Alright so I've seen a lot of people and I know that no matter HOW ugly someone is there is always someone out there that is WORSE OR there is always someone out there who is attracted to that particular sort of look. OR there is always someone out there that can get past the looks and "love the person beneath". So deal with what god or allah or whoever gave you and suck it up and get on with life! If you wanna get sad and angry with anyone blame your parents LOL its their genes! heehee just joking people...... have a good one! People can be SO intense on these forums....

I agree with that statment and it thats how we all should see ourselves,, if they don't like us for something silly, forget them, they don't know what the want in the first place.

I've seen lots of really attractive women with butt ugly guys over the years. I think when it boils down to it women aren't as hung up on looks as us guys. And some of those guys had sh1tty personalities as well.

What you consider to be ugly might be fantastically cute to another person and viceversa...
There are certain things that you have in your personality that make you very attractive, even if you are aesthetically challenged....

I sure hope this is true. Though if someone is seen as good looking that gives them a better chance for the other to want to take the time to get to know them.

From personal experience since I am an ugly man. To be happy I tend to work out a lot, cook, write poetry, run, do any sports, hang out with people whenever I can, play poker, study, read, shower, and basically do whatever the mood strikes for me to do.

Being ugly has the benefits of being single. You can dive deeper into yourself and understand yourself and others quite well. I find that I end up being some sort of counselor to most people whether it's informtaiton on computers to advice on relationships. Some how trying to acquire knowledge in all my spare time I've picked up the knack about relationships even though I've never been in one. It's an oddity but I guess I can be a fairly objective person.

Once again being ugly such as me I find just do what you want to but of course this is my belief for ugly, average, and good looking men and women.

I dunno, I see ugly guys that are married and have g/f's. It does happen.

I think some of you might just need to work on your pics. You may just have unflattering pics. How you handle yourself has a bit to do with it as well. Don't slouch. Smile. Don't "act ugly".

He's just got to realize that he might just have to date ugly women.Theres somebody out there for everyone.You just have to accept your appearance and be realistic on who you will attract and the type of person you should pursue.Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

maybe you just need a makeover? get some hair and fashion types from a professional being a good dresser can make a huge difference :) be a candidate on one of those home makeover shows :) why not join a gym get really fit and cut workout eat well take care of your body..hire a personal trainer if you have to

There is always something you can do to make yourself better looking as long as you're not grotesque or have weird scars or burns all over your body I'm sure there is something you can do..

This post is kind of old, but it seems like a good topic to respond to.

1) Since I am also hetrosexual 1000%, I not the best when it comes to judging guys looks, including my own.
2) Since you didn't post a pic, your never going to get a fair rating from objective sources.

3) What i have learned in my life is there are very few people in the world who are considered totally, naturally beautiful or "10's". Now on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, there are roughly the same small number of people who truly ugly or "1's".

The vast majority of us fall somewhere in the middle. Depending on how well groomed we are, how hair is kept, in the case of female how much make up she wears, along with her hair style where as most guys are attracted to girls with longer hair.

4) Of course a persons weight plays a huge factor in this as well. There are some who due to excessive weight who in their present condition be close to the "1" catagory, but such as in my case, if they really commit to it, can lose the weight. In my case spending several years weighing in at 250lbs, and may not of been a "1", but a "2", "3" tops; however after losing over 100lbs, and 10 full inches off my waist, I looked and became a totally different person. So that "2" or "3", became a "7" or "8", and coming from a family of naturally attractive people, their was no question just by losing wieght, changing my hair style, would attract a lot more women.

Finally, if you are truly ugly as you say are, but more likely you are suffering from lack of self-esteem, you have to be really unlucky. Being that said, there are people I am sure would go out with you. You might not get the best looking, but in my case I dont even look at the women who might be considered as 10's, I have been out with a few, and found little attraction on my part. I am mostly attracted to the average "girl next door" type, or someone on the right side of the "5".

Good luck to you.

I am glad they have this website because now I know the women I will not contact. You people should be careful what you post because it ruins your wonderful profiles when people check out yours .

If there is a guy that is considered to be unattractive and he is straight (that is, heterosexual) but women never give him the time of day, what would be the best thing for him to do to enjoy his life since he might have to settle for being alone?


