Can a girl's physical imperfections drive guys away?

Question - (11 March 2010) 13 Answers - (Newest, 6 April 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This is something that bothers me a lot and makes me self-conscious. The thing is, I have an uneven nose. It's different on both sides (one side being better than the other), and from the front you can see that it's asymmetrical; one side of the tip is wider than the other. I hadn't noticed it until like 3 yrs ago when I took photos and I saw it. It bothered me so much like, how did I go about not knowing this?! Did people think I'm a freak when they saw it too?!

Now whenever I'm talking to someone, especially guys, I'm worried they notice my uneven nose. I like to think guys wouldn't care about nose shapes, but I think they do... If I had a big nose that was symmetrical I wouldn't care, at least it wouldn't look deformed.

I feel like if I could get rhinoplasty surgery I would become wholly comfortable and happy again. This issue is literally on my mind every day! Sadly I don't have the money, but it's definitely what I'm going to be saving up for.

So my question is, would guys see something like this as a major deterrent, or would they not care?

Thanks!

I don't think you should change or worry about your physical fetures to be honest, because alot of people might already like the way you look,besides everyone has somthing they don't like about themselves. Be Yourself! : ]

This isn't trivial to me. I WISH I saw it that way.

In my case, this is not just normal asymmetry, my nose is more than just asymmetric. I do hope people don't notice it though.

Miamine agony auntGuy's don't notice these things. They are too busy worrying about themselves. They think "she's pretty, or she's got great tits, or she's got a nice smile", then they worry if you'll let them touch you, and they worry if you'll like it when they do.

People worry about what they look like, they don't have no time to worry about you.

Laura1318 agony auntIf people want to judge you, then your whole body maybe under the microscope ,not only your nose.

I am sure there are many parts of your body which are imperfect.Even the way you dressed or the way you walked cannot escape their eyes.

You cannot do anything about those people who wants to judge you. Let them judge all they want because the standards they used to judge you will be used to judge them back.

God see's you as perfect and that is all it matters.

You are like a beautiful rose planted in an imperfect flower pot.

The vassal may not be perfect but the soul is beautiful .

You are obsessing on this a bit, everybody has something they dont like about themselves and usually other people dont notice this, remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and also beauty is perfection with flaws, i am a guy and i know it might sound cliche but a different kind of nose cant be the only factor to turn me off/away it would just be a part of the makeup of you whole personality.

Thanks SO MUCH for your answers! It really helps to read your words.

Well, I try to make myself feel better about my nose, but it always comes back to being a big nuisance. And I do feel lucky that this is my only deformity when other people have lost limbs, or totally disfigured faces.

It's weird that I like the little imperfections on people, but I hate it on me. I can look past other people's imperfections, but I feel other people are going to be judging my imperfection =(

It would have to be a pretty lousy guy to measure you on just your nose. And I bet it's nothing like you think. Give yourself a break.

Awww hun,

I think that you are noticing this way more than anyone else is! I think most people are the same way; a tiny flaw is magnifyed when it is on you, but if it was on another person you wouldn't even notice it. I believe that the majority of people have asymetrical noses and yet we don't really notice it on other people because we don't stand there staring at their nose mentally measuring their nostrisl LOL. If that is one of the only things bothering you about your appearance then you should feel blessed. BTW I think Owen Wilson is an absolute sex bomb and his nose isn't perfect (whose nose is?) and think of the beautiful actress who plays Rachel in Glee, her nose has been mentioned several times in the series. Tc and stop obsessing over the small stuff Xo

Laura1318 agony auntMost guys eyes will be on your chest and they would seldom notice your nose imperfection, unless it is very pronounced. You yourself even did not notice it until recently .

Those who cares about you ,would not matter and those who matter ,you don't care.
