Without taking anything away from the great thread that Tiggs started, in which people posted pictures of themselves, I do have to say that It seems to have started a chain reaction around here, and not necessarily a positive one. One of the things I loved about coming here, was the confidence in the air that almost everyone had about themselves. They started threads that were funny, serious, thought provoking, and even down right silly( my favorites). But it seems that lately all anyone can focus on is that they think they are ugly, or not meeting some imaginary standard that we have allowed society to thrust on us.

We are all different, yet we are all the same. I could care less what you look like, but if you find a way to touch my heart, then to me you are beautiful. We all have things about ourselves that we don't like, but that is also what makes us unique. I am just very saddened every time I come up on a post in which yet another person is downing themselves. Come on people, there are enough cruel people out there just waiting to belittle you, must you do it to yourselves? I think this board has some of the most intelligent, funny, and interesting people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. And I have yet to see one person that I would think of as ugly. If I met you in real life, I would feel the same way..

Can we please lighten up on ourselves, and have faith in who you are, and your beauty will shine through..

Just my 2 cents....:)
 
I know what your saying. and as one of the people who went off about my looks.

For me it was sparked due to the others who were saying the same. As well as the swooning and drooling over some of the other members in here. It just kinda made me think that the people I thought always said looks dont matter or that they dont care about what everyone looks like suddenly seems as though there gonna be treating all these others differently now that they see that they are like really fine or they showed some private areas, leaving the ugly ones. (me. hehe) bumped out into the back of the back.

I know its not true. but its just a feeling ya know. Not one I wanted to come swoopin down on me but it was there. It dont bother me and im just having fun with it, but like you.....

just my 2 cents.
 
i'm with Mystery on this one... just kinda getting pushed back in the thread (and pretty much out of it) and you already have a slight bit of a selfconfidence problem (like i do) and to get pushed back and kind of forgotten (which makes me feel worse about it all... but i try to get past it... with the help of my friends and all... its just a problem that doesnt really go away

awwww.... you're such a sweetheart Mystery... you've got me blushing now... and i dont think i'd ever start yelling sexual harassment from you :D






btw... it's nice to receive the compliments from time to time....


*hugs Mystery* you're such a cutie :)
 
I dont consider 'baby faced' good looking, and neither does most of the population in Lit (as far as ive seen they like the satan look lol)
 
Persoally. I think it shouldn't matter. I don't care what people look like, but it was fun. I think people took it too seriously. Tigg's didn't start the thread to get everyone gabbing about who is gorgeous and who isn't. The thread has not changed my opinion on anyone on this board. I think everyone here is great. I think Sleeping you should lighten up. We all have times when we think we are ugly. You don't really have anything to fear. Smile have fun you will see a change in the way woman act. As far as anyone being ruined by the experience. I am sorry but if you want people to not care about looks then you have be the one to start. You can't expect others to do what you won't do. The healing all ways starts with the self. Willing and Unsure you are damn cute and if I wasn't atatched I would come over there and take you out for a romantic night on the town showing you off to all other guys to make em jealous. This is a choice. Some made it some didn't. No one will really look down on you for not posting your pic. Just don't go into the thread. Also, this is an adult board. Some people here are serious about bodies. I don't just mean barbie bodies either. I loved all the pictures that were posted! You woman are awesome and I am proud to be a member of a board that supports everyone. I did not see many negative responses to anyones pictures. I think the negativity is coming more in the form of green eyes. Accept who you are and enjoy life for it. You might think thats easy for you to say! Well suprise I never had many girls like me, I never had many friends, I never really had anyone. The ones I do have I have fought tooth and nail for. I am who I am never perfect all ways ridiculed and sometimes loved.
 
thanx Morden

you do have many words of wisdom... and i think they will be helpful to me... and hopefully to others as well... and i do know that appearance isnt everything, even though at times i still let other people judge me by that... but times change, as do people... and i do have a brighter outlook since the latest threads like this one :D


*hugs Morden* thanx again sweetie
 
Willing and Unsure :)

No worries hun. Even the most drop dead sexy woman have problems getting guys, or with thier own self esteem. You have a lot going for you. That picture was tre cute :). You are definately fur rug and fireplace material hun. I will bring the wine.
 
ok first off before I get back into the bad looks sub. & appologize for pretty much overtaking this thread...

Willing, im glad your finally taking it at least. hehe. Better then the down right refusal ya were doin. *hugs*

Thats what people who think badly of themselves need to do. Lighten up a tad, relax and just take a few compliments from time to time. Thats what Sleeping needs to do. Rather than just refusing every single compliment directed his way. hehe.

It took me years and years to finally learn that. Im trying to save you the time man. & anyone else who has the same problem.

Sure I still think of myself as a hideous goblin guy. lol But i take compliments now. I say thanks. and it does help with the self confidence issue. So now im just a goblin. but years ago I thought of myself as a horrible king geek whod never even have a friend let alone many such as the girl you all know and love Isolde, who is my ultimate bestestestestest friend of all time and get compliments and have great woman like Willing saying im a cutie. hehe. :D

So just deal, take the compliments and smile. it will make ya feel better.

Words of wisdom by me. ;) A guy who dont know much about anything else. lol.

oh and like i was saying early in this post. SORRY SIMPLY ME FOR TAKING OVER THE THREAD WITH MY CONSTANT DRIBBLE.
 
awww.... thanx guys (Morden and Mystery)... you both seem to be very good at making me blush :) you both are very sweet... and i'm glad to have met you both here



btw Mystery... i dont think Simply Me will mind that you sort of took over... the thread was made so we could post on it... and you did

*hugs you both*
you guys are great :)
 
SORRY SIMPLY ME FOR TAKING OVER THE THREAD WITH MY CONSTANT DRIBBLE

Not at all Mystery. I am enjoying reading what you all post and I personally think you all are great! Hugsss....:)
 
Fortunatly, I don't have such problems. I'm the first one to admit that I'm one sexy bastard. :p
 
lol a sexy bastard with no life. *looks over at your post count* lol. :rolleyes: j/k!
 
Amazing revelation

Okay, all of you who have been posting to this thread about your appearance have really done me a favor.... You are all beautiful...

It seems the common thread through this has been the comments of your peers in school. You all seem to be closer to it (age wise) than I am..... but guess what.....

I was thinking back to those horrible days, you know the ones when everyone pointed and laughed and called you "that name", the one you thought would follow you your entire life.....

I don't remember it anymore


So chin-up all you beautiful people...... even if you did nothing else tonight.... you gave me a huge smile.......

They were wrong about me and all those doofuses are wrong about you too
