Unlucky-in-love Cherelle Neille believes she has been unable to find a boyfriend because she is too good-looking.

Single mother Cherelle, 26, from Manchester, claims her beautiful face is a curse - because potential boyfriends only see her as arm candy.

The shop assistant and aspiring actress says her dating life has been a disaster because of her looks and finds that men only want to parade her to their friends and take photos with her.

Cherelle also claims her looks can make men intimidated by her, with most assuming she doesn't have a nice personality.

The stunner has since given up on love - as she is sick of men objectifying her and simply wishes they would like her for her character rather than her appearance.

Former model Cherelle said: 'I feel as though plain Janes have it easier because men will actually get to know their personality as their looks are merely average.

'Whereas for me, it's always the wrong attention, they never want to know me as a person.

'Plain girls end up with the long lasting relationships and I'm the one kissing all the frogs.

'I am sick of people assuming I am nasty when I am really a lovely person. My looks attract the wrong guys and it has been really hard, now I am completely over men.

'They continually think just because I'm good looking, I am going to be rude or stuck up. They say to me "oh you think you are too good-looking don't you?" - which is ridiculous.'

Cherelle added: 'Whenever I am on a date, they only care about what I look like, they never even listen to what I am saying.

'My last boyfriend just paraded me around to his friends and only cared about having his photo taken with me. No man I've met so far is ever actually interested in having a conversation with me.'

Cherelle, who has more than 23,000 followers on Instagram, also receives a constant stream of abusive messages online.

More than just a pretty face: 'Whenever I am on a date, they only care about what I look like, they never even listen to what I am saying,' says single mum Cherelle

She claims being attractive has not only impacted her love life, but also her friendships.

'Girls are jealous too, I only really have one friend,' she said. 'There was this one time I was clubbing with my friend and when we were in the bathroom, loads of girls I didn't know were complimenting me, my hair and my looks.

'Then suddenly my friend walked out and left the club, and she hasn't talked to me since!'

She added: 'If I see a pretty girl I will definitely tell them every time what I love about them, it's nice to be nice. I just don't associate myself with many girls as friends anymore.

Cherelle says she has been having trouble with her dating life for years. With failed relationships and disastrous dates, she wishes her looks stop attracting the wrong attention

Explaining her theory on her disastrous dating history, Cherelle says: 'Girls that are more average-looking get to have those conversations with men and I have to be stuck with men not listening to a word I say'

'I find a lot of girls are insecure and don't know how to compliment each other, other than the drunk strangers in bathrooms.

'On my Instagram I receive countless spiteful messages. One girl messaged me saying "you think you're so pretty but you're not, go kill yourself."

'Another guy recently messaged me saying "you think you are too good for everyone."

'I just wish people didn't judge a book by its cover, because I am not like that.'

Cherelle says she has been having trouble with her dating life for years. With failed relationships and disastrous dates, she wishes her looks stop attracting the wrong attention.

She said: 'This one time when I was on a date, I remember something had happened in the news that day. I was sharing my view on the event, and this guy was not listening in the slightest.

Cherelle also struggles to make female friends, adding: 'If I see a pretty girl I will definitely tell them every time what I love about them, it's nice to be nice. I just don't associate myself with many girls as friends anymore'

'He kept telling me I was pretty and wasn't listening, I then said thank you, and carried on asking him what he thought of it.

'He didn't care and kept talking about my looks and in the end he hadn't listened to a word I was saying.'

Cherelle added: 'I think it's hard having men not actually know me for me, I am funny and I love to have a laugh.

'Girls that are more average-looking get to have those conversations with men and I have to be stuck with men not listening to a word I say.

'Now I just can't be bothered with dating any more. I don't want to be less pretty, I just wish men would treat me differently..

'I think there is a serious problem in society today with the way they treat pretty women.'
