"beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

Theoretically

There is no method of measuring beauty

But many men and women are superficial, and they treat people that they find beautiful, better than the ones they find ugly

Lookism discrimination

I think you need to get yourself a hobby.

Well in theory the good looking person will likely get more attention and have more people approach them, but if the person's a total jerk then most of the people will loose interest really quick. Ugly people on the other hand won't get other people interested in them as easily and have to make the first move more often, but if they don't act like a jerk and manage to pick an interesting topic to talk about then their chances are pretty much as good as the good looking people have... unless they're looking for a one night stand. I'm pretty sure looks are the deciding factor for those.

Ugly/pretty are kinda shaky terms. I was “attractive” when I was younger, but being slim and wearing nice clothes didn’t really help me win more girls. Body language and social awkwardness were bigger killers of any success I might have had.

But I’ve known guys who were easily 400+ lb. and were covered in girls at parties. Bald guys who have to beat girls off them with a stick. What’s the deal? Personality?

No, because a lot of these guys are shy or complete d-bags to women.

I’ve had moderate success with women. I’ve been married for 12 years and have 3 kids, so I’d say I turned out just fine. So I think that “ugly,” “pretty,” “great personality” are all useless terms in the long run. I think people who have more success are better referred to as “interesting.”

You're only saying that because I admitted to drinking a little bit of alcohol over the holidays.

Personally for me looks are not important at all, I think most guys have issues with self-esteem and that can be a turn off in itself, my best advice would be not to consider yourself ugly or attractive and try to learn to just be comfortable with your own appearance as that can be a very attractive thing in itself.

^ Don't believe her, she's Probably drunk.

Looks play a big role.

Try to save for a nose fixing surgery.

Depends on what ''ugly'' trait you've got.. the ugliest being bad manners.

What do you do when every woman says your ugly?

Do you need to be handsome in the eyes of a woman? Won't it be enough if she falls in love with your personality?

Also, I highly doubt every woman has seen you or your picture, so there can still be someone out there who doesn't think of you as ugly.
