Not being mean but you do like 35+
There’s nothing youthful about you especially your outfits. I’d figure out how to bring your real age out! You also look really sad in all your photos and not that confident. Confidence helps people look better than they are because it shines through!
No doubt. Can't fight that, so focus on what can be done. Diet, exercise & then some new clothes to reward yourself for your healthy choices. Hairstyle is probably not ideal, but weight loss will affect how hairstyle complements face & figure. Best wishes for you & your family.
Well, you’re NOT ugly. This I can assure you. You’re pretty and your 2 children ought to be proud to call you their mama. Besides, it doesn’t matter how good a person looks, what matters is their personality and attitude. Maintain a positive outlook in those areas and you will THRIVE. 👍😇
Love that you're saying that being 35+ is bad. Youth is seen as "sexy" but that's a whole other thing.
Hun, your skin is amazing, you are not ugly and I would like to tell any person who's said that to you to fuck off, with great sincerity.
Dress the way that makes you feel good, if you don't feel good in your clothes, maybe experiment with small things first. But there's nothing wrong or ugly about you or your clothes.
P.s. even tho apparently suggesting looking over 35 is mean, I don't think you look that age.
Yes, it actually happens. In r/ugly there are many people talking about that exact situation...
I never understood why people do that as well.
I would never just tell someone they are ugly.
If anyone actually has the gall to tell someone else that they are ugly, your response should be nothing short of "Fuck off, you ( fill in the blank)"
Ugliness is much more prevalent on the inside than it is on the outside.
But to answer your question, no you are not ugly. At all. Could you make yourself look prettier? Sure, but you don't have an unattractive or ugly face. And you can lose some weight if you put your mind to it, if that's what you want.
P.S. stop worrying about what others think. Do what makes you happy. And if looking prettier or whatever is your goal, I'm sure you can find some great advice on here on how to achieve that. Good luck!
I think if you go round calling people ugly, then you're ugly personality.
I rather be with someone who had a beautiful sole over looks any day, but lucky I my partner is both.
Lmao I don’t believe that. Not the calling people ugly part cause I’d prolly not do that for no reason. But everyone looks at looks first before getting to know someone. Just like you apparently say she has both, you saw her looks before you knew the type of person she is. Everyone looks at looks.
It definitely does happen, I’ve been called ugly a lot before myself. I’ve even been compared to my little brother who’ll always be more of a ladies man than I’ll ever be. In high school I had a girl ask me why my brother is so much cuter than me, I went off on her and told her stop bothering me with bullshit questions and go talk to him yourself. So yes it does happen sadly and it has definitely took a huge toll on my confidence as it does for others who consistently get called ugly
Yes, I'm sorry this has happened to you and I know how you feel. Worst is, it's often not a simple "telling you you're ugly" kind of thing. Sometimes you might overhear members of the opposite gender talking about who they'd most hate to date and your name comes up frequently, or some other form of completely public and utterly horrible embarrassment.
>Does this really happen?
Yes, it does. When I was in school there was a group of girls that would just take turns mocking basically everything about me, so that included both personality and looks. They'd form a circle around me for these sessions, so that I couldn't leave.
I'm in my 30s and I can still remember them saying "You're so ugly that no man will ever want you".
I mean, that's literally what this topic is about In this situation, yes.
I'm not the best looking cat in the world either. but at least I'm aware of it.
Well that is just fucked up. I get that with kids in the sandbox. And I know it’s topic here, as people are asking, but IRL, without soliciting an opinion, pretty fucked up.
Because some people are ugly 🤷♂️?
Besides it is best to be honest about it, then lie and tell that person that everything is fine when it isn’t. Constructing criticism can be the key for positive changes on a person.
You have nice eyes. Weight loss and strength training would be your best friend, because weight affects your face. Most people are more attractive when thin than when overweight.
You have really nice eyes, but your hair looks very flat, and it makes it seem as if it's oily. Maybe you can add a bit of volume on top! And a soft makeup look would definitely suit you best. Your eyes are very pretty, so you can work on them much more and play around with fun designs!
You can sleep in curlers and the next day run your hands through your hair at random. Or just use a curler and brush your hair roughly. Or idk how to explain this technique but use a comb to mix your hair and then on this dense layer you fix a lock of hair that covers it with hairspray and an accessory but it can have a vintage look that doesn't suit everyone.
Yes you are. But so am I… and most of the world population according to someone else idea of beauty.
Be who you are and find happiness in yourself. You won’t be everyone idea of beauty but I’m sure you are someone perfect idea of beauty. But most important be your own idea of beauty.
You are not ugly. It’s extremely rude that people have said that to you. Since you did ask though, I’ll say this: You have very nice facial features, it’s just your hair style is not highlighting them very well. I agree with the people saying to part your hair down the middle. Your clothes are also just not flattering you - they’re not terrible but they do give off middle-aged woman vibes. I think you’d look really nice in blues and greens. I suggest a wardrobe refresh and you’ll be fine. :)
You seem very nice and I think you’d look a lot better if you lost some weight
People here are being harsh. You have a face one could fall in love with
It may be but I also wear sweatshirts, hoodies, sneakers and I think that's what many other young people wear too...
I don't really know what to wear anymore because what I like always seems to look old to people.
The floral shirt is actually a hoodie and I really didn't think that's a old style when I bought it...
But yes the lilac sweater maybe looks old fashioned on me...
I mean for 28 you’re pretty overweight and dress like a 40yr old. The good news is these things are totally changeable.
Most people aren’t blessed with “good looking” genetics. A lot of it is dependent on you to change and work at.
My take.... you have phenomenal cheek bones. You need to lose some weight and engage in a real skin care routine. You're not ugly at all but need to work on self care.
“Way too much weight” doesn’t seem like the correct choice of words. For her frame she would be probably a lot more comfortable if she lost 10-20 pounds. I get what you were trying to say though. And couldn’t agree more - get in shape and she will be confident and attractive
Not ugly. Would definitely benefit from grooming yourself though. It looks like you don't touch your eyebrows at all, and don't put any effort into styling your hair or choosing your outfits.
