NP, and I'm too ugly, too. My ex used to say "All cats are grey in the dark."
PP, I hope you realize that your ex is saying sh1t like that to on purpose to put you down. Else, why did your ex marry you if your ex always thought you were ugly?
We weren't married. He was my last long-term boyfriend, 18 years ago. I had one boyfriend since then, for 2 months in 2003. I told you, I'm too ugly.
Thank you for the support though.
Well, why did he stay with you LT if you were that ugly? I'm telling you.. he said that to bring you down. Please don't let him. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I had for years felt ugly because of what someone said to me. I didn't date. It really did a number on my self esteem. I finally started to feel better about myself in my late 20's and married at 34 to a wonderful man who makes me feel beautiful everyday. But, the low self esteem is still there deep down. I honestly do know how ingrained that kind of low self esteem can be.
Go get a makeover. Exercise. Go out with your GF. Make yourself feel beautiful. It really is about how you feel about yourself. Self confidence goes along way.
He moved here for grad school, and didn't know anyone. We knew each other prior. After he had friends and was established, he didn't need to be with me anymore. I actually haven't thought about him in many years, until this thread.

I'm a PP. I'm not going to do that just so men will respond. I don't care if men respond. I have my own life, and I would not give it up even if some man did respond. I'm not interested in marriage or kids, I have my own money and houses, and if I meet a man, fine. If I don't, also fine.

I got my hair blown out straight. I wore the shirt that makes my eyes look extra good. I did my makeup. And when the pictures came out and I saw mine, I literally physically recoiled in horror. At seeing myself. I have a dynamic personality - I'm funny and smart and super compassionate, a great friend, etc. But ... ugly.
It happens. It's nice that you feel bad, but if you want to be a good friend, the best thing you could do rather than saying "No you're not!" is to LISTEN. If you know of specific things she could easily do to make a difference, tell her. Acknowledge what she's saying rather than trot out platitudes.
That is sad you see yourself in that light. Please seek therapy for your issues.
I don't need therapy. I have some really great qualities. Looks simply isn't one of them.
I really respect your response, and it resonates with me. I am an objectively handsome, fit man. But I'm quite short. Many (actually most) women find me unattractive as a result of my height. I have other qualities, and some people see value in those qualities. Others don't. While ugly/pretty/handsome is somewhat more subjective than height, there are still some people who are simply ugly. Kudos to you for being able to accept yourself and appreciate what you have to offer. The original poster needs to do the same.

Women age like milk while men age like fine wine.
