Thank you everyone for your love and support. :hug:

I'd give you a real hug, but I'm over in the Midwest. But you're in LA, right? You'd think out of all those people you could find someone who'd need a hug from you.

I live far far way --- the land down under -- but, you know, a hug to you, love4jesus --

It's really not about attractions and looks -- it's about personality and no matter how unattractive you look, we will accept you as part of the Christian family.

Acceptance -- I mean -- I look maybe too ugly to some people (my sister especially) but some people think I'm good looking as well.

Why do I feel that I cannot get a boyfriend because I am not pretty? I keep telling myself that if I lost weight, got my scars removed, if I had bigger breasts, normal hearing, no mole on my neck, and nice hair someone would like me. :sigh: All the wrong guys like me, guys that are weird. I don't know why I feel that a lot of guys only like girls for their beauty.

Have you seen the people around you in relationships? Theres a WHOLE lot of them, right? If that is you in your profile pic, you have a real sexy look, and i'm not the kinda guy that just says that,, i'm serious. You clearly don't have any weight issues, and it looks like you take care of yourself. With just those two things you've put yourself in the top 20% of the dating pool. SO many people don't have a 'look'.
I think what you are talking about is all very very normal stuff. For some reason at 18-20 we all ask our selves if we will be alone forever because we don't know what the future holds. Well, the only thing i can say is,,, get used to it, because you NEVER know what the future holds. The good news is that its in Gods hands.

Be comfortable with what you are and who you are. If you can do that, you've rocketed yourself to the TOP of the dating pool.

Cheer up!!!! :D

Upbeat, guitar driven rock song celebrating the Christian community with its strengths and weaknesses.

We are family
We are children of God
We are gathered together
By His Spirit and Blood
We belong to the Father
Who’s building a home
Where we shall live as one
We are family

We are brothers and sisters
We’re fathers and sons
We’re mothers and daughters
Together we’re one
And though we are different
In our failings and strengths
Inside we are the same



We are family
We are children of God
We are gathered together
By His Spirit and Blood
We belong to the Father
Who’s building a home
Where we shall live as one
We are family

Jesus our Saviour
In love for each one
Humbled Himself
An obedient Son
He suffered the cross
With all the pain and the scorn
So we could be reborn
To His family

We are children of God
We are gathered together
By His Spirit and Blood
We belong to the Father
Who’s building a home
Where we shall live as one
We are family

Sometimes we struggle
And sometimes we fight
Though we know in our hearts
That it just isn’t right
Jesus commands us
Ourselves to deny
All our ego and our pride
We are family


We're His Family, Yeah
We are family

We are children of God
We are gathered together
By His Spirit and Blood
We belong to the Father
Who’s building a home
Where we shall live as one
We are family
We're His Family

Group Hug :groupray:

My profile picture is very old and I look a lot different now.

My recent pictures are too big to put on here.

Are you saying that the pictures are too big (you could downscale them) or do you think that you are too big.

Here's something I discovered while reading today.

1 Timothy 2:10 - A woman should make herself attractive by the good things she does.

That's a lot different from physical attractiveness. It's so confusing. I mean, I try to do good things and I know lots of girls that do good things, but I have yet to meet any Christian guy that finds that and only that attractive. That's not why I try to live for Christ anyways. I do think that it's how we act and what we do that will make a person more attractive, but if the physical attractiveness is missing from the begining then it makes it that much harder. And physical attractiveness is not only glorified in the world, it's glorified in the church. I heard this preacher say once that he would pray that God would give him a wife that was good and a Godly woman, and then he started to get scared that God would give him an ugly woman, since many good girls were ugly. His wife was very very pretty. It sort of discouraged me. I saw a lot at the Chrisitan college I went to that even godly guys would only look for the ultra pretty girls even if they did sort of bad things. It's kind of like that was forgiven, if she was beautiful and somewhat of a Christian.

I went to a Christian university last year, and the really "pretty" girls were the ones that guys liked and they were definitely Christian guys, but I can't say the same about the girls. Not everyone at a Christian school is Christian, and I realize that. Many non-Christians went to the school because it is the only English university in that city.

I had a room mate who was one of these girls.

I said "pretty" like that because yes, they were pretty, but they did not dress modestly and the like.

I did date guys that were not considered models, and that were geeky. I dated a lot of guys that my friends thought were hideous. They weren't to me, I thought they were all good looking in their own way. Everyone has a different look that they like. The media tries to tell us what good looking is, but deep down we have different tastes. I do not like the stereotypical model guys myself, based on looks only.