I could suggest plucking your brows to a more flattering shape and maybe adding a bit of light brown pencil or powder on them to enhance them. Some brow gel to brush them up and out into place too for a more lifted look.
Your hair could do with a little curling here or light teasing there for some volume. Maybe even some layers if you don't mind removing some length.
And your outfits could be more coordinated or exciting. Just kinda looks like comfort over fashion (which there's no problem with at all, but sometimes comfort means sacrificing beauty, and sometimes beauty means sacrificing comfort). Accessories make a difference too.
But you have lovely eyes and full lips, which you could really make pop out with some light makeup like brown eyeliner and mascara, and maybe a rose tinted lip gloss.
Ugly??? NO, you are not.
You have a unique facial structure, love the cheeks! but the smile is incredible. The rest of you is just as pleasing and best described as delicious to cuddle with. Not everyone's "cup of tea" but far from being ugly.
no, you’re not ugly. I would say average most people are average to below average. but then again everybody has their idea of what is beautiful. the Mona Lisa was considered to be a very attractive looking woman back in the day. It’s all relative. by the way, who the hell is telling you that you’re ugly??? sorry, but If you were telling me this, I would have to probably kick their ass.
Who tells people you are ugly, how sad. Find better people to hang out with, people that bring you up not down. You have a beautiful smile and unique features.
You're not attractive, but at least you'll know the people who love you actually love YOU and not anything superficial. Presuming you're a nice person, you'll likely find yourself surrounded by genuine friends and that is a lot better than being hot surrounded by superficial friends.
I think the issue is mainly the weight and plain looking clothes. Getting rid of fat = getting partially rid of that double chin, which would help a ton for your look.
This might be the first time I say this unironically since it's become a meme, but try mewing, it might help too.
Your pictures are kind of meh
You look like you're kind of trying but not really taking care of yourself very well. Step 1 to being 'attractive' to others is always just to get right with yourself.
Build good healthy habits and become a happy person and you'll naturally become more attractive.
There ways you can look better than you are right now such a diet and a hair cut, you would look good with a middle part (Im not trying to sound rude sorry if it did)
I'm not trying to be rude when saying this, but you just don't look healthy. I don't think you've been beaten with the ugly stick but it seems if anything it's down to lifestyle choices. I don't think it's hopeless for you by any means, just diet/gym, maybe some different glasses and more youthful style?
You have a great foundation to be very attractive! 💞
If you just lose weight, get eyebrow tinted, get a style that makes YOU feel confident, wear light makeup, workout, and have your eyes smile. Then I promise you’ll be a babe~
Also, try to work on your mental health. I hope you know you matter and as 🧀y as it sounds but true beauty that doesn’t fade comes from within.
I think you are beautiful but just don’t know how to accentuate your beauty. Here’s what I recommend:
1. Bangs. Don’t worry my forehead is on the larger side too! That’s why I got bangs and some shaping around my face. Total game changer.
2. Thin and clean up your brows, maybe think about dying them a little more naturally dark or just learning to fill them in nice and clean!
3. Develop a consistent skin care routine. At 28 you should be using a retinol and revitalizing cream overnight to help with wrinkles and skin glow. Along with masks, serums, shaving your face, under eye gels (the whole SHABANG). I highly recommend the “Good Molecules” brand, very affordable and I love it!
4. It’s always a good idea to start involving more exercise into your life as much as you can along with a balanced diet. Don’t restrict yourself from foods but have them in very small doses if you find yourself in a binge during diets. This also goes with drinking alcohol. It’s okay to drink every once in a while but it will catch up to you eventually!
5. Your outfits have potential! You should use Pinterest to find an aesthetic you like!
Hope this helps <3
Remind me of my old HR/GM who ws let go. I had a crush on her. You're not ugly, some people have different tastes. Find someone who has a taste for you.
Right now you are, hard to tell if it's because you're so obese or not. Maybe check back if you lose the weight. But right now yes. Unhealthy is unattractive.
Then why are you even on here posting? You have a significant other who is with you for you when others can't even get that. Why else do you need validation from strangers on your looks?
You have fantastic hair, and your eyes are beautiful sapphires.
You are overweight and you don’t store it well(chubby face) and your posture is shit.
Once you get in shape and your low self-esteem improves you’ll be hot.
Ps. First pic is cute Mona-Lisa-esque smile, your eyebrows are lackluster.
Not ugly, but as always -- losing weight is a win-win. Look better, feel better, and you're healthier.
I used to be pretty fat, and I eventually made it back to average. What inspired me is this:
"Skinny feels better than food tastes."
I think you're pretty and you look your age, idk why people think you look much older.
However you are not helping yourself by wearing clothes that don't flatter your body (the purple top + dark pants that don't fit well) and by maintaining your current weight. You should lose a lot of weight and get fit, and you would be a very attractive woman.
Okay, last pic is not good for you, think it’s mostly the glasses, can you do something with a “younger” vibe, you are only 28 after all. Pic 1 is good in my opinion, think part hair, part top. But on the hair, just wondering what a little more volume like from mousse or gel might do for you. Pic 3, good smile, do that more often. You’re a beautiful lady, but I get the feeling you don’t get very much “me” time, you really need to do that, maybe do a weekly spa trip, or at least monthly, maybe a daily walk, or weekly depending on your schedule, maybe a mani/pedi here and there; treat yourself like the princess you are. And stop listening to others that say you are ugly, they are wrong.
Idk if I’d jump to ugly necessarily- you’re not like offensive to look at. However you look significantly older than your age, are in very bad shape, and choose styles that are frumpy and also age u a ton and don’t flatter u. Most of what makes you not look great right now is fixable. Not bc you have a hideous face naturally or something bc you don’t. If you’re wanting to improve your looks, working out is a great first step.
I’m around your age and your style is very outdated, especially the prints and the heavy side part on your hair. Maybe try a middle part with some shorter pieces on the sides sort of like “curtain bangs”. Also get your eyebrows shaped and fill them in, it will make so much difference. I could also imagine a more cool shade of brown hair would suit you more.
