Why do guys like girls who act stupid to get attention?


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
Why do guys seem to only be into girls who wear skimpy clothes, flirt with every boy they see, and always act ditzy and constantly try to be the center of attention? I don't think I'm bad-looking, and my friends say that I'd be a great catch, but guys never notice me! What's wrong with girls who don't feel the need to always be in the limelight and act stupid to get attention?

 

His Answer: “Sometimes guys get distracted by how girls look, especially if they’re begging for attention in the middle of everyone,” says Jack, 15. “I know that most guys are looking for a girl they can actually talk to and have fun with.”

 

Decoded: Guys can get totally caught up with the crowd when everyone is paying attention to a particular girl, just like you and your girls might all be obsessed with the same hottie. But also like girls, guys want to hang with someone that has similar interests to them–and maybe that’s not the cutie you had your eye on, but someone totally unexpected! 

 

Your Move: Be yourself and don’t compare yourself to other girls. If a boy is interested in you for the right reasons, he will show it by having conversations with you and seeing your smarts instead of just your looks.  Stand out and be the smart and self-secure girl–it will definitely help you to get noticed. If you’re open to meeting people that like you for who you are, not just how flirty you can be, you will totes make some connections.

Hey chica,

 



I'm so sorry to hear that - I'm sure that must be heartbreaking.  If you want to talk, consider talking to your mom - let her know your concern and that you're here for her.  If you need someone else to talk to, consider reaching out to a counselor.  If getting your mind off it is the goal, get wrapped up in something you enjoy - going for a bike ride, reading a book, hanging with friends.  

 

I'm so sorry you and your mom are going through this, but hang in there.  Wishing you both the best.  xoxo

im 16 years old and i have never dated a guy, there has been a few guys that seem interested in me but then they seem to back down! Why ?
thanks!

 

Hey chica, I can totally relate - I hadn't really dated anybody when I was 16, either!  I don't know why they are doing that.  I've learned that the best thing you can do is this:  be open, friendly, and confident with yourself.  If you can do that, you will meet guys - some that will be friends, and maybe one that will be extra-special. Smile xoxo

so i've noticed i've been gaining a little weight. i stopped playing tennis about a year ago (it was kinda my thing & i played everyday, did tournaments and whatnot) but now i'm back to riding horses. i'm wondering if it's because i'm not running and working out as much? i'm only 14, almost 15, so could i be filling out, and not necessarily be gaining weight? i've had to change my bra size about 2 or 3 times in the past year. is this normal to start gaining a little weight? so idk if's that's normal or not.what do you think? thanks!

 

Hey chica, It's totally normal at your age to be gaining weight at your age - that's part of growing up!  It sounds to me like you're very healthy.  As long as you are staying active and eating well, that's what matters.  You can always check in with your doc to be sure, but I wouldn't fret Smile xoxo

Hey Smile If you send in a pitch for a feature in the mag ("Think you've got what it takes to write for GL?"), how long will it take to get a reply?? Cuz the first time I sent in one, literally after about ten mins I got a reply (even tho it said my peice wasn't something GL would use now). I sent in a second one and this time, it's been a week. Is there something wrong? Thx so much Smile



Hey chica!  That's awesome that you sent stuff in! Smile  I actually don't handle the pitches myself, but from what I can tell they will be responded to within 90 days.  If you haven't heard anything within that time (3 months), send a follow-up e-mail to check in!  xoxo
