Bro, I'm good looking. It doesn't matter. If I don't put in the work. ALL of the guys u see with girls put in work to get them, I don't get them. I promise. Looks MIGHT get your foot in the door and they might make a small difference, but personality matters a million times more.

The thing is that good looking guys tend to be more confident. Confidence gets girls. Good looking guys also tend to be narcissistic. They brag about their successes and oftentimes don't even see their failures. THAT'S why they get girls, not directly because of their looks.

How do you figure I'm extremely shallow?

Because I call others shallow? It might make me judgmental, but that is not the same as shallow.

If I looked like him, every woman that has rejected me would have gone out with me. I'm not talking about the ones who didn't know me, at bars or whatever. The ones who knew my personality over some amount of time and got to like me.

I'm thinking of like 10 women spread over 15 years who rejected me after they got to know me (and they ALL liked me as a person, you could ask them today) and I think if I looked like that kid (appropriately aged over the course of my life of course), they'd all have gone out with me, if even for a short time.

I mean, it sounds pretty accurate. Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong. A news report of 2 people getting killed and you post this in relationship to the story???

You are hurting, man.

It's more than better luck though. I feel that if I looked like that kid, I could have gotten EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Then 10 btw is just a random sampling of women who actually got to know me. The real number of course is a lot higher.

Anyway, it appears people are taking this topic a bit more seriously than I intended.
Anybody that will argue with you about the fact that everyone has demented thoughts would be in complete delusion. Show me a person without a demented thought and I'll show you a dead person.

However, don't kid yourself about that kid, even his looks would get rejected.

Taking it too seriously? You post an OP about two kids being murdered, and how your life is a failure because you don't look like the kid in the article, and you're surprised we take it seriously? Is this another one of your joke OP's? You really need to flag those, if you don't want us to take it seriously. on C-D, you can't assume it's obvious.
If it's a joke, its a pretty bad joke at a bad time.

One of the rare times that I agree with you.

That's what makes good-looking guys repulsive. Except for the few shy ones. This is why many women go for more average-looking guys with great personalities. This is why you see attractive women with fat guys, short guys, dorky guys.

I know.

I'm f@cking a miserable person. I'm 36 years old, and I have no idea how I got this way. Was it all the rejection or was I just born to be this way?

I try to stay upbeat and positive, but my thoughts always come back to all of the rejection. I always regress to thinking the same thing, EVERY DAY. I mean I could not post it here... but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking it. Maybe it was because I was a shy kid that was picked on. Maybe it's because I'm short.

Who the h@ll knows. I mean I don't let it interfere with the regular 9-5 dealings of my life which is going decent right now, but like I said, I'm still thinking it. Just being honest. I'm not sure what else to say...

Counseling. If the thoughts are recurrent and you're consciously battling to prevent them from interrupting your daily activities, then you need help. Plain and simple.

Good looking guys are repulsive... really?

I totally forgot.. personality is dictated by looks.
