Nope. [Cute as a button](http://malkavia.fotopic.net/c42419.html). A fat and goofy button, but a button nevertheless. ---

With Korean moms, I used to be considered very handsome. Now…40 lbs heavier…my mileage varies. [My wife and I](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v694/kunsok/tm3.jpg) at a friend’s wedding. ---

Okokok.

I even hosted it all by myself, too. Picked a random site from one of the people who posted in this thread. ---

I don’t know. I’ve been told i’m ugly and told i’m attractive by several different women so I am not really sure. I guess it depends on a variety of factors like posture, how much attention I pay to hygiene on that day, etc. I don’t have a camera so I can’t upload pictures, but if I did I would. Anyone want to paypal me $20 so I can buy a camera? I’ll spend it on rotgut whiskey instead but its the thought that counts. ---

OK, I think I figured out the uploading-pictures thing. This is [me](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/taxi78cab/64397de7.jpg) at a formal thing I went to for work and a slightly older but still good [picture.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/taxi78cab/8e34d61e.jpg) These aren’t my favorite pictures, but they’re pretty good. ---

Somehow I missed your pic the first time around, **EmeraldGrue** , so allow me to rectify that now and tell you that you’re extremely pretty. “Belle-laide”? C’est pas vrai du tout. Tu est bien jolie. ---

Yeah. I am. Lousy Tetracycline teeth, crooked on the bottom, kind of weird skunk stripes of gray in beard, fat and gathering spare chins with remarkable speed. Can’t say as I am aware that anyone looks me over, or gives me a look at all. -shrug- I’ll live. I’m 42, and feel like I’m ok on the inside. Medical science has already refused to make use of me. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-ugly/289132.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-ugly/289132.md?page=10)
