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.
Tony, time for some counseling to help you discover your self-worth. Please check it out, and preface the counseling appt with "I'm 26 and haven't had a date". I am sure you have some great qualities, you need the confidence to give yourself a chance.
And please don't call yourself ugly. That in itself is being unkind to yourself.
P.S. Do not listen to the international online dating advice given above. (Those women only want green cards.)
I agree with staying away from online dating sites. You need to be really thick skinned for those-it's a great way to feel unattractive.
Why do you think you are ugly? Is it because others have outright told you so? I ask because I was always made to feel unattractive by my peers (barking at me and laughing, no hits on online sites, my own parents, etc) even though I don't think I'm THAT bad looking. But enough people tell you that and you eventually start to wonder.
For how to cope, I focus on doing the things I love and hang out with people who realize what a beautiful person lies inside this average package. That's when I'm my happiest and as a result my most attractive.
That's weird because a lot of these feeling just started after I spent some time on POF. I've probably sent over 100 messages and had 0 responses. Online dating is a total self-esteem killer.

Be good to your mind and just stay away from POF and every other crummy 'dating' site.

Stop looking inward and start looking outward.
If you look away from the mirror you will probably notice a nice girl, right in front of you, who thinks you're pretty cool.
I really don't get the 'I'm an uggo' attitude. If you say it enough other people might start believing it...
Does that really do you any good? It's certainly not getting you dates right now, so why not just go out and live life. If it happens, it happens.
