I'm not trying to create a pity party thread but I really think I am almost beyond help in this situation. I'm 22 years old, have NO experience with women and while I know the whole appearence isn't as important to girls as it is to guys theory...I am UGLY. I don't even know how I would start to reform myself appearence/confidence wise. Here are my main image problems...
Scrawny - First strike against me is I have Type 1 Diabetes and and Hyperthyroidism. I don't really feel like going into too much detail about either, but they run in my family and if you want to read up about it just check wikipedia. Here is the problem with both these, health wise I have them both under control but I literally CANNOT put on weight with both of these. I am about 135 lbs. I still work out a few times a week but I rarely see results or major gains, probably because I can't take certain supplements. When I was in highschool I attempted taking a muscle builder called NOXPLODE after a workout and it almost killed me...this is before I was diagnosed so I did not know anything was wrong with me. I can keep trying the old fashion way to get buff but its hard with no worthwhile gains ever coming. I also really don't want to put my health at risk, which I know is a double edged sword but I assume if a girl had to chose she would probably want a healthy guy over a muscular guy. But being skinny cannot be a total turnoff for some because I see scrawny pretty boys and emo/punker guys and they are always with gorgeous women.
Extremely Hairy - Being of Greek and Iranian decent I got the gene to be a bear in a humans body. My back, chest, legs and arms most likely more hairy then any man here. While in some countries this is normal, but in America women seem to hate men with alot of body hair. I have really thought about waxing/shaving my back, chest and arms to get rid of it, but I would have to keep up on this at the rate my hair grows.
Horrid Teeth - I needed braces...my parents couldnt afford them, I needed regular dentist appointments...my parents couldnt afford them. My teeth are a wreck, I'm looking into Veneers but I probably can't afford them.
Acne - I have read the big post on here about it and have recently started the regimen with all the supplements I can take, not too much has improved yet but it has only been 2 weeks.
Height - I'm short, only 5'5"...being this height and skinny I look like a 13 year old boy.
Most of my low self esteem derives from my appearence, ever since middle school when I started getting negative feedback about my looks I have been like this. I just don't know where to begin to change my image (or if it can even be done). Usually alot of people here have some positives and decent traits they can bring out to cover their flaws...its hard when you are made up of all flaws. I Have read alot of posts here (including the bible) but I just can't seem to do much or apply the knowledge. Any help or comments at all would be GREATLY appreciated.