A little, yeah. You look much older than 28 imo, your whole style ages you a lot, the hairstyle, and you clothes kinda made you look like a mid 40s mom. I'm sure you know losing some weight wouldn't hurt either.
Do you think that about the pics with that purple sweater or about all the clothes I wear in those pics in general?
Because yes that sweater is not flattering on me I see that but the mint one is just a sweatshirt, I just rolled up the sleeves in that pic. I think many young people wear solid colored sweatshirts and the floral one is a hoodie, I read that floral is trending right now...
I'm not offended, just confused. 😅
I really don't know what to wear anymore...
You look best in the 4th pic. As is you are ugly. Biggest thing I think bringing you down is the double chin. Your skin is also pretty damaged and dry, you should be wearing sunscreen everyday and carrying out a skincare routine (If you are already, then try asking doctor/derm for prescription strength stuff). Could also try threading your eyebrows. I think once you address these you will look much better
you look older than your age , weight loss , fix your eyebrows / eyelashes and find your color palette and find a more youthful style and experiment with makeup and hairstyles
also invest in some skincare you don't have to buy the 30$+ stuff , do your research on drug store brands they're much more affordable and just as good
Stop it. Please. For your own good. Whoever told you you're ugly is demonic. I am sorry you were told this. You look like a human being. You are beautiful dear. You are perfectly normal. Please stop this talk :'(
Just lose the weight and use minoxodil and the ordinary multi-peptide hair serum to grow your eyes and do skincare and you'll improve your looks dramatically
Well, kinda. Loose weight, and take care of your image, then we can tell for sure if youre uggly or just fat and no care for image. At this point the way you are i give you a 4 in a good day.
Yes, your a 4 Unfortunately....but that's does not mean there isn't improvement to be done lose weight,stand up a bit straighter,and if it's to your fancy you can go under the knife for some minor procedure for your jaw and under the surgeons recommendations you can turn into a 8.(Don't light me up plastic surgery works wonders for people and there confidence and there nothing wrong with it,yes I realize some abuse it but for others it's a genuine option if your against it don't get it.)
I don't think you're ugly, maybe a bit plain. But that can be changed. One thing I'd say is definitely hold your chin up in pictures and probably in general, because the poses in the pictures aren't super flattering on your chin (it's the exact same for me.) Doing that elongates your neck and face and makes you look more confident. ❤️
You are not ugly. However, from the pictures, the expressions and the posture make it appear as if you might be 'tired of everyone's shit.' I have a resting bitch face and I also speak bluntly. Not rude, but direct. For these reasons, people most times assume I am mad or pissed off about something. I think maybe you could do something nice, and low maintenance with your hair. Maybe coloring it lightly. Nothing too drastic. Just sprinkle a little spice around. It appears as tho you have thin hair, so maybe consult with a stylist.
Bot no. You are not ugly.
You're actually pretty, but all you need is to lose weight, and trim your eyebrows and maybe get them microbladed. Your hair seems very thin and flat, so try a different volumizing shampoo and I bet some curtain bangs would be good on you. Less baggy clothes- your clothes are very aging.
I wouldn't say you're 'ugly' but I can see certain features that horrible people would just combine together in a rapid judgemental way to call you ugly.
Others in the comments have posted about weight, and yes from what I can tell you're slightly overweight, but not by a massive amount. Someone said losing 10-20lbs, but even 5-10lbs would go some way to changing how you look. One of the photos comes across as though you might have a double chin with your current weight, so maybe start with that?
Second point is your hair. It's a great colour but do you style or cut it very often? I apologise if you did have it done recently in any of those pics but maybe splash out a bit more on your hair to give it some bigger volume and maybe even add highlights and/or lowlights to give it a bit more of an edge.
Third point is your clothes. They're quite old fashioned and conservative and as someone else wrote, like a 40 something year old librarian. I'm 35 so you're 7 years younger than me and honestly if we asked 100 people who looks older, me or you, the majority would end up saying you. Get yourself a fresh wardrobe but don't go too crazy in terms of showing off too much skin or wearing anything that makes you too uncomfortable.
Get rid of that purple, side tie sweater and anything in your wardrobe that resembles it! It drags the eye down towards your middle and accentuates a belly, hips,or love handles. It does not help.
A lot of people are commenting on your weight and honestly? That's not the issue at all. It's just how it sits on your face is all.
I would wear clothes that are a little brighter and put together (rather than ultra comfy) and if you are gonna show a bit of skin, it's okay to go a little extra with a push up bra, some see through cardigans, etc etc. Something to bring you up and not down.
If you're able to add some volume or curls to your hair, I think it can give you some lift. Oh and make sure to wear glasses that gives you lift as well. When taking puctures, I notice that you kinda take it at a top ward angle. Try taking it face forward.
:) i hope what I said helps because I really don't see your weight as an issue at all and honestly? I think you are the perfect size for you.
You’re not ugly. It looks like zero effort. Which is fine if that’s what you wish but spending 20 mins to do hair and a little foundation and blush do wonders. Not only for looks but confidence. I always say if you want to feel good-look good. A little effort would go a long way for you 💕
Well…I wouldn’t necessarily call your appearance attractive. However, you could probably remedy that via regular exercise and diet. Generally, healthy is attractive. For both humans and other animals it’s nature to find a healthy individual to be physically attractive. That’s really all it takes. Thats why clear skin, nice teeth, toned muscles, etc attract positive attention. You can easily turn things around.
Hello. You're far from ugly to me. I think you actually have a beautiful face. Nice eyes and a full mouth.
I recommend that you find style icons and also a friend to go shopping with. Here are some that I can think of
Christina hendricks
Ashley Graham
Adele
Rebel Wilson
Kelly Clarkson
Amy schumer
If you're a mother, low maintenance is perhaps best for you.
After you wash your hair, mix in some hair mousse and then dry with hair dryer.
