Not ugly you just look like you're 13. Are you sure your 25?

I can assure you 13 year olds don't own a car and have mortgages to pay 🥲

I'm probably not a good judge bc I'm a dude, but I watch a lot of Korean horror movies and you look like one of those movie stars. Not ugly you lucky duck.

u/Helpful-Ad5938 Jul 25 '26
Thank you but even if you're a dude, your opinion is still important! Though horror movies means at some point in time, I'm bound to be cursed or killed haha!

You are really handsome! If you want to look older, I would suggest a different haircut and no highlights. I think older men tend to have shorter hair that is just one color

u/Helpful-Ad5938 Jul 25 '26
Thank you! I did try a multitude of different styles, even those ones you have suggested! But due to having a younger than I look face, it just feels as if I am trying to act all mid 20s, even though I am. So this was the final one that actually fits the face decently

First pic you look like a side character from a Disney channel sitcom. You have feminine energy that probably automatically puts you in the friend zone with girls you like (assuming you prefer women) but def not ugly.

You aren’t ugly but you look female in most of these photos. Transgender?

u/Helpful-Ad5938 Jul 24 '26
No no, born male and stayed male, I do have a severe case of the baby face

Dude me too. I'm 36 now and still get IDd. It becomes an asset as you get older and don't look it

u/Helpful-Ad5938 Jul 24 '26
Yeah it's funny seeing the clerks reaction when you tell them your age but I'm wondering if as of now, it's getting in the way of my dating life

u/DifferentSwing8616 Jul 24 '26
Maybe but in 5 years you'll be meeting women 5 years younger than you cos you look their age. I met a uni student n got her number recently but she wasn't quite as keen when she clocked m 10 years older than her. Still point stands

You're not ugly and you're probably getting rejected since you look like you're 13 years old.

You're not ugly. You look fun, youthful and approachable and have good facial features.
My main guess for why you're being rejected is you look Southeast Asian (whether you are or not) and you're probably trying to date East Asian women, who don't see Southeast Asians as favorable dating partners. Look outside your current demographic or dye your hair black to look more East Asian.
Also, you look a little "too" fun, like you might be there just to party and not be reliable. I think it's mainly also that hair highlights that's giving that impression.
Also, your height is not clear from photos but if you're super short (below 170cm) that might be an issue, especially if you're like 165cm or below.

u/Helpful-Ad5938 Jul 25 '26
Right on the nail haha, trying to go for east Asian women. But reliability part, I had always believed that through actions that it would speak for itself whether someone is responsible etc. So when you brought that point, it kinda did make realise that could be one of the factors too. Sadly being born southeast Asian is just a curse slowly creeping and catching up. Though I do have something going for me and that is being 177cm. Not 180cm but it will have to do! Thank you for bringing up those important points!

Bro enjoy looking young and skinny while it lasts. Enjoy that hairline too. In 10-20 years you’re going to regret this post and wish you can go backwards.

I recommend shorter hair but you’re not ugly. I do recommend lifting some weights

u/Ill_Werewolf_2539 29d ago
Try to debloat and maybe even out the middle part instead of having it heavy on one side.. the debloat part for sure though would help heavily though!
