I've gone to school with the same group of people ever since 1st grade and no guys have ever shown an interest. Even now that I am older and have gotten much prettier no one notices me as being attractive. I have been asked a few times to model for companies and I was wondering if anyone thinks that I would be "relooked at" by guys if I was one. I would probably just make a profile and model a few times so it would never be a huge deal in reality, but maybe it would get me the attention I want just once. What do you think?

It is never about what others see... it is your thought that matters.. Chin up, smile, and be proud and confident in who you are.
COLLEGE, is the place that helps too :P

some of these a**holes should get their a**es kicked for being hateful. i went through this also by the time i was in 12th grade they started noticing more. sometimes they notice you but just don't say anything. even if the modeling doesn't get you 'looked at' it definitely would be a good experience. just check out the companies with your parents before you do any of it. when i went to college i got a lot more 'looks' and asked out a lot more. and now as an adult i get asked out even more. a lot of it has to do with the fact you have gone to school with them for all that time. just keep in mind this is just high school and it will pass. in less than 5 years i promise you won't give it a second thought. the real fun starts when you are out on your own and meeting new people that you haven't been stuck with for your entire life! i wouldn't go back to high school if you paid me!

Depends what your point is. Why are you concerned with your peers "noticing" you? If you grew up with the same group of people since 1st grade, it could be that they know you and are used to you. There probably are a few guys who find you attractive, but they might not think you're different enough to be worth "noticing". Maybe you should ask them what they think. Maybe you've got secret crushes all over the place.

Trust me, if you're being asked to model (I used to get asked all the time too), the guys will start noticing you. I had hardly any dates in high school but once I changed my dating pool i.e. going outside of my school area, I found a lot more guys gave me attention and asked me out on dates.
Maybe try some new haunts to meet people. Just know in the end you'll have the last laugh b/c you are probably very pretty and these guys are just too stupid and/or blind right now!

Throughout highschool, I did runway modeling. In answer to your question, it DOES NOT make guys more attracted to you. If you were approached for real modeling, and not just a scammer or swimsuit modeling...you need to understand that it will create more jealousy among girls, and make it harder for guys to approach you. You would have to be prepared for the jealousy to take flight, and cause people to make fun of you to make themselves feel better.
"I would probably just make a profile and model a few times." Real modeling agencies will never have you create a profile. You will be the one to pay for a zed card (a multitude of shots) and they might put you on their website for showcase, and to get you jobs. There is a lot of scammers out there, so you need to be careful. If you do this, and realize you are being scammed, and guys see it...they might think of you as "easy" and "vulnerable." That is NOT what you want.
Be careful, and realize that being a "model" doesn't make you more attractive. If you are attractive, you are attractive. If you aren't physically attractive, you will find someone who cares about you for you.

I felt like that when I was in about grade 9. No guy had ever really (well that I knew about anyways) taken an active interest in me even though people always told me I was pretty etc. So I made some adjustments and got kinda desperate for just at least ONCE you know to confirm how I looked. Well I got what I needed and got a ton of guys after me. That was all I needed. It boosted my confidence in ways you'll never know and I do feel gorgeous and now I know that Im not seeing something different than other people when I look in the mirror lol. Its such a boost to be admired. Good Luck.

What kind of buying signals are you sending these guys??? Do you look over at them, do you show interest??? Do you smile? It may be that these men are afraid to approach you because you are not giving them the right signals... If you are indeed really beautiful then guys may have some fear about approaching you... Show some interest on your part!!! Somthing that I think is pretty sexy is when a girl takes the initiative to approach a guy!!!
Good luck!!!

We have a few models in my school, but they don't get any attention either. We like to make fun of them actually, because they drink bottled water and don't eat much at all. =/ Just be yourself, and don't try to get yourself noticed. All the good guys go for you only when you don't go out looking for them. ;)

This is going to sound kinda heartless but it applies to this question.
When I was in grade school, there was a girl who was a dork. A desaster, even more so than I. When we were going to highschool, she became very attractive. Very. But given the option to date her, I probably wouldnt because all I can remember is her being a huge clutz... I seem to have the same luck with girls that ive gone to school with... since i was myself, a rather large dork.
So, Id say maybe it wouldnt help?

Nah, you probably had an offer to be one of those freaky or "eccentic" models. I'd recommend someone rebuild your ugly face, then the guys will be all over you.

oh i do think so..see if your not as pretty or you hang out with a group that isnt sought after...ur goina kinda establish yourself as that .. youno'? the most atractive thing for guys is when they no other guys want u...join sumthing you like to do..and talk to boys there..that way you have a clear rep...and there starting from just the impresion of you.....
tel me what u think of the advice...maybe in an anser to my questions
bye bye xx
