On the one hand you look like this guy that I met yesterday in houston. On the other hand, that looks like a house in mexico(looking by the closet style, light switch, and paint). Where are you from?

I'm from Spain, but living from 5 years ago in Mexico. Those photos are from my cousins house in Tampico, where I'm now.

Any hair style suggestions, GAF?

Looks A-OK, don't change a single hair on your head.

Well, there's no way you're going to win a beauty pageant, Phranky, but it's not like my eyes have melted out of my face at the sight of your visage, Arc of the Covenant-style. BTW... people look way better when they're smiling. I think I look stupid when I smile because I have massive fat deposits on my cheeks that aren't going anywhere -- I could be starving in the desert for weeks on end, my body fat percentage a mere 1%, and they'd still be there. But! Ask any girl and they'll tell you smiling = ftw. So yeah, you're no great beauty, but you aren't ugly either, and if you actually smiled you'd look even better. Normal appearance ftw.

And since I haven't posted a pic in ages/have never done the camera in front of a mirror thing, here's a pic of myself:

I seem to wear the same top for every GAF photo. Oh well.

Any hair style suggestions, GAF? I've been letting it grow out for a couple months now after having it shaved... I think the time has almost arrived for my first haircut in 4 years.

Looking sharp dude, change your hairstyle to something I have like mine:

Obviously thats not me but I like that hairstyle as well as my girlfriend.

What you see there in my picture is my normal appearance, and it will seem odd to you all when I say this but I honestly don't know what my smile looks like. Whenever I smile it's always an involuntary action (if I'm watching a comedy show or something) and so I can never recall the particular combination of facial movements in order to pull it off. Whenever I attempt it, its always forced and looks stupid.

I'm not growing my hair because I've already said it's far too thick, and anyway, one side of my fringe always stick straight up no matter what... it's extremely difficult to flatten it down even with all the wax, gel and other hair products you can buy. It's easier just to get the rest of it to match.

Just ignore the rest of this post... what the hell was I thinking.

As for why I seem like such an asshole on GAF sometimes: I've become emotionally detached, and even though I'm heterosexual I rarely look at women in a sexual way anymore, I just don't see the point in engaging them in conversation because they (and I) know they can do much better. I don't trust anybody with anything (due to many social failures), so I'm always cold and aloof... I'd rather humiliate other people and make them feel miserable before they do it to me.

All of these things happened to me (or continue to) because of how I look. I despise this society with a passion because of how it treats people like me; if you aren't perfect or don't adhere to the norms and follow everyone like sheep then you're not welcome. I've seen so many idiotic morons being rewarded for behaving like mindless sheep; going with the motions and never once using their brains... However, I go to school where I'm treated like shit, go through University where I'm completed ignored and find out afterwards there's no place for me. Fuck that, it's everyone else that's not welcome in my world... not the other way round. I can't be smile or be happy until I've let go of my anger, but unfortunately that's the only thing that motivates me right now.
 
WTF? High forehead makes you look "smarter", as opposed to a low one that makes you look like a gorilla/neanderthal (yeah, I know that in fact neanderthals had larger brains than us). Does any culture at all consider low forehead physically attractive?? Can't believe you had such hard time. Plus, your forehead is not giant, just large. Forget about the fucktards and start enjoying life.

I just need to get my shit together, which basically means taking off and leaving this country (UK) for a while. I've had enough of this binge drinking, big brother watching place.

Yeah, it could be much worse. At least he doesn't look like this:

I said I wouldn't post any proper pictures of me (without that mask), but I thought it was about time I got over my phobia. I still can't post my picture directly onto the forums, because I'm still ashamed of the way I look (you can blame the 10 straight years of bullying when I was a kid for that) so I've settled for a link. This picture is a few years old and dates back to my time in University, just replace the glasses with the generic trendy ones you see everyone wearing these days and the clothes with something better and you'll have me as I look now.

Yeah, I know I have a giant forehead (it's a combination of genes from my parents, I'll never forgive them for it)... I was bullied because of it, so no jokes... please.

No worries dude- you just have to accentuate the good features you've got, and downplay the ones you're not too happy with. If you're not happy with your hair/forehead- what's wrong with wearing a baseball cap all of the time? It can do wonders for visually balancing out the proportions of the head. Or hell, you ever think about shaving your head? I'm sure someone would photoshop a picture together if you were interested to see how it'd look.

Do you get much facial hair? You should try going for the 5 o'clock shadow look instead of being clean-shaven.

This is a chav (and I have no desire to be one):

Take note of the baseball cap.

Wendo said:

Yes, and I'd look weird... my head is also fairly large (as is my entire skeletal structure as a matter of fact) and square at the front.

Wendo said:

I get plenty, but there's a fine line between looking good and looking incredibly lazy. I've always wanted to go for that kind of look, but I was never sure on what length looks good. How would you trim that anyway?

Well, not that baseball cap. :lol
Just something that fits you well, and has a logo you like. If you're not into that, that's cool though.

Just use a beard trimmer with the length attachment taken off. It'll provide you with uniform 5 o'clock shadow goodness. And as long as you use it at least once every two days, you'll still look neat- not lazy. You'd also want to shave your neck with a razor, so that your jawline is accentuated.
 
Phranky, pardon me if you've already said this, but have you tried contacts instead of glasses? My best friend made the switch a few years back, and he honestly looked like a completely different guy.

