How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?

Knowing that over 95% of non-ugly but below-average looking gals can become an average Jane in looks without too much effort, as that’s the natural “center of gravity”, should give you peace of mind. Not to mention it may not be difficult for you to be Above average looking, if you wanted it enough. Like saying “Fvck it” and driving over to NY or Cali for said 6-month internship that’d be a great move, that feels like doing something too outside the norm — apply it to this. And you don’t even have to temporarily move instead of renewing your lease, FFS! :)

I doubt you’re actually Ugly. Ugly’s quite the strong word. I think it’s more like you’re “not good looking”. You could easily be a gal [as I see from your history] who has a low self esteem but just can’t get the cuter guys that your friends get, but at the end of the day, are kinda cute. You’re just self-critical and feel worse-looking due to your tastes in guys being as high as your cuter and/or more socially-fun gal-pals.

Another thing to bear in mind is that compared to Unattractive Guys — you have quite an advantage in the singles scene. It comes with something potentially quite negative, if you’re emotionally sensitive, though. What am I talking about? You’re able to whimsically fool-around with those better looking than you, for things purposely just-casual. As with any gal. So you still are able to indulge in this once in a while to sow an oat or two. Gals take it for granted, guys get too jealous of the concept. :) Downside though is, if you’re naive and/or emotionally sensitive, notably when young, you can get a distorted picture that you ‘deserve’ better looking guys and using that mistakenly as your “measuring stick” as to what you can/could date, when that’s not the case. So you need to be aware of this. And to be fair — it goes the same for objective nice looking gals, too — being able to fool around with a Great looking guy and him not wanting to actually Date. Not to mention the guy doesn’t have to be better looking than the gal [you] for that to be the case sometimes — so when not in the mood to get into a Relationship with anyone at the time, mine as well step into the better looking options, right? :)

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

So here we go, Sub-Par Looking Sally…. What are some upsides to it and how can you be OK with it?

But I’ll give you the “benefit of the doubt” — let’s assume you’re not “good looking”, but you’re not ugly, but you are below-average looking by guys’ tastes. OK.

One positive is at work in-person, if you do well and project yourself ideally in said workplace, you’ll be given full credit for it with nothing else getting in the way by others. Being even a step below an average Jane in looks, people aren’t inclined to make any assumptions that “because she’s a girl/woman”. There can be a bias that you must be “smarter” — as with guys who are notably non-attractive as well, who seem decent at their job. So this is something — not only are you more often to be put in the proper position that women want more of, but you’re going to evade the opposite of it.

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

One positive about being below average looking, which is also shared by most average Janes, and by no means outweighs one being notably Pretty — is that you’re not going have other gals being jealous of you out of nowhere. Outside of social arenas where every gal expects it, you’re not going to have old dudes looking you up and down. Stuff like that. Again, it’s better to be Pretty, but those who noticeably aren’t pretty at least don’t get any of those side-effects — if all this is even worth mentioning. I mean, are we really going to say “Oh, poor you Hot Veronica — having men compliment you all the time where it can get annoying. Whoah is you, as that part’s the ONLY result of you being Really pretty!” lol

First, almost everyone on Quora here is going to give you “cheer up” advice that does not paint an accurate picture, and is inflated too-positively with inaccurate statements. But it’s something to try and make you feel better as it makes them feel better to say it + we know if you’re down and out on your own looks, whether you’re unattractive or attractive, it’s only going to hurt your results in the singles/dating arena anyway. It’s the type of lies we’re supposed to say. So if you’re asking this question to get reassurance — which you will certainly get, which may be why you asked this question — well, you have no right to get upset if someone’s to actually answer your question doesn’t have that as their motive, right? :)

I say ‘easily’ but the motivation to do so may not be so easy. It’d be like saying “It’s easy to save some money this summer, so you can drive over across the country to take that 6 month job they’d like you for, that’s Great on your resume as it’s about the stuff that you do — and the lease on your apt is about to end anyway, with a place to stay to boot. Great timing!” It’s the motivation to save a few hundred bucks for the trip, and actually do this, which you naturally don’t want to do. But it IS easy as far as it being any “challenge”, outside motivation. There’s no puzzles here. There’s no crazy effort put into it. It’s just strongly against your comfort-zone, is all.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

In your case being 5′2″ — no, that’s not a negative in looks. Another reason why I doubt you’re close to ugly… as you’re jumping the gun on what even may count as unattractive - lol.

Many gals who don’t stand out as a pretty woman but is above average looking, can ‘easily’ slip into being average looking. Just the same, a gal like you who’s not ugly, but is [allegedly] below average looking, can ‘easily’ slip into being average looking.
