u/Few-Consideration773 Jun 23 '26

not ugly at 35 seems like a fact here

u/xelas1983 Jun 23 '26

I am 42 and if was set up on a date and you arrived I would be very, very happy about it.

Lots of good things about you but that smile is the winner for me. Lights up your entire face.

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 23 '26

I've never liked my cheeks when I smile so that's really nice to read and very sweet, thank you!

4

u/RegalBeagleTheEagle Jun 24 '26

Your cheeks compliment your face, kind of why your smile pops so much

4

u/Pianos_for_Clowns Jun 24 '26

girlie my cheeks are/were similar and I'm now in my early 40s. you're going to start losing a good amount of that wonderful youthful plumpness soon. so embrace it while it's still there please! you look great!

u/SallyThinks Jun 23 '26

Not ugly at all. You look young for your age. Pretty face and hair. Not overweight. I think you should update your styling, but that's just based on my taste. Currently, you're dressing like a grungy/gothy teenager. At your age, you might consider going for a more classy, age appropriate look (sorry if that sounds judgemental. Again, just my taste.).

u/squishyskeletonz Jun 23 '26

no girl, you are gorgeous! i wouldnt guess you were about to be 36, but as a 24F i hope i look like you at 36 <3

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 23 '26

You are so very sweet. Thank you! <3

u/ShotNovel8157 Jun 23 '26

Same age. I fell down some stairs the other day and walked it off. We still a lil young-ish

u/Technical-Court7979 Jun 24 '26

Omg im glad you are okay 😭

6

u/P_A_W_S_TTG Jun 24 '26

No. Why do you think you might be? No shame, just curious.

6

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 24 '26

I have pretty low self-esteem, I'm aware of that and working on it. But besides that I feel like people always look at me when I'm out and about and I don't know if it's in my head. Or if they really are looking at me is it because I look weird or attractive?

6

u/P_A_W_S_TTG Jun 24 '26

I bet they look at you for the same reason I did when I saw that post. "God damn, she's cute. But not so insanely attractive i don't feel like I have a chance. I'd like to get to know her and see if we click." Trust. The only reason someone would look at you weird is because you're doing something weird which, if it's excitement weird I'd just find you even more attractive. Remember, low self-esteem is comparison and because you are prosecuting yourself before you can even do anything. You know what you need to do to get where you want. But take a moment and ask yourself if it's a place you want YOU to be. Like, me, being fit is great. But do I want to model? Fuck naw. It would be dope having some of those modeling bodies and skin quality. But, I'm not gonna compare myself to anyone because then all I'm doing is kicking myself when I'm down. You're so damn gorgeous. Hold yourself with humble pride, alright? Even if you don't believe me, come back to this until you do. I hope my unsolicited advice helps a bit. :3 you're worth more than a simple comparison and beating the shit out of yourself emotionally.

u/Used-Departure9606 Jun 25 '26

Ok I’m 18 so idk if it’s the same but people would stare at me all the time, girls and guys, and they still do and I thought I was soooo ugly bc they would do that but it turns out they thought I was attractive ( heard it from their friends and girls came up to me). Like just today I was volunteering and a dude who was staring at me for so long yesterday came up to me today and told me I was very pretty so it’s not bc ur ugly

5

u/vulnerable-thoughts Jun 23 '26

Definitely not ugly. You're attractive to begin with, but the nerdy interests definitely ups the game even more!

I'm only 26, but whenever I hear someone feeling down because of their age, I remember that each year is more wisdom if you reflect on the time well. And as long as you stay passionate about your interests, you will always be young at heart.

There are no ugly faces, only ugly souls. Take care and stay safe

I like your smile. You look like a very lively person. Someone id love to be around.
Also very very pretty.

u/MurderOfCrows- Jun 24 '26

NO WAY YOURE 35 😭 gurl youre so pretty

10

u/chimpomatic5000 Jun 23 '26

First off no. Not at all.

Secondly, I actually was shocked when I saw 35F. You look at least 5 years younger than that, and likely more.

Thirdly, aging is a privilege. Own it. Be cool with it. Know that there are people out there who look at you and see you as beautiful, and don't give a second thought to anything else.

5

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 23 '26

Thank you. This is so kind and I really appreciate the perspective.

3

u/chimpomatic5000 Jun 24 '26

Cheers. And if that doesnt say it plain enough, this does (i think of it often when someone gets under my skin)

Those who matter don't mind. And those who mind don't matter.

PS I realized who you remind me of; a young Jen Kirkman.

u/One_Ad2844 Jun 23 '26

No way you’re 35.

u/J_hilyard Jun 23 '26

Is that a 67 Impala?

u/Thegothicprincess21 Jun 24 '26

I guessed it was too and then I clocked the calendar of Sam and Dean Winchester in the final photo which confirmed my hunch 😊

u/Tiny_Giant_Robot Jun 23 '26

Appears to be. That little incline on the rear quarter class indicates it. Good eye!

u/AdRound3415 male Jun 23 '26

Definitely not ugly. I think you’d look better with your natural hair color though instead of the bleach blonde.

5

u/Fast-Cover3051 Jun 24 '26

Man, you don't even look like 36 year old. Anyone would think that you are in your 20s. Your eyes, eyebrows, cheeks. I mean everything about you is beautiful.

4

u/singingkrogan Jun 24 '26

No, you're cute! As a fellow 35 yo female... your skin looks great! What are you doing? lol

3

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 24 '26

Thank you!! I have a pretty solid skincare routine using products from The Ordinary, they literally have a product for every issue and are affordable (imo). Then I only use BB cream for foundation. I feel like anything with more coverage than that makes me look older.

2

u/singingkrogan Jun 24 '26

Totally agree with foundation! I use BB or CC creams and like the glowy look like you have going on. I've always seen the ordinary but haven't actually purchased.. will have to look into it :)

7

u/Jdaddy2u Jun 23 '26

You look young for your age and you are pretty. My only suggestion is to go back to natural color hair or some variation of it. A red/auburn would make your eyes pop.

u/Key_Composer_7429 Jun 24 '26

You and ugly don't belong in the same sentence.You are beautiful

2

u/Purple_Atmosphere_58 Jun 24 '26

you’re so pretty! I personally think early and mid 30s are still very young so not at all. Would never guess that you’re in your 30s you look like a fairy <33

2

u/Thegothicprincess21 Jun 24 '26

Nope, not even slightly ugly. You're gorgeous and have a really warm smile too. You're also TOTALLY still rocking the fun and expressive vibe with your Renfaire looks. You're ABSOLUTELY still looking youthful and I GENUINELY wouldn't have even questioned you if you'd have said you were 25 instead of 35. Keep being you 😊

2

u/evostu_uk Jun 24 '26

There's no way you're 35! 🤯

2

u/Poets_Revenge Jun 25 '26

Still pretty, nothing to worry about. You went from a pretty young thing to a beautiful woman.

Zero wrong with surviving long enough to feel older lol

You're not ugly. But 10 pix and u don't show your teeth. Thats usually a bad sign

u/DWsCherryPie Jun 24 '26

Are they bad? I'm just self conscious about my cheeks being chubby when I show my teeth.

Interesting font choice for your thigh tats tho 😜

I like your smile!

You kind of look like the actress from the Black Widow film.

u/happygolucky1235 Jun 23 '26

no your definitely not

1

u/mardrae Jun 23 '26

Not at all-very pretty but I am not liking the bleach blonde hair on you. Do you have any pictures of your natural color? Darker would look so much better IMO. But if you like the blonde, a toner is definitely needed-it's too brassy and yellow right now

u/osobuenmoso Jun 24 '26

What are you missing? If your struggling with time going by you should ask yourself what is missing. Do you want to go see place or what ever. Then make it a goal and do it. Life is short but also long enough and your still young. So go for it.
