From hereon in I've just decided to proceed on the (somewhat plausible) assumption that I'm good-looking, because female opinion has run the gamut from "ugly as sin" to "absolutely gorgeous" and I've everything to gain by pandering to that 0.1%.


Yeah, I mean what have you got to lose? If you get rejected - it is expected, EVENTUALLY someone is going to fidn you attractive and will make a move. If that means approaching about 200 women, oh well, so be it.

Speaking as an intelligent person (at any rate, evidently more so than you are), I can attest that this is utter balls. Although far from being conventionally 'shallow', I nonetheless prefer my women curvaceous and well-proportioned; what's more, I have in the past felt a palpable physical revulsion towards women that are exceedingly overweight (i.e. beyond the optimal threshhold to the point of actual, effective disfigurement).

I wouldnt attempt to judge your intelligence based on a few lines of text however badly written but as to the points you made , what about the fact that beau:frown: ty deteriates with age , theres a good chance that a curvy woman that you have (with men sniffing around all the time) she wont maintain these looks. What is left after the looks have faded. A relationship only based on lust , as yours semm to be , has no future. It has to go deeper than this. Ok very overweight women arent nice to look at , I cant argue with that , but to use the word repulsive , I dont think I need to classify to other people your level of intelligence. Youve shown it for yourself!:frown:

Can you look me in the (e-)eye and say that you would honestly have a relationship with someone YOU considered (I agree, it doesn't matter what other people think) munter? It's a fact of life that men want mates they find attractive - procreation and all that! Good looks might not matter that much in terms of finding friends, but on the relationship-front it SO does.

Yes I could!
If a woman is not overweight then , if she was a nice person , then why not. Being overweight is a turn off for most men , it has to be said , but hey ,this something that can be treated anyway. The op hasnt mentioned being overweight , it must all be in her mind.What could be wrong with her , a big nose or ears sticking out , whatever , none os these things would put me off a woman for a relationship if she had a nice personality

Yes, but you're saying overweight women are unattractive - so you are going on looks. :rolleyes:

I don't understand why people are acting like looks aren't important...and that you don't need to make an effort. What complete bull****.
People want to be with somebody they are attracted to. A lot of people feel happier in being comfortable with their appearance too. Looks don't really matter, but technically they do. I find people are overall just nicer to me since i changed myself, not as many people are as nice to you if they don't think you look good at all.

Do what makes you happy, if being good looking makes you happy then become good looking, that means fitting into what the majority of society thinks is hot. That means getting your body into great shape, sorting your hair out, making sure your skin looks good, no spots, wear some makeup, buy clothes that make you look good and flatter your body, be stylish. It's a lot of effort and costs money...but that's what it takes to be considered good looking by the majority of people, if you don't want to do that...then don't complain if you don't like yourself.

I sympathise, i really do...but complaining won't do anything...so start acting. very very few people are genuinely ugly, you probably aren't one of these...which means you have potential to be good looking, no matter what anybody thinks. It doesn't matter what size you are or your hair colour or anything..you can make yourself look good. I'm not suggesting you should post your picture on here for everybody to see, but maybe if some people were to agree to help you in improving yourself you could show your pics to only them and they could give advice.

But really like i said in an earlier post, you shouldn't need compliments all the time, if you look in the mirror and you love what you see, that's all that really matters. People are most critical on themselves, if you like what you see in the mirror i will bet you that others like you too.

I also feel like i wasted my time as we haven't seen anything from the OP since the first post, i thought people who make these posts would be refreshing their browser every 2 mins to see new posts, i would be anyway.

I guess its a mixture of looks and personality in that case but personality is still more important. You do need physical attraction but then , there is always someone that finds somebody else attractive , hell , I know a bloke only looks at fat women. I went to this strip club once in America , there was a bloke literally drooling over this big black woman ,she must have been 25 stone , there is always hope.

so you do agree with me then that's looks play a part! Good. :p:

Hitler and Stalin were created by God as good beautiful people, They became evil through their own free choice.

Don't lose sleep over your appearance. People who judge you on that kind of thing aren't worth knowing anyway.

As far as relationships, attraction is not necessarily based on it. Confidence can easily make up for any perceived deficiencies in what you look like.

OP, I would seriously consider seeing a GP.
On a side-note I do feel girls in general suffer more from low self worth based solely on appearance than guys do.
There's a quote I read somewhere which I think applies strongly: "guys look at girls and girls watch themselves being looked at". Even when a girl is amazingly talented or whatever else they've been successful in in life, at the end of the day the one thing society seems to judge them on is whether or not they look good. You only need to look in Heat to see that.

