Me when I look at my highschool id card. I thought I was hideous then. Now, on the other hand …
Yep

The nice thing about not being naturally attractive is that as I get ilder and start to freak out about my physical health, I get better looking.
So for the most part I’m happy about always looking my best because dear god I’m gonna die at 40 if I don’t start working on my health now.

with estrogen… you just keep looking better

I think guys usually look better when they get older. More charisma, confidence. Not all but quite a lot.
And I think the attraction level of genders change. Women are super attractive when they are 20, but its hard for them to stay attractive when they are 40. For men its the other way around… They look better at 40 than 20, and age better.
Of course just my opinion.

Nah.
Some people age well, others don’t. IMO the ratio is about the same in any gender.

Fuck that I look way better.
I look older, sure. With less hair. A lot more single. But I’m down 90lbs and I’ve finally figured out style
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
and I’ve finally figured out style
Heeelllll yeah \m/
Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Same here. I’m getting a lot more attention from people who I thought were way out of my league when I was younger.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Weirdly this is true.
I’m a lot less attractive in my appearance but aparently more attractive as a person.
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 11 months ago
Oh I haven’t gotten any attention, mostly because I don’t get out of the house much.
I could. Probably should take a cooking class or something
rockyracoon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s awesome, congrats! This is the kind of inspiration I need.
itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
I hated my hair but I sure do miss it.
Gonzako@lemmy.world 11 months ago
is there any sub where I can post my pictures to get a female eye on it? Lately I’ve been feeling very meh about myself
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Honestly I just want some ideas for mixing up my style. I’m jealous of my wife and daughter for all of the fun dresses and jewelry and whatnot they can do but masculine outfits don’t really allow for many options
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
There is if you know where to look, but yeah, I feel you. I want to wear long flowy coats and such, but they’re all cut at the goddamn hip.
1984@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Reddit has subs for that but people are really not fair. Pretty people post pics of themselves and say they look awful. Yeah right.
SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I feel seen. DON’T LOOK AT MY THOUGH I’M HIDEOUS!
ickplant@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not as hideous as you’ll be in a few years!
nikosey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
100%. Also cleaning the kitchen. Always cleaning the kitchen.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
This is why I took a lot of time to make sure everything has a place without moving things out of the way.
…which my partner then saw as extra space and filled back up again.

And laundry. Always folding the laundry.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The key to a successful relationship is to have one partner that is sort of ok with doing the laundry and one partner that is sort of ok with doing the dishes.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Not if I never fold it and just pull out of the basket for the rest of my life
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d change that as : “Being an adult is mostly realizing you didn’t look as bad as you thought you did because the only person that was concerned about that was you. Everyone else was doing their own thing focusing on themselves, just like they are now.”
ickplant@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I like this version.
Lembot_0002@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Nah, with age I become wiser and my look is more or less stable for the last 20 years. Just more white hair but that doesn’t look bad.
You’re maturing wrong :)
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I feel like this is less true for women.
shalafi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yes, men definitely grow old better when it comes to looks. Women live longer than men though.
Clairvoidance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Well, always felt that.
I can’t tell if it’s just body-dysmorphia
