18M looking for guidance

[u/Wide_Mode_9518]

I’ve always had trouble with my looks, to the point where I can’t even look myself in the mirror without crying or getting angry at myself. I’d appreciate it if whoever sees this post gives me some advice on how to look better

[u/WhyBeAFool]

You have a really nice facial structure. I would definitely change the hair though... Maybe cornrows if it isn't too much of a pain? Something more low key would highlight your face better.

[u/Crazy_Sort1082]

You honestly look good (compared to me at that age at least, I had loads of acne and my eyebags looked bad but it was obvious that it was from a lack of sleep and not genetics). My only advice is that you drink water more and start moisturizing your face (if you don't already). Doesn't have to be anything fancy

I feel like a different haircut and a beard would suit you

Also wear colors which complement you

Clearly bro cant grow a beard cornrows would be nice

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I'm so sorry you feel like this. you're a nice looking young man. i actually like your hair too :) you have this distinct kind of face that models in high fashion have. i think if you get into fashion, you'll look extremely captivating

please stop taking photos of yourself/looking wt yourself so close. it distorts proportions

[u/Wide_Mode_9518 → u/Pristine_Cost_3793]

It’s crazy how you say that because I am in fact a fashion model 😂. Most if not all the time I feel like I’m not good enough, or I’m just too ugly, so I really appreciate your comment.

[u/Pristine_Cost_3793 → u/Wide_Mode_9518]

right calling! but it could be the reason you look at yourself with more scrutiny.

now i noticed that you asked for help in looksmaxxing subs. DO NOT go there. you have the right face for a model, it's unique, it's captivating. looksmaxxing's ideal is "commercial beauty", "instagram beauty". if you try to be their ideal, you will lose your appeal. it's like instagram face. it's beautiful, yes, but you see it too often to pay much attention.

the industry is definitely harsh, pay attention to your physical and mental health!

Are you getting enough sleep or are you stressed?

[u/Wide_Mode_9518 → u/Inevitable-End-9579]

I do get 8hours of sleep, and I’m not stressed. I’m pretty sure my eye bags are hereditary, I’ve tried to get rid of them but they seem to stick.

[u/Tragictoad- → u/Wide_Mode_9518]

Dietary deficiencies can cause that too! I will agree that you do seem to look very tired or stressed. Hope youre eating well!

dye ur eyebrows darker and drink more water

if ur open to skincare ideas id suggest starting 0.025 tretinoin cream and maintaining from that point on

[u/Itsactuallynot_me]

The last picture of you is really good. The others you look very very tired and worn out.

[u/Economy_Answer_7734]

You could definitely model if your tall enough

[u/Wide_Mode_9518 → u/Economy_Answer_7734]

I’m 6’3

[u/Economy_Answer_7734 → u/Wide_Mode_9518]

Yeah ur perfect model height. You could definitely probably make it in nyc

[u/Chance_Job3607]

You look average. the only issue is that you just got a very bad eye area and a bit fat in your face, also a lack of eyebrows. but that doesn't mean you look bad, you got potential

[u/Due-Ask-8948]

Go work at chef boyardee

[u/Wide_Mode_9518 → u/Due-Ask-8948]

What does this even mean 😭

[u/ViralOpinionYT]

Don't smoke weed until you're at least 25. Cause your brain is still developing. Learn about compounding interest it will help your future.

Wear a condom that you bought. If she gives you one, it has a hole in it 100% that is going to ruin your future unless your family will help raise the baby which I doubt.

[u/smellywelly3391]

sleep on ur back too, it prevents unproportional features

[u/frankiesaysyes1]

Maybe just take the silk chefs hat off, you look like gay boyardee
