No. Its not the end of the world. What you need (and what most of us need) is some
self-improvement. Thankfully, anyone can improve their looks.
Got Acne? Get some over-the-counter skin medication and use it. If neccessary, see a dermatologist.
Skinny? Exercise, lift weights and get on a healthy weight gain diet.
Fat? Excercise, lift weights and get on a healthy weight loss diet.
Bad clothes? Ask your sister or trustworthy female friend for fashion advice.
Bad Hair? Buy better shampoo. Ask trustworthy females what hairstyle would look best on you. Get more frequent haircuts. Ask your barber for hair care advice.
Stink? Deodorant, my friend. Deodorant. Also, find trustworthy female advice on different male colognes.
Bad breath? Breath mints, my friend. Breath mints. (See a dentist if your bad breath is clinical.)
WARNING: Please don't improve your looks in hopes that women will find you attractive. Your motivation will be short lived.
Instead, improve your looks so that you feel better about your appearance.
Believe me, it makes a world of difference in your ability to stick with the program.
Afterwards you will feel more
confident in an area of your life that beforehand you were insecure about. However, you still won't look like a Hollywood hunk or NFL superstar. You will still get rejected for your looks ...often. That's why its important to still remain realistic and appreciate the REAL WOMEN who are wise enough to give you a chance.
Thats also why I disagree with Pook. No matter how you slice it, looks
will play a major factor in your potential to attract women. While it is true that looks only matter to most women in the short term, you still can't land the starring role without first getting invited to the audition.
It is the combination of looks and confidence that attracts.
Rows1, your improved looks will at least signal to women that you respect yourself, and you'll get more auditions that way.
Here's the best part. The sense of accomplishment that comes from your self-improvement will increase your confidence to the level needed to
override whatever physical limitations you have left. And you'll pass those auditions, my friend. Thats how your ugly friends ended up with those gorgeous girlfriends. Not only were the girls beautiful, but they were SMART. Ugly or not, they knew a good man when they saw one.
I don't care how ugly you think you are. Improving your looks is THE key to attracting women.
Keeping women? Well, that's where I have to agree with Pook. Ditto his advice in that area.

P.S.: Don't forget to be a little picky. Ugly people have standards too!
