How do I look???
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 01:58 AM by SmileyBoy
Keep in mind I've had an acne problem for almost 10 years (runs in the family), but I've been working like hell to get rid of it. I was seriously also born with a skin discolorization under my eyes.

OK, so I'm ugly.

1. you look fine to me
I mean "fine" as in no problem. I didn't mean you look FINE! As I am a heterosexual male. ;)

14. go bison. Did you know there are no flag pins in Fargo?
I looked at the truck stops, the 7-11s, hornbachers, the hardware and pharmacy and benfranklin out there, all over w acres when visiting recently. Seemed odd. Lots of those flag magnets though. Lots of potential for someone with a marker. And it's still flat there.

About a quarter of all the cars in the city have those.:puke:

3. You look fine.
Matter of fact I can imagine that at a minimum 50% of the US population thinks that they aren't as good looking.

You've got nothing to worry about.

10. I'm currently on a prescription.
Benzohydroxide-something-or-other. It's done better than I thought. My face no longer looks like the surface of Io.

16. okay, other than the caterpillar....
and the fact that I'm an old, married lady, and my college days are several years ago...

Had we been of age in say, 1995 or 6, and had you been clean and polite, I would have dated you. You're somewhere between a 7 and an 8 on the looks scale. In fact, you look like a brunette version of one of my exes.

But... the mustache... it's a tad... sparse. Ya might be better off without it. Just an opinion.

17. Hmm, two comments on my sparse moustache in the thread...
My friends always said I look real good with it.

It's a Latino-style moustache.

25. yep and I know those mustaches. Very, very well.
They look pretty good at 16-22.... and after that... oh, man.

But, hey, it's your face. You make the decisions.

21. You look fine to me
have you considered going into acting?
You look like a young handsome Dennis Franz to me...
Your acne is not that bad at all, it will go away...
I think you need to think better of yourself....you're not ugly at all...

22. I'm into stand-up comedy.
I've made a couple appearances on Amateur Night at the local comedy club. I've gotten a few laughs, but I need to write more material.

Never was into acting. Music for a while, but it's mostly art, comedy and football right now.

23. Your acne is hardly noticeable.
And I'd like to add that I think it's TERRIFIC that mustaches are fashionable again

How long did it take you to grow the soup strainer, anyhow?

24. Well you don't look very smiley, SmileyBoy
but other than that you look fine! Except the moustache. I've gotta agree with the others--I'd lose it. I'm female, by the way. I like your haircut.

27. Well...
...if you were a chick, I'd recommend orthocyclin, as it has cleared my nasty acne beautifully :hi:
You look fine though :)

29. What matters is what's inside...
I'm sure you've heard this before. There are always people who look better -- you're not going to win any prizes, but then neither are most of us.

Acne usually goes away -- at least, it did for me when I was around 30. I was self-conscious, too. But I found a good dermatologist and took a look at my diet. Healthy in, healthy out... try fruits and grains and vegetables. I did a children's television show during this period and was on for one hour a day five days a week, LIVE!

Also, this is a pretty weird picture. Your face is skewed, the framing is lousy with the TV showing. This is not your best photograph.

I'd be interested to know a little more about you. What are you studying? I've never been to North Dakota. What's it like? Where is your family? Do you have parents or brothers or sisters?

Those are the kind of things that matter. I married a man who was bald when he was 23, and who had three kids. But he's a great person and we've had a good life for the last 31 years!

In peace... and good night (or morning, depending where you are).

My ex-girlfriend broke up with me on Valentine's Day, 2003.
