    but also good lord people just need to get more exercise, if you think you’re kinda unattractive you’ll almost certainly be quite hot after a couple years of moderate but consistent workouts and a decent diet.

    I used to be pudgy and unconfident because no shit that’s what happens when you chug soda all day and consider 300m an annoyingly long walk.
    Now a few years after realizing i can actually fix this, i even have some actual visible muscle, and boy howdy is it a thing to look at yourself in the mirror and being unable to deny that you look kinda nice.

    Like, you don’t have to be super fit or anything, just thinking about what you eat and going for as long of a walk as you can be bothered every day (wander around your room for 5 minutes at the very least) does so much.

      yeah, the beauty industry didn’t tease me relentlessly for being fat (I was not fat, I was underweight) to the point I would swim with a t-shirt on. that was my anorexic family.

    No, I’m the opposite. Ugly in this case means what you don’t see. I’m perfectly cromulent to look at with good (enough) charisma to have been described as “terrifyingly charming” before.

    I’m just an asshole with a temper in reality though… Get those from my dad, I guess. Mom gave me the looks, Dad gave me the temperament.
