Honestly, if you want to prove how ugly you are, you should have chosen a worse picture than that!
I’m actually surprised how a simple hair cut and a trimming of your beard did to enhance your appearance. You’re cute. So stop worrying about how ugly you are because you’re obviously- well, not.
Normally I would‘t comment on a person‘s appearance regardless whether or not they look nice because I do think a person’s visage should not be important enough to bear mention. So unless you’re compensating for a bad personality or... something, stop putting such emphasis on the way you look! Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :

Thor, have you considered your geographical location as a possible cause of your apparent inability to get dates?

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
If I had to guess, Thor, I'd chalk it up to your...well, for lack of a better word, your vibe. I would expect that you just don't *feel* like someone that the women you'd be interested in would like to date. I've never met you, so I can't say for sure, but maybe you give off a feeling of neediness or desperation. Neither of those attract people, as a general rule. Maybe you just come off as a warm cuddly friend type, I don't know.
Posted by Hi (Member # 5289) on :
Rarely does lack of dates have anything to do with your appearance directly. I've seen people that are much, much less attractive get tons of dates. I've seen people who are attractive get no dates at all. It's just how you present yourself, confidence (especially. Which people who think they're ugly appear to lack ) and the *effort* you put into getting a girl most of all. You can't just expect a date to fall into your lap. It's unrealistic.
My brother for instance, everytime I mention my him to a new friend they would gush about how good looking he is. I know a a couple of people who have developed nearly obsessive crushes on him, but he appears to oblivious to it (I never mention it to him). However, at eighteen he only has two dates in his life. He's shy and has a very "don't touch me" kind of vibe to him. Those two girlfriends he had, they actually asked him out.
Maybe it's none of those reasons I've listed above. Maybe you're just unlucky. Well, either way, I hope you find the right girl. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Okay, here are answers:
1) Kama hasn't had a boyfriend because she's picky, not because men aren't interested.
2) Thor hasn't had a girlfriend lately because he's at the age where women begin to be attracted to self-confidence and accomplishment, and he hasn't had much of either, recently.
My advice to both:
1) Continue to be picky, but not a perfectionist. 2) Lower your sights a bit. Women -- even the loveliest -- don't demand the kings of the Earth, but they ARE attracted to men who are visibly working towards their goals. Unless you start working much harder (also an option), you might want to consider picking up a smaller set of short-term goals (a more realistic option).

Yeah. I haven't really had long sustained periods of super steady self confidence these last two years, this whole poverty thing is wearing me down. It was a lot easier to deal with in my 20's, and now that life has just dawned on my 30's, it's wearing me down. It's a beast I must conquer.

Ahhh, martha. This brings us back to the poverty thing, If I was a jetsetter, I could be set to Jet to massachusetts at the drop of a hat, but now I'm not sure my truck would make it. I'm resourceful, I'll think of something. Thank you, sweetheart.

My Vibe has always worked for me, but I will admit, the whole Superman/Christ syndrome has been a newer wrinkle that's popped up over the last 5 years. Neediness? Maybe. Desperation? No. I'm just the noisy broken spoke. Someone who is desperate is most likely to settle for less than they reall desire, need or want, and at this point, I'm about as stubborn as a mountain on this subject. I know what I want and I'll hold out til I get it (though I may whine a bit). If we could just get this BAND thing working, I could parlay the NEEDINESS thing into a positive. I make no arguements about needing attention. I love it. It's wondy. ...but I do feel I do many things that deserve proper attention.

Thanks. I like to believe that there really is someone out there for everyone, and that everyone who looks for love, everyone who believes in love and everyone who has faith in love will find it.
What ever path GOD has laid out for me I will take as my fate. Jesus was His Greatest Son and he got captured, tortured and crucified. If I go the rest of my life without a girl, it won't kill me. It'll just wound me greatly.

I don't think you should project so much upon the 'girl' part (of lack therein of...) of your once and future life. Girl and Money seem to be important status items to your self-esteem, Economy and economics of desire etc. This is ideology and one which you seem to want to engage as a christian martyr - when in fact what might be more appropriate is a closer look at the role of pride in your calculus - or at least in the results of the calculus. You seem to me to be a really good illustrator and excellent colourist...you should be painting murals - outside - taking advantage on natural textures and the human context of the street. The computer's driving you nuts Thor - no girls here - just desire plunges into infinite regress - the kids love it - the new cults need it - but you, so full, are getting emptied out baby --- I can hear the air hissing - you have got to get moving.

