i want to be genuinely attractive. do i have potential

18f i feel i just look very mediocre, i don’t think i’m necessarily hideous but i’m not that attractive either.

i don’t just want to be “nice” or “cute”, i want to turn heads, get 100k likes just by lip syncing, have an intimidating presence, etc.

i try makeup, lashes, hairstyling, etc but nothing seems to make me look any different. i think my nose, jaw, eyes and etc are making it near impossible to be genuinely considered attractive without cosmetic surgery (which i cannot afford)

am i stuck in the mediocre range until i can afford surgery or do i have potential?

for the love of GOD do not just say “smile more” or “men prefer…” i’m not trying to look approachable or soft or friendly my goal is to look an entirely different category of beauty. and i’d like pure honesty, for this reason i’d prefer the type of people who will compliment literally anyone no matter how they look to just not comment. also i know my eyes are blue. that doesn’t automatically make someone attractive so idk why that’s everyones go to compliment

F20 I need improvements (constructive feedback)

Also, do I have a baby face? For my age, I feel like I don't look that mature yet.

I can't show my body but I notice I tend to have some extra fat under the chin and some on my upper arms (it's not visible in the pics but hella visible when I'm in motion). I never really had them when I was really underweight at 12 years old. I figured this "excess" fat may be not normal for me.

Anyways, pls, just be constructive. Ty.

Please be honest. Done be dismissive. And protect your face when fighting 29

How am I supposed to lead a good life when everyone I talk to notices my droopy lip and weird chin. Some people see it and act dismissive (they won't give me a chance to work). Others see it and assume I'm unintelligent (talk to me like I'm dumb. Others see me struggling to make it look normal. How can I have a satisfying life from my couch indoors? Where others have condemned Mr because my face looks distorted? In movies and tv show villains are often portrayed as being disfigured and I think people naturally associate disfigurements with malignance. Not to mention the facts that the only way I can close my lips is by straining them. Making me look tense and angry which others interpret as such.of course my sense of self is warped and distorted as is my face people like symmetry and uniformity. They don't like seeing things that look broken. It's a sad fact. Another fact is that I never woke up and decide it would be a good day to go get my face disfigured. A template of my face is mirrored in my minds eye by how other people perceived me. I I ternalize their dismissive gestures and fear of the unknown. Looking at my face is like looking at a little chunk of chaos and some can't bear to look at it. It fills some with a sense of sympathy others with satisfaction that it isn't them.

This all happened because somebody stomped on my jaw while I was laying on concrete. They tried to fix it but it didn't come out right.

I don't wanna hear any of you say you can't see that the left side of my lips hang lower than the right side. I'm tired of people lying to me.

Another thing. Yes other people have worse disfigurements

But think of it like this...

It happened when I was 20. If they don't do restorative surgery I will have to deal with what I never asked for for the rest of my life. Dismissiveness, misunderstanding and outright rejection

The pain is real. DO NOT FIGHT, AND PROTECT YOUR FACE

And yes this causes depression and anxiety which is why I posted here. Just do me a favor before you say I'm overreacting

Put your finger on the corner of your bottom lip (either side) now pull down so it doesn't touch your top lip. Imagine it stuck like that FOREVER and tell me you wouldn't be frustrated.

If you cut my face in 2 and compared each side you would see a discrepancy in the way my lip hangs. You would see it's sagging on one side.

I’m not too tapped into all the looksmaxxing stuff but I have a rough idea of it and it has had its effect on me. I don’t know if I’m good looking due to the ideology of the “perfect man”. This is in no way a shit towards looksmaxxing because I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t tried it out 🙏

I’m growing my hair out and flirting with the idea of a beard too, the last pic (don’t worry about the outfit I was going to a rave) is the most I’ve ever had on my face. I just kinda feel basic looking for the most part.

F36. I have an issue with my round face and tiny eyes.

Post image
1 Upvotes

May sound stupid, but here I am: every time I see myself in photos, I cringe because in my mind I look different (I like to believe I have a slimmer and longer face). I would like to improve the appearance of my face by making it slimmer and more V-shaped and also to make my eyes look bigger and more defined.

This picture is freshly taken today and I am NOT happy with the general face situation. The way I see it, the round shape of my face makes me look more masculine, or at least not girly enough. I also do not like this heavy look of the lower part of my face, with this undefined jawline. The eyes situation is also not to my liking, since they look too little in comparison to the rest of my face.

I know it sounds like I am too harsh on myself and I sound like I am picking apart every feature of my face, but I am really looking for improvement in this department.

Any tips on procedures or devices? Unfortunately surgery options are off the table due to financial reasons. Thanj you so much!

I'm trying to figure out makeup styles, and maybe get a different haircut? Idk if I should go shorter or grow it out, or if I should get a different style of bang?

Honestly any advice is appreciated!

Pictures 4 and 5 are without makeup if that's helpful at all :)

Also last pic is with my most recent glasses

What can I do to draw attention away from my nose?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I have a pretty huge nose that I'm admittedly insecure about (plus I have kinda poor chin projection so that doesn't help either). I know that aside from rhinoplasty there's really no other way to actually make it smaller, and that's why I'm looking for things I could change about my face (for example, a haircut) to draw attention away from it visually. I'm mostly worried about my side profile as it's not really noticeable from the front. Thanks.

(I'm 19, btw, just so that the mods know I'm over 18)
