It's called being honest and realistic about your looks. I'm well aware most people would rather blow smoke up their own behinds then go there.

If you are left out of that part of socialization, it's hard to catch up later in life. Not impossible, but your path and experiences will be different from what everyone else had.

I agree with this, very good points (sorry cannot rep again).

Just wait a minute, while I ask the man in the mirror.

This is the thing. And put yourself in situations where you can get to know people and they can get to know you in a low-key atmosphere before you make a move to ask them out.

After reading some of the posts here it occurred to me: my own brother fits this description. Not good-looking, always overweight, and he doesn't even have a good personality. And yet somehow he found a wife; average-looking or maybe high-average, great body, mellow personality. I don't know how he did it, except partying was involved in the first encounter, that's all I know, lol!. To this day I don't know what she sees in him. If he can find someone (he's really a bit of a jerk), anyone can. Anyone.

Well these pictures are just examples of people that don't have necessary have good looks, and most people would agree with it. Yet if is their fame that makes so attractive and even sexually desired by certain people.

This is hundred percent true, anyway you are better off being not in demand for American women. Trust me, american women are super shallow, demanding, materialistic and even after all that, they cheat on their partners more than any other women in this world, so I would suggest you to go after Asian women in Asia(not the Americanized ones), they are less prone to being judgmental about your lack of height.

I find it hard to believe that an immediate family member of yours is an unpleasant person.

I've seen plenty of "ugly" people dating and in successful romantic attachments. Maybe they couldn't date the most beautiful person in the building and maybe most people wouldn't find them attractive in the least, ever, but, once they assumed all of this (which is a part of growing up after all, so it tends to come naturally as you age), they had a dating pool of their own, like everybody else.

And yes, cliche as it may sound, attitude is key.

The whole "personality counts" is just what people use to rationalize. If you're ugly and you can't get a date, then it's your attitude. Right.
