All of my boyfriend's friends tell me I'm ugly and he can do so much better than me. What are some ways I can improve the way I look? I just don't think I look pretty.
here are a couple of pictures of me (my hair isn't blonde and brown anymore it's dark brown/auburn)
leLovely answered Friday June 15 2007, 12:08 am: Don't change the way you look! You're super pretty. You shouldn't even let it bother you. Your boyfriends friend's opinion shouldn't make you want to change the way you look. Is he single? You're the one that's taken, and if he's single, he's the one that doesn't have a girlfriend. He's probably jealous that his friend has a girlfriend. Maybe he doesn't spend as much time with him, so he's just making fun of you because he misses hanging out with him. Don't let it bother you. You're beautiful! [ leLovely's advice column | Ask leLovely A Question ]
disasterxwoah answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 5:50 pm: You shouldn't change yourself. If he doesn't think your pretty and he thinks he can do "so much better" then you, then let him. I had a boyfriend like that once, one that told me I was ugly and that he could do so much better. I changed myself for him, but no matter what I changed or how much I changed it.. it was never good enough for him. I would never be to his level of acceptence. Also, because I had changed so much I lost friends. I wasn't myself anymore, I had become what he wanted and that wasn't what my friends knew me as. Don't change yourself. Tell your boyfriends that if they don't like you for who you are, then they're not worth your time. Stay yourself, because being your best is alot better then being someone elses best.

iloveushhhhh answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 12:44 pm: Your really pretty and if any guy doesn't see that their stupid. Don't listen to what they say, because their wrong. I don't think you should change the way you look. Your really pretty, and don't let any stupid guys tell you other wise. [ iloveushhhhh's advice column | Ask iloveushhhhh A Question ]
Alli answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 10:42 am: I honestly think that you are very pretty. I don't know what those boys were thinking when they said you were ugly. If they think that then they must have lost a lot of brain cells during their lifetime. Don't listen to them because you are definately not ugly. All the changes you have made are good if you want a different look and i think that everyone can use some toneing up so that is good too. Hope i helped!

thelaura answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 6:26 am: You're a stunner.
If you're boyfriends friends insist on calling you ugly, they're either blind, or jealous your boyfriend has such a wonderful girl.
Chin up, love.
and your new appearance sounds rather fantastic.
Don't listen to anyone who puts you down.
and don't feel you need to change for anyone - only yourself. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
xOx_BRUN3TT3_xOx answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 9:06 pm: I honestly do NOT think you need to change anything. You are pretty. Your boyfriend is still with you, right? Well if he is then he doesn`t care how you look, you shouldn`t change for his friends, if he likes who you are. Your probably going to be like i asked this question for you to help me out, but there is nothing to help you out with, you are gorgous.

kc answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 8:56 pm: Alright, so you are absolutely gorgeous, and I know that most girls, including myself, would kill to look like you, and plenty of guys would die for a chance with someone who looks like you.
I am not going to tell you to change anything, mostly because you don't have to at all. You seem very comfortable with yourself, and according to the pictures, very fun.
Makeup is your thing, it's not a big deal. Everyone keeps saying "tone down on the makeup." Makeup or not you are still lovely, but if you like the makeup then keep it.
Your boyfriend likes you the way you are, and odviously doesn't care what his friends think if he is still with you.
You can't change the thoughts of other people or the perspective of his friends, that is just what they think. Just have fun with your boy. [ kc's advice column | Ask kc A Question ]
Jeanne answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 8:25 pm: Well, you are definitely NOT ugly!! You are BEAUTIFUL!! You have a very pretty shaped face, GORGEOUS eyes, and pretty lips! You have a true natural beauty. What I would suggest is letting people see what nature has blessed you with, and don't cover it up with too much makeup. If you use a little less eyeliner, but maybe a tad more mascara and eye shadow (in a soft, natural color), people will notice your beautiful eyes instead of just noticing the eyeliner. And play up those pretty lips with some soft lip color.
caramella answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:49 pm: ok first of all your boyfreinds freinds are mean and you should tell them to mind their own buisness and that theyre only making fun of you to feel better about themselves.Anywayz i do suggest a change that can make you look even better,you can try to make your eyebrows a little thicker,thats all you need to change about your looks and youll look prettyer.

orphans answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:49 pm: u arent ugly, but there is somnething about you that looks like different?
you should change your eyebrows and hair cut and maybe color
also your make up
Shortcake22 answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:38 pm: Honestly? I think you're reaaaally pretty. I mean it, if you were ugly, I would have passed this question up.
Forget your boyfriends friends. Either they have self esteem issues, or they're jealous. Either way, it's not your problem.
(& please don't tell me he lets them say those things. If he does, you might need to re-evaluate your relationship with him, because that's rude!)
ANG answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:37 pm: Well, in these two pictures I think you look very pretty, and lots of fun. Your old boyfriends are a big bunch of meanies, and don't know what they're talking about. You know what I say to them? Poo on them!! I don't think there is a way to improve your look in my opinion, because I think you're gorgeous. I'm not just saying so, because I'm being nice. I totally think so.

bLue_in_tHe_faCe answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:36 pm: They are asses, I think your pretty! You shouldn't listen to them, guys always do that to girls. You can maybe try going natural, like putting on light makeup, having thicker trimed eye brows, natural sorta. You can try alot of things, next time you see a girl whos really pretty just see how she does her makeup or whatever and maybe try that too. But your not ugly so don't worry about it =] [ bLue_in_tHe_faCe's advice column | Ask bLue_in_tHe_faCe A Question ]
DandKitsLOVE01 answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:35 pm: my advice : tell them boy's to fuck off , are you dating them ; no! so they shouldn't care.
&& i looked at them picture's and you aren't ugly , i'd be the person to tell you if you were. i was expecting a reaaaalllly ugly girl , but who ever calls you ugly is uhhh ugly :]]
try a change in the way you do your make up , or if you think your overweight ; exercise. you shouldn't change your self for some boy , i doubt he'll be the one you are going to marry!
Ashumms answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:34 pm: Okay, I think I should tell you that your boyfriend's friends are all jerk offs and you should tell him that. Why is he spending time with such ass-hats when he could find some friends that actually respect women?
Personally, I don't think you're ugly. You wear a lot of eye makeup though. Maybe you should take that down a notch. But other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you.
If none of your boyfriends friends have girlfriends, that may be the cause of the verbal harassment. They may just be jealous of all the time you're spending together when he used to spend that extra time with them. They may just be trying to get him to dump you so they can get him back. I suggest maybe setting them up with some of your friends, or even just the girl that sat beside of you in math.
helpachick answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 7:30 pm: aw hun!=(
i wouldnt be believin your b/f's friends for One Second because i looked at your links and you are very pretty.
and either their just really jealous or they need to get over themselves. i wouldnt change a thing, and besides, their opinion shouldnt matter anyways. your boyfriend most likely thinks your pretty, and not that it really matters if he does or not, but most likely, and you shouldnt have to change yourself for anyone else!
