Do you think most ugly people only exist because they don’t care about themselves?

I think so, because I used to not look so good when I was younger. I was overweight, and girls would look past me. I now workout every single day, and I buy clothes that I think look good on me. I always trim unwanted hairs. And I shave my face every morning because I think facial hair makes me look fatter in the face. I used to have a skincare routine for my face, but I stopped using it because I think my skin is almost perfect for what it is now. But I put on sunscreen and lotion to prevent wrinkles. And I take minimum at least one shower a day, because showers make you look better. I’m old school, so I think back in the day, men used to put more effort into their looks. So I always style my hair too, and use only good products.

Honestly? Kinda, yeah. I think a lot of what people find physically unattractive is actually just a function of lifestyle choices. Changing your haircut, skin care routine, fashion style, and exercise habits may not turn you into a model, but they really do elevate a person in ways I think we don't always recognize.

Now I don't believe that people should have to put tons of effort into their appearance (make-up/uncomfortable "fashionable" clothing, etc shouldn't be an expectation) but there's so much you can do with minimal effort that makes a big difference. It's almost hard to understand why people don't do it if they're actively unhappy with their appearances.

It seems odd to me to complain if you aren't even doing the bare minimum of the people you're trying to compare yourself against. (But also, it's like a huge self confidence boost to put work into yourself and your appearance so I actually recommend it for everyone regardless.)

Actually yes. Not 100% of people but if you work on yourself I think most people whomconsider themselves unatractive can change that view for others and in tirn for themselves.

Life is very weird in the way we change as me mature or age. As a very young guy, (HS) I never considered and WAS not nice looking, but somehow had a few girlfriends. As we mature, we find ways to 'modify' how we appear, (hair, complexion etc) and we can make some changes that make us more attractive. I think any person can do things to improve their physical appearance but maybe they are so 'cowed' by the way people relate to them, they don't do anything, even if they had the where-with-all ($$$$) to try

I never liked the 'family features" on my dad's side and as I got the $$$$ and maturity at 29, I had plastic surgery, to try to modify' what I did not like, and certainly was more pleased with my appearance, and I did find myself getting more attention from women.

Not sure if I satisfactorily answered your question?

Define Ugly: some people just lost out on the looks department. Kinda sad but it happens. If ugly is overweight, slovenly, and poorly dressed then that’s a a choice.

At least 51%... some people... lost the genetics lottery... but they are a very small minority.

But no matter how some of us take care of ourselves, we're still ugly.

[Akam93]

Yeah they don't care. They don't care about anything but food.

[CrimsonAngel09]

So skinny unattractive people care about food?

Okay then.

[LazerBean]

Yeah.
