I honestly hate being single,
but I am cursed with being unhappy with myself.
I think the guy who said that mistook my leg for my stomach,
along with a few others,
because I was told I look pregnant and so on. gonk
I've had my first kiss along with my first everythng else,
but they were all just using me....
it does seem like I am attracted to a lot of assholes though...
I just don't know how to give myself the unf and make myself feel pretty when it's been so far pounded in my head that I'm not.
In those pictures I was trying to dress up and be pretty honestly..I guess I'm just not terribly photogenic.
I know it isn't easy, but I honestly urge you to work hard to build your confidence, just pretending to have it works wonders. Guys can tell when girls have low self-esteem, and they will use that to their advantage. I promise you, you deserve better than that.
I like your nose ring, and I like your nose. I could give you advice from the photos I have seen on ways to make yourself more attractive and feel better about yourself--but I wouldn't be sure they would work. I'm not going to force my opinions on you, because it really matters that you like what you have. I could tell you what hairstyle to get, how to wear your makeup, all that--but if it's not the way you are I wouldn't be doing you any good... If you've seen my photos, I dress.. I dunno, like an emo 5 year old most of the time, and that apparently works for me. Whoever has told you that you aren't pretty is wrong, I went through the same thing... I know how it is... but now I realize I'm super hot, especially when I play up my best features.
But I can offer you suggestions on ways to take more attractive photos.
I tried to take some example photos of myself, but I'm not wearing makeup or anything... I feel like total crap today, so they probably aren't the best examples... In the past I would have died before showing photos of myself makeupless, though.
I tried to not make them extremely different... I tried to barely move. Hopefully I'm not the only one who notices most of the difference is in the eyes, but in my opinion the second photo is more appealing... I look more like I want to murder somebody in the first shot. My mouth is slightly different... barely, though. Like I said, I think it's more appealing but you could think I look better in the first one, or that I look like a complete know-it-all and I should shut up sweatdrop
If you want to be more photogenic, you have to just cam-whore. Take photos, see what you think looks best. Try to find what you think sticks out in photos of other people, and try to mimic it. Try to express something with your eyes, draw the person looking at the photo in. And don't be afraid to smile. If you want to have a great pout for camera, say the word "chew" and then don't move your mouth... but smiling is definatley a thing to look for to most humans. Our faces just tend to light up. And myspace angles are all well and good, I do them too, but some normal angles of your face wouldn't hurt. I tend to take mine from slightly above my eyesight because I hate my chin... taking photos and just seeing which angles you like will help you.
I hope that was helpful at all, feel free to tell me to shut-up sweatdrop And if you do choose to cam-whore, for whatever reason (to see if you can be more photogenic, to post more photos for more compliments, to get opinions on clothing/makeup/your pet llama and you) feel free to post them here, I know I would love to see them and I'm sure others would too.
