I kind of want rainbow-colored jewelry.
With proper sanitation procedures, I hope.

what does that mean
Denmark will be on my B tour.
Oh I get it. Poop is every word in some language. Bae is a pretty funny word for poop tho I think I'll start using both definitions.
Indeed. Arm or leg bangles though?
Rings and a choker are the main things I want. Not sure if I could pull off either, but eh.
With a name like that I expect a great deal of feces.

Ugh, my self-confidence issues really suck. Every time I see pics of hot guys, I like them (of course.) But I also get a wave of self-loathing about how out of shape I am, and how ugly I am, how big my nose is etc.. I've been dealing with depression for the last few years, but a severe lack of self-confidence is something I've been dealing with since I can remember.
Feels bad.

Bloodstone is cool. It's Venusian (green) and Martian (red) at the same time which is neat because that's like opposite and stuff, and the name 'heliotrope' sounds dope.

I like the thought of ankle bangles a lot, the more I think of it.
I think an Amethyst or Sapphire gem (my color bias is absolutely not showing) would work well for you.

There's only so much you can do to actually change your appearance, so it's not something you should focus on too strongly aside from cleaning yourself up (obligatory clean shaven face/ properly trimmed beard, well kept hair, blah blah).Either way, If people can't like you because of something as shallow as how you look, they're not worth giving a thought other than the moment it takes to put them on the shit list.

I know what you mean, though; I'm the same way when I see pics of hot dudes.
i googled 'bloodstone' and the google filled in the rest and gave me some dota 2 nerd shit
looks rad though. would definitely wear.
i think sapphire or something in a lighter shade of blue would be great. teal and all its surrounding blue shades are my favorite colors in the world.

man why you got to get crazier first water now you dissing lasagna!
I know the feeling. I keep it at bay by reminding myself of the kind of stressors that can pop up in a relationship.
Sai pls
Similar story here., though I tend to prefer medium blues like cobalt a bit more. the light blues and cyan are fantastic accenting colors though.
My dream wardrobe is 55% medium blues and Blacks, 35% Black with cyan Tron-lines 10% everything else.
I love a lot of colors though, it's just that I'm a Blunatic.
I just kind of push my feelings as deep as I can and be happy for everyone.

Yeah. I've got a ton of things I need to change. My depression has essentially crippled every single facet of my life. And that's no exaggeration. It's soul crushing.
It's hard to get motivation to do anything nowadays. I need to eat better and get into the habit of exercising.
Thanks, though I can't help but feel everyone says things like that just to be nice (which I appreciate
.) Besides, you guys don't know how many pics I took to get one that didn't make me look like a monster. :SAlso, I forgot my anti-depressants today, if you couldn't tell. But it's too late to take them right now, so I have to wait until tomorrow.
That's another thing that bothers me, actually: to maintain any semblance of happiness in my life, I'll have to take pills, every day, for the rest of my life. That, in and of itself, is a depressing thought.
It is! Just woke up. Thanks!I think it's your birthday by now, so Happy Birthday!

Heh, no problem. It does look really cool. I need to change my theme I think.
I can't link to it here anymore though, because it recently crossed over from NSFWish to full on adults only NSFW. It's really nothing much though. I like working on it, but it's pretty lame compared to so many other ones out there.

I feel the same most of the time - though I know models posing under flattering lighting or actors being shot from similarly attractive angles paint an incredibly idealised image of humanity, it doesn't help me from feeling like a hideous gnome fetus in comparison. If only those instinctive responses could just be removed entirely - knowing how unfounded your fears are doesn't dispel the feelings of inadequacy.
Though if it helps at all, I wouldn't say you had anything to worry about, appearance-wise.
Although it's nowhere near a perfect solution, at least it helps you function. Do your dosages / medications change often, or have you been on the same general prescription for the past few years?

I know how you feel and it sucks. I enjoy looking at hot guys, but sometimes they make me feel bad about myself. I have really low self confidence right now, but am hoping to turn that around.
I know it doesn't mean much coming from someone you don't know over the internet, but you are definitely cute!

It's a real shame that you're putting yourself through that, you're an attractive man but attractiveness to others is also largely based on how you project yourself, and that includes adjusting your self-esteem issues. It's so sad that low self-esteem has become practically an institution in the gay community; we all combat it on the daily and yet go out of our way to post and idolize really handsome men. We then forget that they also combat self-esteem issues, since their looks are worshipped more than any of their other features, and looks DO expire. We put so much doubt in ourselves yet perceive others as being well off or that they're not going through the same kinds of things that we are. We all do 50 takes of a selfie before finding one that doesn't offend us. I do think you can get out of your funk with enough motivation and action, perhaps through counseling or a new hobby or even something as mundane as a new wardrobe or hairstyle can give you a jump start. As someone who used to suffer with depression, I've learned that the biggest hurdle to seeking help is your own motivation. It gets so comfortable, and that put down feeling is addictive. Shut that shit down, handsome.
Seriously, what a great post. Alucard, listen to this man! We're all here to help

He's like the Nicolas Cage of video games. You can't deny he's a great actor though. He can do anything from a 50 something year old southern man to a psychopath clown.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Beauty is subjective. What you might think are features of you that are "ugly" or that you don't like, others might think the opposite. I also think that personality is more important than looks. The inside is more important than the outside. Also, if I may say this. You're not ugly from the pictures that you took. You took a selfie of yourself as the way you were at that moment. I would love to see all of those guys that people have posted pictures in here just taking regular pictures from cameras of their cellphones. Without any special lighting, without any make-up, without any camera tricks and without any photoshop. I bet most of them would look like your average joe. At least as far as some male models go. Did you see the pictures of Troy Baker I posted? Some of them are super-edited but in the first one there's a not a lot done to the image to improve his look. You can see red dots around his cheek bone and some wrinkles around the nose. His face is not entirely symmetrical. In some of the pictures I have seen of him, his face a looks a little bit titled. He's almost 40 years old, I think. He doesn't look very young anymore, or screaming youth something a lot of gays love... But I still think that Troy Baker is one of most handsome men out there. None of those porn actors can even come close to him, in my honest opinion.
Such wise words:
Very true.
This intrigues me from a sociological perspective. Not only are gender standards being set upon us from an early age, but beauty standards as well. This of course has an impact in our self worth. It's all very interesting... I can guarantee it happens to most of us the effect of "looking at cute guys makes me me feel bad about myself."
Thanks *HUGS BACK*
My housemates baked me a phallic cake. It was hilarious and awesome and tasted way better than actual dick.

Interesting topic, but I'm not sure I think "gay culture" is any more shallow than, well, human culture As a species we seem obsessed with physical beauty which is nothing but random phenotypical traits. It's objectively very dumb. And yeah I think it happens to all of us, going from "that's hot!" to "...and I don't look anything like that", lol.

True, though I think we're a bigger culprit as a group since LGBT people tend to take up a bigger portion of youth with depression or major self-esteem issues, and yet our community definitely goes out of its way to idolize the male physique with a sort of overtly sexualized flair. Considering how relatively tight knit and networked our community is I think it's kind of unfortunate. Everyone's guilty of it, and many factors pertaining to our political/social history contribute to how things are now, but I think it definitely takes a bigger toll on young LGBT people who are dealing with an extreme version of each side.
I agree with you. Such a hot look on anyone of any gender IMO.
