I'm bald, I have a big nose, two chins, crooked teeth, a pot belly, and I smell.

Serotonin · Apr 05, 2012, 02:43 PM

It's no ****ing wonder no woman wants to know me and that I am destined to be forever alone. If I was someone else I wouldn't want to date me. My attitude is mostly sardonic; if anyone speaks to me I think they must be either insane, desperate for attention from anyone, or attempting to take the piss. I really have to push myself hard to work, take any form of physical exercise, and my personal hygiene sucks very large ****. I tend to perceive most people as contrived and phony, and I really don't think this is a delusion. I tend to keep people at a distance, as I really don't like the great majority of people.

I guess I'm a bald, fat, misanthrope whose only friend is food.

I don't love people, but I do love sausages.

Apr 05, 2012, 02:50 PM

you need to work in a sausage shop so you can find other sausage loving people...

it's not how you look on the outside..it's the inside..a cliche yes but oh so true...looks fade...personality doesn't. i want a good person..don't care if they look like a troll, or goerge clooney, or what ever..if clooney is a total jerk then i wouldn't want to be around him..but if the torll is great then they win hands down.

My husband is bald and fat (and has been all the time I've known him; almost 30 years) and I'm his second wife. But he does not dislike many people he has met and doesn't lump them together as all contrived and phony; I'd think that attitude or perception alone would limit the number of people who would want to get to know you better.

If you do not want to get to know anyone else and don't care yourself, hygiene does not matter that much? It could get ugly in that you get sick from not caring for yourself but, if you like how you live, I would not seek to change that?

To me, it sounds like you are depressed. I have not heard anything yet that would make me decide you might not be someone I'd want to get to know, just that you might be harder to approach than I would choose to do the work for, just as bad hygiene implies to me that you don't choose to do enough work so you make it easier for others to approach physically.

hey, serotonin - i'm mostly bald and have crooked teeth too! i have lost the pot belly and i feel a lot better. when i lost the pot belly, i also lost some neck and my chin is more prominent. most women don't find me attractive but some do. if you smell, well, that's VERY easy to fix - a daily shower, soap, shampoo and, if you like, cologne. a big nose can be made less obvious by growing a mustache or, better yet, a goatee. i am glad that sausages make you happy but, if you need love, you're better off finding people who you like and who like you. sausages cannot love you back. and, that's what you need most - love.

I fight the depression as best I can. I am mostly better than I was, but still have the occasional relapse. I bought some shower gel today, I'm going to do what needs to be done in the morning. I'm trying.

No way, dude.

Are you honestly telling me that sausages are incapable of love?

I've been lied to and deceived.

lynn P. · Apr 05, 2012, 03:41 PM

Its fine to take an honest look in the mirror, if it causes you to make positive changes or to accept what you can't change. Most of the things you mentioned, have solutions but would take some lifestyle changes or outside help. After my own mother had a series of strokes and eventually passed away - I vowed to take care of my body, so no sausages for me lol.

Sorry to hear about your mom, my own mom died just over a year ago, so I can understand your resolve to take better care of yourself.

But you're missing out on the sausages. My favourite are simple, plain, no nonsense pork sausages, with fried eggs and chips.

It's love alright.

lynn P. · Apr 05, 2012, 04:24 PM

Thank you Serotonin for your sympathy and I'm sorry about your mom too. This is off topic but a funny story. In my quest to eat healthy, I bought these meatless hotdogs. They looked identical and smelled like a hotdog. So I cook them, put them on a bun with all the garnishes...bite into them and it was such a disappointment.

I immediately spit it out - the texture was mushy and tasted nothing like the real thing lol. I don't deprive myself completely, but just make the effort to eat healthy most of the time. I do have one weakness - I love mini pecan butter tarts.

Serotonin · Apr 05, 2012, 04:34 PM

In the UK there is a brand of vegetarian food called "Quorn". I'm not a veggie but I bought some of their artificial meat products just to discover what it was like to eat meat that wasn't meat, if you know what I mean.

I was very impressed with their fake chicken, it had the texture and flavour of the real thing, their minced beef wasn't bad either, but the sausages were just a little bit too tough, and the flavour wasn't that great either, so I had no option but to resort back to the real thing.

I'm really only about two stone overweight, and I generally eat quite healthily, but there are some things that I just will not compromise on.

