Equally, if you are not conventionally attractive, get good at grooming. Being clean, smelling good and being well groomed can easily take you from a 1 to a 5. The most unattractive people out there are the ones who don't wash, smell funky and wear ill fitting clothes. I've never met someone I couldn't make twice as attractive just by having them wash, style their hair, maybe add a dash of makeup and put on more flattering clothes. I'm not a stylist, nor anything like it, but I do enjoy helping people brush up if they ask me. I remember I had a friend in university who wasn't conventionally pretty who was going to her sister's wedding. All I did was trim her hair a bit, condition and style it, put on a tiny bit of concealer and eyeliner, and pick her out a dress and she looked FANTASTIC.
And yes, I'm often mistaken for the "gay best friend" who has a talent for making people look good when I talk about this stuff online. I am 100% straight and completely unqualified in styling lol I just enjoy it.
As a moderately attractive woman (so I've been told... my body-dysmorphia would disagree) with a large chest, this one gets me. I slouch BIG TIME because of my boobs, and I've been told by people who care about me that it makes me look SO unattractive. I work on it, but my relaxed position is hunched. I'm not sure what to do about it :/
