I’m a guy in my late 20s, and I want to share my experiences and seek your advice regarding dating. I’ve always felt average in terms of height and appearance—often described as the "ugly duckling." During my school years, I definitely felt invisible, especially when it came to girls, who usually seemed to prefer the tall, handsome types and look down on me.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve been working on building my confidence and self-acceptance. However, I still find approaching dating to be a challenge. I’m reaching out to this community to get your thoughts and insights on a few things:
What are some strategies for approaching women?
Do you think physical appearance plays a significant role in attraction?
I’m curious if you believe personality or other traits can make up for what I perceive as a lack of traditional attractiveness.
Any experiences or advice from those who’ve felt similarly?
Thank you for any guidance you can offer! I genuinely appreciate your thoughts and look forward to learning from your experiences.
