Can a guy still be attractive with a double chin?

[Anonymous]

My weight is fine. I'm probably under what I should be for my age, because I'm not all that built, but I have a few extra pounds of fat, but still look thin. Average build. But I have a double chin, my lower jaw doesn't come out as far as most people's so it doesn't look as defined and makes it look worse than it should I think.

Is it something I should worry about? I think it's just normal for me to have one. It could probably be minimized with exercise, but not be gotten rid of completely. Not sure.

I'm a 37 year old guy in Los Angeles. Spoiler Alert: I'm worth $5million. I am not flashy about it. I drive a 12 year old car.

In fact, the only girl who knows about that money is my ex-wife, and she has kept it secret.

I'm tall enough, at 6'1", and in decent shape (175 lbs). I am not overly toned. I list myself as "fit" on OkCupid but I'm closer to average. I have.. I mean, *had* a slight double chin.

How did I get rid of it? Exercise? Yeah, I walked my ass into the doctor's office and got liposuction. I paid $2,000.

It's really not a lot of money for a quality of life that makes you look 15 years younger, so if it bothers you, fix it. Finance it if you have to. You'll spend a week or two recovering.

By the way I *still* don't tell the women I have money, but I have 25 year olds hanging onto me when I go out now, because I look more fit.

So figure out your pain threshold, invest the money in a good surgeon, and change your diet/exercise to stay in shape. $2,000 is what you'd spend on a new laptop, and this is more important.

Wow what do you do if you don't mind me asking?

1. Can a guy still be attractive with a double chin? To some girls. Not to this girl

2. Is it something I should worry about? Medically only if a doctor says. Vanity yes if you're in America though as a guy you get more leeway with your appearance.

How about to any attractive women? I think it would be pretty stupid if girls wouldn't accept me over something like this, when it's partially genetic.

[udolipixie]

Egh some attractive women depending on your status, wealth, and personality aka charm/interesting/exciting/dangerous/edgy.

Beauty is genetic as well.

So are you being pretty stupid when your focus is on getting attractive women to overlook your looks as you want them for their looks when you wouldn't do the same?

[Asker]

Well the only reason I really said that is because I feel it's the main thing that detracts from my looks overall. Otherwise I'm not bad at all. I can deal with an attractive woman with a bit of a double chin.

[udolipixie]

I thought you stated you were average build and your jaw wasn't defined so the double chin looks worse.

Wouldn't an average build woman with a double chin that looks worse than it is be the same?



Rather than attractive face/body woman with a bit of a double chin who is expected to overlook your average build and worse than it is double chin.

Not being bad at all isn't the same as having an attractive face/body aka celebrity worth facial features with a built body.

[Asker]

Well I'm sorry that your expectations are that high...

[udolipixie]

More like your expectations are that high.

I haven't stated my expectations so that's just your assumptions.

You're average looking with an average build and a worse than it is double chin but you want an attractive woman with a bit of a double chin.

Why not have equal expectations an average looking girl with an average build and a worse than it is double chin.

[Asker]

Lol I never said that I wanted an attractive woman with a double chin. way to mold my words into how you want to hear them. anyways why not look for someone you're attracted to? I just hope someone like that could feel the same about me. I feel average, even though many other people have found me at least handsome. I have issues with how I see myself I think.

[udolipixie]

You asked about an attractive woman. Then expanded with "I can deal with an attractive woman with a bit of a double chin."

There's no twisting your words.

When I asked you about an equal- average looking with average build and a worse than it is double chin you deflected got assumptive about my expectations.

If average was okay with you then you wouldn't have deflected on answering the question and turned it on me with oh your expectations are too high.

[udolipixie]

If you truly felt "anyways why not look for someone you're attracted to" then you wouldn't have put "I think it would be pretty stupid if girls wouldn't accept me over something like this, when it's partially genetic."

More likely you want to have an attractive partner but don't want to be judged negatively for your looks.

Hence why assumptive deflective when I put why not go for your equal rather than more attractive with a bit of a double chin. As well as ignoring beauty is genetic too.

[udolipixie]

Girls are going to reject or accept you based on your looks just like you're going to do to them.

The double chin is partially genetic bs doesn't fly as looks are genetic. Plus people are free to discriminate on whatever they want for romantic/sexual partners.

Just as you feel you an average guy with a worse looking chin can deal with an attractive woman with a bit of a chin some attractive girls may not want to deal with a less attractive guy with a worse than it looks double chin.

He could be average, maybe even cute at the most after getting to know him, but I doubt he'd be someone I looked at and thought was hot.

[Asker]

and that's a bad thing right? :/

[Sayaka1202]

It seems pretty normal to me, so of course you can still be attractive. ^^
