[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um maybe personality or other things matter more than just level of prettiness? What an extremely petty post.  Hard to believe mothers reduce their own daughters value down to beauty- this is what we all grow up with. [/quote]

OP here. Of course appearance is the least important thing. Both DDs are intelligent, funny, and athletic. However, let’s be honest; teenage boys tend to focus on looks, especially if it’s just a crush and not a real relationship. Plus, 16 yo is relatively shy/reserved, whereas 15 yo is much more outgoing. Personality takes longer to see in someone than outward appearance.[/quote]

Teenage boys focus on looks yes, but they are [b]more focused on not being rejected. [/b]Personality and approachability play a role here.  The boys want to know the girls are also interested in them.[/quote]

Yes! Especially since they spent their middle school years in Covid--this group of 16/17 year olds are a bit stunted socially (even the most "cool" among them). 
The girls that are popular with guys and dating are generally those who are easy to talk to.
  
My 17 year old daughter has some gorgeous friends who have never dated and I think it's mostly because they clam up around guys they're even the slightest bit interested in.  This is no criticism-my daughter is the same way and also has not dated.  Her friends who can chit chat about sports or movies or silly stuff with guys are the ones who have boyfriends, dates, etc.  [/quote]
