31M, my ex of 3 years used to tell me I'm ugly and never really complimented me, I believed her for a while. slowly gaining my confidence back.. I know I'm not a 10 but I'd like to know where I stand. Please be honest. Last image is verification.

wow I honestly am so thankful for your honest, insightful, and amazing commentary/rating, that is exactly what I was looking for. I agree that quite a number of comments say I am an 8/10 which I am very happy to hear but there was something holding me back from hitting 9/10 and your comment went in depth as to what it could be. Also seeing 5 as the lowest score made me feel a bit better about myself.

While I was with my ex, I wasn't really hitting the gym so I did have a belly, I wasn't fat but I just didn't work out. My hair and facial hair was well kept though. Still I don't think it's enough of a reason for someone who is suppose to love you call you ugly. So I'm pretty surer it was out of spite. She was the kind of person to throw food at you in an argument.

It's unbelievable how good you are at reading people from photos alone.. I'm actually an engineer and I do have quite a few friends as well.

As per your comment on each pic, I will try my best to analyze what you're saying and to improve on myself from there. The cons you listed seem to be my pudgy face and I'm currently at 16.5% body fat which is on the higher end of healthy (1% more and I'll be classified as fat). so I know this is something I can work on, since you say that is what is holding me back from being seen as "hot" vs "cute". The crazy thing is all my life women have called me "cute" and "adorable" but never "hot" or something along those lines and this comment really put things in perspective for me. So I know this is something I can work on. The only thing I can't work on is the black/bland eye color that I have, which I'm okay with. I am south east asian and I'm happy with who I am from that perspective. I can always wear contacts anyways.

I'll take that 6.5 and try my best to work on myself from there. the other comments who were rating me higher gives me hope as well. and at least now I now from a quantitative standpoint I am definitely not ugly and actually attractive from what it seems and my ex can go f*ck herself.

Thank you man doing lots of us a favor here.
