There're plenty of things you can do to be more attractive. Eat cleaner, get good sleep, go outside more, work out, take care of your skin. Yes, those things are much harder than putting on some makeup. But you can still change your looks, not matter how ugly you think you are.

Working out can make your build better, but sleeping or eating healthy isnt going to repair natural ugliness

u/Gl0ck_Ness_M0nster 12h ago
Sometimes, what you perceive as natural ugliness just came about because of a poor lifestyle. Good sleep will remove bags under your eyes, and eating well will keep your skin clear of acne, etc.

Working out makes your face look better and eating healthy makes your skin clearer added with skin routine

Brochacho i dont even know how to do that, i mean no matter how i say something or how i carry myself i just am naturally awkward when i talk. even if i speak perfectly clear

u/Ulvaer OLD 19h ago
The good news is that it's a thing you can practise! Try to play the mind games with yourself that you need to do to be happy about yourself to gain confidence, that's key. Don't take yourself too seriously. Try to learn what people you care about find amusing or interesting, and watch how people with a lot of charisma behave, then try to imitate some of it. "Fake it 'til you make it" works surprisingly well. Also, remember that you're playing the long game, you have literally decades to spend.
I grinned at 'brochacho', I'll start using that.

Brotato how do you "just do it"

u/Ulvaer OLD 18h ago
First step is confidence, bromigo. Find out what you're happy with about yourself and focus on those things. Be happy that you are you and try to be a good you instead of wanting to be someone else, play to your own strengths. Learn to not take yourself too seriously and don't seek validation from others. If you're not confident you'll probably have an urge to up-play your own abilities and contributions and that leads to you being taken less seriously (just look at Trump and how he's bragging about all kinds of ridiculous things). Own who you are, but work on the things you want to change.

Ugly and unattractive aren't the same thing. Thats why a slightly ugly 6'3 muscular guy is more attractive than a handsome 5'7 guy

But you can still change your looks, not matter how ugly you think you are.
That chnage your looks is very important. If you do not look good, you're at most gonna look ok, even if you do all those things, meanwhile women can do this with all the other things on top without being judged in most places. Although of course no one will go from looking like Donald Trump to a 10/10, women can generally change a little more.

u/Sensitive_Potato333 16 20h ago
Toupees, many male models and actors wear makeup, and lashes are gender neutral

u/SteppedTax88238 15 14h ago
say that to the awesome homophobic half of the world that will accuse you of being gay if you walk the wrong way and burn you on a campfire (true btw)

u/Sensitive_Potato333 16 7h ago
Yeah, I can't convince them... Unless they're already actors, then they're probably directed to wear makeup
1
u/Ernadski 17 6h ago
A woman will make fun of a guy for wearing a toupee, those models and actors are already good looking and they only wear a little bit of makeup, fake lashes aren't gender neutral. I don't think a single woman would find a guy with big fake eye lashes attractive, because its supposed to be feminine
1
u/Sensitive_Potato333 16 5h ago
A) not anymore than women get made fun for having hair extensions or wearing wigs, because they do get made fun of for being "fake"
B) so? Men who aren't actors or models can still wear makeup if they learn how to actually do it
C) I've seen lots of men get compliments from women for having longer eyelashes. I've only seen other men make fun of them for eyelashes.

u/Blitzerob 21h ago
if you wanna look good just maintain dental hygiene, hair, skincare, etc as best as you can. maintain weight too. same for men and women. if you just condition yourself to look your best naturally, chances are you'll look fine at the very least. you can also try to put in a little effort to keep your hair looking nice, as long as you work an occupation that gives you a reason to (construction/mechanic things that will make you dirty or require a lot of manual labor, don't bother fixing your hair before going to work obv)
and as for this meme, most makeup/plastic surgery doesn't look good on women in comparison to how they look naturally. just maintain yourself and you'll be fine—theres always a way to look better
3
u/Diogin40 20h ago
But if your face is fucked up to a certain point, theres no fixing it.

u/Blitzerob 20h ago
well if you're trying to look good to be more attractive you're more likely to attract someone genuine if you aren't good looking

If it can cover up a fucking woman's face then it can cover up a man's. By makeup, we aren't talking about lipstick or eyelashes, we are talking about foundation, highlight, powder...

a good haircut, clear skin, working out, good teeth and good style goes a long way. Easist way too stay ugly is to pretend that is your only choice

u/Ernadski 17 6h ago
Haircuts, working out, good style don't change your f ce

u/Complete-Coyote9676 16 6h ago
How ugly your percived as isn’t determined by your unchangable face structure.
Even if it did, certain haircuts can make you look very diffrent and losing fat by working out changes your face
1
u/Ernadski 17 6h ago
It definitely is determined by your unchangable facial features. Asymmetry, Eyes, Nose, Jawline etc.
1
u/Complete-Coyote9676 16 6h ago
Do you genuinely think girls look at all that to determine if they think you’re ugly ? There is so much stuff you can easily do to make you look better. And makeup, wigs etc dont change your face structure either.

u/bleedingh3artz 12h ago
men complaining abt ts is so funny LMAO. the reason why men don't have that many ways to improve their looks as women is bc a woman's entire worth according to society is based on her looks. not men's.

Genders don’t live on separate planets you know? Makeup and wigs won’t disappear if you touch them….you just can. Also rubs me the wrong way with how women are objectified and judged on appearance more so they feel like they have to do these things, and men are making it into a pity fest for themselves. You have to ask yourself WHY you think this way

u/No-Distribution-2805 20h ago
I think there's something called "self improvement" and taking care of your looks, and also if you're not too good looking you can have skills in something yk

You can wear makeup, wigs, and lashes as a man, you can do whatever you want! Do what makes you feel good! You can fully go in drag if you want to!

u/sr_steve 19h ago
ngl I think people should stop caring so much about looks. Fits and haircuts like that are not really important. If you do it for yourself, because that's how you want to look for yourself, fine, but I think that doing it to please other is idk. It could get bad specially when you thinking that you're ugly makes you constantly sad. To some people, it might even lead to a steroid addiction

u/Null_Simplex 17h ago
Unpopular to say on Reddit, but men’s sexuality is more visual than women’s (usually) and women will ironically be more forgiving towards your looks if you have good vibes (usually). This is why most porn is consumed by men whereas most erotica is consumed by women. Again, these things aren’t absolute, everyone’s a snowflake.

A good haircut and wearing something that looks nice are two easy steps that can make you look leagues better with little effort

U can still use concealer or foundation 🤷🏻♀️ fuck what society thinks, and on top of that these products are just to match your shade, not add colorful pigments sooo yup men won't even be able to tell you've applied something, although women or male makeup artists would probably be able to tell

Nature made man the most beautiful creature, check the males of other species, the lion, peacock etc. Being oneself is beautiful, being something other than yourself, as per nature, is ugly.

Not really, both men and women can use and do use makeup - majority of famous male actors that are considered good looking use makeup.
Many of us men are just lazy to actually take care of our skin every day and then we instead complain that we are not as pretty as women because thats easier.
