Face fatness problem

Keep me as anon please, appreciate it thank you.

Im a male at uni.

Basically I used to be quite fat, leading to me having a chubby face. And my head is naturally bigger than other people.

Few years ago, when I grew taller, I sorta got slimmer, and now I'm going gym 3 times a week, weight lifting (no cardio), and I am making good progress. How since I am not doing cardo I still have a chubby face, and with a bigger head than most people it doesnt help.

So this leads me to have not much attention from girls. Actually pretty non existent. I mean I have a few girl mates, but nothing more. Like I know no one actually fancy me haha.

So anyone got a solution to my problem, I know I'm being an idiot atm, and I shouldn't be like this but I just can't help it when everyone else is getting attention at uni, pulling at clubs and generally good looking :s-smilie:

You seem pretty honest, I cant lie and say "your face is not chubby or big"... I dont know what to recommend... some people have chubby faces... A Hair Dresser might be able to make your face look smaller? A wild stab in the dark but I reacon a good hair dresser might be able to cut it into a style that makes it look smaller... I dont know :P

I don't really know how to ask the hairdress, and I have really thick hair, so they just stick up all the time, unless they are really really long.

Say it how it is... "I think ive got a big face, would it be possible to make it look smaller than it is...."

And most hair can be made to behave, if the person knows what there doing. Go to an expensive Salon for a consultation. You dont even have to get it cut, just discuss it with one of there best stylists

I can't offer any help, but I'm just the same. Seems no matter hw much weight I lose my head kinda floats there in all its chubby glory!

Anyhow, it's not necessarily a bad thing - different strokes for different folks etc and I've generally found it's confidence which gets me attention in bars. I really don't think looks come into it as much as we're lead to believe.

The lead singer of Keane has a cute little chubby face!

yeah, I am afraid it is more confidence that you need and then it really wont matter about the size/shape/colour of anything - face, nose, ears, eyes, etc.

It sounds like you have got the weight licked, but your mind wont let go of the image of yourself you had when you were overweight. Many people have self-image issues, and generally more confidence will sort it out. It will also sort out the pulling problems too.

Well that can happen for a number of reasons, do you by any chance drink ? Well one of the ways to get rid of it as also stated above is to do more cardio, so incorporate that into your fitness plan and watch your diet, like eat healthy and drink plenty of fluid, you will see the changes for yourself sooner enough if you stick to it. Good luck.

dont worry about it. just keep on keeping on. work out, and try to speak up in the bar. its better to try and fail than to fail to try. trust me those guys that you always see pulling dont enjoy it as much as u think. they dont pull as much as you think. your okay, some people are slow starter but they burn up and finish first. get your finger out your ass.