First off, you need to stop talking to yourself like that. You will never build the kind of confidence and self-esteem necessary to find a suitable S/O if you continue to beat yourself up like that.

There ARE things you can do about your appearance. We all can. For example:

1. If you are overweight, dedicate yourself to losing weight. Eat better, eat less, work out often and stay active.
2. If you have bad teeth, keep them clean and when you can afford it, get braces or dental work.
3. Shower often.
4. Buy new clothes, keep them clean and wear decent shoes.
5. Get a haircut or a new hairstyle.
6. Men if you have facial hair, keep it neat and trimmed often.

As for the mental part, this is harder but not impossible:

1. Write the following down on paper and post it on your bathroom mirror so you read it every morning: "I am confident, I am secure, I am happy and I am worth it." Sounds funny just reading that, but it helps a lot of give yourself some CBT every morning. You need to keep that on your mind throughout the day until you believe it.
2. Never tell yourself no one will love you. That is a self-defeatist attitude that will only serve to beat you down continually. You have to stop that train of thought before your mindset can change.
3. Learn to find acceptance within. If you can not make yourself happy, if you don't love yourself than you will not be able to love someone else or make them happy. It's like riding a bicycle. If you can't ride one then how can you expect to teach someone else? "To thy own self be true" and "A man who loves himself will have no rivials" are two sayings I keep in my head often. They remind me that constantly think about my self-worth and self-esteem.
4. Changing your mindset is a LIFE LONG PROCESS. It's not something you do once and then forget about it. When you first start it's a constant process but as you build yourself up over time you won't have to think about it all the time, but you will still have to remind yourself occasionally not to fall into old patterns.

My point is that you have COMPLETE CONTROL over your life and your happiness. The question is how long are you going to wait before you decide to do something about it?

Best of luck.

Yeah but what is ugly anyway? I mean I was told right throughout High School that I was ugly. In fact if i had a dollar for everytime i had somebody say to me "That if their dog had a face like mine they'd shave it's bum and make it walk backwards" I'd be a rich man. But in more recent time I've been told that I'm quite handsome. So I guess it's open to interpritation

I am a firm believer that beauty comes from within!
I have meet several men that from the outside looked very handsome....then they opened their mouth and became the most ugly men I have seen.
You have to love yourself before someone else can love you. If you feel that you are unattractive then you are. If one places more importance on outer looks isn't that considered vain? Are you vain? Do you judge a woman by her looks?
If your not given the time of day by women maybe it is where you are looking for the time that you need to think about. Or the approach that you give a woman.
Settle for being alone? Do you want to be a hermit? Do you want to give up because you haven't cross the path of the right person yet?
I reccomend self help books to work on loving yourself first!

ok, I think I've found a loophole that would allow ugly men to pick up women, but it sometimes involves getting a bit uglier.
You'll have to become a biker.
go buy some black leather and a motorcycle, and a brain-bucket helmet with a big chrome spike on top, then grow out your facial hair so nobody can see your face.
you'll get women
I guarantee it.
a couple years ago I got myself a motorcycle to save on gas (yup, a $500 beater) and honestly couldn't believe the added attention from women I was getting. unfortunately, it was of no use to me because I was "taken" at the time by a girl who didn't approve of me riding the thing, but this doesn't seem to be a problem in your case.
Now, you'll have to understand that you'll be getting almost exclusively biker women.
This isn't a bad thing. I've found bikers to be much better people than the general populous...friendly, generous, and usually not shallow, which seems like what you're looking for, if the tattoos don't bother you.
There's the added benefit that a lot of people are still scared of the biker image, so it goes a long way toward your personal safety in dark alleys.
let us know if it works for you

this is my brilliant *haha* idea, ya ready?

to so-called 'ugly' men:

if you meet a woman whom you consider beautiful, first ask yourself what is it about her I find attractive? is it her
-looks
-charm
-intelligence
-humour
-compassion
-world view
-endearing quirks
... etc?

if it's (and be honest) her appearance and charm that captivates you and brings you up short because you automatically dismiss yourself from the running, thereby leaving you despondent and generally resentful, then the problem is not your packaging, it's your attitude.

work on that first, or you'll never BELIEVE any woman would want you .. and, surprise, what a self-fulfilling prophecy!

;-)
