I’m very pretty, but he doesn’t want me. Why?

Because for some people, being pretty is all they have to offer. No, I don’t want to cast aspersions on you, don’t want to insinuate you have nothing going for you besides your looks… but it is something to think about, something to consider.

Ask yourself a question. A bit of an uncomfortable, but a highly necessary question: “Who am I, beyond my looks?” Are you caring, are you kind, are you interesting, as a person? Are you well-read, are you clever, are you someone who has expertise in certain fields, or neat life experiences to share? Do you have any unique or special skills, the ability to do something most of us cannot do?

My latest girlfriend was very pretty, too. But that was pretty much all she was. There are tons of examples of men throughout history who picked beautiful partners, who beyond the beauty had little to offer. Some were crazy. Some even dangerous to the point of ruining their lives. Remember — your looks will fade. Is what will be left “pretty”, too?
