Thanks for the "bump" on this post. I never would have found it to read otherwise. VERY good points made ~ now, where is she? I want to read more!

I have to say that this thread is absolutely amazing. I never thought I had bad self esteem until I took a really hard look at my body and realized I couldn't really find any redeeming qualities.. and that I had completely written off the chance of anyone even remotely being able to find it attractive. I mean, I'm sure I have a pretty cute face (at the right camera angle, hee hee) and I have no problems with my personality but to think that I could attract a man by looks alone? I'm still having difficulty believing that's possible.. (which is probably why I'm single too)
