Question to 15-20 yr olds about girls that aren't 'pretty' not dating?

Question

Hi.
i was talking to a freind yesterday, who said that he diddnt think girls that are not pretty should date.;
I think thats really bad and shallow, but he says, most boys would prefer it that way..
Is this true, that most 15 - 20 yr old guys think girls that are not pretty shouldn't date???
Thank you to all helpful answers in advance
=)

the thing with him is that in every girl who i have asked, he is hot.. and he says he wouldn't want to kiss someone who is not hot.. : /
Thank you to all answers so far, they have confirmed that im not going mad, and there are some decent people out there!

i meant to say before, (in the added details bit) that in most girls view, he is hot..

Answer 1

Everyone deserves to date.. Your friend IS shallow.

Answer 2

I'm probably too old to be answering this, I'm 30, but you are right sister, he IS shallow. EVERYONE deserves the chance to date. And if there is someone who is not pretty, there is going to be someone that thinks you are. It just may take you awhile to find them. I'm not a classic beauty (many of my male friends think I'm beautiful) in school I was the fat kid with glasses... My boyfriend looking back at old pictures was NERDY looking! Some would still say he's ugly now, but what do they know? We are cute together, and he loves me for me, and we are the love that the other has waited for. Maybe in time this guy will grow up and realize that he's selling himself short. I mean I limited myself all through high school, I only had eyes for the jocks who only had eyes for the cheerleaders.. you grow out of it. Yes, you still kinda have a type that you stick to, but you grow out of the shallowness phase, and it's not borne out of desperation as you get older! And in type, I like men that are tall and thin. My best friend likes men that are tall and not necessarily fat but alot bigger.

Hope this helps.

And just who is this friend who knows everything? The old saying is that "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" do you understand what that means> It means that you could think a girl or guy is attractive and another could think that the girl or guy is not, it is up to YOU to determine whether or not you should date a person or not. Some people judge others and not themselves.

Answer 4

i am not in that age group but i know how i felt as a 20 yr old , sorry but that age group is still very childish , i used too think erh i could never go out with someone who wore glasses, or had spots etc , a few years later [ not that many ] those kind of feelings disappear , your friend might fall for someone who other people think should have a bag over their head , but he will think she is stunning , we all dont have the same tastes everyone is gorgeous too someone else . if most women thought the same thing he wouldn't get one date , beauty is one thing but his attitude stinks .

Answer 5

What does he being hot have to do with wheather someone less fortunate in the looks department can have a happy life. He needs therapy on what life is about. Thoes looks are going to change befor he knows it unless he has lots of money for nip and tuck and a personality , character.Geeeeeees!

Answer 6

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . How true ! This particular beauty seems to be very narrow in his concept of life . I think what he is saying is that he would not date someone he did not fancy ! thats cool ,unless its someone interesting . Just remember though people fancy people for different reasons . Chemistry has a role in this . ( who wants someone that every one wants anyway ? )

Answer 7

He sounds like a very shallow individual. He isn't content to just not date non-pretty girls himself, but is claiming that non-pretty girls shouldn't date anyone at all?

In my opinion, you deserve better friends than that.

Answer 8

does your friend have a heart? if she has it must be as small as a mouse
well i think all the guys are different from each other some are attracted to girls who are pretty and who has a good figure but some boys see through a girls heatr nor her outer beauty. i know so many of my friends who are not so pretty but they do have boyfriends. so take my advise and try to stay away from your so called friend

Answer 9

And i take it that he is a hunk? Is he dating?
If he has an opinion like that, he must be someone special, and hasn't he ever heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that beauty is more than skin deep?
Everyone deserves to be in love and dating, and to be honest, i think your friend is heading for heartache if that is opinion. I would sooner be with someone who is genuine and is a good person and loves me, regardless of whether they look good or not. If he limits his standards to someone who he thinks is hot, he may also end up being very lonely and hurt.
What one person considers to be sexy, may make the next persons skin crawl. Forget boys like that, and pitty them, they have a lot to learn and will probably learn the hard and hurtful way.
Go out and have fun, thats what makes someone attractive, whether they can enjoy themselves and likes to smile!!
Keep smiling!! x
Looks fade, and in 30 years time he may be a dog and with an attitude like that, well....

Answer 10

a 15yr old dates only for lust n not because he or she wants to know someone better...as a person grows older they understand that love is not only about looks but also about how the person is so dnt lose heart if a 15 yr old says that only pretty gals should date....n hey remember beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...isnt it

Answer 11

Every body has their own definition of pretty / attractive / beautiful. Therefore, everyone has qualities that will attract other people. Tell that shallow, pathetic friend of yours he should show some respect to everyone, not just to the "pretty" people.

I hope every girl rejects him and he lives a lonely life
