Hot and humid here in Scotland, so naked tonight
So, back to the original question... Are you that unattractive?
Well, I think that there have been some excellent points made and you can probably get the answer you need from those.
I think CG put quite bluntly, but kindly nonetheless, that you don't always give off a great vibe [sic] and I agree.
Any dealings I've had with you have been pleasant and I've enjoyed talking to you, but the blog posts can be off-putting, well, to me anyway, but I'm guessing it will be the same for others.
I'm not saying that the image you project is wrong, but maybe it's revealing too much too soon? I wonder if that's the way you are IRL? Being perhaps overly down gives the impression (to me) of you being what I'd call a 'fixer upper'. By that I mean that it would be a lot of work to lick you into shape (oh my god, I'm coming across as a real cunt here, but I'm honestly trying to be helpful)
You know, what people have said about league/ 'punching above your weight' when it comes to choosing prospective partners, well, I've seen that happen. I don't actually believe in the league thing - there are so many examples of very different people having successful relationships, well, for as long as people in 'regular' relationships, so to speak - I mean, Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett is one example, if you think that way - it's all subjective anyway.
It can often be a self-sabotage thing, you know, going for people who are completely incompatible (rather than 'out of your league' - I don't believe in the league thing at all - you should see my husband, he's fucking gorgeous (the relationship is fucked, but he is actually very handsome)) because you're actually scared of getting into a relationship? People do this all of the time - choose people who are simply never going to work as a prospective partner - I mean, why do some women always choose guys who humiliate/abuse them?
I have this friend... She is totally gorgeous, I mean an absolute knockout, but she NEVER gets any interest whatsoever from guys. Now, I'm at best average in the looks department but when the two of us go out together, guys never talk to her, they speak to me but not her - I never used to get it and I know it used to piss her off, but it's the vibe she gives off - she is totally self deprecating, dismissive of a compliment and very needy.
I've spoken with male friends who've said that they would just 'never go there'. When asked to explain, they would often not be able to say why, but that there was just something about her, that she seemed 'off' somehow.
Anyway, guess that's a bit of a random rant, my take on things - hope you can get something useful from it?
I never noticed it was in Ask The Guys...
