In some way, I think the overweight and ugly are fortunate.
I'm a pretty good looking guy. I've made (and noticed) girls heads turn and stare. I've gotten glances and what I call "googly eyes." I've had girls hit on me and "chase" me.... they've even waited and ambushed me. Actually some of the most attractive girls I've ever seen with my eyes have shown signs if liking me... or I suspected. I'm sure in part I've been paranoid so maybe not all of them are like that. Anyways, I'm a pretty dam attractive guy.
And its not all looks. I think make really good impressions when I talk about things I'm passionate about.
AND... IT SUCKS! It sucks to know that girls out there like you for what you look like instead of who you are. And then there's the mixers... partly because of looks and partly because of who I am. I don't like that. Like me only for who I am. That's all.
Today, I purposely try to make myself look less appealing to the eye. I don't comb my hair. I've been struggling about whether I should comb it or not... back and forth. I'd comb it for a while and then not. It makes a big difference.
Ugly people will be liked and loved for who they are. Attractive people will either never know or always wonder whether it was them or what they look like. It sucks. I hate it. I just want honesty. End Rant (Sigh)
This may be quite possibly the most important contribution to this thread.
If your testimony is true, then maybe, just maybe, the twinge of aching you feel when you know you will never be appreciated for the deep down within you, and that no one will ever be able to see that past your vanity
It might be enough that others will never have your vanity, which they think they need, to attain what you seem to disdain.
Do you believe you will live with this thorn for the rest of your life?
Like the Elizabeth Taylor falling in love with the Elephant Man, is the fulfillment of your longing just as likely?
You may be doing the poor more of a service than you will ever realize.
You may experience a drug like rush when you fall in love, but do you always ache knowing that you will never be truly known and accepted for who you are?
Does it make you ache inside, as much as the people who think they will never have the love that you experience ache?
