Can you tell if someone is unattractive even with their "COVID" mask?

[Anonymous]

I've always been treated terribly because of my wack appearance but with COVID I'd assume I'd see some improvement in the way others treat me

Turns out it's bullshit

I still get treated terribly even though half of my face is covered & unsurprisingly many females feel uncomfortable/disgusted/bitchy around me even though half of my face is covered

[Levin]

Two things to say.

Treatment is likely bad across the board. Given in my view the mask has been imposed for psychological and political reasons. Long story short, it makes one feel anonymous and isolated, and hinders social contact. I've seen women while I'm out and otherwise I'd at least flirt with them or exchange glances. With them on, I don't even bother. Even verbal communication is ruined and pointless.

Second is your energy is important. You have to be aware of where you energy is throughout the day. If you're in a kind of needy, resentful or bitter kind of energy, it's hard to attract people in general. Please don't think everything is about your physical shell.

[hahahmm]

The vast majority of women can be attracted to a guy just based on his personality. Or a guy could look 'hot' but have a very hard time with women because they don't like his personality/approach.

So to answer your question, yeah people can sense your personality even when you wear a mask. It's about how you act.

I always thought women look good/better if they wore glasses/hats. I guess a face mask should help too but then, they have to take that mask off sometime. If I was single I don't think I would seriously pursue some woman without seeing her whole face.

I’m not sure. I don’t have to wear a mask anymore where I live but I do because I am 29 years old with braces and I get the same feel as I do when I wear glasses or a hat. People stare with or without my mask.. could just be because I’m tall and have big curly hair. I personally can’t tell if someone is attractive under their mask.

[Espresso-Grande]

Not always. It works both ways.
Because the car salesman who sold me my my new car had a mask on - he looked like he'd be very attractive under his mask. . When I saw him without his mask, he didn't look as attractive as I thought he'd be

[Vikkrram]

I don't know man... i am safe coz if i remove my mask then the girls around me can get afarid coz of my ugly looks... Hope they don't screams 😅 I have never been confident in front of girls.. but my friends are coz they really are good looking... I must admit that...

[MCheetah]

Yes. Their skin, and their eyes. The same way most people can recognize others' even with a mask on. I think the human brain is good at "filling in the missing blanks," cause I can tell what all my students look like, even though I've never seen their mouths before. And even with a mask on, my students still (rightfully) assume I look like Shrek but with brown skin, when they draw doodles of me on the board.

[Flotri66]

I don't know, I could say that I'm slightly above average in the looks department (I'd catch a woman checking me out when I'm out in public like once a week).

When covid hit and everyone was wearing masks I noticed an uptick in checkouts. My thought was "maybe my face isn't that good?"

[JDavid25]

I always feel like for the most part I could sort of tell what a person looks like under the mask.. There were people who surprised me though.. Maybe you don't give off the friendly type of feeling that people would treat you better..

[Anon621]

I personally don't care how someone looks. If anything, it makes me laugh when I saw people with masks half down or people that wore the masks meant for keeping dust out those look ridiculous lol.

[petrifythepatriarchy]

Maybe your eyes look tired or you have dark circles? Stupid question, but I've always had hereditary dark circles and find that the mask accentuates that even more
So I make sure not to skip concealer

[ZackBan]

It's definitely a catfishing tool. I meet many girls who have nice hair and cute eyes but when they remove the mask you start to see the horrors. Definitely don't make up my mind on who's cute before the mask comes off

[blank_expression]

If someone is wearing a Covid mask, I already know they are f-ed in the head and that is ugly enough for me to pass.

[Asker]

In my vicinity you have to wear them

Since I live in a city where gangs are the majority

a lot of the security guards in supermarkets, electronic stores,& a few restaurants that I've been to are employed by active gang members who aren't anything but little

a lot of these kids are barely shy of 19 but are at least 6'5 295lb

They want those "stripes" (reputation) & if someone disrespects them by not wearing their masks they'll retaliate

I've seen it personally

[Kas19]

Do you work in customer service or anything? That's just people man. People are cunts.

