yes you will be! (appealing to others) After a 4 year relationship, I highly doubt your outer appearance had anything to do with it. Did she give ya a reason why the break up occurred? Sometimes people just fall out of love. It sucks, and that's not a big enough word to describe the feeling you are experiencing. Trust me, I am pregnant with twins and my boyfriend left me; with whom I was in love with, so I know how devastating it is. So, don't worry about who you are, what you look like, just believe in your morals, love yourself for who you are and stay a kind, gentle and happy young man, cause she'll either one miss you, or someone else will enjoy you for who you are.
Good luck.

No I didn't get any explanation for the break up, I wasn't even informed of the break up, I had to wait until I found out about the other guy before she told me she didn't loved me anymore. I knew we were getting distant and wanted to talk about it, but she kept insisting there was no problem and that she still loved me, all the way up until she found a new guy.

I just keep dwelling on what must be wrong with me, women are almost never attracted to me. They'll ignore me, tolerate me, or be friends with me, but almost never think of me in a romantic concept. Meanwhile there are guys I know to be sleaze balls, and yet they constantly get girlfriends, sometimes several at once. People keep telling me I have to have confidence, that's what women are attracted to, and that's how I started off, I just slowly lost it the more and more I was alone.

Well, I am going through a break up and I can see how you do feel this way~ She had time to deal with her feelings, or lack there of, and smacked you with dealing with it with no warning. I can also see how that can make someone feel crappy about oneself. BUT DON'T! You know who you are, it's obvious in your post. What I hear all the time now since I am going through the ups and downs of this break up is, "Time will heal all wounds." I want to smack the people that say it, but it is true. Within time, you will find and love yourself again. Someone broke your heart, it hurts... really bad.
Nothing anyone can say will help, you'll have to find the strength on your own. Good luck! You're not in this alone.

Yeah it definitely effected my self esteem, I was 19 when this relationship started and she was my fist girlfriend, so I wasn't doing too well in love for quite a while anyways and never had a whole lot of self esteem to begin with. When we were together we used to talk every night, and just having someone there to tel me they loved me, knowing I made them happy, really helped. Then all at once that was just stripped away, I find out that all the "I love you"s for the past 2 years have been lies, and someone else is talking to her at night now, saying all the things I used to say to her. All that has certainly put me lower than I have been in quite a while.

Don't change the way you look or change yourself at all (unless of course you have some really bad habits that need to change anyway) just to get a girl. Would you honestly want a girl who likes the person she THINKS you are but who you are really just pretending to be? I married a "geek" lol, he is the best husband ever. Personally I think "geeks" make better bfs/husbands than the hot, popular guys, because the hot, popular guys are often full of themselves because they can get any girl they want. Be yourself. If you think something about you needs improving, do it for your own well-being, not to impress. Take note: women are attracted to confidence! If a man is self-assured in who he is (NOT cocky & swaggering and all that) and confident and not insecure -- THAT is attractive!
