Question:
What could I do to be more attractive? (Pics)?
2010-01-14 19:09:51 UTC
I'm 15, and never been asked out, but I'm smart, nice and funny. I'm a nerd, but I need a little bit of a confidence boost to help get a guy, because I feel like I'm ready to start looking into dating soon. I do put myself out there, but I'm a little insecure (dealt with some depression) and whatnot.

I'm 15, 5'7", and 132 pounds, but I feel like my body is a little boyish.

You are very pretty. Dont forget that.



Okay, so I like how you do your makup. I would go with a lighter colour. Its a little harsh up agaisnt fair skin. I would go with a mid brown, for eyeliner.



Your clothes, Brown is NOT your colour, do not wear brown. I would aviod dark colours altogether. Light yellow would look fab on you, pastel colours, light light colours. I dont think purple would look good etheir.



I would also suggest avioding all skinny jeans! go vintange, flare, Not skinny! It will create just a more, longer leg nice look. :)



Wear a little purfume (if you dont already) something sweet and girly.



Well, Hope you find some really sweet guy that will love you for who you are!

Your very pretty.



Best luck

I think you are pretty and you look older than 15 which is always a plus for a girl (I'm 15 and I look about 12 lol) but I just accept how I look and am confident despite the flaws I have. You need to be confident no matter how you look, although that's hard to do with practice you will get there. Anyways I know tons of very pretty girls who don't have boyfriends and never have, so I think it's a matter of personality as well. Not all guys are constantly staring at a girl's body and face; a lot of them want to date a girl who is not a total ***** or wreck.

You have pretty features you just don't know how to bring them out.[=

But I can see that you have a little bit of eye circles, but don't worry a little concealer will hide them.

Maybe a some highlighter or blush for your cheeks.And curl your lashes.

Your hair, the length is good but I think you should get some side bangs.

The color of your hair color, don't change it.

Your body, I think you feel like it is boyish because your clothes kind of just hang on you so that makes it look like a "box shape".

You should get a gym membership card, and go workout once a week.It will help you get your mind off stress and give you a toned body.

For clothes, look in some magazines(Seventeen's the best) and look at some of the outfits they put together. Donate some of your clothes and go to the mall and get yourself some clothes that: fit you nicely(not tight, but not loose), don't get anything that shows too much of your body because you don't want to look like a whore,get some shirts that have designs and decoration, get some bright colors they will look great on your skin tone, and make sure your pants/jeans are not tight or else you will get the "muffin top" look(skin hanging over the top of your pants) and ask some people at the stores for advise.

Buy some jewelry and accessiores to spice up your look.Good luck.[=

omg some of these people are really full of themselves

youre pretty but from your pics I can tell youre shy, you need to just forget about any insecurity you might have and be fun! be the girl that talks to all the guys and is friends with them.

You have nice hair you should try to fix it up more get it cut in layers and change your hair color to a lighter brown cuz it looks black right now.

Try to fix yourself in the mornings like makeup but not too much just a bit of eyeliner and mascara with some blush just enough to accentuate what you already have.

You should also try dressing alittle nicer too not like the whole slutty thing just clothes that make you look cute :)

Unfortunately boys will always go for the physical aspect so the better you look the more attracted theyll be, so just try spending more time on yourself and BE CONFIDENT!!! I cannot stress that enough a confident girl who knows she looks good will ALWAYS bring the boys

Well, everyone's already commented on what you should do with your outward appearance, so I'll leave that part alone. Physically, there's nothing wrong with you. Some of the tips here may enhance your looks and may garner more attention. However, what I'd like to say is more about keeping a guy's attention.



Remember, you're competing with other girls who are probably thinking about the same thing, "How do I look better to attract guys?"



This is actually an easier thing for girls. Look good and show some interest towards a guy and he will reciprocate. But, if you want to keep one, you're going to need personality. I don't know you. And there's not way anyone could know your personality. Well, unless you upload some youtube videos of yourself talking and exuding a confident and engaging personality.



What I can say that guys like:

- Someone who listens to what he says. (You don't have to do anything just act like your heard it and remember it.)

- Someone who has a sense of humor (Yes, guys have mean jokes. They know it. Now, laugh.)

- Someone who's positive (If you don't like something, don't complain. Just express what you DO like).

- Someone who can be his equal (Don't be better, don't be inferior. Be his partner in crime.)

- Someone who respects him. (If you want something, first you have to give it: love, respect, friendship, etc.)



