    You get that kind of confidence by not giving a shit about what other people think in terms of your physical attractiveness. I don’t think I’m especially good looking. I also couldn’t give less of a shit. Which is why I have the confidence to have the facial hair of a 19th century president. Because a mutton chops beard is fucking awesome. I’m married, but I wouldn’t even care if I was single. I’m keeping my mutton chops.

      I wish this kind of attitude is acceptable in my country. Over here, even something like this is enough to make you weirdo and quickly alienate you.

        I am a weirdo and maybe it does make people stay away from me. I just don’t care.

          Does that mean you have zero friends, struggle to get a job, and generally socially isolated? If not, I don’t think we have the same problem.

      Absolutely, I said it gives a natural advantage, it is more like getting a good starting hand in cards. It doesn’t mean you automatically win. Or loose if you get a 4,5…

      Too many in this thread are for a variety of reasons taking my statement to mean “OMG if you’re not pretty you’re doomed”
