I was always a good looking kid, but now that im getting older and my face is shaping out, I'm not that good looking. How do I get over this. I'm sick of turning on the tv and seeing models and feeling jealous. I'm a guy, what do I care?
So how do i get over being unattractive

Models are the worst people to compare yourself to. They starve themselves, and throw up before photo shoots. D: Trust me, you DON'T want to be that person.
You may think you're unattractive, but it's human nature to think yourself as inferior compared to others... You really may not be as bad looking as you think. To get over being "unattractive" you might want to change the way you take care of yourself. Change your hairstyle, style of clothing, use acne medication if acne is a cause of this "unattractiveness", shed a few pounds if necessary, or whatever. Try something new, because a little change can go a long way. =)
Best of luck to you!

Attractive people find the aging process to be the hardest because they've seen first-hand that being beautiful can be a major benefit in life, and you're obviously going to miss something you had and appreciated much more than someone who's never known what it's like to be beautiful.
With that said, looks are a fleeting commodity- no one stays beautiful forever, and therefore, they can't mean everything. I can understand jealousy but you just have to know that dwelling on that cannot do any good in the world- it will only make you miserable. There is always going to be someone to compare yourself to- and no matter who you are, there's always going to be a prettier or stronger or more intelligent person out there.
Just because you don't think you are attractive anymore doesn't mean other people don't or won't. And phsyical attraction is such a short-term component of relationships in the end-- it might get you attention but will definitely not keep someone interested if that's all there is.
Most people in this world are not drop-dead gorgeous but that should, in no way, stop you from being happy and having a wonderful life- attractive or not.
Don't focus on other people's looks- look for things you admire about people outside of physical appearance...this will help you from dwelling on your own.
Finally, beauty is completely in the eye of the beholder- I know so many girls that would have Vince Vaughn over Brad Pitt anyday, and Brad is supposed to be among the best looking men in the world.

It's a deadend answer to quit fixating on your appearence and give more consideration to other sides of you.
But, have you noticed how the dullest, simplest, most obvious things make all the difference between happy and not so much?
Increase your net worth. This is what you put into your life and what you know about yourself that makes you appreciate every part of you. Signs of aging are horrifying for any one of us. It's what tools you have to handle it. When you excercise, excel at your job and give out love to the world you receive a strong response, which gives you incredible inner strength, that makes all signs of age seem too little, too unimportant and too imperceptive to begin with.

You didn't state your age, but part of going through the teens and entering adulthood is comparing ourselves with others - good or bad. Believe me, it is true that most gals check out a guy's personality more than just his looks: "don't judge a book by it's cover." It takes time to get used to how our looks change as we get older, but a guy who feels good about himself regardless of whether he is a hunk or not is the guy that will appeal to the girls.

you should care guy or gal. We all want to feel attractive it builds our self esteem. I would say make changes like hair color or cut? Do you wear glasses? If so look into getting contacts. Change the way you dress. There are many things you can do to make you look more attractive, trust me!

develop your personality...and although you are unattractive still do things to fix up....as long as you are not hideous (with gross untamed acne...no fashion sense....just gross untamed unkept) and you have a great personality you should doo well in the world of dating....girls tend to go for personality...and remember dont be tooo nice..girls love assholes...
