If a woman is desperate she would usually keep grabbing on a guy she likes and try to force her way into his life. As far as appearance if your not dressing slutty then your not desperate. The guy that told you that is an ***.

This is how i tell if a girl is desperate. The BIG thing i and my friends look at and can tell is how they dress. If they are throwing their body's out with very low cut shirts and short skirts they look like a whore who needs attention from many different guys-very desperate. Secondly its how they communicate. Giving a number to a guy without him asking isn't a bad thing, sometimes its nice. but trying to talk to a guy every second of the day comes a crossed needed and desperate.

You don't seem desperate but you do seem a little insecure hence why you are asking this question. Im not trying to be mean just being blunt. Confidence is a nice thing in a girl because they don't need attention from a lot of guys.

I'm female but I don't think you sound desperate. I think it's great that you dress up for yourself! Men won't respect you if you don't respect yourself - the whole insecurity thing is a huge turn off for men and women. Desperate to me is when you put topless bathroom pictures as your facebook profile picture, or say make suggestive/sexual comments about everything and flirt with everything that moves (again, applies to both sexes). Maybe it is the way you act around men that makes you seem desperate? Or maybe the person who told you this just doesn't understand your need to look nice, or he/she is intimidated by you.

That girl was probably jealous. I'm one of those girls who is generally very put-together too, and I often get strange comments from girls. I don't know why, but there is something about looking dressed up that seems to irritate other girls. I definitely don't think this is a turn off for guys. You want to look your best, what's so wrong with that? Do you think sending the message that you're sloppy and careless is going to get guys?

What looks desperate is when you're not wearing much. Too-tight clothes, too much skin...nothing sends the "I'M DESPERATE" message like dressing like you don't value the intimacy of your body enough to keep it hidden.Another thing is excessive flirting and complaining about being single. Other than that, i really can't think of any other signs of desperateness.

There's a difference in looking classy, and desperate. Whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about. As long as it's classy. But if you wear things that show off too much skin, then guys will start to think that you are trying too hard. I have seen plenty of girls wear low-cut tops, and I do not think any less of them. But if you wear Daisy-Duke jeans, or a REALLY short skirt, start walking around with your nose up in the air, and try to "work" your butt when you walk, then guys will start to call you trashy and say you are trying way too hard. Tell me if this advice helped you...

Well the exact opposite of what you need to do is throw the first thing you see on and look like a dumpster. :) And it's okay that you look good! Have a sense of style and class about yourself! It's called pride. And desperate to me is being a poser. I don't want the same thing over and over again. Don't try to fit in! I'd like to have a nice, respectible person. Hope I helped! :) A long time ago, trying to fit in would be trying to look nice. Now it's the exact opposite. :) And to me, no. You do not look desperate.

Personally, to me you do not look desperate at all, but rather you seem to be an intelligent person that takes pride and respect in ones self.

Don't worry. You're fine as you are. It does sound as if you could be overly self conscious for whatever reason, though. If you're going to work on anything, work on giving yourself a break and develop a little more self confidence. And don't get into the trap of believing that things you perceive as going wrong in this aspect of your life are due to anything *you* may (or may not) be doing.

Lack of clothing = desperate

It's nice when women put effort into their outfits.

Just trying to get a date and being open about it to a good amount of guys.
