But not that bad, my heart is great, my nose is big, I've got a big belly but a nice ass, but so what? We are all different, thank goodness! How boring otherwise!

8. elshiva, your posts and what they say suggest just the opposite.

Permit many, many of us to disagree.

And more power to ya.

10. Thank you! OK! I am really, really ugly...

[saltpoint]

11. Nope. I'm not buyin' it.

No one who honors Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan can be ugly.

No chance.

17. Elshiva, I don't buy that for a minute...

You are beautiful.

21. It would be more accurate to say, "I *feel* really, really ugly."

12. So what? Do you think Janet Reno cares if she's ugly?

It's better to feel beautiful than to look beautiful.

15. Horsepuckey.

Even if it were true (and I don't believe it is) that you fall toward the unfortunate end of the aesthetic scale, there are a great many people who would look at you and see beauty.

I have a dear friend who was in a horrible disfiguring accident as a teenager. She's been married, lived with a man, has children, even had some guy with a crush on her. All of them, really decent human beings who found beauty in her.

I often hear people I know indulge their angst over some minor flaw, ...being a few pounds overweight, having a big schnoz, being endowed with too many freckles or the worlds most boring hair. Or something.

I wonder when I hear those things how much we stop ourselves from being loved by simply believing ourselves unlovable. If so many people can look at my friends scarred face and see beauty; if men can look at a woman I've worked with who has a deformed right arm and find her worth loving, why would 20 pounds or a big nose hold anyone back?

I can think of nothing more subjective than beauty. If there are people willing to see it in you, why the hell would you want to talk them out of it?

16. Can I ditto you?

Superficial stuff is so transient. It sustains nothing.

19. Not true!

The media keeps shoving images of certain types of people at us telling us that's beauty. And that's bullshit.

I don't think cookie-cutter "beauty" is really beautiful. Uniqueness, in looks/ideas/personality - that's beautiful. Kindness, compassion, intelligence - that's beautiful.

Considering that, ugly isn't a word that even belongs in the same sentence with you.

Khash.

20. Me too, but so what?

My face lacks symmetry, my nose is too beaky, I'm short and squat and my ass is huge, and my toes are mismatched, and my boobs look different from each other, and the lower half of my face looks twenty years older than the upper half because of the radiation. But I've decided I just plain DON'T CARE. I don't have to look at me! And if my friends don't mind, I don't either.

If you are actually aesthetically challenged (I'm not entirely sure you *are*, because I've known plenty of good-looking--even beautiful--depressives who were convinced they were hideous; it's called Body Dysmorphic Disorder) anyway, IF you are, look at it this way: It's a good way to screen out the shallow, superficial, freepy kind of people who would make lousy friends and even worse lovers.

Besides...you like girls, right? What's attractive to women is a far greater range than what's attractive to men!

Post a photo of yourself, and I'll tell you what good features you have.

22. Ugly is relative.

I have seen some of the most physically stunning people, until they open their mouth...then, I saw how ugly they truly were! I have also seen people who physically could scare paint off a wall, then they opened their mouth, and I could see how beautiful they truly are.

Sometimes, I feel ugly physically. Then, my baby tells me how beautiful I really am. I have to remember, it is not what is on the outside that counts, at least not to people I want as my friends!
