The same face I’ve woken up to for many years. I hate being treated as an object and prefer being seen as someone who is educated, cultured, and imperfect.

Similarly, I prefer meeting people who are human, with human foibles and imperfections.

Honestly, if all you’re looking for is a pretty face to sit on, you’re probably barking up the wrong tree.

I’m good looking, sporty, but terrible shy, and find it difficult to communicate with the same sex. So most men think I’m a snob.. makes it hard to meet guys..

Hi guy, you have what most of us crave! You don’t need the approval of anyone to be good looking, happy and healthy. Enjoy!
Whereabouts are you?

different ethnicities. I dont usually like articles like this it seems as if they gloss over certain issues that ethnic minorities are aware of and white people are completely oblivously to. So even if you’ve got a good body, have trendy clothing and a sexy haircut, even if you have a wonderful personality and ooze confidence, would most guys go out with someone who is asian or black? puh-leese!!! i’m asian and no matter how intelligent I am (i’m doing a phd in science), no matter how outgoing or trendy I am, no matter confident I am, no matter how much I have a accomplished ( I’ve won national awards for my scientific research)…most guys wouldnt even consider getting to no me because the standard of beauty is white. so white guys have nothing to complain about because ethnic minorities are invisible. If you’re a white guys and you have no confidence then thats a decision you have made. when it comes to us minorities we are invisible whether we like it or not. then on the other hand there are guys out there with asian fetishes. they get completely obsessed with you because of the colour of your skin, which is just as bad as rejecting you because of it. thats why I totally disagree with point number 8 “different strokes for different folks”. if different strokes means developing a fetish for some ethnicity instead of seeing everybody as humans then the person who wrote this article needs to get a clue.
