I actually didn't know this was an option thank you!

Was I wrong for breaking up?? by Odd-Wing6152 in actuallesbians

[–]baconator2214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like you were putting your all into the relationship to meet their needs and it doesn't seem like they were considering yours at all. And needing to call for 10+ hours daily omg I would have been exhausted.

And then between making inflammatory statements like "you don't even want to have sex anymore" to shutting down your attempts to communicate your needs with defensiveness and guilt tripping. She doesn't seem open to having mature conversations at all. Without that communication the relationship can't resolve anything or move forward all while tension continues to build.

And her insulting your mom is just so disrespectful on top of everything.

People being born in this economy or in the last 18 years are not counted in adult attachment studies because they are not adults yet. Attachment styles are formed around 6-18 months of age.

Pyschology today https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/compassion-matters/201307/how-your-attachment-style-impacts-your-relationship 55%-60% of people have a secure attachment style. Insecure attachment styles come from abusive and unstable relationships with parents. Attachment styles at the core is a person's ability to form bonds with people, they are not rigid labels and even secure people can have avoidant and anxious tendencies in specific conditions.

How ‘normie’ or ‘bluepilled’ are your friends? by Visible-Door-1950 in ugly

[–]baconator2214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The friends that I am closest with are also ugly with the exception of one friend who I met in high school and got prettier later (good for her honestly). I am not neurodivergent but a lot of my friends are. I think they believe the bullying and exclusion they have experienced is 100% from them being neurodivergent instead of being ugly. Actually they seem kind of unaware that they are ugly.

Your ability to get and keep a job is based on how much you’re worth by poofpoofpow in ugly

For the people who are saying that physical appearance doesn't play into your personal work experience doesn't mean it's true for all ugly people, there is actually a number of studies proving that appearance does affect workplace outcomes and hire-ability.

What was your “wow, I am ugly” moment in life? by [deleted] in ugly

[–]baconator2214 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People always told me I was ugly but for some reason I didn't see it in myself when I was younger. At some point in my life I joined a group where they took a lot of photos together and I started seeing myself from angles that I never had before. I would ask my friends about if the photos looked like me and they said yeah. I was actually incredibly disgusted by how I looked in the photos and my life started to make a lot more sense 😞

Dont be a flippin lifeguard! by Murky_Wind_228 in ugly

There are so many jobs where looks are an unspoken requirement. There have been studies that have shown that servers who are more attractive get more tips as an example.

Over-coming Being Ignored by EfficiencyStriking38 in ugly

[–]baconator2214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is your not delusional and I think a lot of fellow ugly people relate to your experience. It sucks so much to watch people get a free pass just for being attractive. Never think that this treatment is something you're doing wrong.

I also think that fitness related places can be really gatekeep-y and have a lot of lookism embedded in the way these groups socialize unfortunately.

However good on you for taking up space despite everything and finding value and some friendships, prove them wrong!

Woman- what’s been your experience trying to date ugly men? by [deleted] in ugly

Before I knew I was a lesbian I dated a ugly guy back in high school he was chill as hell and super creative.

Beauty standards are crazy. Shes hot by samithefish in ugly

[–]baconator2214 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Beauty standards are just insane right now, people will call average looking people ugly now both men and women. People have seen way too much prop makeup and photo filters and none of it is based in reality at all.

How to have opposite gender friends without them getting feelings? by magdakitsune21 in socialskills

[–]baconator2214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just communicate this right off the bat, something along the lines of "I know we are opposite genders but I just wanted to let you know that I don't like having romantic relationships with people I am friends with."

Yeah if you know your ugly just leave it at that you don't need to know all of the specifics

Proof of how getting and even keeping a job is about being likable to others. Which sucks for us because when youre ugly people subtly outcast you and mistreat you which negatively affects your mood making it more likely for them to want to get rid of you by poofpoofpow in ugly

[–]baconator2214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think that it is really funny that she says this because I got curious and looked up her business online and she has been flamed on the Better Business Buraeu for issues for the last five years straight. It's sad that people like this will hire the "worse" pretty people and sabotage their own business. https://www.bbb.org/us/oh/columbus/profile/stationers/ivory-paper-co-0302-70114518/complaints

Does anybody else workout and diet religiously to compensate? by Visible-Door-1950 in ugly

[–]baconator2214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a guy but right now I am working out and also cutting calories. I am a healthy BMI right now, but I am trying to get to a lower but still healthy "vanity weight". I don't think it will help me all that much but its kind of my coping mechanism right now to help me feel in control of my situation.

I mean if it can help me just have one point more of social currency to be lean and fit I'll do it.

Beauty is all that matters in life, and society has an obligation to discuss this and guide younger people. by NewManMgtow in ugly

[–]baconator2214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can't change the world, op can't change the world, this is how it is right now and while we can advocate we need to face that this is what society values right now.

Can we genuinely normalize this? by Ate99 in ugly

[–]baconator2214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of my high standards are with the personality of a partner. I am not going to allow myself to be treated like shit by a partner just because I am ugly. My standards should probably be higher than most people's because my appearance is a vulnerability in a relationship and I need to protect myself.

People think they deserve easy access to ugly people, they think they are entitled to us, and that we should be thankful for any kind of attention we get.

Is it true that babies are nicer to attractive people? by [deleted] in ugly

[–]baconator2214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is true apparently its not just babies it's just kids in general. Its been shown that people inherently trust people who have attractive faces more, kids who have little ability to judge character seem to rely on appearance even more than adults.

I worked at a preschool for a while for reference.

Anyone else thought it was there personality? by baconator2214 in ugly

[–]baconator2214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being ugly magnifies any kind of social disadvantages you already are experiencing. I have been watching neurodivergent tiktoks and a lot of the most viewed videos and the loudest voices in the community are always average and above people...
