OK, so I'm a long term Veeky Forums poster and I know we're a bunch of fat autistic retards who jump on everyone simply to channel our own insecurites. I get that.
Yet I've also had a lot of help from here over the years.
Reovering skelly - was 8 stone at 6ft, so like nearly fucking dead. Pale as fuck too. Not good.
I've since hit the gym, sorted my diet, etc. Did my first cycle too, which not only allowed me to put on two stone of muscle, but also got rid of my anxiety, gave me loads of drive, confidence, etc.
I'm told I have a great personality, have a good social group (guys and girls) and also have a job in the music industry, so spend a lot of time with DJs, at festivals, clubs, etc. So I'm not some autistic "yy, you too" social outcast who can't speak to women or leave the house.
Girls (and guys for that matter) comment on how much they like me as a person, but constantly call me ugly - sometimes it's blunt (normally strangers) but sometimes it's more subtle (normally friends, which hurts far more - just fucking say it).
Problem is I think I'm good looking myself. I think I look a little bit like pic related. Yeah, yeah, whiny little fag who can't sing and has too much money. That shit aside, he's good looking, and widely considered good looking too.
I'm not sure whether to post a pic here though. Just want some thoughts.
Basically I've been told I can get cosmetic surgery if I can prove people think I'm ugly. But short of going up to people in the street (which is weird in itself and wouldn't even work) there's nothing I can do.
So, would you guys be honest? Stupid idea? Good idea?
Also, thoughts in general about this. Does anyone else get told they're ugly when they think they're not? Like reverse-BDD?
