The thing is, that "RealBeauty" campaign is a lie. | by RetiQlum2 | 2006-10-17 10:36:42 |

Not ugly. | by RetiQlum2 | 2006-10-17 10:57:14 |

It's *all* "compared to others". | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 11:21:36 |

You are acting like a dumbass. | by RetiQlum2 | 2006-10-17 12:16:13 |

I repeat my other response: | by RetiQlum2 | 2006-10-17 12:36:35 |

... and why would anyone choose 'less attractive'? | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 12:42:05 |

So, an exception. And already taken. (n/t) | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 14:40:47 |

I'll admit I'm not the norm, but I'm not unique | by quilting_kitty | 2006-10-17 14:55:29 |

How can I "like and accept" what makes me hideous? (n/t) | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 14:59:48 |
|
Like and accept YOU. Your thoughts, feelings, | by quilting_kitty | 2006-10-17 15:38:45 |
|
The question is what *doesn't* make me hideous. (n (n/t) | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 15:54:26 |
| It's the wallowing/self-pity that's a turnoff. |

Even if you were Orlando Bloom's identical twin, your current schtick is a big turnoff. Nobody wants to be around somebody so negative and down on themselves all the time. The pretty guy will catch a woman's eye, but once she finds out he has "issues," the smart ones move on to the next prospect.
If you keep telling people that you are a certain way, they will believe you.
I'm not saying that you need to be as smooth as James Bond or as slick as a salesman. Personality overcomes looks. It can "bring down" good looks, or shine through someone plainer. It doesn't matter if you look like a Greek god; if you have a toxic personality, you're SCREWED.
Do whatever you need to do to work through this, but DO work through this. Don't wallow or stagnate, or you're sure to be on the business end of many LARTs here.
What, you were expecting a Care Bears approach? |

So I should go out and pretend to be hot s4? | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 18:29:43 |

I'd say "be yourself..." | by esbita | 2006-10-17 18:44:49 |

Why pretend? | by imperito | 2006-10-17 18:55:36 |

I've been exercising, jobhunting, and socializing. | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 19:02:14 |

And all 3 take serious time to take effect. (n/t) | by esbita | 2006-10-17 19:13:34 |

They're more pain than they're worth. | by Phoon | 2006-10-17 19:32:32 |

It's painfully obvious that you're not ready to go | by voxwoman | 2006-10-17 19:50:35 |