[Tiptoetamm]

Yes they are. Everyone is attractive to someone

[tatianamay]

I look good with a mask on, and without it I look only somewhat average lmao. I look like a whole different person

[Unbeatable]

Ur still growing. Remember to eat right it makes a difference

[tatianamay]

Lol yeah, but my age is wrong here. I’m not 14, I’m 16 and I’m not able to change it back

[Unbeatable]

Oh cool you're 16 you have five more years of facial growth

[tatianamay]

Yep! Lol

[Tiptoetamm]

I think so at least you can see they have nice eyes

[Tiptoetamm]

I totally worded this wrong. I don't think anyone is unattractive just because I'm not attracted to them doesn't mean someone won't be. There is someone out there for everyone. Looks are one of the last things I look for in a man. First of all how a woman is treated is most important, morals, if they have drive to do better, how they present themselves to me looks are a bonus. People can be so shallow

[Honesttguy]

Well your assumption that is only your appearance turns out to be wrong. It must be your behaviour that puts people off.

[MLGbreezy]

Sometimes but those mask's can really fool you cause someone can look good from the mask up and then they take it off and it's like a whole new person

[D_Bone_Steak]

WTF is it then... are you fat? I get smiles and giggles still and I have tyroneasous teeth.

[ToastyOats]

The real pandemic weve always faced ugly people. Finally we as a society have the balls to just tell them to cover up.

[Mamaganja]

Lmao

[Unbeatable]

Shit is funny lol

[K-I-S-S]

I have been approached multiple times now with the mask on. So it helps with something, either my ugliness or my resting bitch face.

[Goatmeal]

Are you actually ugly or is saying so just a defense mechanism to avoid the pain of rejection?

[Asker]

I didn't notice it at first but after hanging out with a few relatives of mine I've noticed a very similar pattern

Almost every female gets very uncomfortable, twitchy, nervous just from being close to me

The other half treat with me contempt & a few provoke me with petty insults out of nowhere

Ithere cool with everybody else except me

[Goatmeal]

Are you yourself comfortable around women?

[Asker]

I do my own thing & mind my own but for whatever reasons a lot of females get VERY defensive & uncomfortable QUICK

[Goatmeal]

Is there a chance you could be looking for this reaction and therefore noticing it more or even interpreting a neutral reaction as negative? Like confirmation bias/we notice what we look for?

I read some advice online about expecting people to like you which would make you more relaxed when meeting them and actually result in them liking you more.

[Asker]

No

When I'm about my business out in the world I go "in & out"

I don't get side tracked with petty interactions like "Window Shopping" or just getting lazy & just "slothing" to my errands

I go in quick & TRY to leave as fast as possible but with COVID & the time of days I run my errands... I have run into many of my "enemies"

It's a bit hilarious to me because when I moved to a relatives neighborhood that WAS known as a "quiet & peaceful" "little neighborhood" it was ANYTHING but that

My presence alone caused a lot of gossip & petty disrespect from a lot of the neighbors... mostly females

When I ran into them they got into their usual "uncomfortable & scared" persona

[Unbeatable]

People can be like that. For some reason your sexual market place value is important to how you get treated even by family

[Asker]

@Unbeatable

But I'm very curious as to why THEY (the particular females) come to me with their petty disrespect

The "WHY"

[Silas_153]

Maybe people treat you that way based upon something other than your physical appearance.

[OddBeMe]

Perhaps, since attraction is like communication: it’s mostly in tone and the confidence of the person.

[Ms_Vanderquack]

Yeah dude, it’s your personality, not your face.

[jimmy2]

I can't believe it but take the mask off some can be a deal breaker or at least turn off the lights

[Tanner67]

Man girls used to stare at me but because of this stupid mask nobody looks at me.

[lsksni]

I definitely look ugly. So, yeah.

[NightHawk99]

You givin off bad vibes?

[Iron_Man]

I’m not sure

[michael1469]

Yes i can