Be Good. Be Positive. Be willing to give what you want in return. And you'll have a competitive edge over the girls that just think about looks.

Your very pretty and from what i can see have a very nice body, damn check out the girls!!!. The only thing making you look a little frumpy is your hair and your clothes. its hard for me to describe a hairstyle that would fit you so i think you should go find yourself a nice salon with younger group of stylist and ask what they think would look good and then go for it, if you don't like it it's hair and it will grow back. for clothes you don't have to go all trendy, do whats you but try things on and make sure they fit you in a flattering way, clothes in the pics are boring and kinda hang in some places. Add some color your skin tone can for then handle it :)



And don't let the immature little sh@# heads on here bother you for one second. chances are they're nerdy little f#$%s with no life and no friends and spend all there time in this section trying to make there lame assess feel better by being ruthless little bastards and waking it with there own lonely tears. you dip sh#$s need grow up. Damn other peoples kids!!!



Your very pretty girl and will only get prettier and more distinguished as you get older!

oh sweety you look just fine. at 15, i didnt always make the best style choices, i wore brown and light pink eyeshadow together for a dance (i wore a silvery baby blue dress- makes no sense) just because it came in the same pallet! you have darker features, which is really coveted at the moment. think of kim kardashian. i would recommend a clean cut (nothing super trendy, bc at 15, basic is best), maybe a few layers, swoop bangs. as far as makeup goes, id suggest making a visit to the mac counter or possibly lancome and ask for assistance. they will try to sell you everything, but invest in the perfect foundation, price is no object when it comes to that. if you are on a budget, then just remember the eye lip and cheek colors you liked, and find something similar at the drugstore!
2010-01-14 20:07:39 UTC
Hey! =] We have a lot of similarities~ (Sorry, this answer is insanely long. ^^;;; I hope you read it all!)



I'm also a 15 year old girl, 5'7" (or 5'8", haven't checked in a while), 130 pounds, and a nerd (one AP class, the rest gifted/honors... if you want to measure it that way) who dealt with depression (very mild), and needs more confidence. I kid you not. I'm not just an adult trying to make you feel better (but would one go through all this effort?) :P I even have dark hair (though mine is darker).



I have to say though, we have different body types. I... am a stick. Judging from your photos, you have more curves than I do. But eh, what can you do. It's all about what you value. Which is a great segue to the point of my whole answer! (I better go quick or I'll ramble and this'll be suuper long).

First, what do you consider attractive? I hesitate to write this answer, because I know it will be somewhat hypocritical. Everyone has their own view of what is attractive, and though there is a large consensus among current pop culture, people do vary quite a lot... and those who will judge you just like that probably aren't worth making the effort for anyway (you want someone interesting and original, yes?). I know we've heard this a bagillion times, but I've finally started to realize that it's not important to please everyone around you, and worry how you look. So just figure out what YOU think is attractive, how YOU think you would like to present yourself, and do that! I guarantee, someone will like you for yourself. Someone will appreciate your honesty to yourself, and you will be more confident for it. (It's hypocritical of me to say this because even I still make judgements about people based off of their looks. =/ ) And yes, I do have a boyfriend (of 2 months- ish) =]



If you are confident and like yourself (not saying you don't), this will be hugely appealing to not just guys, but everyone (just don't be arrogant :P), regardless of how your hair is styled, what clothes your wearing or any other ways you could affect your appearance. Ever meet someone who just drew people to them, because they were comfortable with themselves and charismatic?



The honest truth is, you already seem to do all the things a girl should do in terms of take care of herself... i.e. the necessities, bla bla bla. You seem to wear decent clothing, you wash your hair, etc. At the very least you're not a slob. So you could try wearing more makeup, or styling your hair differently, or wearing interesting clothing to be more "pretty" but then you're just trying to appeal to those who would judge you shallowly.



Work on you, and that'll make you the most attractive.



