I'm having a hard time believing people say i look good. I was raised by a mean man that belittled me alot and the girls in high school gave me alot of shit. idk i just got dumped today and i just dont know if i got what it takes to get another girl to notice me.
"Look good" means different things to different people.
Often I see beauty and good looks where other people don't. When I point out things to friends about a person that I find is lovely to look at, they often see it, but only after I have mentioned it. Quite often, they point out people they find sexually attractive, and I'm all, "Really!?"
I would not say you are the kind of person whose picture is used in Walmart shopper compilations of the more unusual-looking people, so if you mean, do I think your face is more attractive than them, then yes.
But to me, a person looks good when they look me in the eye and smile a real smile.
I was bullied throughout my entire childhood, and believe myself to be extremely unattractive. Friends and family tell me they think I am beautiful and have a lovely smile, but can I believe them? No. I won't go into why that is, but the point is, they say those things because they think they mean them. In my head, I say that they say them because they have a sense of loyalty to me for some reason.
But the fact of the matter is, just as I see beauty and good looks in people for various reasons, perhaps they see beauty and good looks in me because they know me.
You might not be model-in-a-magazine material in some peoples' eyes, but you are in others. Some say you cannot be attractive to anybody unless you can be attractive to yourself. That's utter crap. It's the same as saying you cannot be loved by anybody unless you love yourself. But if that were true, my mum wouldn't love me (okay, she sort of has to, but I know what I mean).
You have just been through a horrible, horrible time, and still are, obviously, and it will take time to heal from it. Yes, you DO have what it takes for another girl to notice you, but it takes time, because what attracts some of us lasses is not what you face is like, but the expressions your face shows us is in your heart. Some people will laugh at me saying that, but we aren't all about initial appearances and whether your face has a wow factor.
An eye contact smile has a wow factor for me. Try that when you are ready. Being dumped is awful and hurtful and crap, but when you heal from it, please don't be afraid to try to learn to be comfortable with those who tell you that you look good. Because to them, you DO. Write them down! Read them when you feel crap! You might not believe them, but people said those things to you. And unless you want to call them liars, then there must be a grain of truth to it.
And if you were with a girl once, you can be with a girl again. And the hope is that she is the right one. Good luck! Sorry for waffling!
Ut incepit fidelis, sic permanet.

My opinion isn't going to help you any. What do you think?
Your girlfriend was attracted enough to you that she wanted to be in a relationship with you. I doubt the breakup had anything to do with your looks. If you can attract one girl you can attract another one.
I think people change quite a bit during their twenties. I know I did. You grow up and sometimes start to want different things. Try not to take it personally. Just because one girl has chosen to move on it doesn't mean no girl will want to be with you.
Through my teen years, I felt really shitty about the way I looked (more my body than my face). I made light of it and acted like it didn't bother me so much and that worked pretty well in most respects. I had superb confidence in every aspect of my life... except my love life.
I turned to my religion to help me find love and it worked. Since then I have been made to feel like I am truly beautiful, inside and out.
I hope that one day you will find someone or something that will make you feel like you are beautiful.
(And, for what it's worth, I don't think you're unattractive).
(Also, I feel justified answering here due to my often excessive femininity).
your a cutey, fix up, get some new clothes and have confidence and believe in yourself!
Everything happens for a reason. Live for the moment and have no regrets.
thanks every one for the replays so far. your word are very kind thanks
I think you're adorable and I'm coming over with the glue to repair your self -esteem.
I know you're asking the gals but here it is from my viewpoint: purely from your profile picture I'd say you were pretty attractive. It's the eyes, you have lovely deep eyes. In your bio you come across as a person who has moments of confidence -much like myself. As for the question "am I ugly?" it is my belief that if a person thinks ugly - if they are nasty to others or they just have a fowl temperament that is what makes them ugly, not their looks. I know it's a cliché and pretty standard advice to say "you'll find someone who loves you for you" but it is true. It may take months, maybe days, even decades or lifetimes (it's my spiritual belief that the same soul is used over and over again, just with different vessels and names to the vessels, but let's disregard this) but you will eventually find someone who loves you regardless of your "faults" as society would put it. I for one don't find you unattractive and neither does the woman sitting next to me.
Everyone feels ugly and 'not good enough' when they get dumped.
Don't worry.
You look fine. Trust me, I would tell you if you were hopeless or ugly. You're not.
Your ego is understandably shattered right now, but that will heal. Have some fun rebound sex, take a mini-vacay with your buddies, flirt and casually date, and just enjoy life. Summer is the best time of the year to be single, anyway.
What I find most sexy in a man is one with irrational, unshakeable confidence, a passion for something and an ambition to do what he wants in life. The way he carries and presents himself, too. Hun, please don't validate (or invalidate) yourself on a sex story site forum! There's no reason at all why you should feel unattractive!
Not at all. But you seem to lack self confidence. Dont worry about the fact that she dumped you. She was attracted enough to you to want you in the first place right? Just go get back in the saddle and have the ride of your life!!
No, you're not ugly. But your confidence issue is not helping you at all either. As MF said, of course these people are going to tell you what you want to hear! Let me break this down into bite sized testosterone friendly pieces: 1) Fuck bitches. 2) Get money. 3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 infinitely.
Everybody has something they like; everybody has something they don't. You will find some girls(and guys) will find you attractive while others are going to think you're not their cup of tea. Go with it. Find the ones who are interested & don't stress the rest!
I think you are adorable.
I agree with naughty nurse. Not everyone is going to have the same opinions.
One person might think you are goregous while their friend might think your bland. But to me I think you look sweet.
I'll be honest, you're a cute guy!! Just relax and have fun, enjoy life.
you are very good looking sugar!!
but until YOU believe it, we can speak ourselves silly
you will always see yourslf as that abused little boy
dont give that horrible man all THAT power
believe..in you
You are an attractive guy. Love you eyes especially. Don't let the past bring you down, just think of it as a new start. =]
