Default Re: Dealing With Being Unattractive

I didn't write this:

I think it
is your own thinking and behaviour about your looks which is the key. Now
not everything will work on everyone and perhaps suggestibility is the
doorway here, but I think it goes beyond that. To give an example, a woman
I know here told me a story about a guy she dated for a year or two who she
described as scrawny, bald, short, nothing to look at but who was the
sexiest guy she ever met. He was always, continuously spouting off at the
mouth in the most sexual, provocative, lusty way and her and all her friends
were totally turned on by him. They were on the one hand embarrassed
because he was constantly talking this way but it excited the hell out of
them. I think the example you give about (if I remember correctly) Voltaire
who said something like "Give me ten minutes to talk away my ugly face and I
will bed the Queen of France!" is more accurate. I think that we have all
had the experience of meeting someone that perhaps we had an initial
negative reaction to (often you hear stories about men and women who meet,
hate each other and end up lovers) but that as we got to know them we liked
them. And I think all women to varying degrees respond to what they sense
and feel is inside a person, not only their looks.
