I fully appreciate this thread is somewhat trivial compared to others on here, but would you say you were popular with the opposite sex when you were a teenager say 13-18 years old.

Also how has this experience shaped future relationships you have had ?

Myself I can safely say I was not as when I was at secondary school i had bad skin, had braces and was always told I was fat and ugly and got bullied alot.

Girls always preferred the guys with good skin etc

I feel that this experience has really wreaked my confidence as i have always felt ugly and inferior to others.

No, no attention from boys at school but teachers and other people’s parents (make and female) would say how attractive I was and say I should be a model all the time. It was confusing because I was being bullied for being ugly by people my age. I’d never been kissed at 18. When I went to university I was almost worshipped for how attractive I was, they call it being a BNOC (big name on campus) but by then the bullying meant I had very low self esteem and as soon as someone said I was beautiful I’d jump into bed with them and that earnt me a different reputation after a while. As an adult I became a pornstar. I really can see how my low self esteem has impacted all parts of my life and I rarely leave the house for feeling ugly now.

I wish I had pursued modelling despite my mother and bullies saying I was too ugly because I evidently have a marmite face as often models do. Now I am teaching my daughters they are beautiful and clever and talented because confidence is the greatest asset in life.
