So I used to be a pretty good-looking dude. I was married to a gorgeous woman, had confidence for days, and boxed for over a decade — until I broke my nose multiple times. Then I got into a bad accident that messed up my face even more. I spent two years in a wheelchair, got hooked on pain meds, and that addiction took over my life. Years of snorting and smoking drugs completely destroyed my nose, and I ended up needing full dental implants.
Fast-forward — I’ve been clean and sober for over a year now. I’m in great shape, work out all the time, and get Botox to fix some of the nerve damage in my face. When I look in the mirror, I actually feel good about myself again… until I see old photos. Then it hits me how much I’ve changed.
I’m not fishing for compliments, just asking for honest feedback. Where do I stand now, looks-wise? I’m a concrete worker and a roughneck — I can handle the truth.

Ps. When it comes to dating women I completely understand that looks not everything women date goofy looking guys simply because of their personalities and Charisma is something I haven't i just want to know where I stand as far as first impressions go.
