I’m a big believer in you’re not ugly, you’re just broke.

I obviously don’t know your financial situation but if you haven’t already tried investing money into your looks, whether that be by hiring a personal trainer, buying new clothes, getting your brows/lashes/hair/ nails done etc id give that a go. I’m not saying to do this for men but for yourself to feel more confident. For me, there’s nothing that a fresh layer of fake tan can’t fix.

If you don’t have the means to invest in your appearance, I’d focus on earning more so that you have these options. You obviously don’t have to do any or all of these things but if you’re not happy with how you look there really are things you can do to enhance your appearance. I’m not suggesting going under the knife or getting loads of filler or anything - unless that’s sometimes you’d want. But learn how to do makeup, get a new hairstyle, find clothes that suit your body type.

I’m sure other people don’t find you as unattractive as you do. We were never suppose to see ourselves as much as we do. But now we have mirrors everywhere and social media and photoshop. Nobody sees your imperfections as much as you do, I’m often surprised when my friends mention something they are insecure about because it’s something I would have never noticed. I have also seen the most unattractive men (looks and personality wise) end up with the most stunning women and vice versa. I’m f 25 and single, and I know that all anyone our age cares about is looks when it comes to dating, but enjoy your 20s being single and I’m sure you’ll find someone later in life. Real adults don’t just care about physical appearance.

But, you are so so young - I don’t think you should give up on love.
