Your rant reminds me of the time I went to the mall and one of the kiosk guys tried to clean my nails with one of those buffer things.
Are you ugly? A liar like me? A loser? a lost soul? someone you don't know?
Money is no cure. A sickness so pure...are you like me? Are you ugly?
On a side note, I do make sure to take care of things like my hair and basic hygiene. I'm hardly bubbly over with self-esteem, but a lot of people in comic shops do make me feel like Ben Affleck in comparison.
I got a dress sense when I begun to analyse what made fictional characters work visually. Trufax.
What were your findings?
Use only two main colours. Mix in white or black, they won't clash with your chosen colours. Your hair colour counts. One of your colours should be more dominant, and the other should play a supporting role. The darker or more muted colour is generally better dominant, but this is the most breakable rule.
This is why jeans/t-shirt/jacket is so popular; you get blue, then one other item can be coloured and the last can be black or white.
Formal wear also works on the same basis.
On one end, there's really not a lot you have to do to be attractive. Especially since beauty's in the eye of the beholder, chances are someone's gonna find you attractive no matter what you look like, but if you're going for a popularly accepted look, it doesn't take much effort. The basics are usually the same, though. Hygene right, don't be such a lazy fuck and actually stay in shape, dress nicely, and don't be a slob in public. After all of those, everything is more or less an add-on.
Beyond that, physical attractiveness means very little in the long run. The thing people generally find the most attractive is a sense of confidence. You can be fuck ugly and still be pretty successful in the dating scene just by having the right attitude.
And if all else fails, just post a picture of yourself in the "photos" thread on TvT. Everyone will complement you on your looks anyway.
The other side of the coin, though, is it always seems that the people who champion "natural beauty" are either people who are just naturally fucking gorgeous and don't have to worry about "natural fugliness", or they're goddamn hideous and are just jealous of beautiful people who wear makeup.
Opposite colours tend to be a little too striking.