Posted by martha (Member # 141) on :
I think what mondescribing is a conclusion I came to last year:
I had had enough of breaking hearts and having mine broken, flinging emotions around carelessly, dating people because they were there, not because I needed someone. Finally I arrived at a point where I stopped dating: I spent a lot of time introspecting, writing, finding alternate outlets for my passions. It was the first time in seven years that I'd been without a boyfriend or girlfriend.
And I quickly became happy with my situation, learned to enjoy solitude, and stopped wishing I had someone.
Which is just where I was when I unexpectedly fell in love, and am still in love, the longest I've been in love with anyone in my life.
So don't harp on it, think about other things, and the girl may come along when you least expect her. Or not, but at least you'll find yourself along the way.

Posted by Geoffrey Card (Member # 1062) on :
Noemon is relaying all of these posts through a dog secretary.
Thor, I understand your confidence problem I was raised in a very positive environment, in which I knew, beyond question, that I was intelligent, creative, and valuable. Plus, I have an excellent pedigree. Yet once I stepped into the outside world, no deeply-held knowledge of my intrinsic worth could explain to me why lots and lots of people didn't want to be my friend. And there were LOTS and LOTS of people who would rather tease me than do just about anything else. I came to expect that nothing I was or did could ever possibly impress anyone else, and that people disliking me would be the rule, while earning friends would be the rare exception.
This in contrast with my wife, who grew up in a much more negative environment, and was forced to fight for every shred of self-worth she has. Once she left home, she found herself much more capable of building large groups of friends and impressing people with her exceeding coolness, even despite the fact that she is naturally much more shy than I am.
So, what does that mean? Happy childhood = no friends? I doubt it, because there are plenty of stories that go the other way. In truth, there are way too many factors feeding into a human's level of self-confidence to fully define them all.
A lot comes down to being distinct. Being weird. The weirder you are, the harder it is to fit in, no matter how valuable a person you might be. We're all weird to some degree or another, but some people manage to make a stronger connection to the common human experience than others do. The stronger that connection — the more "grounded" you are — the better chance you have of finding a common ground with others, and building confidence in your ability to connect. Otherwise, we're all restricted to small or tiny subcultures of likeminded folk.
I've noticed that since the time you first arrived here, Thor, your posts have grown increasingly "normal" and comprehensible. Your opinions, outlook, and style are still totally unique, but at the same time, you're able to connect with people on a human level that you weren't able to back when you were challenging me to games of Risk. I think that's really valuable, because now you have the tools to really affect and change us with who you are, while before, you mostly just caught looks of strange fascination.
I don't know you in person, so I can't offer you any real counsel that would help you in real life. But just realize that the things you have confidence in — your intelligence, creativity, etc — are the things that people WILL like about you, once they get to know you. It took me a while to realize that my wife really does appreciate all my good qualities, even though thousands of people before her rejected me without even looking at them. You know a lot of people here at Hatrack who appreciate yours too. Even some who saw them through your most incomprehensible phases. So, you've got proof. It does happen. There are places where you fit. You just have to find those opportunities in real life
And you are NOT ugly, so give yourself a break. And even more importantly, you're better-looking than your friends.

