How do you cope with being ugly and hopelessly single? (dating, married)

[tonym9428]

So I am 26 and never been on a date. I'm quite ugly, though I am in shape physically, well educated, and have a good white collar job. I just suck with women and it's extremely lonely being me. How do others who are in similar situation cope being ugly and single with zero prospects in sight.

Sounds like you might be in need of some professional help. Maybe hire a hooker?

Being ugly has absolutely nothing to do with being single. Its simply the fact that you think you are ugly that is stopping you from having any success with the opposite sex. To yourself you may be ugly, but to some you will be attractive. However, no one is attracted to someone who cant get over the fact that they think they are ugly. You have to accept yourself for who you are, be happy and content with your life before you can be succesful in dating.

Booze, a bottle of lotion and some prozac

unless you're limiting yourself to very attractive women, being ugly has nothing to do with it. i see ugly people coupled up all the time

There are TONS of ugly people out there who are married and have kids. They just found their counterpart, didn't let expectations or lack of confidence get in the way. You can be ugly, but the confidence to move past that is the only thing that will make someone else look past it.

This is your answer. There is someone for everyone.

Looks aren't keeping you back, your low self-esteem is keeping you back.

I have a friend who went online and met a women in another country. They are getting married soon as she can get her Visa to come over.

Maybe try international dating sites. There are women in impoverished countries who'd marry anyone to get out. They actually seem pretty happy.

helena rubenstein says there are no ugly women only lazy ones. it could apply to guys too.

Well said, notice we are talking about "self" esteem not "others" esteem. What this means to you is great news. YOU ARE in full control of your self esteem and it is an internal concept.
