The fat on your body, the look of your nose, the rash on your hand is not inherently unattractive to anyone. Even with strangers. If you have the fire, people see it. When you see confident people, it’s like the world is created anew in their presence. What “normally” would be considered “ugly” or at best “quirky” is beautiful and perfect. It doesn’t even make sense to think otherwise. I’ve known people who run the gamut of looks, and it didn’t matter if the were considered classically attractive or not. When something bothers you about yourself, it bothers others. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I’ve seen so much evidence of this, it’s staggering. I grew up with these two girls who are tall, skinny and cute and yet totally uncute. They both think so many things about their looks or clothes are why they have such trouble with meeting any “cool” men when really it’s the fact that they are so preoccupied with their fucking lip gloss that they miss the point entirely and come across to me, and men, as very unattractive. If I have to wait another fucking hour for the hair to be pulled up and then let down and brushed, so that we go to a bar with a “all these people suck and I’m not dancing with anyone” attitude, I swear I’ll fucking strangle someone. I usually end up saying something like, “Alright, if you want to sit here, fine, but I’m going to go dance with that black guy in the guayabera because he is working it on the dance floor.” It is so unfun, I wouldn’t sick a convict on them because I would feel bad for HIM.

And you know, when they forget that they supposed to hate their ass and clothes and car, they are really fun to be around.

I’m out.

I don't even have a soap box, I'm allergic to soap (leper)

My best guy friend should have given up on girls when he was born, by societal logic. Overweight, off and on acne, big ass nose, eyebrows that could choke a cow, and a small penis (no, really it's damn small). Even in high school (when his acne was really bad and he was 200 lbs overweight), he always had these gorgeous, talented girls just pining over him. I'm not exaggerating whatsoever. He's 27, and it's still the case. Why?

I know why; you tell me.

And I understand how you've come to your very valid (in light of your experiences) conclusion, but I also see it from his point of view as well.