Wowzers. Have I mentioned how much I love my Hatrack family? All you kids and even you adults are so kind, caring and filled with wisdom, you lift me up and you lighten my burdenous load.
One of the direct side effects of my loneliness has been to moan outloud about how lonely I am, and how much I would love a girl. This has allowed me to direct some of the more serious stress from a more serious problem...
--->"Crapcrud! I need a Job!"
...to my love, focus and romantization of love, girls, relationships, and the sweet, sweet kiss of a good woman.
This is good in a few ways.
One - It allows me to pour all of my heart into my songs, my poetry, and my writing.
Two - The screenplay I've been working on right now is about a guy who lost his true love and has been miserable without her. So my real life yearning feeds right into the screenplay and the Character is living in me and my mind. I feel his total loneliness and desire and need for true love and he feels mine.
The negative side effect -
People get tired of you moaning and whining about wanting, needing love, (unless you are very creative and comedic about it).
Hatrack allows me to spill my guts, and then usually you guys hand me my guts back all new and improved.
- Raia -
I pass to you what I give to myself, that if we have faith in Love, Love will have faith in us. If we reward Love, Love will reward us. If we give to Love, Love will give to us.
No matter how long it takes, patience, love and understanding are the things we must learn and live with.
- Geoffery -
That was one of the coolest, nice-est posts I've ever read at Hatrack. It's weird because I've always pictured us as an Ender/Bean type two-sides-of-the-coin parallel. You having a great strong family, strong straing and great breeding, me having to wade through the worst of the world, both attempting to get to the same place.
I think you hit a personal philosophy of mine, be as cool, kind and nice as possible, and then allow people to respond and gravitate towards you.
This doesn't always work and it hasn't worked much for me in the last 2 years.
I don't want anyone to think that I am exactly like the persona I aura out here at Hatrack. In real life, I am great at listening, great at maintaining respectful conversation, making sure that everyone is included and that all people and opinions are respected. I'm much more funny than serious.
...but...
here at Hatrack, something happens, something about writing brings out the THOR in me, the hammer swinging, let's discuss the issues that will save and change the world, here I am allowed to take out all my frustrations on the politicos of the world that I read, see and hear on TV or in the Newspaper or on the Radio.
Here I'm allowed to blow off all steam and let it all out. And that has me coming off like a BIG OLD JERK sometimes.
quote: There are places where you fit.
That is what I am trying to find. My place in the world, where do I belong, and what can I do to improve all around me.
I'll be a bit of extra batty until I find this, and finding my niche has been tough, I've always been weird, or different, but it used to be easier to be more entertainingly sociopathic, now that I'm a 31 year old manchild, I stand out like Muhammed Ali at a Klu Klux Klan rally.
I think the hardest thing for me has been growing up, because it forces you to grow up and play by the already set rules, where a big part of me really wants to be Peter Pan til I die and doesn't understand why everyone doesn't understand this.
I've had serious, serious family issues my whole life, and I've usually be given a GREAT, GREAT group of friends to make up for this. From the kids in elementary and Jr. High who were all a pack of geniuses that helped me build worlds through all of our Dungeons and Dragons, Action Figure wars or stryraphone kinght battles, to my Army of Footballing friends (4th grade through Freshman year in College) to my best friends from Highschool, College and my Casket Carriers now.
I had about as good as adventures as any highschool kid could have with my gang. The Gang
And my Early to middle 20's were an Amazing Epic Journey of Mythology with my Boys
As the King of America and the World's Greatest filmmaker, what am I going to do?
The first thing is to say thank you, to everyone and give an extra special thanks to Geoffery and Tom Davidson who wrote something that touched me greatly.
Tom Davidson, Slash the Berserker may win Hatrack's popularity contest, but I really thing you are the best Cool Big Brother here. You are a great writer, and I want you to know that some of your words from the post here have made it into the suicide song.
I love you guys.

I hope it's the sort of not feeling well that leads to a little extra time reading in bed, a touch of melancholy broodiness (followed by a newfound hopeful optomism), and a lot of pampering from Mrs. Noemon.

Let's not kid our selfs, it's influenciel, and a nice thing to have. But know that I would rather (if I have ever have a son) my son be a good man like you seem to be, then good looking and great with women. Listen to your fellow Hatrack members, it's obvious that in truth you are the farthest thing from ugly. You are beatiful on higher levels.

No Banna, I'm definitely not Raia, unless we're both Cedonyms, of course.
I actually meant "meatspace", meaning corporial existence. I like your dogfood commercial interpretation though!

Well, I dunno... *checks arms and legs* nope, I definitely think I'm me...
Noemon, do you have long curly red hair?

I think I will use meatspace in at least one conversation today and see how it is taken...
Incidentally Thor, I don't think you are particularly ugly or extraordinarly handsome, just ordinary like most of the rest us are in the looks department. (Except for Ralphie and Jeniwren) There isn't anything wrong at all with looking ordinary. Being at either extreme of the spectrum has its own set of difficulties that ordinary people don't experience. We had a a thread on that a while back!

I may be wise, creative and a genius, but I really want to be beautiful!

She's just using you for your ticket, man.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Maybe your craving for beauty is why your art is beautiful?

I wish more women would. My ticket's underused as it is.

Raia-
I know exactly how you feel. I had never had a date or a kiss or anything until I met my husband (no he wasn't my husband then ) and I was 17 when that happened. But after I married him, I realized how glad I was that I can honestly say that I've only shared those experiences with one guy, and he with me. I guess what I'm sayin' is, please, PLEASE don't let your desire to have a relationship make you too anxious to get in one...it maybe that having to wait for a special person will be the best thing that ever happened to you.
SBS-
You say you're very funny...is it possible that your jokes are directed at yourself? Sometimes a very funny guy will put himself down without really meaning to, but that is a HUGE turn-off. Maybe that's not your situation. Just a thought.

Thanks Twoson, I app...wait! Wrong nick! Ooooh, curses, foiled again!
Seriously though, no Raia, I used to have long brownish blonde hair, until I decided that I was looking a bit too much like Ben Franklin, and cut it short a few years back.
