Fools are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.

I hope she learns to accept herself.

She's good looking, but that's almost besides the point if she can't be at peace with herself.

I don't understand why you would make this thread even if you did get her permission to post her photo on a forum. Defining an arbitrary number as the state of her attractiveness doesn't help her issue. Perhaps she should see a therapist to discuss her dilemma if it is a serious enough problem to where it's affecting her everyday life. I don't believe that her seeing flattering comments about her looks is going to get rid of her low self-esteem.

Pretty much, I'm not sure how much "people on an online gaming forum think you're hot" is going to help.

I think she's good looking and those are some great pictures that show here personality well. I'm surprised that she doesn't think the same because she seems very self assured and confident in her pics.

I'm not going to rate her because honestly, you can't change someone else's self esteem in this way. If she's convinced she's ugly, no one but her can change her mind. If she really wants to fix her self esteem issues, she should look into therapy. Also, I really hope you're telling the truth about having her permission to post this.

Plot twist: OP has been lusting after the girl, going to tell her her average score was a 4/10. Then will implement the D.E.N.N.I.S system.

I guess it's hard to overlook your own flaws, but maybe it'd help to tell her that it's a problem most (if not all) people deal with. She knows herself better than she could know anyone else, and that includes the opportunity to critique herself every day. Naturally she'll see flaws others don't perceive.

Even people she'd consider better looking that herself can struggle with this. I'm sure she'll realize that her self-criticisms are unjustified eventually.

Self esteem / body image issues can hit anyone, a bunch of compliments from random strangers are unlikely to help.

God bless all my old friends/And god bless me too, why pretend?
This thread makes me upset. Why take it down so fast? Silly.

I did see the pics though but I will not give a number. Also for you, you should shave.

She isn't ugly though you can tell her Mike did agree there.
 
Stop now new thread viewers. You missed your chance. :p

I took it down so fast because I got all the replies I needed. You only need so many people to reply and just under 100 was enough.

No need to keep it up and allow more people to judge when they don't need to.

Imagine Zooey Deschanel except her eyes aren't huge and they are brown instead of blue

You are going to make her day with that comparison. Thank you lol.

How did you come to this conclusion?