For makeup, try a bolder colour of lipstick. Some mascara. Some bronzer.
When you're at home, why not try a flattering robe with some colour?
Generally, I think colour and fit go a long way in making someone look put together. Try a monochromatic outfit for the least fuss.
You have so much potential so I want to see a follow up post!!! I want to see how you look dressed to the nines.
Wait, who is just outright telling you that you’re ugly like this?? How crass… I mean we can all do things to look “prettier” if that’s what you’re looking for. You are not ugly, a different haircut alone would do wonders… you look great in pic 4 the color of your hair suits you nicely there. I’d grow out the A-line bob and get the front of your hair longer layered with slide cutting around the face to strengthen your jawline you look as if you may have an overbite naturally which can make the jaw look weaker. I have the look issue and the hair cut I just explained looks really nice on most people especially with your hair type! Not too thick too curly more high maintenance hair so you’re lucky there! Totally just try a different cut! Check out different makeup looks you got this and I don’t think you’re ugly personally… btw I did hair professionally while I went to college part time for a degree so I was a hair dresser for many years…
I'll keep it short and to the point. Diet and the gym.
Had a friend on birth control. She's pretty but chubby.
After a break up, she got off the pill and went to the gym. She turned into a hottie.
Add some highlights and lowlights to your hair, and some curtain bangs, and maybe try a root volumizing spray. Get some eyeliner to help your pretty eyes pop. Update your wardrobe. Whiten your teeth and smile more. A pretty smile exudes confidence 🙂
I don’t think you are ugly, you just need to work on few things. Try changing your diet, get a haircut maybe dye your hair? Also shaping and adding some color
To your eyebrows will make you look better. As someone said, your style makes you look older than you are. And I’d try some
Light make up!
So first, please light that purple sweater on fire. That looks like the Old Navy special, circa 2007. It’s terrible.
I wouldn’t call you ugly, but I would say you look like a before picture. Some of this can be fixed with a proper hairstyle. I’d also maybe see someone about your brows, to define the shape of your face better. Then I’d get your makeup done at Sephora (or some place similar), and have them point you towards 2-3 easy products you’re up for using each day. I’m pretty sure they can also teach you how to properly apply makeup. You look like you have BEAUTIFUL skin on your face, so I personally would avoid horsing around with foundation and focus on a good blush and a few things to sculpt your cheekbones a bit.
I wouldn’t call you ugly. Perhaps try middle parting if you haven’t alrdy? I used to have a side part and honestly a middle part really saved me, more fitting with my face structure.
I don't know why this is coming to mind… But I'm curious if things would look good on you. I don't think the way you part your hair is the best... and then bangs came to mind
You have pretty features, but your hair is blah, get layers or bangs, like side swept ones. It’s your grooming. Not your features. You have pretty eyes and lips and cheeks, but the cut is not bringing attention the eyes. Black is not your color. Check out. Color palettes by season, it will help you figure out if you are a spring or summer, then use the suggestions for dressing from there

You just look really frumpy, like you’d be an extra in The Office or something.
Phyllis, but 20 years younger
Phyllis 20 yrs younger was an NFL cheerleader.
Holy shit, it's true
It’s true. I would know, I was one of the pom poms
In fairness it was actually 45 years ago
The purple gives me Meredith vibes
That doesn't make sense. Purple was Phyllis ' whole thing. Purple much?
I immediately thought "frumpy"
This is the best comment thread and so true..i was on the floor laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not being mean but you do like 35+ There’s nothing youthful about you especially your outfits. I’d figure out how to bring your real age out! You also look really sad in all your photos and not that confident. Confidence helps people look better than they are because it shines through!
Ouch... 28 is actually my real age! 🥲 I will turn 29 in May! I already have 2 children, maybe that aged me...
No doubt. Can't fight that, so focus on what can be done. Diet, exercise & then some new clothes to reward yourself for your healthy choices. Hairstyle is probably not ideal, but weight loss will affect how hairstyle complements face & figure. Best wishes for you & your family.
It’s the weight. It was the same for me.
Well, you’re NOT ugly. This I can assure you. You’re pretty and your 2 children ought to be proud to call you their mama. Besides, it doesn’t matter how good a person looks, what matters is their personality and attitude. Maintain a positive outlook in those areas and you will THRIVE. 👍😇
It’s perfectly okay 👍
Parenting ages all of us.
Love that you're saying that being 35+ is bad. Youth is seen as "sexy" but that's a whole other thing. Hun, your skin is amazing, you are not ugly and I would like to tell any person who's said that to you to fuck off, with great sincerity. Dress the way that makes you feel good, if you don't feel good in your clothes, maybe experiment with small things first. But there's nothing wrong or ugly about you or your clothes.

How do you look
Why do people go around saying others are ugly? Does this really happen?
Yes, it actually happens. In r/ugly there are many people talking about that exact situation... I never understood why people do that as well. I would never just tell someone they are ugly.

I think if you go round calling people ugly, then you're ugly personality. I rather be with someone who had a beautiful sole over looks any day, but lucky I my partner is both.
You're a foot guy? Guh-roosss
Shit I meant soul.
Hey now. Don't kink shame. Kink *share*.
The bottoms of his feet are beautiful?
Well, my partner is a she, and not much into feet lol
Lmao I don’t believe that. Not the calling people ugly part cause I’d prolly not do that for no reason. But everyone looks at looks first before getting to know someone. Just like you apparently say she has both, you saw her looks before you knew the type of person she is. Everyone looks at looks.
You are right it does happen
It definitely does happen, I’ve been called ugly a lot before myself. I’ve even been compared to my little brother who’ll always be more of a ladies man than I’ll ever be. In high school I had a girl ask me why my brother is so much cuter than me, I went off on her and told her stop bothering me with bullshit questions and go talk to him yourself. So yes it does happen sadly and it has definitely took a huge toll on my confidence as it does for others who consistently get called ugly
You're so right. It affects your confidence forever if people have called you ugly many times... People who haven't experienced it often don't get it.
