    As the title suggests, are you formerly beautiful? If so, how has losing your looks affected you and changed your life. Do people treat you differently? Perhaps Father time took your looks, perhaps you were disfigured in an industrial accident. Did you accept the loss of looks or try to fight it?

    ( hoping this will make the ugs in the ugly thread feel better)

    smokes have left me with a gob like a burnt fence but im correcting at the moment

    To be honest, I'm getting better looking as time goes on, but then again I'm more aware of where the fat is on my body and I work to get rid of it. I have pretty decent genes, so I shouldn't look "old" until I am near 70 and I am very self-conscious while being extremely vain so I don't let myself get ugly. So yeah, I'm still improving.

    Kind of. I was beautiful until the age of abotu 11. Since then I've been ugly. How has it effected me? Hey, I knw what I am and to hell with it.


    Women seem to like the honesty. Men are more judgemental. Kids and small animals, not bothered one way or the other

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I went from very good looking to average. Im just another face in the crowd now a days. It takes a lot to get used to and i have a **** personality so i have nothing to fall back on. Now all i have are my notches in the bed post that have gotten better looking with age. Back in the day i was the good looking one in the relationship. Now some of them are out of my league :(

    Tell that to The boyfriend of Sabrina the teenage witch.

    My body goes to **** every time I get pregnant, and it takes over a year to get it back again.
    It's really hard and frustrating.
    Other than that, I look the same as I did 10+ years ago.
    Age hasn't gotten me yet.

    Stop getting preggers so.

    You are and all! :)
    Glad you know it - most attractive women can't admit they are attractive.
    Maybe that's just an Irish thing. I don't know.

    So logical.
    So simple.
    I think you're onto something.

    My love for myself increases with alcohol.
    I'm really quite unridish :(

    I agree with the first thing you said...*fap fap fap*

    Beside, as I've said before and I'll say it again, you have the happiest name on boards.

    Um Jeans != Genes....but you do have a great username if it comes from where I think it does.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I've looked the same since I was about 12; ie like a 12-year old.

    Ditto. Am probably edging towards the norm as I age, or rather the norm is getting closer to my level. ;)

    What's with all the ugly/pretty threads this evening? It's like EdenHazard on drugs.

    In my experience its a myth perpetrated by middle aged men hoping to pull a younger woman, and accepted by younger men who desperately hope its true.

    For every one George Clooney there's 50 Rowan Atkinsons.

    Sorry. :)

    I've aged well and most think I'm way younger than I am, despite smoking 40 a day and drinking like a fish - down to the genes I think, auld lad died old with a full head of hair and looked like Elvis(shared a birthday too) in his prime. I've a sister who came 2nd in Miss Universe so the blood is good(not good enough to come 1st though:D)- other sister is 40 and still has men drooling wherever she goes to the point of it being funny(whenever we need to go to hospital we drag her along as the Doctors all fall over her and we get great service). Looks are handy and tend to be all people judge you on short term. Losing them, well thats why God invented Gyms and beauticians..

    I'm like a fine wine :pac::pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I used to be beautiful till I got really fat.

    I'll start fighting it tomorrow, gotta finish this pizza first.

    Yep, that's why most women prefer old men in their 70s over Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner- OH WAIT,



    NO THEY DON'T! HAHAHA
