*raises hand*

that's me! that blonde girl at the bar with perfect makeup on who dances so well and is always the only one who has to buy her own drinks.

also that geek at the electronics class who might as well not be there at all because there are chubby girls out there who wear no makeup and get all the help and chivalry from the nerds while i'm ignored.

isn't love great? :lol:

Do you really think that putting other people down will help you? Last I heard, sour grapes were not attractive.

i find it very interesting to note once again how quickly the supposedly negative sentiment in a post is highlighted and seen as a personal slight.

seems aspies on WP all have their pet-gripes and pounce as soon as they see their little red flag go up. when this happens all rationality flies the coop and dialogue goes nowhere.

this is quite sad. one would think that the community would be more tolerant of another fellow's "short-comings" (seeing that humans in general are so flawed) and help him/ her progress towards his/ her goal.

[ok. so now i guess, i am in for another lynching again. lol]

Don't worry, while I agree it was a little rude to say (On the basis that this attitude can show and thus hinder people actually approaching someone.), I, too, notice the trend in this forum. People are so quick to shut others out. I suppose that's an aspie trait, but it's still something I would recommend working on NOT doing in this forum. =P

Feel free to respond however you like, Bluerose. Don't let people scare you off (If you even were.).

Sorry. I know this might sound weird, and I could be entirely wrong.. but seeing as you say you're from the Baltics.. I have a hard time not imagining you being a gorgeous leggy blonde and maybe it's just that the guys in your country are just inured to it or something..

Rabbitss brings a good point, where in the Baltics are you? Maybe you're just seen as bland by most or you seem to be in a way that puts people off from approaching you. And yes I've met some like this before

i'm not putting anyone down. be chubby or obese or arrogant or whatever. i don't care for other women's looks one way or the other but right now i'm obviously comparing becuz i'm thinking of an issue that invites comparing oneself with others of the same gender. it's not sour grapes, either. more like wonderment. i don't want to be chubby sweet god, i take care of my body, i exercise despite risking a huge migraine from it, so i'm just wondering how my inner values, strength and self-discipline are overlooked for ppl shoving chips into their face. but in the end, i exercise for myself, because if i don't, i feel even more like *** so i don't really care even if most guys are into soft girls who do nothing but sit on their asses and whine.

which is something that i don't do, btw, MXH, this forum is the only place on earth my problems have been discussed in 21 years of emotional torture. sry for bringing that up, i'm sure that makes me even less attractive than the women who whine on the regular just becuz they didn't get expensive enough gifts for valentines.

i'm not leggy, but i am blonde, and i dunno about the bland thing. most women here are actually brunette, some shade of potato peel and don't bother to dye. it's not a country of barbie dolls like most'd imagine AT ALL, it's more western here.

anyway, it's obvious most ppl will never relate to this, maybe as many as 99.9% of women, hence why i'm having trouble finding them IRL and am asking here.

I've heard that guys sometimes don't bother trying with the pretty blondes, because they know they're going to be shot down. They are scared of rejection. So sometimes ironically, it's the best looking girls who don't get 'hit on'

Hurm okay well that does kind of go against the typical depiction of the Baltic states when they are on travel shows and stuff.. usually they are being sold as a cheaper alternative to Scandinavia.. but yeah I hope my comment didn't come across the wrong way I was just generally curious as anything around the Baltic or Northsea has always fascinated me.

You seem pretty interesting from what I've seen, obviously emotionally upset at the moment but hopefully you can find a niche here at WP and gain some level of help from it.

Well, if it helps any, I'm sure plenty of people here don't get hit on nearly as much as they would like.

I'm still new to it myself, but make sure and watch body language. No crossing of arms, slouching. Make sure to smile and look guys in the eyes whenever they look at you (Or look at them to try and get their attention.).
Of course, this might be obvious to you, already, and I might just sound patronizing. =/

This is a good point, actually. You might have to take the initiative, as scary as that can be sometimes. Maybe approach a guy you have your eyes on, or have a drink sent to him.
I really have no other ideas other than what cliches I've seen in movies. I don't go to bars. =P

Well, you can have blonde hair and long legs and be ugly as hell.
If the chubby brunette has a better face, she will get more attention.
I really don´t think it has to do with certain guys in a certain country,,,

well now.. like in Iceland where Blonde is THE main hair color.. girls often dye their hair brown just to stand out... and it works.. and considering as I said what the travel shows here often show about the Baltics i wondered if a similar situation might not be at work.

Not sure if you've done this, but you could try approaching them instead. Guys shouldn't have to be the only ones to approach people.

I've approached guys and gotten laughed at or the cold shoulder or ignored.
Thanks to my friends being there, there are often a lot of guys around us and since I'm obviously alone, they'd have no probs striking up a convo if they WANTED to, instead of not even looking at me and ignoring me. noone is EVER looking at me if they're guys, EVER.
I read body language well, and as I'm having fun with my friends, mine is never bad. if it was, one of the girls would've told me so a long time ago, they have always been giving me tips on makeup and borrowed me their clothes, did my hair etc.

Cafeaulait's the only one who's gotten it. i've known girls who are chubby and lazy and have a s*** attitude and they go like cupcakes, guys all around them trying to impress them with romantic gestures or just dying to hear about how hard it is for those girls, being oh so insecure about their bodies while sitting on the couch and shoving chips into their faces in front of their laptops :D:D:D no sympathy from me to those.