Also, don't be in a huge hurry to find a guy. This is perhaps the most hypocritical thing I can say, since I have a boyfriend, and I really wanted one before I began to date him... but searching for "that guy" made me realize that people at this age are shallow. We judge. We're teens. That's what we do. We judge and angst about being judged. So you might not find that perfect person at your school, or just yet. Which is fine. Yes you'll have to wait longer, but it'll be more worth it. Or you could settle for less? Your call.

well ignore pablo here is what i say

i think you should get side-bangs but ask your friends first and see what they think

have some more interesting hairstyles such as curls and since you have a straightner, if it has round edges, you can do curls

also try some mascara that is like big and bold

i have the maybelline collosel volume express mascara and i love it

itll bring out your lashes more and try like eye-color matching eyeshadow like the covergirl eyelights eyeshadows

and from what i see, you have a cone shaped body(i think) so try some clothes that flatter your shape

seventeen magazine has tons of articles about clothes that flatter shapes so check out the magazine or the site

srry if this sounds mean but im just trying to help

dont take it too harsh because everyone is beautiful

these items only bring out the beautifulness

im sorry if this does sound mean though

first of all your body isnt boyish, your boobs are huge.

you do your hair and make up fine, you're not a fatty, im really not a fan of your clothes tho..



the only thing is that you dont have very good bone structure in your face, but short of surgery theres nothing you can do to change that.



dont worry about guys, you shouldnt date just to say that you date. you should date someone because you both like each other the way you are.
2010-01-14 20:02:37 UTC
Im so jealous! yes your very pretty! im 14, but have only been asked out a couple times by desperate guys...but as i always love to say, Girls are like apple trees. but the boys never go for the really good ones at the top the only pick up the rotten, easy apples that have already fallen from the tree! kinda random, i know, but i hope it makes sense.

I don't see where the boyish comes in. You look nicely curvy which is a great benefit for any woman. You are a pretty girl and I love your wavy hair. The only thing I could suggest is a more refined makeup routine. Your eye makeup is nice, but you might want to try a nice foundation to give yourself that "just popped out of glamor magazine" look. Here is a makeup video from Carmindy of "what not to wear" Hope it helps!

i think you're beauuutifullllllll, but you need to stop pushing out your boobs. it's nastyyyy. you don't want guys looking at you that way, trust me. everyone wants a boyfriend, but i can guarantee you that they're just a waste of time. stick to your studies- they're way more important. another thing i can guarantee you is that there with be hundreds- no literally HUNDREDS- of guys that will fall for you later on, but right now is not the right time. when you're in high school, you need to work on preparing for your future and having a guy in the way just doesn't cut it. if you were smart, you would know this already.

Your figure is not boyish; you have a rack that most 15 year old girls don't have and would be jealous of. Nothing boyish about that.



I think you're pretty already but if you want to be better, start looking a little less frumpy (clothing wise)...Try some new things with your hair, wear brighter colors/be trendier, etc.

straight hair looks best. i think u should play up ur eyes or lips more one or the other at a time...ur makeup routine is really dull and its not playing up ur pretty face...i would go with a plum and a taupe eye shadow and of course a ivory highlight color...of ur want lips try muting ur lids a bit more with a shimmery light tan shadow and making those lips a lot more red...because u have a smaller bum, flowy skirts will do ur bum justice. also for jeans, ur body will do best with fading on the bum area and detailing there such as flappy pockets that extend out a bit and/or detailing...like this...

http://static.oprah.com/images/tows/200604/20060428/20060428_107_284x426.jpg

ur lucky because most of the really interesting jeans are structured like that...

i think u look great at the weight u are at. ur body is not boyish at all. ur boobs are quite large and shapely for ur body shape...u just have narrower hips and a smaller bum. but again, just get bottoms for a smapper bottom. the ones ur wearing are for girls like me who have a larger bottom. dark wash all over with no detailing or protuding fabric on pockets makes a bum look smaller.

ul be fine with the dating. u have large boobs and many many guys are obsessed with them more than they let on. u dress a bit dull...play up ur body and try clothing that says " I'm here"....id go with a full skirt to the knees, some wedges to show a bit of ur great legs. a scoopneck tank that fits u and isnt baggy nor tight and a cardigan for cover up.....brighten ur eyes up, nude ur lips a bit...just repeat in ur head as u walk, ur beautiful, ur hot, u can have any guy u want....seriously, its a big confidence boost when finding someone when ur putting ur self around guys and thinking that to urself.

u look very shy and insecure in ur photos. i would work on ur insecurity because u are beautiful and u are worthy of any guy u want and any guy who u think is wonderful in everyway...i think u just need to realize that.

Well I would say a modern hairstyle would help....but do not pic one of those new short and hard to maintain styles....they would only serve to make you face rounder and fatter looking...

which brings me to the second thing...your a little overweight (I am not criticizing you, I am fat too) but your mid section is bigger than it should be....Your choice of sloppy looking clothes does not help your image.....try being a little neater...........you have it up top which is cool and your face has the look of a nice person.....so ....well you asked.....good luck.
2010-01-14 19:53:19 UTC
