i think EVERYONE'S pretty. honestly, like if i go somewhere, i'd look at someone and be like, "oh, she's pretty." when everyone else would go like, "omg! that girl is so ugly!" and its the same with guys. i have the weirdest taste in guys. i dont like guys everyone else thinks is hot. i mean, i think they're hot, but i wouldnt like them. i go for completely average guys or guys u no one would ever think about liking. i'm even ashamed of telling someone i think a certain guy is cute cuz they're ALWAYS like, "HIM? ew!" do i have something wrong with my brain?

and now, for the first time, i like a guy who everyone else would think is hot, except he barely talks. hes got the whole blonde, hazel eyed thing going. and i never go for guys like that. i always go for burnettes or weird guys.

From the sounds of it, you are suffering from an extreme case of depth.
It's a terrible affliction that some people suffer from that causes them to value a person by what they are in actions and at heart not just on the outside.
There is no cure and, unfortunately, it is not highly contagious.
You can see the the outter beauty and looks but you can also look beneath that too to the way the person's actions are.
The "hot" popular guys your friends are drooling over is most likely stuck on himself too and may even be cocky and unpleasant to down right mean to those he sees as beneath him (poor, not hot, not as smart, not a jock, whatever).
Keep up the good work and don't even THINK about trying to get rid of this. It is what makes you special and a better person than the shallow people who only look at the wrapping and not at the contents of the package.

There's nothing wrong, in fact I think that you, compared to your friends, are much more tolerant and more appreciative of real beauty. I take it that you are a highschooler, well it's an ugly time for wanting appreciation. Pretty, athletic, financially spoiled, and cool kids rule the cliques and too often set the social standard for everyone. If one doesn't fit in, they tell them off.
The way I see it in your sense, you have a choice. You can get to know the average kids because you are not afraid of your reputation going down he toilet for it, or you can pass them by and stay with the friends you have because you are too cowardly to think of what could happen otherwise.
But let me tell you this, I was not popular in school, in fact after being bullied in middle school and being ignored in high school it led me to having a poor self-image to where I became suicidal after my first year of college. I feel that no matter who your friends are, the way that you make friends with others can determine who you are as a person. If you choose to play a hating game then all you show is contempt for someone without actually knowing them, and it hurts. Always be nice to everyone.

No sweetie. There is nothing wrong with the guys you like. I think it has a lot to do with what standards our media is portraying, what we're SUPPOSED to like. Don't anybody except for maybe your closest girl friend and the guy. If you like him and maybe he likes you what does it matter? When you get older you realize SOOOOOO much that what other people think is so not important. if I would've gone along with what everyone thought about my man, We wouldn't have gotten together, moved out, engaged and pregnant... A NEW LIFE FOR ME! And I love him to death... ahhhh... anyway, you get my point. F*** everyone else, I say. Go with your gut and besides, you CAN NOT help who you like. There is obviously something wrong with whoever it is you're telling because if they were a real bud, they wouldn'y be so judgemental.

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with you and you are not retarded. At your age everything goes around emotions and visual aspects. Therefore, most people go for the guys they find most visually appealing and vice-versa. As you mature, you will find that appearances are less important than other attributes - ie sense of humour, respect, manners, IQ etc. For now, you are just having fun so don't take yourself seriously just enjoy!

It shows maturity and I admire that ur different from ur friends/ more mature because judging someone because of their appearance is childish, and some adults do it today. Plus the opinions of others shouldnt matter, as long as you like them, thats all that matters. You're not retarded, you're smart, and mature. You know what real love is and you appreciate it. Don't worry about your superficial friends, in time they will mature and see real beauty too.

No, you're fine. Think about it - you like the guys no one else pays attention too. Guess what that means? They're available! Plus, based on your description, they won't be your typical jock assholes and they will truly care for you and treat you like you deserve to be treated. Its nice to see that there are girls who don't fall for asshole jocks. keep going, kid. You'll have many happy relationships ahead.

It's hard for some of us to see the beauty in certain people. What you have is an asset, not a liability.
Don't lose it.
Sincerely,
An ugly guy

You have no problem... your parents raised you well though. By what you said, I bet you go for character over looks and just find funny or wierd or entertaining guys hot. No problem with that...
