Guys, do you get verbal abuse from girls about your appearance

I m a girl (in my twenties) For so many times in my life I have been called horrible names about my physical appearance, by boys and by grown up men. This has always been unprovoked. The instances are from strangers and a few times from people I know.
Its normally names like 'dog' 'ugly' 'man' to be short.

I have only been insulted by women maybe 2 times in my life , and even that was indirectly.
I love my male friends, but I've never opened up about being insulted like this by strangers.
(yes I suppose i would be considered unattractive)

I am asking the guys here, have you been insulted about your appearance in a nasty way by girls? (or other guys), does it happen often? and how does it make you feel?

thanks

I asked my partner, he said no, somewhat unsurprisingly. The only 'abuse' he has ever had from women has been more towards his often slightly antagonistic/inappropriate personality, so he's usually deserved it in some way and it doesn't upset him. Once someone included the word 'chubby' in one of those emotional responses, but that isn't really a negative as he is chubby. P: 'Personal insults about looks don't really happen...'
Nope

about my behaviour though, yeah tbh

I used to, but then I became shockingly handsome.

no but I have been labelled a psycho, sociopath etc.. which actually can be quite hurtful.
I'm sure girls do say things just behind my back
