Going from ugly to beautiful

[Anonymous No.12774469]

Any of you people experienced being ugly/average and eventually becoming attractive?

Post stories, pics, whatever.

I feel the same way sometimes anon. I fucking hate how I look and want to die when i look in am mirror. On the plus side, a girl looked me in the eye and smiled at me today so that was nice.

[Anonymous No.12774686]

(im a girl)so all my life i was fat, until i started university and went like 20 kilos down. since then i have a really nice body. like my tits arent shaggy and stuff. but i still have an ugly face. so i just had a buzzcut and i act as if my ugly face was just part of my personality, something exotic or so. and many many people are into me. the end.

24 and 165 lbs now and much better. Losing my acne, being able to grow facial hair, growing into my looks, having a career/my own place and car, and banging 10 or so girls mostly sorted me out. Still have a lot of issues interacting with others, but I'm constantly improving and feel pretty nowadays. Owning a gun also helps with the anxiety, as when things are at their worst, I soothe myself by saying I can just shoot myself if things get bad enough, though I hardly ever feel that bad anymore.

Got my phimosis fixed without circumcision
Eat better, sleep more
Buy acne medication

Towards the end of puberty my cheekbones and jaw develop into an attractive face, I grow my hair out, and go for the prettyboy look.

My phimosis wasn't that bad, I was just unable to take the entire glans out of my foreskin even while soft.

I simply started to train its elasticity: every day before going to bed in the shower I would try and slide it as far as I could without hurting myself, and week after week it gradually got better and better until I could easily slide it back and forth without any problems whatsoever.

My foreskin still partially covers my glans when erect, but I could still pull it back all the way if I wish to.

For more serious cases of phimosis, you might be forced to do at least a partial circumcision, but I guess pleasure is better than getting penis diseases because your bloodflow is impaired

Yeah. I was considered “cute” by family and friends growing up, but I was never considered exceptionally good looking. The photo on the left was me when I was 16 years old. Photo on the right is 4 years later.

I started getting “hot” once I hit puberty at 17-18 years old. It was an over the summer type of thing. Life changing mang

Seeing your body improve and shape into something considered "hot" is really confidence inspiring. I didn't hate my body before going to the gym, but I feel way better about it now.
> I never wanted to be fit
I thought this as well, but getting swollen is hard. At least for me, somebody that eats very little and doesn't take proteins. It makes your muscles and veins more pronounced, which looks great.

When you workout( or just start running and doing calisthenics like me), you get less anxious. Your face gets thinner, acne gets better. All that improves your self esteem. Thats how it went for me, anyway.

I'm still trying to change a few things about myself, like losing a bit more weight and getting bigger/stronger, but I've come a long way.

Both men and women treat you way differently when they find you attractive. Girls think that I'm a stereotypical chad/jock/alpha type guy now but then I open up to them about my interests in mathematics/philosophy/literature and they find it endearing whereas before they just thought I was a nerd. Not sure if that's a maturation thing or an appearance/confidence thing though.

Started stronglifts a few months ago and body has changed quite well

I'm not delusional though, I'm aware that I still look small compared to an experienced lifter, but it's surprising how different you feel/people treat you after just a few months of lifting. Also surprising how many people are amazed at noob strength levels. I can bench my bodyweight 5x5 deadlift 1.5x 1x5, and overhead press about .75x my bodyweight 5x5.

Definitely notice people watching my arms when they're exposed. It's motivating that after just a few months, people notice.

I guess I should maybe address a downside of getting more attractive as well. When I started getting better in social situations it seemed like I could blend into any social group, but once I also started getting better looking and more confident it seemed like the people that were more antisocial or less confident didn't open up to me as easily as they did before.

Don't feel like typing out a huge greentext story, but i used to be overweight and dressed like a columbine killer and over the last couple years i lost 80lbs and started dressing like a mentally healthy person, and it feels like i died and woke up with someone else's life.

People make small talk with me everywhere i go, everyone is excessively nice and polite to me, get tons of compliments on my hair, my clothes, tons of "aww you're so shy, whats wrong, you don't like me?? :3" even though it was annoying and disgusting when i was ugly. Unfortunately that's where it ends since i'm still an autistic sperg and have no answers to their small talk besides "uh... haha.. cool" and they usually get bored with me