Trippin2.0 · Apr 05, 2012, 05:51 PM

I'm sorry you feel so crappy. I guess I understand a bit better why you lashed out at me, and just so you know, I don't hold grudges. Don't be too hard on yourself, nobody's perfect, we all have our flaws, and maybe, just maybe if you give people a chance they could prove you wrong. Not everybody is caught up with outside appearances, and those that are, are usually shallow and not worth the time or effort.
.
Hope you start feeling better soon.

ps. If you'd rather prefer I refrain from contacting you, I'll understand and respect your wishes.

i've never tried quorn coz i always figured if i'm that hung up on meat, i might as well have the real thing...and a fake sausage? euw!

and for the record...i'm fat, ugly, old and stupid but past worrying and guess what...peeps in this hood still see what is inside, not outside and give me a loving slap upsida head when i put myself down...i'd do the same cyber to you if i knew how you'd take it but i don't so can only say...from the posts of yours i've read, you're way more loveable than you think...so long as you don't come on hear praising fake sausages any time soon

likewater · Apr 06, 2012, 09:42 AM

(((Seretonin))) the real friends you want will love you for you and not your looks. Also, most people are way to self critical. I personally never wanted a man to look like he walked off the cover of a Harlequinn Romance novel . Those men are fake. Real men are sexy. My bfriend is balding and tends to get a beer belly and is fuzzy all over like a caterpillar. His first wife always wanted him to wax all that wonderful fur. I loooove it. I love animals. I can pet him. And i lie my head on his belly like a pillow and try to get us more active and feed us more fruits and veggies because i want him to live a long long time. I know he is not my pet lol. It sounds like it here but if you met us you would know that. If you were in the the springs he would probably eat sausages with you. I dont usually eat pork, but i confess i ate one the other day. Hugs to you.

Serotonin · 05:08 PM

@ Roz:

That was a great post. I would never praise or place fake sausages above the genuine article, so you can chomp your porkies without fear.

unaluna · Apr 07, 2012, 12:17 PM

yeah well when I met Fabio he asked if he could get HIS picture taken with ME, so what does that tell ya? speaking of fake sausage...

StrongerMan · Apr 07, 2012, 03:21 PM

You'd be surprised at the number of people you think are attractive who totally hate the way they look. And others are not "all that" and they come off as movie stars in their personality. I like crooked teeth on women. I'd be irked if Jewel the singer got braces. And many women think big noses give character. I don't know anyone who likes a little button nose. When you lose weight, it comes off the face first. But only a good diet and some exercise can fix that. And many women think a bald head is cute. So don't assume what other people find attractive. Lastly, just as many people like dry, sardonic humor as do stupid toilet jokes... if not more. It's way more interesting.

lynn P. · Apr 07, 2012, 03:36 PM

When the subject of self esteem and looks come up, I often talk about JR Martinez. He was badly burned by a bomb blast as a U.S soldier in Iraq. After rehabilitating, guess where he ended up - with a major role on a Soap Opera and on dancing with the stars. When I see him, I think he's still handsome IMO ...even with the scars, no ear and no hair. He has this vibrant personality, big brown eyes and an infectious smile. So yes good looks comes in all forms and inner spirit is important. Here's his picture:

I'm bald, I have a big nose, two chins, crooked teeth, a pot belly, and I smell.

With your sense of humor, you should be able to do okay with the ladies. It's important to always take care of the basics whether looking to date or married: regular haircut, trimmed nails, shower daily, teeth brushed twice a day. These details matter. Your sense of humor should pay off too. Hang around the butcher's and maybe you'll meat a lady who likes sausages of all varieties . . .

roads · Apr 08, 2012, 12:41 AM

You forgot to add to your list that you're intelligent & sensible (both evident in your posts here) and have a sense of humor (I use your update to indicate that: He who feared he would not succeed sat still.)

Intelligence, common sense, and humor trump all the negatives--the baldness, big nose, two chins, crooked teeth, and pot belly.

But the smell ... I suspect a lot of people might have a problem with the smell. And don't blame the sausage.

daymare · Apr 08, 2012, 03:27 AM

I am sorry you feel this way. There is no way we can all transform into super models, but there are a few things we can do.

Bald? Shave your head. Many women think it's hot. Some of the hottest men I ever dated had shaved heads.

Stink? Okay... thats not a hard one. You can bathe and clean up. Brush your teeth. Don't forget behind your ears. Turn it into a routine that helps you wake up in the morning. Nothing is better than a hot shower.

Fat? Who cares. Most people are.

I think if you take those steps above, and try to find a way to develop a nicer attitude towards people your life will change 100%... if you can't be funny, be kind.

My sense of humour usually gets me into trouble, and my love of sausages is prolly responsible for my pot belly. A sausage loving lady who's bald, has a big nose, two chins, crooked teeth, and pot belly are not always easy to find, but I'm not going to give up trying.

*swoons" ...I'm not sure if I can cope with all the compliments, and the smell of fried sausage in the morning is to me like the scent of a rose to most people.

I've cut down on the sausage and egg breakfasts and have been eating a lot of all-bran and fresh fruit recently, ...I've also been forcing myself to go out jogging.

It's not pleasant, but to stay alive no-one ever said that life would be easy.

Enjoy your Easter day, PsychCentralists, and go easy on the chocolate eggs.

Ok i'll go easy on the eggs and eat a gynormous chocolate bunny. I hope he'z not hollow.
