I've been wondering for a while, why is it that guys (and girls) don't pick the most attractive girl to date? I know, and I've been told a few times, I'm not a particularly interesting or nice person to look at and I don't feel like I have a hugely attractive personality either. I'm probably a 5 at best, with makeup and spending hours trying to look okay.
But my boyfriend was interested in this girl a year or so ago, who he thinks was also interested in him, and he told me she was probably an 8, though neither of us like to rate people.
He's never had a girlfriend before me, despite liking this girl for months on end, as he said it just didn't feel right with her. I suspect he was scared of rejection though, since I had to make most moves to get us together.
So I've been wondering, though I daren't bring it up to him because he knows I'm insecure already and I don't want to ruin this, why is it he didn't go with an 8 (easily one of the most attractive girls he's probably met) but chose me, who is obviously not the prettiest girl and has some self-confidence issues herself? This girl is his type as well, skinny and beautiful but with big "assets" and I'm a much larger girl with a plain face.
-I know I need to work on my insecurity but I've hated myself since I was young and I'm not sure how to stop disliking how I look, but the question here isn't about my issues-
