Why do Normies say the same old

So you think your looks are solely based on the shape your face has?

Looks are for the most part a mirror of your personality

What I mean with that is that there is a LOT of your looks that you can influence and change for the better, and in 99 out of a 100 cases it is decisive for your succes in having relationships. The actual features of your face is just a small part of your looks.

The relatively easy changes are clothes, hygiene, hairstyle and grooming. Relatively easy, because you will have to ask advice from others on what clothes and hairstyle you should try, and that's scary to do.

Relatively hard are the changes to your lifestyle and health: making sure you eat well, start exercising so you get fit and get some muscle, and do exercises to improve your posture.

Very hard are the changes to your way of thinking, working on feelings of low self esteem, bitterness, passive agressiveness, helplessness, and so forth.

For me, only when I fixed my self esteem to a sufficient level, I was able to make the final changes in exercise, diet, grooming and clothes.

Now, there is a possibility that you are quasimodo, and that there is nothing to be done-- you're ugly beyond repair, and nobody will ever be interested. But I don't think so. In the past, I tagged some self proclaimed FA/ uglies/ virgins on reddit, which became very interesting when a 'post your picture'-thread came along: NONE of them were ugly. Some were chubby or fat, some were unkempt, some were clearly awkwardly looking, but purely looking at their faces, some of them were actually handsome. Obviously, there's some filtering going on in who dares to post, but the fact still remains that NONE of them were ugly.

There is also the possibility that I'm also an exception: that I was always handsome, girls were pining for my attention, but by some string of bad luck I only had my first kiss from a girl when I was well out of my teens. But I don't think so. I've worked hard to change, and the last changes were still recent. It's a very hard road, and it has to come from within-- too often people here say "well I've tried it for 6 months but it didn't work so I'm back to my old ways!". If you try it as tricks, as a way to get attention from girls, you're not doing it right. There is no way I'm giving up my current way of life, even if my gf dumps me tomorrow and no girl is ever interested again. Well, ok, I'll probably slack off a bit-- but I'll never go back.
