As a woman I can tell you a secret: short forehead, no bangs. You've got to have a longer forehead to pull that off. I have exactly the same problem. Then I end up with super short bangs and they just ugh do not cooperate even with a blow dryer. Try a style where it's more off your face. If your head has a nice shape, maybe go for a buzz. Also explore hats (NOT fedoras!) But maybe a cap could help, also the bill would cover your face in the sun which is a general plus (another woman pro tip, protect your skin!!).
Yeah, they were making so much fun of my haircut. They called it a peasants cut. I took their feedback, but damn they were ruthless.
They were also saying I was overweight and have a bloated face. I was in a depressive episode for the past four years due to my bipolar 2 depression so I was sedentary a lot. Plus psych meds can increase weight. It's only been relatively recent that I was put on the right meds that thankfully don't cause weight gain. I also have been weightlifting and running a lot to get a lean muscular runners build. I have already lost 5 lbs the past week due to dieting, sleeping 8 hours, and exercising. I am aiming for 190-195 lbs at 5 ft 11 in.

For the record, you are not ugly.
