Am I getting uglier as I age?

[Anonymous]

I'm 24 and people don't call me handsome anymore. Girls don't look at me anymore the way they did and I get no attention. I used to be the shy guy who was always approached by them, but now I'm outgoing and girls reject me. All the attention I get is from overweight girls. I don't mind if they are chubby, but not more than that, because I work out very much and I'm very fit. Girls (particularly older girls at work) don't notice me unless I put myself out there, and I'm trying not to be obnoxious. However, people respect me at work and in my master's programme because I'm skilled for my age and hardworking.

Dude, don't stress so much about looks fading - that's life. What's way more important is who you are inside. A few thoughts:

- 24 is still young bro! People your age just getting comfortable in their skin. You are too.

- Confidence comes from loving yourself, not chasing hollow attention. Keep doing you - work out for YOU, not validation.

- Yes skills and drive will earn respect long term. Focus there instead of what shallow girls notice at parties.

- Not everyone wants a "fit" dude. Real connection happens when you see the soul in someone, not just appearance.

- Be grateful for all the good in your life regardless what's on the outside. Inner peace is the hottest thing, trust.

Chin up man! I'm sure you still look great - we're always our own harshest critic. Just keep improving yourself for your sake, the right vibes will come. You got this!

If you do your own self-care, if you don't get too sad, you won't get ugly

What do you mean by self care?

Pay attention to your sleep schedule, exercise, wash your face, take a shower

I should sleep more. I do exercise. I don't wash my face unfortunately. Yes, I take showers.

Men are obviously most physically appealing in early 20

I used to be the cute, handsome, baby-faced teenager. Now I look more masculine, but uglier.

Age makes men rough and ugly. Do u have beard?

[Asker]

Yes. Goatee

Ohhh goatee? Not full face? Height and weight?

I can't grow a thick beard on the sides, it's patchy, so I shave it. Height 5.10 and weight 155 lbs