If it doesn't really matter with your job or anything like that, try growing your hair back out again. I've actually been doing that for a few months now (got sick of frequent haircuts, I cut my own hair) and although my hair really gives me problems sometimes (really thick, cowlick on either side, frizzy in heat) it worked out better than I thought it would. I'm actually getting it cut again soon (short, 1/2 inch guard ftw) for summer, but I'm glad I did.

I wear a baseball hat a lot, don't be a hat hater. ;) Especially if your hair is a little longer, it beats fighting the wind all the time, IMO.

^ Wendo, a co-worker of mine pulls that off. I honestly didn't even realize that I had never seen him totally clean-shaven until he told me what he did. He looks respectable enough.

I was actually thinking facial hair would work well for you too. A medium length beard would be good for you. What's your age?

By the way, you aren't a bad looking guy. I remember reading that message about the mask a long time ago and built your appearance up in my mind, then you finally post your pic and you look like that? :lol

I know that bullies can effect your body image, but you shouldn't be ashamed of your appearance. And I'm not just saying this to make you feel better in case you thought that. Hell, at bare minimum you're better looking than I am.

Seriously though, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I guess that eqautes to: if you're not happy with something, change it. If you can't change it... change it anyways.

Your low self-worth and consistent reminders to us of that low self-worth are far, far more unattractive than you really are. You've got so much unnecessary baggage and bullshit carried around with you that I'm not surprised you have so many social problems. Let go.

I think just about everyone on this forum was bullied for many things about themselves while they were growing up. Stop acting like you're such a unique victim. You only have one life, and you're going to have to deal with the cards you've been dealt. Are you going to waste it all letting the past stop you?

I was going to post this on my myspace profile but upon realising I'm not only wearing the fakest smile ever, but wearing shades indoors and doing that thing with my hand, I became too ashamed.

I don't mind sharing with you guys though <3

Yeah, thanks for that. I'll just snap out of my depression, thanks for the advice...

EDIT: In a nutshell I'm a quiet contemplative introvert, I think about everything logically and when it doesn't work out as I imagined then I just don't know what to do. When I was very young I was a complete no hoper idiot and prone to violent outbursts when I became frustrated. Bullying drove me into the library where I began to read about a whole bunch of things, filling my head with knowledge and other stuff like that... That whole experience saved me and I became able to control my anger.

My mother once said to me recently-ish that she always believed that my sister would be the one to finish school, attend university and do something with her life. In that awful attempt at a compliment she basically said she thought I was worthless and stupid when I was younger... imagine that...

I'm sure I'll get over it one day.

I'm being dead serious here, but I'm starting to really like (and appreciate) your posts.

It is good advice. I mean, obviously it's not something you can just snap out of, but you don't have a really healthy mindset right now and you need to work on it. Obviously you're aware of that, but you need to actively work on it.
 
Phranky said:

It's a lot easier and re-assuring to follow the self-deprecation and self-sympathy route instead of actively trying to change. I know because I, and i'm sure many others, have gone through phases like that. There's someone out there for everyone, believe it or not.
 
Like I said before, I need to get away from the UK... it just annoys and frustrates me too much. The great unwashed only seem to enjoy getting completely drunk (alcohol is of course something I don't enjoy) and watching mindless drivel like soap operas and reality TV...

There's no intellectual stimulation whatsoever, I feel like I'm going crazy.

It's not your environment that's stopping you from making a change, however. If you think there's nothing to do in the UK then there probably aren't many other places where there is something to do. In all honesty, the way you speak about it just seems like an attempt to buy you some time / a reason to procrastinate with positive reformation of yourself.

"I'll make myself better...but I'll start only after I move / visit somewhere else! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

There are so many things to do in the UK that I really have a hard time believing that it's whats holding you back.
 
I was about to say that changing enviornments won't do anything at all it's like the people who blame their schooling/people in their schools...if you move it's the same shit only different faces.

Man, its five in the morning here! What are you (and I) even doing up now?

Where about in the UK are you? I'm sure you could move about domestically, maybe even just within your locality, and find whatever intellectual stimulation you seek.

You're such a cliche.

Right now all I'm seeing from you are excuses and misplaced blame. You can go on forever blaming bullies, parents, ex-friends, television, alcohol, etc, but in the end, no one has to live with you but yourself. It's pretty obvious to everyone here that you don't like yourself, so then why should anyone else?

They say it all the time in the relationship threads: cocky and funny. You are neither. You're depressing and morose. Once you get confidence and a sense of humor about things, life seems a lot less gloomy than you've made it seem to yourself. Suddenly, people start to gravitate towards you. Things start going in your favor, situations seem far less threatening, and you actually learn some fucking tolerance rather than judging everyone like you're better than them (all the while complaining about how shitty you are).

I mean, for real here... you've got nerds on a gaming forum telling you to shape up your act. You've hit rock bottom. Don't stay there forever. It sucks seeing people given the opportunity of life only to waste their one shot at it.

That excuse is still no good. SUNY Buffalo is approximately 50 miles away from you. Hit up a KdPhi or Lamda party and youre in!

Pfft.

This guy I work with (restaurant, he's a fellow waiter) had his 20th birthday and had a redneck themed party. When I found this out, I got tons of ideas and bought the following outfit for it...unfortunately, I could only find really cheap mustaches, so they wouldn't stay on very well. So I'd keep switching, as you'll see in the pictures. Here is my full getup:
