no, it's not true, you are generalizing. if this is what you have witnessed or have heard, then I suggest that you please expand your view.

It is true that girls are usually too shy to ask a handsome guy out why they ask the ugly ones instead?

Well, personally, I don't go for ugly girls--I just go for average girls. Being a guy, I figure that I'm OK looking and that a pretty girl would want to date some popular jock type so I shy away from the pretty girls. Believe it or not, guys self-esteem can be just as low as girls. So in conclusion to your question I think that about at least 80% of guys go for 'ugly'-er girls.

No not all guys are, some are very forward. I however am shy, but I don't ask out ugly ones ether. Girls should be able to ask out guys if they like them for the reason that some are shy around girls they like.

no not true. If a guy is too shy he wont ask any girl. If you are one of the pretty girls worried about the ugly girls stealing your men, LOL...sorry that's just so funny. If a guy likes you he'll find your beauty, and if he hates you he'll find your faults. Guys ask girls out according to opportunity. Less endowed girls perhaps receive more attention because they are more approachable. If you want a guy to ask you out you have to be approachable

This is a really good question. There has actually been a lot of research on this type of thing.
You're right. They call it the "matching principle." Basically, guys (and girls) generally don't try to date the most attractive people possible. They try to date people that they think are as attractive as they are.
If a guy is very attractive (or just thinks he is very attractive) he will probably ask out girls that are very attractive. But then the girls will only go out with him if they think he is as attractive (not more or less attractive) as they are.
This is why you see attractive, nice guys with ugly girls sometimes. These guys have low self esteem and underestimate their attractiveness. It's also how you see ugly guys that are jerks with very attractive girls. The jerk guy overestimates his own attractiveness so he asks out the pretty girl. And she says yes because she has low self esteem.
But most of the time you end up with good looking guys dating good looking girls, and ugly guys dating ugly girls.

Not in that sense.. Guys usually same as girls will get butterfly in the stomach when asking the girls they really like. This is often because the fear of rejection...
This does not have to do with whether the girls are pretty or not.
take care

i personally get scared asking out the prety girls, so i go with not ugly, but the girls who are pretty and friends its a more likeley chance for a yes! for example at summer school there is this one girl Cali, very popular and I am very attracted to her. Im just so afraid to talk to her. But then another girl, a friend asks me out and we have lots of fun so I guess sometimes girls are too pretty! lol

I know a lot of pretty girls who go though life date-less because average guys won't approach them because of their looks. A women with great looks usually carries the stigma around that they are looking for a male with comparable looks, when they are actually starving for any type of relationship. Women with this issue are the ones that need to make their availability known to the men with less than perfect looks. Looks are only skin deep, It's what's on the inside that counts.
