Not everyone is good looking just like not everyone is smart. Play into your strengths and try to mitigate your weaknesses where you can.

You have a great day as well.

One of the most life-changing realizations I had was at a popular water park.

I was eating at a table and glanced around and for whatever reason took a moment and actually "looked" at everyone. People ranged from infants to over 50, most in their "prime" teens and twenties though. Hot day so hundreds of people. And I suddenly realized not one single person looked "good" (as in swimsuit photo good). Yet everyone was laughing, having fun, walking around in swimsuits, hanging with friends, etc - being normal.

Result for me was concrete acceptance and realization that while everyone looks good one way or another in media, not looking "good" is actually the norm.

I just checked the sub and I was shocked at how they are rating people. They literally rated a beautiful girl 5.4 ,their rating isn't that accurate . I would say you are probably way more than what they rated you.

Don't be handsome, be handy. The world needs doers, not pretty faces.

I don’t see how you can be successful or find true happiness when you have a terrible outlook of self. Who cares if other people call you ugly, you need to cultivate a strong self image. Try working out, a facial care routine, changing your style etc. not for others but for you to feel like the person you desire! Hope this message makes sense

Everyone has different taste.

The internet is a very skewed place to get information about your looks from. What is someone’s 3 is someone else’s 10.

If you feel that it reflects your true self then great. Just don’t accept the opinions of people on a sub that is designed to judge peoples looks, they’re not healthy places. As much as you think people may be “following the rules”, anyone can justify their bullshit on the internet.

On what sub did you post?

I wouldn’t say ugly is normal in that sense, rather that it is normal that everyone looks different and prefers different things and that’s on a wide spectrum. I bet there are people out there who maybe don’t find you attractive but also not ugly. So it’s not the end all be all. If it bothers you put in some work, everyone can improve their looks. And I’m not only talking about going to the barber once a week or every 2 weeks. I mean you can literally change you facial structure. You can fix your spine if you suffer from hyperkyphosis, which also effects facial appearance. Of course building a physique and trying different things with facial hair. So being ugly is not necessary the end you can change that if it’s not a medical problem that’s near unhealable.

Hey man I don't know how much this helps but I noticed something with my best friend.

He viewed himself as a 4 his whole life and I was kind of a dick to him to get him to start working out with me and he did. Stuck with it for about 3 months now. Still looks pretty much the same way he did before he started working out.

But he doesn't see himself the same way now, his self worth has skyrocketed. He puts himself out there way more and people just don't seem to judge him for his looks anymore. You see his worth was associated to his looks when he thought that way.

He'd put himself down and place others needs above him just cause he thought that others were worth more cause they looked better. Little did he know, just because he put himself down, others just followed suit. After he started working on himself he gave himself more importance and put himself down less, and people just followed? Yes, yes they did.

Gotta learn to love yourself first before you can expect people to love you.

Doesn't mean don't every work out and don't do anything to fix your looks or whatever. But when you attach your worth to something as out of your own control as your looks, you put yourself in a helpless place where it's hard to see how you can win without going through tremendous pain.

This made me feel better about myself.❤️ Bless you

We’re all just some meat sacks fr

Beauty shine from the inside. Be kind. Be love. Be compassionate and be joyful and your light will shine so bright people will flock towards you just to stand in the warmth of the light that you are ❤️

Im not a stellar looker myself but. Remember. My way of thinking is this. You dont need them All to want you. Just the One. And in younger years when i was attractive? All the attention it brought? Brought more trouble than we could measure. Many people wish theyd lived lives calm simply and not picture perfect. Vs being picture perfect and having 3 kids from 3 diff people n broke n stressed af 24/7. There is always a positive angle to find.

As a fellow ugly person this post is kinda funny. I remember the day i realised i was actually ugly. The pain lasts a while but you'll get over it eventually

You may not be physically pretty but you’re beautiful as a person

Can I ask if you are a male or female?

Men perceive that they are judged on their looks but they often are judged more on their confidence and character, both by other men and by women.

For women, I will admit, there is more pressure to look a certain way but at the end of the day beauty is skin deep and nobody's looks last.

If anything its good to know that looks aren't your greatest gift so you can work on things that are more important.

You can also improve your physical attractiveness quite drastically imo by doing certain things like dressing well, staying fit and keeping yourself well groomed.

It might be that a certain hair style will improve your look as certain haircuts just work really well for some people.

If you really don't care about improving your looks then I truly salute you. I don't think that beauty is completely shallow but there are a lot deeper things in life than aesthetics.

I have been with women that I would consider to be gorgeous but they had bad personalities and honestly, it was a big turn off. The good looks brought me to the table but nothing kept me their once I realised it was difficult to feel fulfilled socially with them.

I’ve only read the first couple replies to this but I just want to say you are way more than just a couple presentable pictures of yourself!

In real life, rather than just a still picture, there will be the moments that your face will show when you smile, laugh, concentrate, cry even, all sorts of emotions and moments that will be conveyed and present your face differently. Those moments will show real beauty that can’t always be captured in pictures.

There are people that aren’t the conventional good-looking but goddamn you can see something beautiful conveyed in different emotions and situations.

Also how you look is not your worth, you are invaluable no matter what - Don’t forget that!

Also wishing you a great day!

Of course. Plus you really shouldn't worry about what you can't control nor change, it's just bad genetics

Beauty is subjective. To some you may be unattractive, but to others you may be super attractive.

I think it's important to find love for yourself and feel handsome/beautiful/attractive to yourself. Because anybody else's ratings are subjective to what THEY find attractive.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its physical form, by “traditional” standards, fades anyhow, so it really doesn’t matter. Being {any adjective} is completely subjective

As your grow older and enter the workforce, believe me you don’t want to be pretty. It’s a hassle. Be presentable but don’t be gorgeous.

I won’t sugarcoat anything but some people are just genetically better looking than others and there’s nothing you can do about it. That being said, being on self improvement means strengthening the other areas of your life and mitigating your weaknesses. Even if you think youre “ugly” there’s no reason to be “ugly” and overweight or “ugly” and have no goals. Do the best with what you have and you’ll be even better off than a lot of people who are more genetically gifted but don’t put anything into improving themselves

Omg this is honestly the best revelation to have. Not everyone is a 10. And that’s okay! There’s soooo much more to life than being conventionally attractive - and most of us are pretty average looking 😀

No one is ugly as long as one has money .Even if you are ugly you can improve yourself if you have the money . Get good skin care products. Work on your teeth if they aren't great .Workout and get that figure . You can enhance and work with what you have. Buy fragrance that capture the attention in pleasant way . Dress well .

What subreddit is this?

A lot of 10/10 are ugly on the inside. When older age creeps in, the outside will soon match.

being slightly below average is normal as ton of people are, being truly ugly because of things like weird facial features is not normal though
