Were you the ugly duckling growing up? How do you feel now? (good looking, interested)

I was never an ugly duckling. I was always little and cute. As a teenager guys would tell me I looked like Linda Ronstadt. I was popular and cool as a 'bad girl'.

I became an ugly duckling in my 40s, invisible to men, kind of lost. You have this image of yourself for so many years and then you realise you aren't that same person anymore.

It has been an interesting development this aging process.

Now that I am a old Buzzard and looking back, I was not physically unattractive as a hatchling. I just lacked poise and confidence. It did not help having a brain the size of a planet. There are other things than looks that can lead to social un-acceptance. The Fable of the Ugly Duckling makes that point though.

I still look pretty good for an old buzzard.

I'm fading back into invisible mode, at least in the eyes of New England women.

I was fugly as a kid and now that I'm an adult, nothings changed.

There's more important things to worry about in life than what I look like.

If you have to advertise then the product clearly can't sell itself.

True... But, maybe like many others, you want to sell it to barely legal customers...

I don't think you should necessarily be offended by that

Oh well, at least you're not invisible to New Zealand women
