@hoppytoad79,
Hello Hoppytoad79,
The short answer is rather unpleasant - you either don't have what men want, or you're unatainable - those are the only two answers I can think of.
From those two possibilities :
-dealing with the second one first (because it's the easiest) - being unattainable means you have too many barriers up around you. If so, that is your responsibility to solve (and unfortunately rather difficult - coming from someone who had to remove their own barriers).
-the first one : Men get turned on by physically attractive women - but that's not the be all of attraction - there's many other things that men find attractive :
- energy (most use the word 'life' - she's lively, she's living life, she loves life, etc)
- vulnerability (most men are attracted to a woman who has some vulnerabilities that they can care for)
- femininity (they know how to enjoy being a woman)
- loves guys (rather than hates them...in 'loving guys' you don't have to sleep with any to prove this - if you generically love their company, their bodies, their cavemaness etc - your love of men just shows...and if you're choosy, this becomes even more attractive)
I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
I would go with one of the previous suggestions and talk to one of your male friends about your situation...but make it VERY CLEAR TO HIM that you want the absolute truth from him (he might think, and may well be, risking your friendship to tell you the whole truth
as he sees it...and he may also be risking your self esteem - which he may not want to do). Some symbolic guesture of trust would be appropriate.
After that, perhaps a life coach, or a psychologist (it is very unusual that any attractive girl doesn't have attention all around her)
