10 Reasons Why You Are So Ugly

As children we all hear the story about the ugly duckling – the drab, grey bird who looks so unlike his sleek, beautiful siblings.  That story has a happy ending as he changes into a beautiful swan, 10 times more beautiful than the people who mocked him.  Alternatively we read books or watch films where the ‘pretty ugly girl’ becomes beautiful over the course of the story as people learn to see her for what she really is and she learns to be confident in her own skin.

For some people these stories

give hope, for others, however, the stories are a cruel hoax.  Not all ugly ducklings are, however, swans in disguise, not all ugly girls have a pretty one waiting behind their glasses and not all geeks will get the girl in the end.

It is easy for others (often people we perceive as beautiful) to say that hankering after beauty is mere vanity.  It can be depressing to be ugly in a world of beautiful people but what can you do about it?  Beauty is, so they say, in the eye of the beholder and the chances are that you are your worst critic.  Cleopatra, one of the reputedly most beautiful women of all time was, by modern standards, extremely ugly.  She was a bald , wore a wig, had a hooked nose and fairly fat, fleshy face.  She was also witty, with a musical voice and stimulating character and the key political figures of the day fought a war because of love for her!

If there are things about your appearance that bother you the chances are that there are things you can do to change them. Here are the top 10 reasons why you are (or think you are) ugly and how to change them!

10You think you are fat

You might be a little tubby.

9You have bad skin

Acne is no fun but it gets better.

8You have bad hair

Bad hair is fixable but it looks bad while it lasts.

7Your face is not symmetrical

Ok we get it, you’re cute because your face is symetrical. Good for you. You suck.

The human perception of beauty is predicated on symmetry – simply put we believe that people with symmetrical faces are more beautiful than those whose faces are not.  Many of us believe that we have our ‘good’ side, which we prefer to be seen in photographs.  Photographic experiments show that where our portraits are manipulated to give us perfect symmetry our faces will look radically different.  People whose faces are naturally more symmetrical tend to be happy with both the right side and left side symmetry photographs whereas people with less symmetrical faces will often prefer one photograph more than the other.

Short of expensive and painful plastic surgery there is not much that you can do to make your face more symmetrical if it is not.  You can, however, play about with your photograph by using online tools to see what your face would look like if it were completely symmetrical.  This will help you to identify the features of your face with which you are most satisfied so that you can concentrate and build on these.

6You are flabby

If you’re flabby and you know it drop that doughnut.

5Your teeth are badly cared for

Bad teeth are a no-go and fixable. Do it.

4You dress badly

Dressing poorly. There’s no excuse.

3You have hygiene issues

If you can’t tell where your beard stops and your hair starts, you may have a hygiene issue.

2You have an ugly personality

No matter how pretty you are on the outside, an ugly personality just ruins it.

1You have confidence issues

Confidence is sexy and will make you appear and feel more attractive.