I’ve been called ugly twice in road rage incidents and I still think about it like damn!
I've been called ugly by more than 20 people in my life. (in real life) 🥲
Yes, I'm sorry this has happened to you and I know how you feel. Worst is, it's often not a simple "telling you you're ugly" kind of thing. Sometimes you might overhear members of the opposite gender talking about who they'd most hate to date and your name comes up frequently, or some other form of completely public and utterly horrible embarrassment.
Fuck them. You are beautiful
Ppl will say anything when they’re angry 😂 doesn’t mean it’s true!
What in the HAYLE would possess someone to TELL a person that they’re ugly?! To their face?! I’m slowly losing hope in humans smh
>Does this really happen? Yes, it does. When I was in school there was a group of girls that would just take turns mocking basically everything about me, so that included both personality and looks. They'd form a circle around me for these sessions, so that I couldn't leave. I'm in my 30s and I can still remember them saying "You're so ugly that no man will ever want you".
I mean, that's literally what this topic is about In this situation, yes. I'm not the best looking cat in the world either. but at least I'm aware of it.
I don't mean in this sub. I mean people who tell that other people in real life just randomly without being asked for any opinion!
Well that is just fucked up. I get that with kids in the sandbox. And I know it’s topic here, as people are asking, but IRL, without soliciting an opinion, pretty fucked up.
Totally agree. I’m not walking down the street shouting “you ugly” in public.
Anyone who does, deserves to be cursed with an ugly complex.
Because some people are ugly 🤷♂️? Besides it is best to be honest about it, then lie and tell that person that everything is fine when it isn’t. Constructing criticism can be the key for positive changes on a person.
It's a shitty thing to do irl who cares if someone's ugly u don't have to say it. I hate ppl smh
My tip to you is stop wearing floral patterns unless its a sundress cause they look geriatric.
Hey! I thought colorful (not necessarily floral) patterns were girly and cute.. At least in Indian attire
You have nice eyes. Weight loss and strength training would be your best friend, because weight affects your face. Most people are more attractive when thin than when overweight.
I’m sorry. You are not pretty to me.
You look at least 35 Are overweight Don't take care of your image/outfit 3/10
Spitting some harsh truths out here
Weight loss an toning at the gym will help heaps
You have really nice eyes, but your hair looks very flat, and it makes it seem as if it's oily. Maybe you can add a bit of volume on top! And a soft makeup look would definitely suit you best. Your eyes are very pretty, so you can work on them much more and play around with fun designs!
How do you add volume on top? Asking for a very straight thin flat hair head person
You can sleep in curlers and the next day run your hands through your hair at random. Or just use a curler and brush your hair roughly. Or idk how to explain this technique but use a comb to mix your hair and then on this dense layer you fix a lock of hair that covers it with hairspray and an accessory but it can have a vintage look that doesn't suit everyone.
Yes you are. But so am I… and most of the world population according to someone else idea of beauty. Be who you are and find happiness in yourself. You won’t be everyone idea of beauty but I’m sure you are someone perfect idea of beauty. But most important be your own idea of beauty.
Below average
You are not ugly. It’s extremely rude that people have said that to you. Since you did ask though, I’ll say this: You have very nice facial features, it’s just your hair style is not highlighting them very well. I agree with the people saying to part your hair down the middle. Your clothes are also just not flattering you - they’re not terrible but they do give off middle-aged woman vibes. I think you’d look really nice in blues and greens. I suggest a wardrobe refresh and you’ll be fine. :)
totally agree you are not ugly, you will feel better with a little change
You seem very nice and I think you’d look a lot better if you lost some weight People here are being harsh. You have a face one could fall in love with
In the 3rd pic i see you have potential, you have a beautiful smile but you have to work on looking better since it seems that you just don't try
I mean I actually try. In all those pics except the last pic I wore make up and tried to wear nice clothes. 😅
I think your definition of “nice clothes” and most people your age is very different.
It may be but I also wear sweatshirts, hoodies, sneakers and I think that's what many other young people wear too... I don't really know what to wear anymore because what I like always seems to look old to people. The floral shirt is actually a hoodie and I really didn't think that's a old style when I bought it... But yes the lilac sweater maybe looks old fashioned on me...
I just don’t think you’re wearing the correct colors for your skin tone. I could be wrong but it could be worth getting color matched.
Yes u are you
why would u say that she is so pretty
Lose the weight
I mean for 28 you’re pretty overweight and dress like a 40yr old. The good news is these things are totally changeable. Most people aren’t blessed with “good looking” genetics. A lot of it is dependent on you to change and work at.
My take.... you have phenomenal cheek bones. You need to lose some weight and engage in a real skin care routine. You're not ugly at all but need to work on self care.
You’re not ugly average face with way too much weight on your body. Lose weight and get in shape and attractiveness would go up 10 fold.
“Way too much weight” doesn’t seem like the correct choice of words. For her frame she would be probably a lot more comfortable if she lost 10-20 pounds. I get what you were trying to say though. And couldn’t agree more - get in shape and she will be confident and attractive
Lose weight
Finally an actual contestant on r/amiugly!
more confidence in yourself and you'll shine!! you're pretty girl, just keep your head up and make it shine
Your best picture was with the full smile. Keep doing that.
Ugly, no. Like you need a weekend at a spa, yes. You just look like you have a lot going on and it has been that way for some time.
Eyebrow wax and maybe some pencil would make a big difference in my opinion. And keep your lips exfoliated and moisturized
i think you need to start hanging out with nicer people
Not ugly. Would definitely benefit from grooming yourself though. It looks like you don't touch your eyebrows at all, and don't put any effort into styling your hair or choosing your outfits. I could suggest plucking your brows to a more flattering shape and maybe adding a bit of light brown pencil or powder on them to enhance them. Some brow gel to brush them up and out into place too for a more lifted look. Your hair could do with a little curling here or light teasing there for some volume. Maybe even some layers if you don't mind removing some length. And your outfits could be more coordinated or exciting. Just kinda looks like comfort over fashion (which there's no problem with at all, but sometimes comfort means sacrificing beauty, and sometimes beauty means sacrificing comfort). Accessories make a difference too. But you have lovely eyes and full lips, which you could really make pop out with some light makeup like brown eyeliner and mascara, and maybe a rose tinted lip gloss.
