For those of you who went from ugly to good looking, how did you do? Outside of eating well and exercising, what are some of your tips?

Female here. Worked out to improve my shape. Went to spa to shave my eye brows, nee hairstyle, bought a lot of clothes to figure out what fit me best (I don’t recommend buying a lot of stuff), and the most important thing was that I was more confident in myself and believed I am a lovely person.

There is a saying that goes something like this: “If beauty is all you have, it’s the first thing people see leaving.” Yes, dressing well, being fit, taking care of your teeth and having good posture all help make a great first impression. But a truly attractive person is someone that is genuinely interested in other people, demonstrates care and empathy, pays attention to the little things and is emotionally available. I’ve met people that looked great upon meeting and turned out to be mean and shallow. I’ve met others that became increasingly attractive, interesting and engaging the more we interacted. Being attractive means working in the inside as well as the outside.

The ugly part of me is on the inside and I continue to struggle to fix it. I wouldn’t worry about what others see and would focus on what they feel from being around you.

Wel fitted clothes make a huge difference. Also, dress sharply. For females, put on a smart jacket with a blouse or a dress, nice shoes, haircuts that suit your face type and maybe hair colour. Also don’t buy clothes made of cheap fabric, good quality always shows

For me, I am skinny fat so not necessarily overweight. I just don't like my facial/body structure. I have gotten called ugly before so confidence isn't to high.

Same, I sometimes get annoyed at my parents for being good looking but not having complimentary features when meshed together. Messed me up really, nothing is symmetrical and I sort of wish they never got together lol. Tried filler to balance parts of it out but I don’t recommend it at all. C’est la vie, work with what you got. It’s what’s on the inside that really matters in the end.

M here. I’m not a model by any means but I packaged myself better by enhancing what I have control over. I started dressing better, found a cologne a lot of people compliment, and found a hair and facial hair style that works for me.

Note: My clean shaven & shoulder length hair look from my high school days was not my best look. I don’t have the facial structure for it.

I’m still a little heavy, but active. I’m also 6’3” so that might automatically make me good looking in many peoples eyes. 😂

A lot of going from ugly to conventionally attractive can be achieved with change in style (hair, clothes, accessories). I personally think confidence helps sell it too, not arrogance but someone who seems comfortable in what they're wearing vs putting on high heels or a suit because it's what they think they should do. Also a lot of people will find an "average" person very attractive if they have a great personality to go with it. So hobbies, interests, passions whatever.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos on fashion/styling/ootd/lookbooks and figure out which ones fit me and my taste the best. And I mostly hang out with people who make me feel good in my own skin.

Hygiene + Self Care! As a single man this along w the diet and gym will give you an edge. Also learn yourself, a lot of people are lost despite outside appearances do necessary self healing. And develop a good sense of style, if you’re starting at zero find some influencers you would like to dress like.

F here . I second hair , eyebrows , nails , shoes , dress and classy makeup investments ! Ladies where do you buy clothes to look sharp? .. like Amal Clooney level sharp !

I learned how to put on make-up properly.

I made more money! 😉
