Does acne affect your chances with girls?

Yes, it’s far less appealing than clear skin. Go to a dermatologist, ask about acutane

I have acne, of course it does. You should not think about it too much, almost all of us go through it.

Yes. It obviously impacts your appearance. More importantly, it negatively impacts your confidence. When you lack confidence, you lack the most important ingredient of attraction.

How could it not? It's not attractive. Yes, it's a thing that most people have to deal with and lots of people are understanding but it still doesn't look great. Look... anything that makes you look unhealthy or like you don't know how to take care of yourself if an indicator to others that you're not an ideal mating candidate.

I get that it's possible to overlook a bit of acne but you know darn well that it's a turn off to others.

I had terrible acne in high school all the way through college. I tried over the counter crap and that just made my face drier and flaky. At some point, I learned to wash my face properly and start taking care of myself. That didn't make it go away entirely but it a step in the right direction.

One thing that helped me tremendously was to grow a small, neatly trimmed beard. Somehow that took the oils away from my face and my face cleared up and my skin looked wonderful. Guess what? Girls noticed. One girl I knew casually saw my new beard for the first time and gave me her phone number on the spot.

Interestingly, over the years, I've shaved beard off from time to time and pimples would start to pop up on my face again. Go figure.

Go to a dermatologist. Learn how to wash your face properly.

EDIT: Oh yea... even with that, you may still have some acme. That's sucks but, hopefully, you'll grow out of it in time.
