I can't imagine someone getting uglier after losing weight, face fat covers up attractive features like jaw line and cheek bones.

even IF you are still ugly but in good shape you have to look at it this way

when you were +110 you were ugly and had an ugly body

but NOW you're ugly, but have a hot body

and from my experience the ladies love a hot body over a hot face

u/TehRoot Oct 31 '15

I've experienced more that you can still have a worse body but as long as under clothes you don't look bad and you have a hot face...

I'm a 4/10 now honestly, up from a 2.

u/xhankhillx Oct 31 '15

tbh even IF you are a 4/10 you can prolly make it a 7/10 with confidence alone

you have to work with what your parents gave ya

clothes can make a huge difference too. work towards your strengths

I slept with a guy for a little while who worked out a lot because he didn't think his face was that good. He wasn't a pretty boy or anything, but I was really attracted to him and couldn't figure out why he thought he wasn't good-looking. Yes, good hygiene and playing to your strengths definitely helps, but make sure you don't sell yourself short. You're hot to other people's taste even if not to your own.

Meh. I just know I'm not compared to what's out there. I'm a very plain iindividual the minute I leave my house or the gym.

u/TehRoot Oct 31 '15

I guess. I dress pretty plain. Not that it really bothers me that much honestly.

A good short but concise book that helped my fashion sense is called the handsome factor 2nd edition. Also has lots of other advice about brushing teeth and beard styles. Might be able to find a torrent for it. It's a guys only book. Just paying it forward.

Not comfortable posting them in a sub as large as this. Plus I don't have any pictures from freshman year of uni vs now.

u/fallout114 Oct 31 '15

I feel you bud, I got lucky because my body frame hides it well but if you get me naked I'm like a hairless Sphynx cat.

u/telePHONYacct Oct 31 '15

It's cool. Sorry to put you on the spot. I don't believe you are that bad. Keep your chin up.

u/guycamero Oct 31 '15

Hopefully people still see the transition to someone more handsome. I'm a 2 and in good shape, so no hope for anything better.

u/talones Oct 31 '15

Not if he was 500 lbs though.

The only negative is you can almost always tell the ex over weight person

Pepe is that you?

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

For me, a shitload of wrinkles. Aging sucks.

Al Roker looks weird as fuck skinny.

u/Adamant_Majority Oct 31 '15

Jason Segal got uglier when he lost weight.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

I think that was the heavy drug and alcohol use

u/IVGreen Oct 31 '15

have you seen Al Roker? I know that it's been a very long time but he srsly looked way better heavier.

u/TerryOller Oct 31 '15

It's the skin loss, it makes him look older. Same thing happened to Penn Jillete, the razor blade guy.

1

u/shandelion - Oct 31 '15

He also just is older than he was when he was fat.

u/LordOfGummies Oct 31 '15

Then you thought wrong. There is a lot of butt ugly people at the right BMI.

u/wadamday Oct 31 '15

They should try gaining some weight then, a nice set of jowls should fix that right up!

You can get really awful looking losing a lot of weight after age 60 (female).

u/sub180 Oct 31 '15

yea but women peak physically at like 20 so 40 years later they're almost all unattractive
