I'm sick of being ugly!

Through school I never really struggled getting girls. I wasn't the most successful within the school or anything but I meeting girls wasn't a problem. In year 11 I found myself in a serious relationship with someone I truly loved for two years. The relationship ran its course and we are no longer together but are good friends nonetheless. My girlfriend was, and still is, much better looking than I am, which is great, as I really don't think of much of myself looks wise. The weird thing is, I guess, is that I "ended it". Anyway, in college, when the relationship was over, I had a couple of flings with girls who yet again, were better looking than I am. The trouble is, things have dried up recently, and I can't help think that comparatively, I have become worse looking over time. I'm pale, skinny, have a big nose, receding hairline, goofy teeth and absolutely no definition to my face. A real catch, aren't I. Anyway, what can I do to overcome this problem that is clearly affecting my self esteem? I do a good job at hiding the problems I have with my looks in life, I'm sure I come across as quite confident.

I get the my-boyfriend-is-better-looking-than-me blues in every relationship. I suppose you (and I) have to realise that these beautiful people would not want to date us if we were that gross. In a nutshell, you're not as 'ugly' as you think you are.

That's seriously cute. Especially the goofy teeth. :smile:

Gym. Girls aren't TOO bothered with looks, they're a bonus. Just gym some confidence, and you'll be fine.
you should feel lucky that you have been punching above your weight

or (typical response to this type of thread)

you're not ugly, i'm sure you're very attractive. Anybody that does say that you girlfriend was more attractive then you are just jealous. Those girls probrably have nothing apart from there looks.
aw don't be, its whats inside that counts, not the outside, uh isn't it?

Beauty is more than just aesthetics. And by the sounds of it you're far from ugly...Hope you feel better soon :hugs:

Yup. Plenty of ugly (as sinnnn) birds about, but check out the behind, and your'll see their inner beauty...yesss.

I love being a sexist pig. It gets me horny.

OP: Don't worry about it mate, just a lull is all. I had one that lasted 17years once man, was proper ****e :wink:. From the sounds of it you can meet girls and form successful relationships...two years is twice my longest lol :smile:. Just relax, and they shall come :p:.

Everyone worrys about how they look sometimes man. I'm tall skinny and pale, but feck it, get down the gym (will do that one of these days), eat right (McDonalds), some multivitamins etc. All that health jazz. You most likely look far better than you think you do :biggrin:.

Top example is same for lads anyways. Just shove an aubergine down your pants and they won't be thinking about your face.

They'll be thinking about why you have an aubergine down your pants. Good convo starter though...

Me too. Shame I couldn't understand that **** or we could've been sexist together.
I'm sick of being 200lbs of pure muscle and great at everything.

Lesson 1: Life is hard.
Lesson 2: The internet is not the accurate place to gain information of any kind.

So what?

You're ugly dude, so live with it. Happiness can come from acceptance.

If it means no birds, so be it. Life has pain. Life IS pain.

Dude, you haven't read a ****ing thing. Sure I don't read it well, I've got more important things, but at least I've skimmed through it. I got the bit saying he gets pussy. I didn't just read the ****ing title, guess his gender and make some emo comments.

Pale - Hey, don't diss being pale! Pale, milky skin is very much sort-after. I'm pale. Pale is beautiful!
Skinny - you'll fill out. For now, you're slim!
Big nose - Well, maybe its because I'm jewish but that makes you eligible...!

No definition to your face? Eh? You have bones, surely. You're not ugly. No one is ugly. You have something that is beautiful. Everyone does.

Why "emo" comments? I'm simply offering advice.

If he thinks he's ugly he probably is. If you're born ugly you take it; life isn't all sweet.

If everyone was beautiful, life would be boring.