What's all this "no future" nonsense? On a time-scale of sufficient length we're all dead anyway; so, I can either apply your logic and conclude that doing anything whatsoever is a waste of time, or I can resolve to maximise my utility by making optimal use of what little time I have. Furthermore; quite apart from the fact that everything deteriorates with age (intellect included), TSR at least is a case-in-point for the fact that notions of 'intelligence' and notions of 'beauty' needn't be mutually exclusive: the girls I've dated have typically been both highly intelligent and (by my reckoning) extremely attractive, thus yours is false dichotomy.

Attraction is instinctual and subjective, you asinine git: my having an I.Q. of 140 exerts no bearing on the fact that I find gross excesses of flab, cellulite and other disfiguring elements to be, in terms of attraction (which is the context of this thread), quite literally 'repulsive'. I can no more dispense with aesthetics as a factor than turn myself gay, or command my arousal by way of a convenient 'toggle' function.

As far as relationships, attraction is not necessarily based on it. Confidence can easily make up for any perceived deficiencies in what you look like.

but everyone judges everyone. it's human nature. on a friendship level it shouldnt matter but sometimes does. for me, i try not to let it matter but i cant help it... sometimes it alters our perceptions of who people are. humans are programmed to be this way. there is **** all you can do about it. people *will* judge you on your appearance.

you have to learn to like yourself first. it sounds cliche and stupid and maybe obvious... but it's hugely important. if you aren't ok to just exist and be a part of the world... well then you cease to be a part of this world. you get depressed and probably end up self harming. ive seen it a before first hand. (edit: oh just read all of the op and it seems it's already got here)

the op's need for compliments... to me this says she is insecure about her appearance. it's like.... you have to really *know* yourself to get over this. i dont know how but once you begin to fully grasp the way relationships work, and the way people work, and how people are pretty much all the same, all afraid of the same things... you start to make sense of the world... and then you can see where you fit in to this equation... and once you can see the world and the people in it for what they really are... i dunno you just start to feel like maybe it really doesnt matter wtf you look like or whatever other insecurities and paranoias you have... you just see them for what they are: paranoia and insecurity. and that somehow makes it better... for me at least. i dunno i am just rambling.

**** it :smile:

Hello All,

sorry it has taken me a bit long to respond. But I have read each and everyone one of your comments and they mean a lot to me, and I value everyones time for responding.
I will try to respond to what everyone says, and if I miss someone out , I do apologise , just let me know and I will go back to your comments and respond accordingly.

For those who said to post a picture up...No i wont, I cant .I just cant. It would be the most worst thing for me to do. I would not want to do it. Ever, even in a million years.
Those who dont know about my weight im 7.5 stones. I am a size 8. Got regular boobs and you can tell I have a bum.
For those who mentioned making an effort I do always I do. Constantly brushing my hair, checking myself in the mirror, putting lipgloss, and i do get comments, infact I get lots , my problem is if i dont get it for one day , i go mental and I start feeling miserable, and I get jelous when someone else gets a compliment other than me, I know its a really stupid thing to do and act like, but I want to stop this feeling but I have no idea how.
I dont know who to discuss this problem with as it clearly is a problem, and sometimes i get so upset I feel like hurting myself and I do, once I drank flash liquid the bathroom cleaner to kill myself thats how bad things are for me, I just wish I could stop this, for example yesterday I went to a party I didnt want to get my picture taken and everyone wanted to get my picture taken and I told them clearly i hate getting my pictures taken , but everyone continued to take pictures of me and then on the way back from the party I hid my face in a blanket and cried alot and my mascara was smudged, thats how terible I can get I started to pinch my arms wanting to get my blood out someway , thats how bad it is, also this guy wanted to get a picture of me whilst I was sleeping and one of my good friends told him no and to behave himself, I just felt so terrible and well he was a player type of guy so I never liked him, but nonetheless everyone was drunk apart from me and i felt maybe its my appearance thats put me off ,, and i dont drink and they were all wanting me to taste smoke and drinks and all that stuff i dont mind them having it but i didnt want it but I felt so left out :frown:
it just sucks when society automatically outcasts you when you just dont want to do what they want.
Im so all over the place. But thankyou all your advice is helping. :hugs:

You know, I'm ever so slightly annoyed with you now. You seem to have attention-seeking issues as opposed to aesthetic ones. I can pity the latter, not the former You know deep down you're fine, but just want people to go on about you all the times, it seems. Some of us literally never get compliments and we're still living.

It's painful how life traps us in bodies. Hold on in the hope that somewhere down the line you will get what you want. What more can we do than that ?
