Ever lower your standards?

hey I'm just wondering if anyone on here has ever completely lowered their standards when dating only b/c of acne? Since acne (now scars), I have been on dates with not-so-appealing guys because I don't think someone "good looking" is going to like me. I hate being judged and although I like dating nice/funny guys I just don't find any of them very attractive. I want a well balanced nice attractive guy. I find that when I didn't have acne I would find him no prob. I was engaged last year. But now I'm single because I chose to end things with my ex. Dating is problematic now because of acne and scarring. I don't feel I'm in the same league anymore...I mean looks isn't everything but you have to be at least willing to have sex with the person, right?!? Maybe I'll forget about dating and start collecting cats now. lol.

Unbelievable

ok guys...so I was working at one of the liquor stores in my city doing a promo job and I never seen so many ppl with acne. I mean 2 out of every 10 at least! I always go out and never see anyone with acne then I feel like I'm the only one with a problem. But tonight was so much different. I think it was b/c I was just in one place for a long time so I got to see a variety of ppl. Anyway point is we are really NOT the only ones. A lot of individuals have skin issues and I got to see that first hand. Even the security guard there had acne. I also made it a priority to look them in the eyes. This is actually hard to do sometimes. I see some ppl on here complain that no one looks them in the eyes but it's natural for humans to glace at imperfections. Anyways just wanted to write about it. If anyone has any input that would be lovely.

I'm growing a third eye

ok so here's the problem... I've been on Diane 35 for over 5 mths and my acne is gone (just left over scars) But now I have a pleasant visitor on my face. It is a very hard, not painful to touch cyst and/or pimple that had been on the inner corner of my eye but on my nose. So the top inside corner. anyways I have a big night tmro and just wondering what I can do with this? I know it's not going to be completely gone but any advice on how to take the hardness away and shrink down the size a bit? I know a lot of you don't want to here me bitch about my one pimple (I use to get pissed reading posts like this when my acne was bad) but I really could use the advice... Thx

Nervous.

This is my first post, I've read a good chunk of this websites msg boards. It makes me feel joined to others that suffer from breakouts. At all levels it is completely devastating no matter the severity. You not only feel bad but almost get treated like less of a person.

I'm going through some difficulties with an ex which may also be the cause of my acne... I'm away on vacation for 5 more days then I have to go back to where him and his new fiance are...This wouldn't bother me so much but for the last 3 mths she has had this mad hate on for me. She's written me nasty txts from my old phone number supposedly from him, written me emails saying I was pathetic and should commit suicide, called me and hung up a bunch of times, called the police on me to say I was harassing her (I don't even know her number cause she always dialed me with a blocked call) she even came to a club I was at and hit me, then got one of her friends to bar me from a few other clubs! Ahhhh this bitch is driving me insane.

Me and him were together for 4 yrs and were engaged then I broke it off a few times because of an age difference and b/c I wanted to finish my masters degree (he wanted a child). So moved out on him and got my own place about 7 mths ago. He started having sex with a 19 yr old hooters girl right away to make me jelous (he would call and tell me about it), when I didn't take him back he got her pregnant (again called and told me), she had a miscarriage (still was fucking calling me) and saying to me that this was all MY fault and I ruined his life blah blah blah. I think she is harassing me now b/c he didn't want to move on and she thinks it's my fault. I donno and I don't think I ever will. Very stressful.

I went away down south to get away from it all. Quit an amazing job at the hospital to be free of this. I've been down here for 3 wks and my acne is gone. I have to go back in 5 days and I'm scared to death. Maybe I should just move...I donno anymore.

Any advice? Good or bad, I'll take it
