How feasible is it to improve your looks?

[EternalBachelor]

While demonstrating confidence/personality/sexuality and making a connection can occasionally result in success with girls better looking than me I feel that my average looks create a glass ceiling in terms of the girls I can attract.

I am not overweight and take care when it comes to my appearance/diet and engage in modest amounts of exercise and I am lightly muscled and toned. But as a result of anorexia as a teenager I am very boyish looking and that only seems to attract average looking or cute girls. The pretty and beautiful girls seem to want more manly looking guys.

I do not know whether having a chin implant or jaw augmentation would help

I have seem some suggestion that testosterone can still influence a face after puberty (e.g. the transsexuals) so maybe increasing testosterone by lifting heavy weights and eating more red meat could help but maybe it only works if you are on steroids or heavy HRT

Anyone else facing these issues?

I dont know your height and weight, but lifting weights nowadays is almost a must for countless reasons.

I had a problem similar to you, my light natural frame always made me look weak and unmanly, then I started lifting weights and eat accordingly and it all changed.

The same moment you weight like the average man with a better composition not more handicaps for you, the moment you are bigger than the average man and it can be notice through your clothes you will notice the world around you to change, no sh1t.

The number of men that p1sses you off or try to show off at your expence disappear while the women althout your face wont change too much will grant you the benefit of considering you a man with all the benefits that come.

It seems to me that girls simly dont register certain men as men, as if a skinny or an unattractive guy dont have dignity, sensitivity or even libido, it seems sex is a privilege only for men in the upper levels.

Anyway hit the gym, improve your diet and if you have the chance to improve your social position do it as well even if it require works, physical shape and social position influence each other...have you ever seen a good looking cool guy cleaning toilets at mc donald?

Unless the loser genetic exists only in ugly people, it must mean something.

You guys and getting ripped lol. Just get in shape, I never wanted to be a big ripped muscle head with swining ape arms I like to be lean and musclar, but not huge like the rock or vin diesal, **** looks weird

This is an area where I believe guys have it much better than women ... one of the few situations actually where that's true.

A guy with an ugly face, or a none perfect body can make up for it with good fashion sense/style (well dressed, well groomed, style, personality, etc.)

Where an ugly looking chick, with an ugly body (not just talking about being fat, but having broad shoulders, being too thin, etc.), no matter how well she's dressed, manicured, and personable, she will have serious limitations on the value of guy she can attract.

it IS possible to build up your jaw muscles. Neck too, the latter a LOT more, of course. there's a sort of catcher's mask upon which you hang weights, and then suspend them to each side, front and rear to work your neck. start small and go up slowly, keeping careful notes, or you will be VERY sorry!

for the jaw muscles, wrap a clean towel around the lat pull down t bar, grip the towel in your teeth and pull down and to the side, either side, with each side of your mouth. If your machine's lowest weight is too much for you, get a girl's dumbell, sack of beans, or whatever and toss a rope over a bar, tree limb,etc.

Sure so we will add a trip to the dentist after his transformation

You need to work on your body. Get fvcking ripped and start feeling that testosterone pump through your body. Now THAT will bring you true happiness.

You know, I am all in favor of keeping fit, and I have seen a number of claims about lifting weights here over the years. But this is the first time I've seen any one say that it will bring you "true happiness".

I don't like the idea of plastic surgery, implants, or the like either. Regarding the feasibility of improving your looks, I really think it is on a case by case basis. It may be easy for some, harder for others, or practically impossible. There is no one size fits all. It all depends on the individual.

This forum is more about self improvement / finding happiness within than about picking up on chicks imo.

Basically any motivation/inspiration you need to improve yourself and live a fuller/happier life you can find from the truth that is posted here.

Ok, I'm with Ruler on this one: totally against implants and the like. No testosterone injections or any of that, the only thing I can somewhat understand are HGH injections or something like that, and not at your age either (you're too young and produce enough of it naturally). You can have a more defined jaw by building more muscle around it. How you do that is by chewing gum all the time and by chewing hard and by biting down hard on food in general. Get more testosterone by working out more. Strive to get stronger and more muscular. Beards make you look older as well so try and style your beard into something cool if possible too (assuming you have one).

You guys and getting ripped lol. Just get in shape, I never wanted to be a big ripped muscle head with swining ape arms I like to be lean and musclar, but not huge like the rock or vin diesal, **** looks weird

Those guys are jacked, not ripped. That lean, muscular look you're talking about is considered as ripped. Swole is if you are like a powerlifter and don't care as much about looks like a bodybuilder, but more so your strength (at least, that's my understanding of it).

Bro, you don't have to worry about looking like either of those unless you plan on taking drugs like they do.

improving your looks is easier than improving your game, there's an extremely long list of things you can do

1. change your hairstyle(on your head)
2. change your facial hair(beard, mustache, sideburns, etc.)
3. if you have acne or scars or other skin/facial blemishes then you can good methods to deal with them and buy cosmetics
4. you could always change your wardrobe to be more stylish if the way you dress is lacking
5. if you're fat, lose weight. if you're too skinny, gain weight. if you wanna be muscular, work out.

those are just the first few things that come to mind, if all those things are on point you should be rather good looking. maybe work on your tan(if you're the type of race that can tan) and make sure you have nice teeth(white and straight, hopefully nothing missing)

I know one guy who got "cheek bone implants" i didn't even know there was such a thing.

He looks like a male model but i'm not sure how much of him is real

he's also happily gay so....

the moral of the story? Work with what youve got

 

[mangotot]

What is wrong with chin implants and other procedures? If its going to help the guy surely its a good thing. Whenever I go to upmarket places rarely do I see ugly people. I am sure lot of these people have had work done.

Females have an advantage in that they are allowed to wear "war paint" ( makeup. Makeup properly applied can be a huge advantage. So some normal looking babes with the right makeup look "hot", and personally I think most "hot" babes are women who are made up, with fashion sense and most have good bodies.

So a woman has an advantage here. As long as she doesn't have a weird body shape if she gets it in shape she can don the war paint, wear the right gear and have guys hopping for her golden triangle.

The self improvement aspects are definitely the best parts of this site. But many posters sell lifting weights as some sort of "magic pill" with women. And I'm sure for some guys it is. But I also know that there are a LOT of factors involved when it comes to attracting women, and I do know that weights aren't going to fix every problem out there. Most guys will benefit to some degree (with regard to women), but that degree will probably vary with the person.

They used to say around here "95% of the problems here can be fixed by spinning plates". I always thought that was a little silly, too, but at least they qualified it by saying 95%. It seems kind of funny to tell a guy who can't get ONE date to go build a harem, lol, but I guess the mindset could help.

But this is the first time I've seen anyone claim that lifting weights will bring you "true happiness". That really seems to be overselling it. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for building muscle and reducing body fat. But I don't think guys should go into it with unrealistic expectations. Although the more gullible may benefit from the placebo effect, at least for a little while.
