Can A Person That Is Not Attractive Be Happy?
Say someone is not attractive. When I say not attractive, I don’t just mean looks – but lets say as a complete “package” they are not attractive to the opposite gender.
Do you think that such a person can still lead a happy life?

Comments on Can A Person That Is Not Attractive Be Happy?
Yes I do. As long as this person can make somebody else happy and someone can make them happy back they certainly can. Don’t forget, we might not find these people attractive but someone else might. Attractive, non-attractive everybody’s entitled to their little share of happiness. And when someone’s doing his best to make everyone around happy too, instantly they cease from being unattractive because beauty comes from within. And I just wish they find that special someone who can transform them, make them happy whatever being happy might mean. They deserve it, we all do.
Are you KIDDING me? Like this is a for real question?
WTF, dude.
If you were ugly do you honestly think your life would be totally negative and void because of that? I see ugly people laughing every single day.
Get out more!!
edit: alright. i took the time to see what you meant. the complete package of someone is NEVER completely a turn-off to the opposite gender. it’s just nearly impossible! i’ve seen some nasty girls inside and out that have companions so although it DOES occur, it’s not very often.
yes of course :]
Everyone is attractive in one way or another.
Well, yes. First I think that attractive really varies with people And somethings that have nothing to do with looks end up being described as attractive or ugly. If you let it all go (in terms of the anxiety about it), you probably will be more approachable and come off attractive to the opposite sex.
“There’s a chair for every a’ss”, remember this quote, because there’s someone out there for everyone, ugly or hot.
Yes, they CAN. But they need to see it in themselves.
Everyone is beautiful in one way or another, and everyone has the ability to see that.
It just depends on whether they want to be happy or not.
Now, I’m not exactly the most attractive girl around… the only way I get people to like me is to know them online, but I lead a perfectly happy life.
Sure, I have my bad days..
But doesn’t everyone, no matter what they look like?
All people have something atracctive, so everyone can be happy.
Sure, why not? If they’re not shallow than they’ll see there’s more to life than how you look. If they’re sad about being “alone” for the rest of their life, they realize they have good friends and family. If they want kids, they can adopt. Also, they can always get plastic surgery
Yes, because unattractive people don’t always seem to know they’re unattractive to others. They just get on with their life.
Yes, I can be happy, if I weren’t happy, I would not be attractive! If I felt that I was drop dead gorgeous but not happy, I would look un-attractive to others. Happiness is a choice and being attractive, is an opinion.
It depends on what that person’s definition of “happy” is. True happiness comes from within and attractive or not, if a person doesn’t realize this or ignores his/her inner beings, no matter what happens on the surface, the person will never be happy…not long-term, anyway.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so just because you & I don’t think that someone is attractive, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone out there who thinks they’re beautiful. That is only a opinion, so of course they can lead a happy life
Works for me, look to be Honest, i am not attractive to the opposite sex, it’s as simple as that, but i have accepted that and have moved on from that and just enjoy doing what i like in life.
I think that there is something attractive about everyone, whether it be there personality, looks, their confidence in life but I do believe that all people have something to offer the other sex.
it’s not about being attractive.
it’s about accepting who you are for what you are.
don’t get hung up on the physical side of attractiveness either, because in the greater scheme of things it’s only a small portion of what a person is actually attracted to..
happiness comes from within, cliche, i know, but it’s a state of mind and nothing more.
Some people are in a world all the own and are not even aware that others see them as unattractive. So, sure that person can still lead a happy life.
Sure – some people actually choose to distance themselves from others – they’re called misanthropes and they’re very happy that way. if they want to be attractive to the opposite gender but they’re not, they’ll easily find things in their lives to fulfill themselves and feel productive. Having a mate is not the ‘end all’ reason to live.
uh.. yeah
they can be successful and have a great life!
