Do you think your life would be better if you weren't so ugly? (1 Viewer)

[sports_fan]

I figure this is a good place to get a large sample size.

 

[Raider Nation]

Do you know where you are?

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm beautiful on the inside

 

[Koya]

No, so long as my wife stays hot.



Let's face facts, it's how we are really judged. Hell, the uglier a guy is the better he must be to get a nice piece.

 

[bigmarc27]

As an aside, I used to weigh about 295 and then dropped to about 180 (6'1"). The way people treat you is immensely different.

Poll needs an "I'm handsome and you all are ugly schmucks with ####ty lives" option.

 

[sbonomo]

Its amazing how far I have made it looking like this!

I'd be interested in hearing more about this.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I've been called ugly, fugly, pug ugly, pug fugly, but never ugly ugly.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Looksism is more prevalent than racism.

 

[belljr]

See I'm learning later in life how hard it is for regular folk.

I skated for most of my life based on my looks and charm. Now that I have to put in effort it's a lot tougher

Fixed.

It's a little more than this, but when you're big it's almost impossible to not look slovenly. If your clothes fit properly, they'll be too tight in many areas so you're always in clothes that are too big in spots (either too long or too lose in spots). Being a former fat guy, the fat isn't spread proportionally throughout your body. You might have bigger thighs or a bigger gut or whatever, so nothing looks right and people think you're a slob even if you're trying to not be.If you don't look confident, people discount your opinions. If you're fat and have strong opinions, people find you obnoxious. You can get away with a lot more as a fit/attractive person. It's not any different than attractive girls getting their way. It displays self-control as well. If you're fat, people will discount everything your opinions. "Why should I listen to this guy, he obviously can't control his own life."

For me, I do a lot of presenting. I can own a room now much more effectively than before. I've made more money, moved further up the ladder, etc... since I lost the weight 8-ish years ago.

We all know people who way outpunted their coverage. And while I don't think I'm ugly, hardly Brad Pitt either and my coverage was well outpunted.

Although, granted, I can come off "wealthier" than I am. Haha wifey! In your face!

Oh, wait.

Oh, double wait.

Went from around 400 to 230 and people were amazingly nicer.

I'm sure people did treat you different. But I think you new confidence was even a bigger factor.

What I found interesting was that when people started noticing that I was losing a significant amount of weight and I told them my starting weight they were all shocked at the number. I am 6'6" and have pretty broad shoulders so I carried the weight well. However there is no doubt that strangers treated me differently the thinner I got.

Do you think they were doing it consciously or was it a subconscious thing? When you were really overweight, did you treat other overweight people differently? What about now that you've lost the weight?

I quoted BuddyBall but these questions are equally applicable to bigmarc.

Congrats on losing the weight. Maybe its time for a new handle.

Better questions is life better when you're taller... Im 5'6" and believe my life would be better at 6 foot tall

I dont think anyone was knowingly treating me different. I just think its a natural reaction when you see someone who is drastically over weight. As for my personality, I have always been the fun, positive guy that is pretty friendly. I honestly think that when society sees someone extremely over weight their initial reaction is a very negative one.

Can good looks overcome a small penis? Asking for a friend.

No.

The ancient Greeks actually preferred small penii as they felt it was less distance for the goods to flow before impregnating.

 

[doowain]

I'm 6'6. I'd consider ending it if I was a foot shorter. Even if I was a 5'6 dude that looked like Brad Pitt.

So, yes, life is better when you are taller. At least for me.

ETA: Although I have often wondered how much larger my junk would look if I was shorter.

The only downside really is when you go into a restroom and the only available urinal is the one for kids. It's like pissing off a roof. No matter what you do, someone's getting it on them.

Really? What if your "flow" is like a wild fireman's hose?

 

[McGarnicle]

If I'm just running errands and don't want to be bothered, I usually dress like a slob and don't shave or comb my hair. When I'm put together, it's impossible to even go to the supermarket without girls stopping me to chat, hand me their numbers, etc. :(

I don't think it's any different than making snap judgements on anyone for a number of things. The association most people make though is weakness and lack of self control.

Since I've lost the weight, I've actually found myself less accepting of overweight people. Maybe it's being angry about who I was, but whenever I hear an obese person talk about bad genetics I want to smack them. Everyone always has an excuse.

This is really interesting. I would think that people who were once overweight would be sympathetic to folks that are still overweight.

My brothers were both fatties, and both have bigmarc's mentality. They think that if they could lose the weight via lifestyle changes then others can to. Those others, in their opinions, need to shut the F up with the excuses.

I'm convinced that tall guys (>6'1"ish) are far more concerned with height then short (<5'9"ish) guys.

It's so weird.

The worst part of being short is that I have always been limited to the girls I dated. My wife is 5'4", but man I've always loved the tall athletic build

how do I go about changing from 5'5 to 6'5

Tuffnut beat me to it

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm 5'10", 6'0" in heels and my life is FABULOUS.

Seriously though, I can get wanting to be around 6' but no way I'd want to be 6'6"

 

[AcerFC]

I married my wife because she is 5'10. Hoping to give my kids a fighters chance

:crossesfingers:

 

[randall146]

I'm pretty good looking, and it's always helped cover for my bad personality

It's only because we are constantly hearing how tired women are of short guys. They really do hate men under 6'.

 

[AcerFC]

In short and fat. Imagine how people treat me
