I firmly believe that ugly people do exist. Also, there are naturally beautiful people and no amount of "artificial" beauty can change that. This includes changing your clothes, your haircut etc. Yet time and time again I read posts on TSR where users say that one of these things:

*Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
*Someone will like you for who you are
*You're not ugly, you just have low self-esteem/confidence
*Personality counts
and other things.

This leads me to think "do genuinely ugly people exist"? It seems that many members of TSR give the impression that genuinely ugly people don't exist and it's a matter of changing one's clothes or one's attitude to life. Then you will be beautiful if you make changes like that.

Is this true TSR?

[I have a question]

Anything you say is true im so academic.

[Cephalus]

Ann Widdecombe?

[sarahlabrosse]

It is true in the eye of beauty, the beholder of knowledge will percieve its truths...

[R4INBOW]

It's true.

When people say that stuff it's usually to people who really aren't ugly but merely think they are, and changing one's style and clothing can really help. Yes, there are ugly people out there who won't be able to look good no matter what they do, like the elephant man.

Some people are better looking than others.
Some people are more attractive than others.
The people who are better looking are not necessarily the ones who are more attractive.
Most people are not telling you that everyone is as beautiful as each other and that some people are not better looking than others. By giving you suggestions like get a nice haircut, they are only trying to help you become better looking than you already are but you clearly will never be satisfied unless you are perfect - something you will never achieve.

Well I've seen some ugly people in my time.

Yet men prefer natural beauty. Is this true or not true?

What about good ol' Andrew Lloyd Webber?

genuinly ugly people (physically) do exist but they are very rare, same goes for genuinely beautiful.

[dinrah04]

I don't know about ugly, but I know some people are genuinely not visually attractive, people that absolutely nobody would consider attractive (sample size being school) but I'm sure as it's subjective even they'll find somebody. I mean everyone goes on about Megan Fox but I can't even see what's so good about her. I'm sure for every top model, we can find a million people in the world who find them unattractive.

Just looked in the mirror, ugly people definitely do exist

he's not the most attractive but he's not hideously ugly

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

I think that something like this is so subjective that it's up to you to personally decide if ugly people exist and who they are.

What has that got to do with what I said?

Yes men will prefer a natural beauty who looks like Kim Kardashian but without having to wear a kg of make up and who will cook them a gourmet breakfast whilst sucking their dick every morning and never aging and always maintaining perfect measurement.s

1. Every man knows this is not reality
2. I will have a few people who think Kim kardashian isnt even good looking which leads me to
3. Not everyone is attracted to the same thing. So like I said before, if you are living your life to please everyone else(or every man), then you will never be happy because you will never ever be good enough. No one is good enough for that.

[Joshuano]

I'm pretty ****ing ugly.

Do you know what kind of struggle that man must go through everyday. Who cares about who is ugly.. that is disgusting that you would say he was ugly.

He isn't the best looking but it's not called ugly. Please never use that phrase when referring to someone who is disfigured.

Yes. Lettuce be reality, there are women who are 1/10. However, keep hope ISA. There's a guy counter-part like this:
