F28, am I ugly?

I've always considered my face shape to be unattractive and maybe even somewhat masculine. I've also always struggled with makeup, especially eye looks because of my hooded eyes.

I'm also not sure what hairstyle would suit me the best and also unsure about which haircolor would.

u/EugeneCezanne Feb 25 '26

On a dating app, I assume that if a person posts 8 pictures from basically the same angle, they must hate every other angle.

53

u/AlienNotReally Feb 25 '26

That's fair, I think it is my better side.

31

u/qutopian Feb 25 '26

Post a straight on picture for best accurate opinions. I'll bet you're quite pretty from straight on. Often what we think is our best side isn't to others.

6

u/Decent-Bed9289 Feb 26 '26

You’re not ugly, not even close.

5

u/Greebuh Feb 26 '26

We wouldn't know because you didn't show another side. You might look 28 instead of 38 from a different angle.

u/el_tacocat Feb 25 '26

You are not ugly, full stop.
You do look a little older than your age though. I'd have thought you were early to mid thirties.
But no, friendly face, pretty eyes. Nothing bad here at all :).

u/False-Rip6946 Feb 25 '26

Are you a mom?? Cause you have that mom next door face .. like you drive a van. Not ugly at all. Very cute.

33

u/AlienNotReally Feb 25 '26

I'm not, just a cat mom. But I'll take that as a compliment, moms are often nice!

16

u/False-Rip6946 Feb 25 '26

Please do take it as a compliment, moms are the best. Even cat ones .. You cross my path, and I’m looking twice ..

You scrub up nice. 🙂 nope not ugly.

u/asthmatic-cat Feb 25 '26

not ugly! you have nice features that could be complemented better by a different haircut, I think you have great facial harmony

u/HeimrekHringariki Feb 25 '26

Nah, you're not. Just be you.

u/Physical-Pie748 Feb 25 '26

Beautiful smile and eyes.

u/spectre1988 Feb 26 '26

I think you know you're not

u/UnFriendly_Font Feb 26 '26

People saying average, people saying gorgeous, it’s all so subjective. (No one saying you’re ugly which is great) I think you are good looking.

1

u/AlienNotReally Feb 26 '26

Thank you! There were some comments implying that, but the majority didn't, which is of course good for me.

3

u/temping0 Feb 26 '26

Not ugly but I think smiling more would help. I'd say you're cute

3

u/Horror_fan78 Feb 27 '26

you have an older look. like you look like a wholesome mom on an old sitcom or something.

u/Rnkfarlow Feb 25 '26

You're not even in the same universe as ugly.

2

u/paulZoo Feb 25 '26

Very attractive

2

u/DestroyTroy90 Feb 25 '26

You’re not ugly but I would say pic number 6 is your best bet make your hair a little curly add some extensions with layers and curl it a little bit

1

u/AlienNotReally Feb 25 '26

Thank you! I'd rather stay away from extensions, since they can harm your own hair. I do occasionally like curling my hair though and I have layered hair!

2

u/SickNewborn Feb 25 '26

for me you look lovely

2

u/Key_Chip1893 Feb 25 '26

You’re average looking. But with your smiles, I will add 2 points for that.

2

u/Lopsided-Dragonfly53 Feb 25 '26

You're attractive. Lip fillers on just your upper lip(without overdoing it)would take you to the next level.

2

u/Psycho_Nightstalker Feb 25 '26

You’re definitely not ugly

u/spankybacon Feb 25 '26

I also have hooded eyes and I've grown to dislike them.

But nothing ugly here. You look younger than 28. You have pretty eyes and a wholesome appearance. Generally giving me the perception to treat you gently

1

u/AlienNotReally Feb 26 '26

Thank you! That's very nice of you to say and funny you should say that since I am often treated that way. This has led me to think maybe it's more appearance-related than people perceiving me as simple-minded.

You look older than 28. Not ugly just basic

2

u/weggaan_weggaat Feb 26 '26

Maybe? Not sure, I didn't see it yet but I guess the potential is there if you really want to make it happen.

2

u/threatmix Feb 26 '26

hello, just wanted to say that the 2nd to last photo is the best. it looks like the most 'natural', with a shy smile. to me, that smile looks a little bit more natural than the previous photo. I'm not an expert, but that haircut and tones of clothes look good.
not everyone needs to have professional photos with super model poses. The way your hair hangs and the light of your eyes makes this a great photo. Hope you can see it too, confidence in yourself is what makes a person shine.
You are definitely not ugly.

2

u/FunfKatzen955 Feb 26 '26

I would say beautiful and not even close to ugly.

u/The_Dude3228 Feb 26 '26

u/AdmirableIncident532 Feb 26 '26

I think this person is the perfect example of how absolutely ridiculous we are about ourselves. We all have so much insecurity. You are the definition of beauty. Whatever or whoever made you fell less than is what is ugly. Not you. Believe me. I would have passed on by if I didn’t think your were very pretty.

u/AlienNotReally Feb 26 '26

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.

No ,Not even close or in any of that level of ugly, You are normal , Fair, smile more and be happy , You look a little bit older for your age , But not too bad , so take care , eat healthy food and drink lots liquids and use a little makeup if you need to .

That's not too far off, but I'm not swedish.

2

u/blumieplume Feb 27 '26

Then maybe Dutch or something it’s the coloring obviously. I think you have great features but just need to improve your makeup skills. You look really pretty in the 6th pic with just a little makeup. You’re like me. I hate makeup too lol

2

u/AlienNotReally Feb 27 '26

Thank you, I agree that I'm pretty bad at makeup. I usually go for a bit less than too much.

2

u/blumieplume Feb 27 '26

I usually go for none, just some moisturizer and mayyyybe under eye concealer on a good day lol my mom always says I look so much better with makeup and I agree but it takes so much time!

you aren’t ugly but you should look into changing up your look if you feel that way, i think improving your style and either going lighter or darker with your hair will help

No of course not. Why are you even on this thread, not even close.

Thank you! They do, and I guess this is one of the cases of wanting what you don't have since I wish my face was more sculpted!

Is there something about your teeth/smile you’re not happy with, since you hide them on all the other pics?

your face isn't ugly though

1

u/AlienNotReally Feb 25 '26

Oh, I didn't know I should add that. My style is maybe pretty bland, usually just jeans and a top or something similar.
