Ugly duckling into a swan?

Do you still see yourself as the ugly duckling, or have you accepted your status as a swan?

As a gawky, gangly, gay geek in high school it has taken years to finally accept a compliment on my looks without blushing. I finally learned to say "thank you, that's so kind" instead of blushing and running away.

My cousin was NOT a pretty kid. But, at 16, she is gorgeous with a perfect Beyoncé (36-22-34) body and a cheerleader at school, and she revels in it. She is still sweet and kind, and I think the fact that she was an "ugly duckling" and knew it- her sister was gorgeous from childhood- makes her appreciate it.

We all used to laugh when grandpa would head down to the ole fishing hole, but then we wouldn't laugh when he would come back from town with some ole whore.

Never happened for me, OP.

Ugly duckling as a kid, ugly duck as a grownup.

Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY spam!

Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

R2 someone what the same with me. I think I got away with just being young before but now I'm older and have just disappeared

R3 is deranged.

And most likely ugly.

Datalounge definition of ugly: Anyone not currently juggling at least a dozen modeling gigs.

by Anonymousreply 6September 27, 2015 8:03 PM

R6-

I'm no model. I can point out my facial flaws to anyone. I'm more Karl Urban than Rob Lowe, but I'm very tall and in good shape.

The only reason I consider myself good-looking is from observation, specifically when I was younger and at gay bars. I always had guys buying me drinks, asking my friends about me (I was never a gay bar guy) and generally hitting on me to the point of discomfort. Or girls chastising me for leading on their girlfriends by not telling them I'm gay after I just spent an hour having a deep conversation with them about music, or history, or science.

I lost at least 2 boyfriends due to the discrepancy in looks. Both were super smart and funny and attractive, but hated that my outward appearance made us seem mismatched.

WTF is R3 talking about?

by Anonymousreply 8August 13, 2020 1:46 AM

It's sweet that OP thinks Beyonce has a 22" waist with 34" hips.
