Exclamation Is it still possible to find someone if you're not attractive?

Hi all, I'm in my early 20's and I haven't really had anyone interested in me romantically. To be honest, I don't have a pretty face and my body is not very feminine. I do try to have a warm, friendly personality and I have lots of female friends because of this.

I just don't have any men that want to date me! They rather go for my typically attractive, quiet friends. Please do not suggest plastic surgery because I don't believe in it. Is there anything I can improve on that is possible to do? Thanks so much for your help!

No, not possible.

Look out in the street. There are no unattractive people with partners. None.

I think there is somebody for everybody. It may take longer for some people to find it, but it will happen if you have the right attitude. I definitely have some unattractive friends that have a significant other. I also have some attractive friends that just can't seem to make any relationship work.

Talk to member 39388, he's looking for a date and he's not picky about looks as long as you're sweet and smart.

Somebody needs to quit making things up about me if you want me to even bother reading any of your posts. I simply stated that women of many sizes and shapes can be attractive, including some that are overweight and or very thin. I'm sure I am picky in some areas. I do want someone that looks like a woman.

taintedlove, first of all are you sure some or all of these feelings are not in your head? Some people look great, but feel they are ugly.

Also, you could play up your feminine feautures if you feel your body is not feminine enough. You female friends might have good suggestions. You can dress in feminine way, wear your hair in a feminine way, etc. Be open to trying new things! Also, you are very young so you have a lot of time.

I'm a male in my mid 30s and I'm working on inproving my appearance. I'm starting to work out and will be buying some new clothes in the near future. I feel I'm not attractive, but I don't know how much is real and how much is imagined.

my old roomate wasnt an attractive guy and his girlfriend definately was not attractive. They are really good for each other and seem to really be in love. Put yourself out there, youre bound to find someone great. Try some online dating too. Join a few clubs. Take risks, life is too short. Keep your head high im sure youre a great person! I cant tell you how many times I see normally less attractive girls go up twenty notches in attractiveness to me because they are super cool people.

My answer to you. You are beautiful. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

I think a lot of people confuse this aspect. Different traits will be attractive to different people. As long as you're comfortable in your own skin, you'll find someone.

I agree! Also, I also love it when a woman smiles a lot and is an upbeat person. That alone makes a huge difference.

My impression is clv is making a genuine effort to help you. While hooking up through LS probably isn't possible, don't get offended by this.

If he is, he will not make untrue posts about me and not talk down to me. He can stop at any time he chooses. I've been walked all over by this type of behavior for years and I've had enough.

This is off topic anyway. The topic is helping out taintedlove. She has lots of time to find a man.

Whomever has been telling you you're not attractive, stop listening to them!

If YOU believe you're beautiful, other people will, too.

I completely agree that different traits are attractive to different people. Being comfortable in your own skin is a big positive, but I don't know if that is always enough to find someone. Some people naturally attract others with little effort, while others have to work very very hard at it.

Yeah, I'm not so sure. If I weighed 160 pounds, had bad skin and didn't wear makeup or dress well... I am certain no-one would find me attractive, no matter how beautiful I thought I looked.
