I have a friend, who can not find a man, how do I tell her in a nice way that it is because she is stuck up?
She has been married once and has two kids 10 and 11 years old, she is 38 and has a good job and is nice looking.

I would not use the term " stuck up" I would first tell her all the positive qualities you think she posses and tell her that you think sometimes because of it that you feel that she looks down on others .Tell her that is not wrong to set high standards for herself but try to give people chances because no one is perfect and if she is looking for perfection that is impossible and try to strive to look for excellence.

I think you should just say it how it is, stuck up isn't anything nice so her hearing it will not be nice either. If she gets mad then she cant handle the truth. But i also understand that that is probably your friend and you dont want to get her mad at you, so tell her when the conversation about her not able to get a man, tell her, i dont want you to get mad at me, im just telling you because you are my friend but if you want it to work out maybe you should not be so stuck up. tell her: being stuck up is not a bad thing, but too much is. Alittle hard to get turns a guy on but a little too stuck up turns them way off. between you and me thats probably why shes not with her baby daddy any more. Good luck. if you dont want to be so blunt you can probably say it as nice as you can. But if you are true friends she should understand your solution to her problem.

Maybe she's using the 'stuck up' thing as a shield; she's once bit; twice shy! She sounds to be in a good place, but if your worried, then try using an analogy: talk about someone ELSE who's stuck up and how they're not getting anywhere in the BF department....she might get the message that way; but make it as real as possible!

You don't! Unless, of course, you want to lose her friendship. Let's reverse rolls....what if YOU couldn't find a man and she felt it was because you were to much of a happy person. Maybe she sees 'happy' as 'being silly'. Would you want her to point that out to you? If your answer is yes, then hey, you should have no problems telling her point-blank that she's stuckup and hope your friendship remains intact. But if your answer is no, then take into consideration that what you see as 'stuckup' may be a matter of her having set herself a higher standard in the opposite sex than what she was married to before.
Personally, I'd zip the lip. She'll find someone she's attracted to eventually and you'll still have her friendship.

Just tell her to let up some. Hell, if she is stuck up, she just probably need "some." And if that is really the case, then you just need to flat out tell her! Be like, "Look, you need to take the head-in-the-clouds thing down a notch because you getting on other people's nerves and mine as well." If she gets mad its because you are telling the truth.

Tell her that she treats men like they are not deserving of her. Dont come right out and say "stuck up!" She'll get the picture.

Thats her problem and not yours to bring to her attn. If thats the way she wants to go let her. But if you insist on saying something tell her maybe it's because BLAH BLAH but this will hurt her and she might just get mad.... good luck

I'll tell her.
Sometimes a real friend has to be bold. I would appreciate it if it were me.
Tell her she's not open enough to different men. Tell her get out of the box.