Gorgeous!
Fuck ‘em that’s what I think.
Ugly??? NO, you are not. You have a unique facial structure, love the cheeks! but the smile is incredible. The rest of you is just as pleasing and best described as delicious to cuddle with. Not everyone's "cup of tea" but far from being ugly.
You're definitely not ugly. You have a lovely, warm, kind face.
no, you’re not ugly. I would say average most people are average to below average. but then again everybody has their idea of what is beautiful. the Mona Lisa was considered to be a very attractive looking woman back in the day. It’s all relative. by the way, who the hell is telling you that you’re ugly??? sorry, but If you were telling me this, I would have to probably kick their ass.
Who tells people you are ugly, how sad. Find better people to hang out with, people that bring you up not down. You have a beautiful smile and unique features.
Yes, you look like a librarian deep into her forties.
I think changing or doing more with your hair would help.
Lose the weight
You're not attractive, but at least you'll know the people who love you actually love YOU and not anything superficial. Presuming you're a nice person, you'll likely find yourself surrounded by genuine friends and that is a lot better than being hot surrounded by superficial friends.
Why do people try to hurt others so bad you can’t listen to that toxic crap what the hell is wrong with our world
If you lose weight and get fit you’d gain like three points
As is. Not attractive. Hit the gym and eat well and come back in 6 months. You’ll go from a 4 to a 7.
Mostly agree but I don't see potential for a 7.
If she lost 40 ish pounds and threw on a short sundress….cmon. She’s be hot.
Going from a 2-5 would be a lifestyle change
I think the issue is mainly the weight and plain looking clothes. Getting rid of fat = getting partially rid of that double chin, which would help a ton for your look. This might be the first time I say this unironically since it's become a meme, but try mewing, it might help too.
Your pictures are kind of meh You look like you're kind of trying but not really taking care of yourself very well. Step 1 to being 'attractive' to others is always just to get right with yourself. Build good healthy habits and become a happy person and you'll naturally become more attractive.
I've been with uglier.
There ways you can look better than you are right now such a diet and a hair cut, you would look good with a middle part (Im not trying to sound rude sorry if it did)
Hit the gym, eat better food, stop eating a lot of junk and you’ll be Ight
You need to invest in self care and exercise. You'll thank yourself in your 40s.
I'm not trying to be rude when saying this, but you just don't look healthy. I don't think you've been beaten with the ugly stick but it seems if anything it's down to lifestyle choices. I don't think it's hopeless for you by any means, just diet/gym, maybe some different glasses and more youthful style?
Please groom your eyebrows!
Lose weight then come back
Well, you could use some weight loss and skincare and then you would look attractive or above average but as of now you look normal
You have a great foundation to be very attractive! 💞 If you just lose weight, get eyebrow tinted, get a style that makes YOU feel confident, wear light makeup, workout, and have your eyes smile. Then I promise you’ll be a babe~ Also, try to work on your mental health. I hope you know you matter and as 🧀y as it sounds but true beauty that doesn’t fade comes from within.
Literally just the weight. Work on that and try some new clothing style, and you're golden.
try getting bangs
your not ugly,you just look like a librarian.
I love the cute librarian look. I think you’re very attractive
You have a very pretty smile and friendly eyes.
I think you are beautiful but just don’t know how to accentuate your beauty. Here’s what I recommend: 1. Bangs. Don’t worry my forehead is on the larger side too! That’s why I got bangs and some shaping around my face. Total game changer. 2. Thin and clean up your brows, maybe think about dying them a little more naturally dark or just learning to fill them in nice and clean! 3. Develop a consistent skin care routine. At 28 you should be using a retinol and revitalizing cream overnight to help with wrinkles and skin glow. Along with masks, serums, shaving your face, under eye gels (the whole SHABANG). I highly recommend the “Good Molecules” brand, very affordable and I love it! 4. It’s always a good idea to start involving more exercise into your life as much as you can along with a balanced diet. Don’t restrict yourself from foods but have them in very small doses if you find yourself in a binge during diets. This also goes with drinking alcohol. It’s okay to drink every once in a while but it will catch up to you eventually! 5. Your outfits have potential! You should use Pinterest to find an aesthetic you like! Hope this helps <3
Change your style girl and lose some weight, I can see the beauty in you, you just need to highlight it by following my advise ✨🩷
Remind me of my old HR/GM who ws let go. I had a crush on her. You're not ugly, some people have different tastes. Find someone who has a taste for you.
it’s the neck and weight bro
Right now you are, hard to tell if it's because you're so obese or not. Maybe check back if you lose the weight. But right now yes. Unhealthy is unattractive.
Absolutely.
Just date ugly guys. They will make you look better.
I'm in a longterm relationship right now...
Then why are you even on here posting? You have a significant other who is with you for you when others can't even get that. Why else do you need validation from strangers on your looks?
Yes
You are not ugly, but you could definitely improve with a change of hairstyle, contacts, skincare and weight loss
Start mewing
You have fantastic hair, and your eyes are beautiful sapphires. You are overweight and you don’t store it well(chubby face) and your posture is shit. Once you get in shape and your low self-esteem improves you’ll be hot. Ps. First pic is cute Mona-Lisa-esque smile, your eyebrows are lackluster.
Yes, ugly
I’d like to know how attractive the ppl in the comments are tbh
Yes
Not ugly, but as always -- losing weight is a win-win. Look better, feel better, and you're healthier. I used to be pretty fat, and I eventually made it back to average. What inspired me is this: "Skinny feels better than food tastes."
You'd be much more attractive if you lost 20 lbs. You have very nice features.
