Basically, people react badly towards those declaring themselves highly intelligent and "very pretty", regardless of whether the common consensus supports that opinion.
They are instantly predisposed to being overly critical of the person, to challenge these assertions.
I think some people here are doing this, and that this is unfair - but not unexpected.
Unfortunately, without knowing you well, we aren't in a position to determine why you can't get a boyfriend. Certainly we're in no better position than you are, and since we only have your side of things, I doubt we can give you any new insight.
I'd suggest you ask your 5 close friends, see what they have to say. Tell them not to worry about hurting your feelings, and for them to be as honest as possible. They might be able to help.
All you'll get from us a vague speculation and probably some acerbic and disparaging remarks. Oh and some optimistic 'hang in there girl!' encouragement, too.
I'm smart, pretty, weird, and I can't get a boyfriend
