When did people get so comfortable telling others that the person they’re attracted to isn’t cute? Or better yet…ugly?!

For the past few years, I’ve been known amongst friends as “the one who likes ugly dudes”.

Now dont get me wrong—im not saying the guys i’ve dated are models or even the cream of the crop BUT honestly WHO FREAKING CARES.

To me, they’re attractive and shouldn’t that be all that matters?! (I know the obvious answer is YES, but just stick with me here)

If you’ve read some of my past posts, then you may know that unfortunately that’s not all that matters to me.

Yes… i have a slight issue with caring a wee bit too much about the opinions of those close to me. So i bet you can imagine how much this current label of mines is bothersome.

Personally, I have never told someone that i thought their partner or even the dude that like was ugly because frankly what does my opinion matter anyways?!

So does it make sense to start questioning the people im around, and what about me gives them the confidence to say such things??

Like, is it not already stressful enough in general to pick a good partner? Now i gotta wonder if my friends will think he’s cute too??

And trust me when i say this, no im not picking guys solely based on if my friends think he’s cute, but i cant say that it hasn’t become a recent factor in my decision making.

Like, maybe my friends have a point? Can i do better? Is this a reflection of low self esteem? Am i just blind?

Especially in todays world, we know there can be a price to pay when it comes to the perceptions of others.

Truth be told, this has got me thinking even deeper on a topic that i havent fully formed an opinion on…

When do you determine if a persons opinion has some value or should just be ignored?