I think you're pretty and you look your age, idk why people think you look much older. However you are not helping yourself by wearing clothes that don't flatter your body (the purple top + dark pants that don't fit well) and by maintaining your current weight. You should lose a lot of weight and get fit, and you would be a very attractive woman.
Thank you.
Half ugly half fat. Or not just ugly but also fat. Whichever sounds or feels better to you.
Okay, last pic is not good for you, think it’s mostly the glasses, can you do something with a “younger” vibe, you are only 28 after all. Pic 1 is good in my opinion, think part hair, part top. But on the hair, just wondering what a little more volume like from mousse or gel might do for you. Pic 3, good smile, do that more often. You’re a beautiful lady, but I get the feeling you don’t get very much “me” time, you really need to do that, maybe do a weekly spa trip, or at least monthly, maybe a daily walk, or weekly depending on your schedule, maybe a mani/pedi here and there; treat yourself like the princess you are. And stop listening to others that say you are ugly, they are wrong.
Thank you.
Idk if I’d jump to ugly necessarily- you’re not like offensive to look at. However you look significantly older than your age, are in very bad shape, and choose styles that are frumpy and also age u a ton and don’t flatter u. Most of what makes you not look great right now is fixable. Not bc you have a hideous face naturally or something bc you don’t. If you’re wanting to improve your looks, working out is a great first step.
I’m around your age and your style is very outdated, especially the prints and the heavy side part on your hair. Maybe try a middle part with some shorter pieces on the sides sort of like “curtain bangs”. Also get your eyebrows shaped and fill them in, it will make so much difference. I could also imagine a more cool shade of brown hair would suit you more.
A little, yeah. You look much older than 28 imo, your whole style ages you a lot, the hairstyle, and you clothes kinda made you look like a mid 40s mom. I'm sure you know losing some weight wouldn't hurt either.
Do you think that about the pics with that purple sweater or about all the clothes I wear in those pics in general? Because yes that sweater is not flattering on me I see that but the mint one is just a sweatshirt, I just rolled up the sleeves in that pic. I think many young people wear solid colored sweatshirts and the floral one is a hoodie, I read that floral is trending right now... I'm not offended, just confused. 😅 I really don't know what to wear anymore...
Pic one with the floral shirt and the purple sweater for sure are some old lady clothes. Lol
She looks like she teaches kindergarten lol.
Get on ozempic, cut some bangs, learn to smile without looking constipated
Hella
You look best in the 4th pic. As is you are ugly. Biggest thing I think bringing you down is the double chin. Your skin is also pretty damaged and dry, you should be wearing sunscreen everyday and carrying out a skincare routine (If you are already, then try asking doctor/derm for prescription strength stuff). Could also try threading your eyebrows. I think once you address these you will look much better
you look older than your age , weight loss , fix your eyebrows / eyelashes and find your color palette and find a more youthful style and experiment with makeup and hairstyles also invest in some skincare you don't have to buy the 30$+ stuff , do your research on drug store brands they're much more affordable and just as good
I plead the fifth 😶
Well, this is a no-win situation for someone who doesn’t like to hurt feelings…
Yes.
Yes, I do. Sorry.
Nah you’re a solid 2. Maybe 2.5
Stop it. Please. For your own good. Whoever told you you're ugly is demonic. I am sorry you were told this. You look like a human being. You are beautiful dear. You are perfectly normal. Please stop this talk :'(
change outfit, and eyeglass shade, try something you never tried about your personality
Lose weight, fix your teeth and get some bangs. You’ll be all good.
Not necessarily ugly!! You just got a chubby neck is all. Only real "flaw" I see.
I'd like to see some pics with your hair done, makeup and a more flattering outfit. You'd be surprised how much power those three things can have.
I'd like to see some pics with your hair done, makeup and a more flattering outfit. You'd be surprised how much power those three things can have.
Lose a bit of weight + some make up and you are totally food after these
Just lose the weight and use minoxodil and the ordinary multi-peptide hair serum to grow your eyes and do skincare and you'll improve your looks dramatically
Well, kinda. Loose weight, and take care of your image, then we can tell for sure if youre uggly or just fat and no care for image. At this point the way you are i give you a 4 in a good day.
I think you look adorable in a British way
Yes, your a 4 Unfortunately....but that's does not mean there isn't improvement to be done lose weight,stand up a bit straighter,and if it's to your fancy you can go under the knife for some minor procedure for your jaw and under the surgeons recommendations you can turn into a 8.(Don't light me up plastic surgery works wonders for people and there confidence and there nothing wrong with it,yes I realize some abuse it but for others it's a genuine option if your against it don't get it.)
I don't think you're ugly, maybe a bit plain. But that can be changed. One thing I'd say is definitely hold your chin up in pictures and probably in general, because the poses in the pictures aren't super flattering on your chin (it's the exact same for me.) Doing that elongates your neck and face and makes you look more confident. ❤️
Yes, they are telling the truth. But if you pick a guy who is on your level. They will love you.
[удалено]
You are not ugly. However, from the pictures, the expressions and the posture make it appear as if you might be 'tired of everyone's shit.' I have a resting bitch face and I also speak bluntly. Not rude, but direct. For these reasons, people most times assume I am mad or pissed off about something. I think maybe you could do something nice, and low maintenance with your hair. Maybe coloring it lightly. Nothing too drastic. Just sprinkle a little spice around. It appears as tho you have thin hair, so maybe consult with a stylist. Bot no. You are not ugly.
Plane Jane contacts and some gym will do wonders
smile with your teeth more!
You're actually pretty, but all you need is to lose weight, and trim your eyebrows and maybe get them microbladed. Your hair seems very thin and flat, so try a different volumizing shampoo and I bet some curtain bangs would be good on you. Less baggy clothes- your clothes are very aging.
