      Sorta disagree. Honesty and respect really mean a lot to people most just can’t figure out how to express it

    There’s a Reddit community I used to visit now and then that was for ugly people. It was so toxic and hateful. These people literally believe that they can never be happy or have a relationship because they think they’re ugly - it’s their entire identity. I worry that many outcasts fall into this trap during their formative years and it warps their view of the world like the gentleman in the video.

    I think that once they get out into the real world, most folks find that looks don’t matter as much as lifestyle, personality, and compatible morals.

      I didn’t think I was ugly because I thought I was ugly. I thought I was ugly because no one wanted anything to do with me for reasons I couldn’t comprehend.

      I also noticed how “pretty” people didn’t have anywhere near as hard of a time socializing as I did. They were allowed to have bad personalities. Even if I was as kind and helpful as I could possibly be I’d never be treated the same way as a “pretty” person would.

        I had similar experiences in my youth and it definitely warped my perception of self-worth. It took a long time to overcome.

      I mean she found him cute so he wasn’t actually ugly.

      I on the other hand get “oh, you looked better from far away.” You want ugly I can show you ugly! Lmao

      Edit: I’d “love” to gross you all out with my picture, but I value being at least somewhat anonymous so I don’t want to link a picture to my username lol

    Women out there are still complaining they can find a bf when all they have to do is say something vaguely nice to a guy and he’ll marry you.

      eh… women are mostly complaining because they struggle to find men they’d want to date, not because they think men won’t date them.

        Well, I hate to break it to ya, but not every woman is going to get to marry a 6-6-6 just like not every man is going to marry a 10.

        Additionally, most women would probably be better off marrying a man who WANTS to date them rather than trying to get one who doesn’t.
