Did I look attractive when I was kid/teenager?

[Ross MwcFan]

This photo was taken back in around 1990, http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l610/RPKGameVids/SWScan00482.jpg

 

Btw, the way my photo has uploaded onto the internet, it has made my face look more wider. In the original photo it's a lot more thinner and narrow.

 

It was when I was a kid/teenager when I got feedback from females in the real world on my attractiveness, and it was always negative.

 

I'm just curious about what people here think.

 

I've got no idea whether I was ugly then and I've grown into my looks more now and have become this really attractive guy that people say I am now, or whether my attractiveness has always been the same.

 

Personally I don't think I looked attractive back then at all.

Hey, I was a pretty attractive 18 month old

 

In your case, you're Opie (Ron Howard)

[pteromom]

Awwwww. Yes. I think you look adorable!!!

Hmmm, he looks unattractive.

Here's a picture of Ron and his wife Cheryl back the old days. He and Cheryl will be celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary in a couple weeks.

Adorable to older people, but attractive to other girls of that age, I doubt it.

[xxoo]

Ross, that picture is adorable! Very handsome young man.

Did you know that it is very common for girls and boys to tease each other, even when they like each other....and especially when they "like" like each other? Whenever I hear the older boys and girls teasing each other, I think someone's got a crush.....

[carhill]

Sorry Ross, forgot that IMDB denies referrals....try this one (same image, different server)

 

Note the resemblance between them. Ron was a known young actor at the time (Andy Griffith/Happy Days) but had yet to hit his real success as a director when he married Cheryl.

It's hard to say. I've told you before - you resemble my son quite a bit (your hair, coloring, etc) so I am biased toward thinking you are cute. LOL

 

But looking at the pic, you have beautiful eyes, a sweet face, nice skin, good hair. There's certainly nothing unattractive about you.

[Ross MwcFan]

Yeah, there's definatley a resemblance there.

 

I've never seen a woman who was a close resemblance to me though. Maybe that's why I've never managed to get one.

Underscoring how people grow and change, a more recent picture from 2007.

 

The elemental and long-lived aspects of us grow and change too and cannot be reflected by mere pictures.

[Ross MwcFan]

He's so lucky.

[pteromom]

You don't want a woman that resembles you though.... I mean, that shouldn't be a GOAL.

 

There is nothing wrong with the way you look. I think the only thing in the way is your own insecurity.

[Ross MwcFan]

Just for the heck of it, a couple more pics from when I was even younger in the 80's when I wa son holiday, good times, good memories, I've got no idea why I want to share them on a message board, it's probably because I'm drunk.

I was thinkng, that the only kind of women I could get would be ones who resemble me. Since everyone is supposed to attract people who look like them.

[carhill]

As a comparison, take a look at this picture in my album without reading the caption. Which woman is my now exW? See how that little kid grew and changed. He never knew that the safe little front yard would become a far-flung land with far-flung friends. That's how life is. A box of chocolates

Really?

 

Never heard that one.

 

There are a bunch of really pretty redheaded girls out there, but don't limit yourself.

 

You need to start working on being kinder to yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. You look perfectly NORMAL. You obviously can articulate thoughts to write, so you aren't stupid. There is NO REASON you can't find someone.

 

Quit telling yourself you aren't good enough. It's bull.

So why haven't any females in the real world wanted me yet? (I'm 36 btw)

Hard to know that without knowing you and seeing how you interact with people. There's a lot more to attraction than looks.

 

I didn't realize you were 36.... you look much younger!

 

Have you EVER dated?

Do you ever approach women?

Do you have realistic standards?

I've never dated.

 

I approached women when I was much younger.

 

I have realistic standards. I'm interested in women who would be considered as way below average, but even those women have rejected me and called me 'really ugly'.

That doesn't make sense to me at all. You are definitely NOT really ugly. You don't have a hump or your back or something that we can't see, do you?

 

Do you have a full shot of yourself?

 

Are there any videos with you in them, that would show how you talk/move/whatever?

 

I am just really curious what is going on with you. When you say you approached women when you were "much younger", what age are we talking here? Because someone calling a guy "really ugly" sounds like teenage stuff...

When I was a in my early 20's and a lot younger.

 

I don't have any videos at the moment, but I gues I could make one. I've got no idea what I should say in it though.

[pteromom]

Yeh - women have changed since then. Nobody worth talking to is gonna tell a guy he is ugly.

 

Have you gotten on an OLD site and tried talking to women your own age?

[Ross MwcFan]

Yeah, but they've always either been too old, I haven't found them attractive, or they've had kids. And I can't see that any of them would still like me after meeting me offline.