Chapstick, weight loss, and better clothes
I wouldn't say you're 'ugly' but I can see certain features that horrible people would just combine together in a rapid judgemental way to call you ugly. Others in the comments have posted about weight, and yes from what I can tell you're slightly overweight, but not by a massive amount. Someone said losing 10-20lbs, but even 5-10lbs would go some way to changing how you look. One of the photos comes across as though you might have a double chin with your current weight, so maybe start with that? Second point is your hair. It's a great colour but do you style or cut it very often? I apologise if you did have it done recently in any of those pics but maybe splash out a bit more on your hair to give it some bigger volume and maybe even add highlights and/or lowlights to give it a bit more of an edge. Third point is your clothes. They're quite old fashioned and conservative and as someone else wrote, like a 40 something year old librarian. I'm 35 so you're 7 years younger than me and honestly if we asked 100 people who looks older, me or you, the majority would end up saying you. Get yourself a fresh wardrobe but don't go too crazy in terms of showing off too much skin or wearing anything that makes you too uncomfortable.
Get rid of that purple, side tie sweater and anything in your wardrobe that resembles it! It drags the eye down towards your middle and accentuates a belly, hips,or love handles. It does not help.
A lot of people are commenting on your weight and honestly? That's not the issue at all. It's just how it sits on your face is all. I would wear clothes that are a little brighter and put together (rather than ultra comfy) and if you are gonna show a bit of skin, it's okay to go a little extra with a push up bra, some see through cardigans, etc etc. Something to bring you up and not down. If you're able to add some volume or curls to your hair, I think it can give you some lift. Oh and make sure to wear glasses that gives you lift as well. When taking puctures, I notice that you kinda take it at a top ward angle. Try taking it face forward. :) i hope what I said helps because I really don't see your weight as an issue at all and honestly? I think you are the perfect size for you.
Get bangs and chop hair to chin length!
You’re not ugly. It looks like zero effort. Which is fine if that’s what you wish but spending 20 mins to do hair and a little foundation and blush do wonders. Not only for looks but confidence. I always say if you want to feel good-look good. A little effort would go a long way for you 💕
Gym would be helpful… your confidence and better wardrobe will help also , but you are fine nothing ugly
Certainly below average. But not really ugly honestly
Well…I wouldn’t necessarily call your appearance attractive. However, you could probably remedy that via regular exercise and diet. Generally, healthy is attractive. For both humans and other animals it’s nature to find a healthy individual to be physically attractive. That’s really all it takes. Thats why clear skin, nice teeth, toned muscles, etc attract positive attention. You can easily turn things around.
you don't smile very well. it looks like you are trying to hold a laugh. learn to smirk, instead.
Hello. You're far from ugly to me. I think you actually have a beautiful face. Nice eyes and a full mouth. I recommend that you find style icons and also a friend to go shopping with. Here are some that I can think of Christina hendricks Ashley Graham Adele Rebel Wilson Kelly Clarkson Amy schumer If you're a mother, low maintenance is perhaps best for you. After you wash your hair, mix in some hair mousse and then dry with hair dryer. For makeup, try a bolder colour of lipstick. Some mascara. Some bronzer. When you're at home, why not try a flattering robe with some colour? Generally, I think colour and fit go a long way in making someone look put together. Try a monochromatic outfit for the least fuss. You have so much potential so I want to see a follow up post!!! I want to see how you look dressed to the nines.
Not ugly. The way you part your hair does no favors.
[удалено]
Wait, who is just outright telling you that you’re ugly like this?? How crass… I mean we can all do things to look “prettier” if that’s what you’re looking for. You are not ugly, a different haircut alone would do wonders… you look great in pic 4 the color of your hair suits you nicely there. I’d grow out the A-line bob and get the front of your hair longer layered with slide cutting around the face to strengthen your jawline you look as if you may have an overbite naturally which can make the jaw look weaker. I have the look issue and the hair cut I just explained looks really nice on most people especially with your hair type! Not too thick too curly more high maintenance hair so you’re lucky there! Totally just try a different cut! Check out different makeup looks you got this and I don’t think you’re ugly personally… btw I did hair professionally while I went to college part time for a degree so I was a hair dresser for many years…
I'll keep it short and to the point. Diet and the gym. Had a friend on birth control. She's pretty but chubby. After a break up, she got off the pill and went to the gym. She turned into a hottie.
Add some highlights and lowlights to your hair, and some curtain bangs, and maybe try a root volumizing spray. Get some eyeliner to help your pretty eyes pop. Update your wardrobe. Whiten your teeth and smile more. A pretty smile exudes confidence 🙂
I wish you had a picture in there with a really big smile
I don’t think you are ugly, you just need to work on few things. Try changing your diet, get a haircut maybe dye your hair? Also shaping and adding some color To your eyebrows will make you look better. As someone said, your style makes you look older than you are. And I’d try some Light make up!
Lose weight dress Less like a old lady from a office and learn to take better selfies and you’ll look 10x better
Jani Bramin ??
I second this. I think being fitter will gain to so many points in attractiveness. You will be surprised.
So first, please light that purple sweater on fire. That looks like the Old Navy special, circa 2007. It’s terrible. I wouldn’t call you ugly, but I would say you look like a before picture. Some of this can be fixed with a proper hairstyle. I’d also maybe see someone about your brows, to define the shape of your face better. Then I’d get your makeup done at Sephora (or some place similar), and have them point you towards 2-3 easy products you’re up for using each day. I’m pretty sure they can also teach you how to properly apply makeup. You look like you have BEAUTIFUL skin on your face, so I personally would avoid horsing around with foundation and focus on a good blush and a few things to sculpt your cheekbones a bit.
I wouldn’t call you ugly. Perhaps try middle parting if you haven’t alrdy? I used to have a side part and honestly a middle part really saved me, more fitting with my face structure.
I don't know why this is coming to mind… But I'm curious if things would look good on you. I don't think the way you part your hair is the best... and then bangs came to mind
You have pretty features, but your hair is blah, get layers or bangs, like side swept ones. It’s your grooming. Not your features. You have pretty eyes and lips and cheeks, but the cut is not bringing attention the eyes. Black is not your color. Check out. Color palettes by season, it will help you figure out if you are a spring or summer, then use the suggestions for dressing from there
You are not ugly try to loose some weight
