To me, this seems to be true, at least in my area. The girls that wear American Eagle and Hollister, wear makeup and always do their hair are the ones that get asked out. Girls like me, who never wear makeup, I don't do my hair or wear popular clothing brands don't get asked out. I am not really complaining,(I don't know that I would want to date any of the guys from my town) I was just wondering if that's what it's like were ya'll live.

It's not like I don't wear cute clothes, they just aren't AE or Hollister. Everyone says my hair would be cute if I did something with it though. Alot of girls want to jump me and give me a makeover.

I guess I don't wear makeup because I'm afraid that I would do it wrong. Plus I was my older brother's shadow when I was little, and my dad's side of the family (the ones I see most often) are mostly guys. Therefor, I have always been a bit of a tomboy, so I guess that's part of it too.

Really? The guys that I know prefer girls who don't wear all of that stuff. My guy friends say it's because it's like they "need" it, rather than just enhancing what they already have. Girl, if you're blessed enough not to have to wear makeup, then be proud of it! You're probably better looking than those girls anyway, the guys are probably just intimidated by your natural beauty :o)

Yea, it's true. I live in TX, and it's still the same no matter where you go. See, I wear American Eagle and Aeropostale, but wear no makeup because my parents don't let me yet. People at school ask why I don't wear makeup, but, I just tell them the truth. I respect my parents opinion more than some of my classmates. And in a way, my modesty has helped me get even more friends. In fact, I'm friends with almost everyone in my grade! I just think that it matters if you have a good personality. And the people that I'm not friends with; they're not very nice people, and not very well liked. I think you just have to believe in yourself.

Yeah, it's the same where I live too, if you have brandnamed clothes, you get asked out, but where I live it has to be Hollister. Because I have a lot of Amrican Eagle, and I've only had 6 boyfriends this year. but I think my answer is yes, I don't know anyone who looks for the soul stuff like the people in those books say, its all how you dress and look in the real world!!

When I was in school thats how it was...But now that I'm out of school and have been for a while, that all changes, you dont have to have the perfect model looking body, you dont have to wear name brand clothes, you dont have to wear 10 pounds of makeup, You'll still get asked out...But When you dress nice (not saying it has to be name brand), and put on some makeup(not heavy) , and do your hair, It makes it look like you take care of your self, and guys like women/girls that take care of themselves.....

this depends on the age range you are speaking about. just guessing but you are probably a teen and probably the boys are asking those kinda girls out b/c the way they are dressing & making themselves up indicates they may be more 'willing' (this doesn't mean they are more willing but it could be an impression that is just implied) vs. a cute, good girl like yourself.. and my dear you don't want those kind of boys asking you out anyways. keep being yourself and the right guy for you will come along soon enough!

As sucky as it may be this seems to be the truth no matter where you go. I think its the confidence you have though because its not the clothes and makeup that makes the girl its the confidence she gives off in them.

well, i think it also has to do w/confidence. and, when u r wearing the latest styles and taking the time to put on makeup or do up your hair, then u tend to feel more confident about the way u look. that confidence is then projected onto others.
if u go out of the house kind of schlubby, then chances are, u won't feel or look confident to others.

yeah i c alot of that around here too. the more ya do urself up the more attention u get, but i figure it don't last for long. i think it's all got to do with ur attiture and personality. i know some girls that are very naturally pretty and are very happy go lucky and outgoing and they are the ones who have the meaningful and long lasting relationships.

no... many people are overshadowed by looks or the "popular" looks: what they wear, how they wear it, what kind of makeup(usually heavy, yuck), etc
truth is there is people with natural beauty who DO get asked out as well even if they don't use any of the above, and even people who aren't considered "pretty" get asked out by nice guys, i guess those guys there aren't really mature

that's not it. It's all about attitude and how you carry yourself. Don't think that just b/c they do their hair and wear expensive clothes that is why they get guys. The girls you are talking about don't down themselves for anything. They think highly of themselves and that is what a guy is attracted to. Slutty girls also get guys.
