I think it's in Luzerne County, PA near Wilkes-Barre. I haven't been in that area since April 2006. I know that region had a pretty nasty flood a couple of weeks later. I was last in that region on July 4, 2009, specifically in Mossic for a baseball game that never happened and then my lone visit to the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Casino. As for your picture, you look just fine to me.
yup...they're fishing for compliments... :toetap05: But on a lighter note, I lived in Carbondale, PA, which is Northeastern, tooo!
Yeah it gets a bit tiresome. I used to do it as a teenager, but you realise that being insecure isn't particularly cool or attractive and obviously you're a lovely young woman so you quit making meaningless and needlessly negative statements and get on with things. Also if you have the confidence to post up a pic for the world to see, you're probably fine.
Exactly. Any girl who genuinely thought they were that ugly and unattractive, wouldn't post pics of themselves. The vast majority of girls who say they aren't attractive also have no problems showing the whole world what they look like. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, most of the time, they are just fishing for compliments that they know full well are going to come. lol
Well, it's often the insecurity thing. We are all insecure about something. She posted a pic and maybe what she wanted was a reassurance from us than anything else. My initial reply to this thread was meant as a reassurance, but if it sounded more of a sarcasm than anything else, I apologize. I say it's alright if she's fully aware she's going to get a lot of compliments. I think she deserves them. She hasn't come across as an unpleasant poster so far, so I have no reason to say she doesn't.
While you may be right, it has always puzzled me why so many women who are quite clearly very pretty, and not in the least bit "ugly", state that they aren't attractive. And then post pics of themselves. I do think many who do this know full well that they will get compliments, and that's why they do it. As someone who genuinely is physically very unattractive, it seems totally baffling to me how girls who are anything but unattractive see themselves as being so. You are right of course, there's nothing really wrong with that, I just don't understand it. Then again, I think women put a lot of pressure on themselves lookswise, and so think if they don't meet up to a certain "standard" (or at least a standard in their own mind), then they can't be attractive. Many women do feel a lot of pressure to look "perfect". so many feel that they don't "measure up", even if they clearly are very pretty. I guess that's just the world we live in though...
