No. If you make the assessment that you want to be skinny while you are objectively not in need of being skinnier, you are still wrong.

Likewise with the want for a smaller nose. You are unable to form an objective assessment.

So while you can think you are ugly, in the abstract, and call such thinking an opinion and be OK with it, as soon as you start mentioning your concrete wants, you show lack of objectivity.

Plus, by posting the picture and soliciting male opinion on the ugliness, you probably believed the their opinion on your looks is somewhat more important than yours.

If you want to be extra precise, though, you need to rephrase the question - you need to ask how guys react to women who are not objectively ugly but perceive themselves as ugly.

I do not know the answer to that question, but if I were to imagine myself in the position of a hypothetical guy dealing with such a woman, I would leave immediately, because the neediness that would come from this sort of arrangement would not be something that I would look forward to suffering through.
