24 y/o men on Jez? Welcome!

As a gay man whose waist and age are above 28, I have to remember that not everyone is as shallow as I am. Assuming nobody would be interested has cost me about a dozen guys I found out liked me too late.

As an Ugly Duckling, I think a 'who cares' option is needed.

I don't really know how I look bc I see myself everyday, and live inside this body. My outside is an accessory to me. I get told by strangers that I'm beautiful, pretty much every time I'm in a public place, so that's made me feel distant from my looks as being a part of me.

well here's me today. I just turned 32 a few days ago. I don't find myself to be attractive, but I fall into the "short so you're cute" kinda thing.

I don't find myself looking as good as people say, but I think that's par for the course.

I have this issue where women consistently tell me how cute I am (70% of the time when I call myself unattractive, but about 30% without any prompting from me) and yet men* just DO NOT think I am attractive. I have had, to date, a single guy who thought I was decently attractive. The rest rank me as neutral-attractive…

I'm a gay guy and this happens to me to, but I don't find it particularly difficult, in my case. It could be worse, but I've actually had people compliment me and "friends" then shut down that compliment, "Well, he does spend a lot on products", sometimes it is jealousy.
