I wasted my prime (16-20) pretty boy years and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to recover

I was a pretty boy. Maybe not super objectively attractive by PSL standards, but I had very high irl appeal and would frequently get told I looked like a tiktoker, pretty boy, etc. I used these photos on dating apps for a couple of years for validation seeking purposes and motivation to lose weight while I was fat. I got over 2800+ matches on tinder and was easily getting my looksmatch+. My appeal was universal. I was getting college cheerleaders, sorority girls, alt and goth girls, liberals, conservatives, etc. Didn’t matter. A lot of them would actually message me first too, had multiple even ask if I was a real person.

Anyway, that’s the past. I’ve made some progress in losing weight, and while I look much better now than I did when I was using my old photos for validation, I still am not good-looking enough. I went from a queue of 99+ likes on tinder at all times to only getting liked my fat and trans women maybe once every 2 weeks, since I’ve redownloaded tinder like a month ago. The types of girls I used to always match with no longer like me back. I had a golden opportunity to have a ton of sex in those 4 years, and I feel like even when I’m lean again (I’m currently 22% bodyfat), I will never have even a quarter of the appeal that I once did.


Here was me when I was younger for reference, and here is me now at 22:

Also, if you don’t believe me about my tinder success in the past, just ask blackgymmaxx. He used to run experiments with my photos in 2020 and confirmed my results were legit.

It’s so over

I honestly still think my skin is alright and hair is good. Like I said, I’m also higher bf now than I was then, but I don’t know if getting lean (I’m getting lean regardless) will do much for me

Yeah. I had chad appeal irl and on dating apps due to pheno, height, hair, and mtn+ face, then I got fat due to severe mental illness and depression. I’m still 22 though. I won’t be 23 until late September, so I guess there’s still a bit of hope to be had. I’ve currently been the most consistent in the gym and with diet than I’ve ever been before in my life. Hoping I’ll look better than my old self and have more appeal and get laid this spring/summer
