Why do guys only go after the popular girls?

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
All of the guys at my school pay the most attention to all the "popular" girls. Is there any way to get their attention and when will they stop?

 

His Answer: "Continue to be yourself. Don't try to be someone who you aren't. There's someone out there for everyone," says Carter, 16.
 
Decoded: The guys who only pay attention to the popular girls aren't the type of guy for you. Staying true to yourself and not trying to impress the other guys will draw in a guy just right for you. The other guys' attention doesn't matter so don't waste your time trying to get it.
 
Your Move: Don't bother with those guys! Stick to who you are and express yourself and you'll find the perfect guy for you! Maybe if you stop paying attention to the guys who only pay attention to the popular girls, then you’ll see that the guy for you will be right in front of you.

Ok so I have this friend (it's a guy). He is like one of the best people I know. But when I first met him I didn't think he knew anything but politics. He just didn't seem very talented and he always did really stupid things. Over the last year I've gotten to know him better as a friend. He always comes and eats lunch with us when he could be with his guy friends instead of a bunch of girls. Earlier this year, I found out that he could sing and that he can write songs from memory. I'm just happy that I got to know him for who he is instead of what guys normally flaunt. I'm also happy that he spends so much time with a bunch of girls Smile

I'm a LITTLE over weight do guys like girls that are bigger than others i've never had a boyfriend is weight a reason for that????

 

Hey fashion4everSmile, no not at all. Of course everyone has preferences. Some guys like small girls other like bigger ones, like you. I'm sure there are certain types of guys you would like to date. You just have to be yourself and find someone who likes you for you. Hope this helps! Xoxo

So I'm a guy who really needs girl advice. So there's this one girl who I've liked for over a year now, and we're really good friends. I've tried asking her out in the past, but friends have interfered with their immaturity. She now just feels awkward being around me because of what a certain kid did. Are there any surefire ways to win her over or would it be best to move on? And is paddle boating a good group date idea? We're 13 and 14, by the way.

i like this boy that is in 7th grade . but im in 8th. people make fun of me cause i like a boy that younger than me. the said i was lame. and i just wanna know, is it really that bad to like someone younger than you?

Hey girl,

I don't think that is bad at all, because that is not a very big age difference! If you two like each other, don't worry about what other people are saying. Making fun of someone is what's lame! Smile

I completely understand this myself. I'm popular in my own way but guys don't recognize the value of it yet. I'm known for being active in many extra-curricular activities such as playing on the school's basketball team and swimming for my school's team. I take Chinese, I play the violin, I am a member of many clubs, active in church, I volunteer etc but guys don't value this yet. They like the "popular" girls because they feel superior to them. Most of these popular girls are shallow and only think about staying popular and getting the school "babe" lol so stay who you are. You will eventually find the right guy Smile

MOD MOD MOD When I'm at home and with my friends, I'm outgoing. But when I get to school, I don't talk to people. Like I forget my personality or something. Every year, I tell myself I'm going to be the same as I am in the summer, but then when I got to school I reverted back to my school self. The one no one will talk to because I never talk. What do I do?







You need to start talking. I know it sounds dumb, but try and start small. Say little things to people like a compliment on their shoes. Or ask them to repeat what the teacher just said and then thank them. Just little signs of outgoingness will start to help people warm up to you and in no time you'll be more comfortable. Good luck! xoxo kerra

If the guy doesn't even complement u at least once when other people do then he only likes popular girls and that just so he become popular or more popular I say you should just move on

okay so I like this guy and we're pretty good friends. We have a secret handshake and everything, and he's always really nice to everyone. I caught him staring at me from accross the room yesterday, and again today and he was smiling. But because he is always so nice and such good friends with alot of people (but they dont have secret handshakes) I was wondering if he likes me

Hey girl,

He might like you, or he might just want to be friends. Either way, it doesn't hurt to hang out with him! Try getting to know him better as friends, and see where things go!

i am not popular at school, i am a nerd which is totally cool. there are tons of nerd who i befriended and we are true to ouorselves. two guys had a crush on me... i think. they came out of no where. if popular guy s dont give you the time of day, give them the same treatment. when guys mature more, they will realize that being w/ a girl only for her looks and popularity doesn't equal compatability

Honestly, once everyone grows up a little, popularity stops mattering to people. If it matters to any guy, then chances are he shouldn't matter to you. Jess D.
