I’ve seen it numerous times from multiple people. Some of these people claim you’re not a “true” ugly if you’re fat, have acne, need braces etc. etc. That “true” ugliness is only correctable with surgery?

I think ugly is ugly… A girl can have a recessed jaw and look better than a girl with a non recessed jaw… I don’t think “true” ugliness is “just” the bones… what do you guys think? I think it doesn’t matter whether it can be fixed by softmaxxing or hardmaxxing or whether it can’t be fixed at all… ugly is ugly…

Has this happened to anyone here before? I was at a party yesterday and was with a friend and someone he knew and the other guy insulted my looks… Now I’m very aware I’m not the best looking guy lol… but this guy without a doubt was more unattractive than me.

He was short, bald and old looking even though we were the same age (not to make anyone who looks like that feel bad it’s just the facts). I’m very critical of my appearance and I can say without a doubt I looked better than this guy.

When he made his comment I looked at my friend and we shared a knowing look, my friend shook his head and waved his hand in a “no” gesture to me to probably not say anything back.

Why would someone do this lol. He was drunk. But is it just a complete oblivious thing to where they do not understand where they are on the looks scale?

Posted on his TikTok - why is he no longer selling the course? Why offer it for free? Is it a data harvesting method you think and he’s being paid more to collect data? Thoughts?

28M, hair has been thinning. Not really noticeably - but my friends and girlfriend’s boyfriend had been complaining about hairloss. I thought Ghee! I’m glad I don’t have that problem! Then I checked my crown and it’s definitely thinned - so I’ve decided to get a jump on it and get on duasteride + minoxidil.

I’ve researched online and understand the meds but I want to hear from real people on them about what they wish they knew before starting, anyways to minimise side effects etc. any help is appreciated!

Very interesting person/topic but a poorly conducted interview by K Shami (pre warning if you choose to watch it)

What do you guys think? It’s definitely admirable to do so much in one go; it’s inspirational and proof that surgery is not out of reach and is possible…

I watched the interview, he seemed very blase and unconcerned about getting so many procedures… like he was kind of numb… I guess that’s what pushed him over the edge to do it.

What are your thoughts on plastic surgery? I think it’s a double edged sword and you really need to do your research before committing.

P.S (he’s not botched just still swollen)

I’m going to say it’s:

1.) Twitter
2.) TikTok
3.) Instagram

I’m not a big Twitter user but my friends always send me stuff from there so I started scrolling and man sometimes you’ll see a person post a random ugly person and people are just flaming them like crazy with no remorse…. Maybe it goes hand in hand with the reduced moderation the app “boasts”

What do you guys think? There’s of course dating apps but it’s not what I really meant when I said social media…

Positive tag? Not sure… I got picked for an international work trip on Friday, it’s in a couple months. I’ve come back to work after recovering from under eye fat grafting and I’m a bit swollen bruised puffy and not the most presentable looking right now.

My manager called me into the office with the CSO and they congratulated me and told me I’ve been doing good work and they want me to come with them to an international work conference. I was happy and of course said yes then came the kicker…

They chuckled and said it’s providing my “face looks normal by then” in the moment I laughed and said yes it will, and they jokingly told me not to schedule anymore surgeries.

Then I left and as I do thought about the interaction, it’s a real shame that not having the right face will block opportunities from the competent and not being “work social” will 100% impact you moving forward… even in a career.

So it’s a positive story but like… with an unfortunate undertone. I hate that looks are so important, but recognising it and then using that information can benefit you also.

I had under eye fat grafts just over two weeks ago, I’m due to return to work next Monday… I told them I was going on holiday. I didn’t want to deal with the array of “why are you doing that?” “You don’t need that” etc. etc.

I’ve had a nose job but that was at 22, I had it after university and a gap year from working so the only people who saw it was friends and family, nobody in a professional environment.

Has anybody here had surgery then returned to work? Wondering how I should navigate the questions? I’m still fairly bruised and swollen. Could cover it with makeup but honestly I can’t be bothered to do that daily and it would probably still be noticeable.

I want to play it off like it’s not that big a deal… but truth be told it is.. it’s surgery on your face…

I will start by being truthful… I have. The most recent one coming to mind is when I was at a club talking to a girl and her friend tried to get me to stop talking to her. I kept it calm and polite until she commented on my looks saying “I’m too ugly for her” …. Now I don’t mean to sound cocky or blase but I was NOT uglier than her… I was drunk and said “let’s not talk about looks” and she carried on and then I mentioned her face.

I felt bad after the interaction and then felt stupid for feeling bad since she started it. Have you ever been rude about another’s appearance? What was the situation? In general I don’t go round calling people ugly unprovoked because 1.) I am ugly so I’m not trying to get the backfire on me lol 2.) it’s unnecessary

I have never used a fitness tracker/wearable and have not been training in a year and wanted to buy one to train with more science in mind (and honestly just wanted to see the data) I’ve browsed Reddit and YouTube and the comparisons are stark… not sure what to believe.

If anyone has recommendations for me I’m a former amateur boxer and want to start training again… so for weight/running sessions the wrist strap will be fine. I’ll have to hack it for when I’m wearing gloves and create a makeshift bicep strap with a strap maybe ordered online and a compression sleeve.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for wearables for me? Or if they think the Fitbit air will be a good introduction into this world? Thanks!
