Is it possible to date if you have a lot of physical flaws?

[joeson1257]

I am in my late 20s and never dated due to having poor genes that caused me to be physically flawed. How do people who have a lot of negative physical attributes go about dating?

What kind of physical flaws?

 

People always say that looks don't matter as long as you have a good personality, but thats only partially true. The truth is, a lot of people are shallow, and even if they say they don't care about looks, they do. If you feel like you are physically flawed, the best thing to do is pretend you aren't. Your confidence outshines any other personality or physical traits you might have. As long as you carry yourself as a person who is comfortable with all your own attributes, it doesn't matter how many physical flaws you have.

If you look around at other people in shopping centres etc, you notice that there are a LOT of people in couples who are not beautiful. Have a look. Some of them are couples who've been together for 60 years or so. It's not about looks.

All you need is the right person to see the twinkle in your eye and vice versa. They will love you regardless of any flaws and you will love them.

Most people aren't beautiful so personally, I wouldn't worry too much about being a 10.

I wouldn't use this as an excuse to eat whatever I want & not take care of myself... on the contrary.

I'd work 2x as hard just to be a 7.

As far as looks go, that's really all you need to to do be successful.

There are harder things in dating than how you look, lol.

I saw it in the news the other day...A woman with only half a body (she had no legs) got married to a man who had no physically flaws (and he wasn't ugly)....

 

Doctors said she'd never have a baby...Her son is 1 now.

 

YOU determine your destiny....

Unless you have horns and tentacles you have every chance to date.

Is your face horrific? That's the real clincher when it comes to physical flaws.

 

If your headshape/face is not too mutilated/deformed, I'd say you have a pretty good chance at getting into the dating game.

[Klokwurk]

I still stand by what I said.

Of course it's possible, nobody is 100% perfect (or if they are, they don't stay that way forever). Some people will think of those flaws as "endearing", if the chemistry is there and the personalities mesh well.

But the key is for you not to concentrate or worry about the flaws (worrying and obsessing about them won't make them disappear anyway), and to act as if you love yourself and project confidence.

There are a lot of ugly people who have significant others.. you just need to make up for your lack of physical hotness by being really nice, funny, or charming.. or date someone who's not picky. There are people out there who will basically date anyone.

I'm quite overweight, have some blemishes, old stretch marks, etc.

 

I found it easy to find men to date. I am now living with my boyfriend who loves me for me and we have a wonderful time.
