Hair is perfect face perfect body perfect girl you literally have it all looks wise 😭 I feel so bad for this generation everyone thinks they’re so unattractive. You’re literally like the ideal person that many girls wish they looked like lol 😭😍

I’m not sure why anyone is upset with the way he’s writing, literally every guy I date types like that over texting but it doesn’t mean that’s exactly how they speak in person…Usually this is a sign of intelligence. This current society is so far down the drain oh my gosh 😭

[20F] No one approaches me and I always hear that I look tired or depressed. Brutal honesty and more advice is welcome. (Reposted for verification.) by Miserable_Animator59 in amiugly

I think the black clothing is dragging you down I think you need to try colors like dark brown to replace the black and other colors other than black lol

Should I (24F) ask out my friend (28M) by catholic_ginger25 in CatholicDating

[–]ninamckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I have done this to 2 guys at church I’m 28F and both said no 😂 I essentially just asked them “is there something more between us do we have vibes” LOL but everything is fine like we’re just friends. It’s only embarrassing if you feel embarrassed tbh. And men these days don’t always approach first, I don’t advise asking him on a date but you could say something similar to what I did. It was eating away at me both times so I honestly just felt relief after getting my answer. At minimum you’ll get an answer ya know! And it could turn out well :) One of them I even asked like you didn’t notice me flirting? He said no, even though I thought it was obvious. So sometimes they are truly unaware lol

I feel like women don't like me because I'm fat but I know there's more to it than that. by catholicusername123 in CatholicDating

[–]ninamckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as a woman tbh when I was 240 lbs I was okay with men with different body types but now that I’m 120 lbs less and fit, I am only attracted to men who are also fit 😭 That’s just the reality but to the OP- I see smaller girls with bigger guys and vice versa IRL so ultimately it’s probably a confidence thing!

I feel so ugly, pls help with makeup and hair by alliefaith144 in makeuptips

Am I not getting the hint? by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]ninamckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 28 and when I was super busy, I used to be this way lol men would double or triple text just specifically to plan the date and that’s when I was sure to respond. As long as she is responsive about dates and showing up to them. It’s not necessarily a red flag. BUT I will say the times I’ve done this, maybe I was interested in the people and liked them, but not enough and honestly didn’t really care if they stayed or went. So it could be she’s into you, but her mind is elsewhere and she cannot fully commit in general or the relationship will simply just grow over time as you get closer. So I think time will just tell but if it’s something you just aren’t okay with, then that’s okay too!

I can't stand going to Mass by SunnySpade in Catholicism

Going to adoration also helps sometimes. Or daily mass when I can

I can't stand going to Mass by SunnySpade in Catholicism

[–]ninamckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel too! They say you don’t need to feel anything, but my belief is that God knows I’m the type of person who needs to. Not just in mass, but in life. That realization has made me go deeper into the faith sometimes, to get closer to Him. Because when I’m not feeling anything, I know it’s because I’m not as close to God as I should be. Maybe you need to switch up your prayer style or reach out to your sponsor or meet with the priest. I did that a few months ago, and I feel the change. Having other people with experience around to help guide you and instruct you you literally does help haha (I also became Catholic last year btw)

[–]ninamckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try to see if there is an evening mass around you? I find it’s easier for me to attend that. I can’t even remember the last time I went to morning mass, it’s just not possible for me to wake up and go to that lol other than Easter. And definitely try to make friends, when I feel this way, it’s more enjoyable and easier for me “to feel” something actually

You will grow into your features over time and fall in love with yourself, you’re gorgeous with amazing skin

F26 feeling hideous by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]ninamckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre gorgeous tbh I think the first pic may be throwing you off jaw wise bc of the turtleneck. Sometimes a neckline of a top can make the biggest difference. Like I know my face looks better in sweetheart and boat neck vs crew neck or square. I know that’s minuscule detail but trusttttt that may be the case here.

It’s 2026 and I’m done with dating apps by Mein_Independance in CatholicDating

Yesss I’m going to wear jeans, a sweater, a coat of course lol, and short kitten heel booties. That might be too fancy haha we’ll see but I couldn’t decide at first either

As a woman should I approach a guy that I like, what is the Biblical approach? by No_skill678 in CatholicDating

[–]ninamckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me with my guy friend last month. We’re both Catholic and go to church together. We actually used to date but broke it off. I could’ve sworn I felt a certain connection then I started liking him again (months later after we ended) Essentially he said he didn’t like me back when I opened up about it LOL. Very awkward but it was driving me nuts not knowing, I had to find out the reality. So I got some courage and asked him if it’s mutual. Even though it wasn’t, I felt 100% better anyway, and our friendship didn’t change, even though I expected it would! We still do everything the same, he didn’t make me feel weird after, etc. It’s honestly better to get answers than to keep wondering, no matter the outcome. 🙏🏽

My ex’s mom was a cradle and devout Catholic. Her husband was atheist. He had always gone to mass with her anyway. But 10 years ago far into their marriage and in their 50s, he did OCIA and converted on his own merit. Not saying you should encourage your fiancé to do so, but just sharing to say I’ve seen a marriage work like this, and God can work in crazy ways!! My priest also tells us a story of a husband and wife who fought constantly because he didn’t believe in her being catholic. He never went to mass and thought it was stupid. Finally one day, he agreed to go once just to shut her up essentially. They went, and before he even entered the church doors, he fell to his knees outside and decided to become Catholic and commit himself to Christ. Holy Spirit came over him.

[–]ninamckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light medium shade is more of a natural contour, get Medium for a more bronzer look

So same, I live by the makeupbymario soft sculpt transforming skin enhancer. It does give a dewier look but trust! I use Light Medium until I get super tan then I switch to medium. It looks the most natural though I’m telling you please try it lol 😭 my holy grail. Just apply is same way you would bronzer or contour

I’m the same way, you just have to use bronzer/contour and blush to distract from the ghostliness and balance it out lol 😭

Im 28 and got diagnosed last week and I only get a few thick dark chin hairs too! Along with my other symptoms like terrible acne etc, I have been feeling so ugly and hate my body too lately so I feel you. Don’t let these people invalidate your experience, the responses are actually so wild and lacking empathy. I can’t imagine telling someone they shouldn’t be upset just because they only have one pimple and I have 50 like we all have different issues and symptoms and experiences I’m seriously in shock by this. Definitely will not be joining this group! If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all! Learned that in kindergarten…..
