What is it like dating when you don’t fit the normal beauty standards at all?

  3. I have never found it to be that big of a problem. But then I also don’t take rejection personally and do not want to date people who are not attracted to me just because I am attracted to them. My last few partners were met through WoW and we were friends and usually guildmates before growing closer and eventually into a relationship.

  5. I don’t find it challenging at all. I do accept that people have a type and they have that right. As do I. As a woman who is “heavy set” I don’t take offense to someone saying they don’t find that attractive. Because there are a lot of them that do. Real adults understand that beauty doesn’t look the same to everyone. Be consistent in what you want and be honest with pictures etc.

  7. I’m average looking at best, but I’ve never had trouble dating. I am cool as shit to hang out with and people enjoy my company, so boom, dating.

  8. I have never thought of myself as beautiful by conventional/societal standards. I was quite the tomboy as a kid, never wanted to paint my nails or get my ears pierced – in fact to this day I’ve still never had them pierced. Beauty was never my focus and I preferred putting my attention and energy elsewhere.

    Now, I am finally at a place in life where I feel confident in who I am, inside and out, and I know that confidence shines through as beautiful.

  9. I mean, you`re goth like me?

    You might be told, that you`re not feminine enough and dumped for a woman with basic beauty standards. Or you get nagged for having pale skin and not wearing pink and flowery. I mean, the tanned and pink is boring.

  11. My partner is very conventionally attractive, I am not. I’m not insecure about my looks anymore, but it stings when people automatically assume we’re just friends or he’s settled for me.

  12. I’m fat and homely, but have never had a problem finding conventionally attractive dates
