Does it matter?

[Dan_2004]

I know I’ll probably get some people saying that it’s the inner beauty that counts, but realistically girls now more get with a guy for his looks , well that’s like every girl in my high school
Anyway, do I need to be all really good looking and really popular to get a girl?

Many things wrong with this picture...

High school girls date the good looking boys that are popular because they don't know any better. I graduated from high school almost three years ago now and only one couple from high school still exists. This couple was truly in love.

Now that I am in the real-word I can tell you that looks mean very little, and that any girl who TRULY loves you for who you are will not fall in love with you completely because your good looking or popular because that stuff honestly means crap.

You need to be yourself and only yourself to find a girl.

There's going to be girls at school that are all about the looks, just like some of the guys are going to be. Sounds cliche, but be yourself. Be confident in who you are. And it's likely there's girls that are feeling the same way as you, they think the only way a boy will be interested in them is if they're "beautiful", whatever that means.

And ask yourself this: what is it about a girl that you're looking for? Are you focused or pre-occupied with their looks? Or are you just open to finding someone to be with that's going to "feel right" because you have shared interests, find each fascinating, etc.?

Two of the Best advices above.

Yeah some girls are that way. The truly great gals in my opinion are the nice looking normal acting girls. They will be true to you and actually be your best friend too. The so called hot girls and guys are usually arrogant self centered assholes. That think they are better than anyone else. Just look for a nice normal girl.

Honestly, I avoid dating anyone from my school. I date girls from groups that I'm apart of outside of school and I have a lot more in common with them. I've also dated girls from summer camps that I've attended. I feel like there's less pressure when you're not a school.

I'm still in middle school, but tbh dating in high school is stupid, it's a good experience, but it doesn't paint a realistic picture of what dating is rly like. Just be yourself, and if someone doesn't like u for urself, u can do better.

Don't get me wrong, looks matter because they are the first part of a first impression. At some point the other things become more important. If you are looking for a one night stand looks are more important than in a relationship. If you are a total jerk then you probably won't get further than a first date.
