Antlered Chamataka, have you lived in India? I heard from one Indian woman on another forum that there's not as much concern with outward appearance there.
Not so much as here. Women don't even straighten hair or do other things from here like waxing, trimming, etc., they are comfortable as they are. Girls are still pretty though. Not much obesity owing to the lifestyle - 110 degrees or more of sun burns calories away. One can literally travel in a city metro bus for 30 minutes and lose 700 calories in the sweating and city walking. Not much processed food either, everything is cooked at home.
McD and KFC just opened shop two or three years ago and are facing stiff resistance spreading across the country. Last week, they shot down the prospect of opening the first Walmart.
They however use natural oils, hair powders and sunblock cream.
Well, this time I'm going to answer the OP's question direct. This one has a twist.
Yes, I know how it is. I was never real "ugly", but from ages 12 to 15 I went through an awkward, ugly stage, and kids could be damn cruel. I became depressed, and these are the years that shaped my future behavior with people (anti-social to this day).
The last person to call me ugly ended up being the target of many years of passive-aggressiveness. Later that year I happened to "bloom", and now boys found me very attractive. I spent many years torturing the girl who called me that by posing threats with any boy she liked. I doubt I was interested in any of them, but I enjoyed making her paranoid. It was stupid. It was a few years before I decided to grow up and stop.
Not all teens stay ugly (as class reunions have proven).
i prefer ugly inside. i understand people are tempted to talk about the inside is what counts, but not to me. i dont need to get to know your insides, i want pleasant outsides.
i will always take ugly on the outside over inside...physical unattractiveness never ruins my day or makes me angry...but an ugly personality destroys my day and sometimes week to no end. i don't know why you'd want to subject yourself to an ugly personality but it's your life.

if someone else's ugly personality ruins your week then you are overly sensitive. if you are married or friend's with someone with an "ugly personality" that is your mistake. but this thread shouldnt even be touching on this concept of "ugly personality. it should be what life is like to a physically hideous person compared to someone else.

This is funny! I know we're all supposed to be compassionate and love our enemies etc, but sometimes revenge can be so sweet.
I believe this thread is suppose to be "non PC non empathy". Yeah its nice to put yourself in the other persons shoes but its also nice to sit back and say "whew, better you than me!"
Sorry,I didn't mean for this thread to be perceived as ugly.
People on the other thread "How does it feel to be absolutely beautiful" shared their experiences and thoughts,so I thought why not others on the other side of the coin share theirs?
As I've said,I have been on both sides. People are cruel. I wish I could say most people like someone for who they are on the inside,but 99% of the time that isn't even true. If you don't have a beautiful outside,most people will ignore you,from my personal experience.
That's because most of them probably don't put themselves out there.
Most people of the opposite gender don't just throw themselves at you!
(Like if you're on a fishing boat, don't just expect the fish to crawl from the water onto your boat then into your bucket without you putting any effort into it.)
All those supposedly beautiful famous actresses and actors die lonely.
This thread is ugly. This country is awfully superficial and it's only getting worse.
Maybe we should build concentration camps to house / get rid of all those ugly people, homosexuals, poor people and mentally ill people?
I swear, this country is becoming increasingly fascist each year.
Yes,you are right about this country.
There are people on here who openly admit to prefering ugly inside vs ugly outside.
