Okay, now I dont wont to come across as someone who is transfixed on looks, because im not, but I fear most people are. This thought has started to emerge more and more in my mind as mostly everybody I try to speak to just looks at me and decides to ignore me. For this to happen I can only come to the conclusion that I must be one really unattractive person. I would just like to know whether this is the case. Please answer truthfully as I need some type of closure to move forward.

Haha, no you're alright mate. Maybe you're just weird.

Well honey I don't think that it is because you are unattractive at all. You are actually a very good looking guy. I wouldn't think that there are very many 16 year old girls on here (but I might be wrong.) If this is the case it would mean that you are going after older girls and that just might be why they are not giving you the time of day. You should get out and be with kids your own age and then you would probably have more than enough girls that would like to be with you. All this is coming from an old lady here so what do I know!! lol Just hate to see you think that way about yourself. You are a Q~T!!! Take care sweety and good luck!!

Calm down, I would say you're quite a hansome guy. You shouldn't worry - most normal people look in a mirror and don't feel too much - and probably get a slight confusion if they stare too long, it's kinda natural. If you get some confidence, generosity, a sense of humour and purpose; you'll see how attractive you really are reflected on what counts - the expressions of people's faces; not in that mirror in the bathroom.

btw; You should go for girls who are natural beauties, who've got a bit more in there make-up than cosmetics. Give try-hards who are caught up in the celeb lookalike/looks culture a wide birdth - seems to be a viscous circle - thier insecurities will/have rubbed off on you.

Maybe go rock climbing or learn guitar, do some karate, freerunning...whatever - girls like guys who are into stuff. Yeah, there is 'looks' thing going about in society, which is pretty strong in your age group - but that's mainly because people don't know what to do with themselves, so look at others - you're not the only one lacking confidence, feeling the pressure, thinking everyone else is having love. Get moving now, and you'll feel better about yourself, you'll make more friends, the rest will follow.

I agree with the comments above with the addition that may be at least one photo with you wearing a smile, and or showing something you're 'into' in the background.
I like your pics but girls your age are more bothered about appearances and may be looking for that 'pop star' hairdo or image. Good luck.

im a wierd one when it comes to looks, i ignore the attractive people who ask me out, yet the ones i dont really find myself attracted to i go for...
based upon that logic ive found myself absoulutley inlove with a very small blonde man, (complete opposite of my ideal perfect type) with hardly any teeth and 9 years older than me and a misshaped head and yet when i look at him i go all silly and googly eyed. unexplainable? looks stand for nothin???? dunno?

Welll, you're not bad looking. Maybe it's cos you haven't written much on your profile?

This got me thinking just now, 'cos I do get a steady flow of messages but if I look and count how many people had actually looked at my profile and moved on it's a lot. I just hadn't really noticed that the majority don't wana know me either haha!!

^join the club ... you either click with someone or you don't... and to be fair if i had a penny for the number profiles I've viewed and not pursued, I'd be pretty rich... Some things just take time?

OK i deleted my photo and altered my profile message here purely to reflect my feelings, Yeah i've noticed that visitors have dried up except for cammers and spammers! but what the hell I'm practicing what the larger majority of female members already do! Rudeness! Please note this comment is not applicable to all!

In the last 10 days i've joined two other sites and in 10 days i've had more direct messages and replies than i've had here in 3 years?? for me at least that speaks volumes! OK i have to weed out scammers etc!but FB has it's fair share too. Both the other sites are minus chat rooms, Reason perves and rude kids! stops em dead!

I'm content to remain a grey man and poston the forums only andnoted that Grooveme gave my pic a 2!! How long have my pics been here LOL mind you i think i got a 1 formypic so it was an improvement LOL

Note read between the lines i have a Droll Sense of humour!! few can understand it properly
