    I once had someone tell me " You are pretty confident about your nose considering how big it is."

    My best friend always liked to remind me that I wasn't good looking when we were younger.

    Yeah, I've been called a dog on more than one occasion. Still hurts to think about. No wonder I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror! I use a little compact mirror to put on my makeup in the morning so I don't have to see my whole face at once. Oh, well can't change it so I'll deal I guess. My husband loves me and tells me how cute I am so that's something! :)

    People seem to put a lot of stock in what others think of them. They'll change their hair or their clothes or even the way they talk in order to be socially accepted. Even ones who claim to not care what others think want to be seen as good looking. Basic human instinct. People have said a lot if things about me but they all differ. Example, an ex thinks I'm ugly now because my fat butt has slimmed down. Another friend says I look great but my sister says I'm fat. We hear opinions and some listen more than others. I feel beautiful when I know I've worked hard so when people do make rude comments about how I look, I don't care that much. The best thing to do us note it. Maybe you can work it into your routine!

    Yes I was always told I wasn't good looking by the kids at school, especially primary. I've worn glasses since I was young and my family didn't have loads of money so they were health authority glasses which were big thick and crappy. I was gimpy looking. I grew into myself once I left school and funny thing is it was the boys that would tease me that wanted to date me then. They had short memories but I certainly didn't

    I've often heard "you are a great guy but I'm not into big guys" which translates thusly into "fat men are not attractive" so... yes in a round about way I've heard this.

    Does this suck? Yes. That's the basis of the rocketfuel I use to workout and diet and stay slimmer and in better shape, because I want to not hear that again.

    When I first started walking for exercise I got yelled at by a car of passing teenagers, they were yelling awful stuff. Then they turned around so they could drive back again and yell some more insults.

    I got pissed. I kept going. I would NEVER do that to anyone.

    Guild member upon seeing a picture of me: Jesus, no wonder you don't have any friends. You're ugly.

    ...never mentioned any difficulties with friends

    This is how most people are programmed. We are social creatures that want to feel like we belong and are desired.

    have you ever been told you weren't good looking? if so, did it bother u? or did you think they were an idiot..
    a person who i used to hang out with just as friends - she told me that i wasnt even good looking.

    it didnt really bother me, but i was shocked to hear her opinion so bluntly like that haha.
    the weird thing is, now she wont leave me alone! she is blowing up my phone with txt and "oh lets hang out this weekend!"
    she seems desperate now to "hang out" and i always tell her im busy - ill hang out with her as a group, but it would never be a date, i would NEVER date her because of her shallow personality and she kinda sluts it up....

    its just amazing to me how much more attention i get from people these days as opposed to when i weighed 50lbs more than i do now.

    anyone else have a story about how your fitness journey and weight loss have changed the way people treat you?

    people that would have never given you the time or day to get to know them now want to get to know you, or maybe you've changed so much that girls or guys are intimidated to approach you or maybe you make them nervous because they like you lol.

    im just curious to know your story!

    Your friend (ex-friend?) is a dirty liar.

    I agree. I snuck a peek at your picture. umm. I can se why she is blowing up your phone now. :blushing:

    No, but when I was fat, my wife told me I was not attractive so blubbery.

    That honesty was a serious wake up call.

    As for your friend, sever that relationship.
    She's toxic!

    I have not been exactly told I was not good looking, but just the same I have been told I have chicken legs, scrawny arms, bug eyes, and a neck like ET....and this was from family and friends. People can just be mean. While initially these comments bothered me, I got over it by taking a good look at the people the remarks were coming from.

    Yes, but not with words, people don't have to tell you. When you are a teenager at a dance and the girl runs away, you just know. But I'm married (and married way up in looks) and old now and so over that. Fat or thin, I'm beyond hope, I've accepted my genetic destiny. Just like I've accepted the fact I'm going bald and I'm not going to try to change it! F&*% pretty people! Ugly Rules!!!!
