26 and never had a boyfriend

[Illusional]

honestly a picture is worth a thousand words. if you want a rating, on the forums, we go by either your words or your picture. if you don't' want to post one, i could care less, but on the flip side, we'd probably just look deeper into your words.

now, as i've said, i dunno you, but maybe it's your personality that doesn't get you the guys you want. you said that you're girly and pretty, and i will take your words for it. but when you break it down, what two things causes an attraction?? looks and personality right??

Sign up for a free account on photobucket, you can upload your pictures there. When you've uploaded them they will have a link under them that you can copy and paste here.

I think a picture would be a great way to get honest opinions on things that may be a problem. Friends may not tell you the truth because they may not want to hurt you.

Even if you're a bit of a tomboy...a lot of guys find it attractive. I do to a certain extent. But of course they also don't want to have their ass handed to them in everything physical.

I don't know how I would post a picture other than what I put in my profile, although I'm pretty sure (based on my experience, friends, etc) that looks aren't the problem.

We have a Gallery here where photos can be uploaded

It sounds like the people who are requesting this mostly want this for their own personal, er, enjoyment?

Yes, that's it. You've figured us out. The only reason why we request a photo is so we can get a good perve. There's seriosly not enough porn on the internet for that.

There are a lot of people who post things like "Wow, I'm so hot but I can't get anybody, what's up with that", only to post the photo to reveal something that only a mother could love. We found people's description of themselves (especially in comparisson to "beautiful" looking people) are often (I'll use a better term) not very "accurate". Some people like to fool themselves to get better responses. I'm not saying that it's you. I'm not saying that you don't look like Alexis Bledel, only that in my experience people who identify themselves with famous people ussually look nothing like them. We like to help, sometimes with harsh truth. We can support or nagate your statement about your self perception and physical idenfitication with this famous person. Which ever way it is you can only gain from this experience. If it's a yes, we can safely continue giving advice on personality and approach methods. If it's a no, then we can help with other advice as well. The choice is yours.

By the way, it would be nice to hear from you what you think of people's suggestions. Do you agree / disagree? Will you try one to see if it works?

It's hard for us to 'diagnose' what's wrong with you. Saying you look like some actress isn't going to cnvince anyone, whether you do or don't. All we have here is your opinion and your side of the story, which isn't really valid information.

"Wow, I'm so hot but I can't get anybody, what's up with that"

Wow... I get so many girls saying this on msn to me, rofl. Mostly randoms. Then when they show a pic....... eh, all i need to say here!

Maybe you're ugly

I am a 26-yr old female who has never had a boyfriend. I think I'm a pretty interesting and unique person overall. I'm reasonably attractive (have modelled professionally- 5'8/125), have an career primarily as a musician and occasional indie news writer and also environmental consultant, am not obnoxiously extroverted but comfortably outgoing. I more want to get a chance to try being in a relationship than any fear of not ever meeting "the one" that I see a lot of other people have- try anything once, ya know? I'd love to take the easy way out and say I'm picky, but the truth is that no one has ever indicated interest in me other than men much older than me (eg- my father's age) who are either married (and just looking for sex) or recently divorced, or lesbian or bisexual women. I wouldn't rule out an older man but the sort of situations I've encountered aren't what I want. I have no idea what is behind the women hitting on me, although it seems to happen with some frequency.

I really am at a loss for something I perceive to be statistically improbable here. My friends don't get it, and when I tell this fact to others for the first time they usually are shocked. I am a rather liberal and rational person so I can't say that I have a whole lot of limitations other than a certain level of intelligence and empathy that I look for. I've liked tall guys, short guys, class clowns, painfully shy bookworms, men of lots of different ethnic/social backgrounds, you name it.

I definitely have taken the initiative in trying to start relationships, be it asking guys on dates, telling them my feelings, or even planting the odd kiss. Men just never seem to want to get involved with me that way- either saying that they think of me as just a friend, or I'm not their "type". I've tried several dating sites and nothing has worked out. I've asked friends to set me up but usually they can't think of anyone, or they tell me I'm better off single. A couple of times they did set me up with someone, and in all of the cases the guy was not interested in a romantic relationship. Most of my friends at this time are guys (colleagues from work as a musician). This whole thing isn't a huge deal in the daily course of my life, but it is something that I think needs to be addressed, and I'd really like some ideas on why this may be.

You know what your problem is? Your attitude. "I am 26 years old and I have never had a boyfriend." BIG DEAL. I am not shocked or impressed. The way you are looking at this, with this sort of pessimistic view is going to lead to nowhere. Sounds like you're picking up guys the wrong way. At least you realize you shouldn't be stooping as low as kissing someone just to get them to realize that you are interested.

You're overanalyzing, assuming, and thinking irrationally. You're desperate for love, you're ready for a serious relationship (despite having experience)

I think you're probably jumping the gun on it. Likely to get taken advantage of, or scare the good ones off. Cool off. Be laid back. Don't worry about finding a boyfriend. Things happen when they should. You'll be with when you're ready.

I know, I am being frank, but perhaps this will give you insight.

well...i think if she isn't comfortable in putting out her picture..its perfectly understandable. Maybe she doesn't feel secure enough to do that (perhaps you shouldn't have said you look like an actress then?) or maybe she doesn't want to get stalked.

Also, looks aren't important to everyone. I've seen plenty of ugly people who got into relationships.

[misombra]

in my experience girls like this go for the crappiest guys they can find because they believe they can't do any better.

sounds like that guy you kissed once was an asshole. why are you trying to kiss guys like that?

aim a little higher would be my advice.
