My close friends always say I'm pretty and "better than average looking" but when I look in the mirror all I see is an ugly girl. I feel like they only tell me that I'm pretty because they don't want to hurt my feelings. I can tell I'm the "ugly friend" because when we go out no boy ever looks at me, they always look at my friends. I know one person has a crush on me and he's decent looking so that confuses me even more, but he hasn't had the balls to ask me out. My body type is athletic and slightly hourglass. I hate it because I lift just as much as a lot of boys. I feel manly. I want to look feminine but if I stop working out I won't be able to run track and I'll get fat. Very sorry this is so long I just want to know if how I'm feeling is normal and my appearance is normal.

    How many meters are you running? I thought the track build was more about being skinny than muscular, but I guess you could be a sprinter.

    Focus on looking feminine and being charming. Makeup, your hair and what you wear can make a huge difference.

      I run the 400 meter in track (one lap) and also throw discus (like a heavy mini frisbee). As for makeup and hair I agree I could wear more makeup but my hair is a lost cause. It is so frizzy and poofy and I have tried almost every product ever made to help it. And it's not like I have massive forarms or anything just bigger than most girls.

    Boys look at girls who are pretty but also at girls who are confident. If you don't feel pretty boys won't look at you. Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful women in history but she was playing a part of a confident star, when she was just herself people in the street didn't even notice her. So I'd say it sounds like you need to be kinder to yourself. Look yourself in the mirror every day and tell yourself that you are beautiful, that you are loved and that you are good enough.
