i am not conventionally pretty, movie star pretty, or any of that. but i have enough casual sex to not give a f*ck. attitude can make up for a lot of physical deficiencies.

Great, not only are you a liar, but you're racist too.

I care because I want everyone to think I'm hot. A lofty goal, but seriously, I'm nothing if I don't have looks. That's why it bothers me so much that I don't have them.

I wish I had understood how pretty I was in my younger years. I really struggled with self esteem for many years. Only now, in my 40s, do I have an air of confidence that probably doesn't even match the reality! (Ala Elaine in Seinfeld, "...is it possible I'm not as attractive as I think I am?')

Occasionally I wonder if I fall into that first category, or will eventually. I'm afraid I might look at pictures in 20 years and realize I wasted a lot of time being self conscious. However, this is an unlikely scenario since we all know about 2012.
