No, I am not nearly as pretty as that, unfortunately.
Not even horny guys my age would want to get it on with me, even if I had a sack on my head. |
If you are a geek like that, get into a geeky environment!
I had a gf who was pretty, but not outrageously, overwhelmingly beautiful. But she worked as an engineer in an all male environment and literally everybody was after her.
She had lots of options and is now married to a top echelon manager of a Fortune 500 tech company.
I am not saying that you would have as wide an array of options as she had, because, for one, she was pretty, and, for another, it was 10 years ago and now it is much harder to find an all male environment full of geeks because of the influx of women into geeky occupations.
But still, your chances would be much higher. Plus, those people would appreciate your geekiness, wit, quick mind etc.
Very seriously and without kidding - think of that when you choose your education and profession.
Also, I knew many girls in tech who were NOT pretty, unlike that gf of mine who was pretty but just not outright beautiful. Every single one of them eventually got married, on top of having successful careers. I do not work in the same company with them anymore, but shortly before I left, I ran into one of them and she had a huge belly.
So there you have it - congregate and socialize with geeky guys. Plus, they tend me make good money, which is a consideration for the future (obviously you are not yet thinking along those lines, but it is never too early to start).
