I'm ugly you see, and most people treat me like dog meat when they speak to me. One of my brothers is very handsome and he didn't have to say a word, yet women would fall at his feet in admiration. One girl once said to me, "can I ask you a question?" I said "sure," and she said, "you're brother is so georgeous. What in the hell ever happened to you?" This was said to me in 1980 and I still remember the sting like it was yesterday. That really hurt.
The worst part for me as a gay man is the horrible treatment I get from other gays. They treat me worse than everyone else. In most cases when I hit on guys they usually ask me for money to have sex with them. Luckily for me I have a very loving family and some very loving friends.And my belief in God. Without that support system I might have killed myself a long time ago.
Imagine what it would feel like to you if no one ever asked you out on a date? In the last ten years only three people have hit on me. How pathetic. Welcome to my life. No wonder I'm on the computer all day-I feel like a person with leprosy.
I"m sorry, I know this sounds totally pathetic. I just wanted all you beautiful people to know how deeply sad it is to be an ugly person in a world obsessed with beauty.

When I was in 4th grade I overheard a boy say, "Susan W------, she's a DOG!" That really stung. Although part of me knew another boy probably said he liked me, which was flattering, but the dog comment is what stuck. For years. And somewhere along the line I picked up the attitude that with looks comes happiness. And I always tried to look better and beat myself up for physical flaws. I felt like if only I could fix something about my appearance then I would be happy. I think this is the first year I've learned not to do that. At 37. God bless age and wisdom.
I'm sorry you feel so badly about your appearance. I can imagine how hard that must be. And how insensitive of that woman to say that to you. Jesus. People can be idiots. I know I felt ugly for a long time. Maybe I wasn't but I thought so and perception is everything.
It really is what's inside that matters. All of those shallow people will see that one day and realize how dumb they were for wasting so much time on nothing.
