NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE NOT TO SELVE IMPROVE! I AM STILL IN THE GYM FIXING MY PHYSIQUE, WORKING HARD TOWARD MY DEGREE, AND IMPROVING MY GROOMING AND STYLE
I am sorry if this comes across as a rant, but I was wondering if you could give me advice about my current mindset. I am a college aged male. I am ugly. And not incel ugly, but actually ugly. And it sucks because I am not even socially inept, quite the opposite actually. At least before the past year, I had always been extraverted and had an easy time making friends. Most adults and even my peers have noticed I always seem to be a leader of my peers. People seem to naturally listen to me. I regularly get complimented on my personality and don't have a hard time making female friends. I'm always getting told how funny and fun to be around I am.
The problem is I'm not physically attractive. This isn't some "I haven't gotten girls, I must be ugly" thing. This is a "people have always told me I was ugly" thing. I remember my close female friends in high school saying I was a 3/10. I remember people being shocked when seeing me talking to certain girls, because they didn't think I could pull them. I remember people overhearing I hooked up with some unknown girl and going "really? Why would they hook up with anon!?". I remember close female friends telling me I shouldn't go after certain girls because "I had no chance and they were too attractive for me". I distinctly remember one girl saying "Looks don't determine friendship! You can be popular and have lots of friends while still being ugly! Look at anon, he's a perfect example!", and everyone silently agreed because they thought I was napping. I tried not to let it bother me, but after my freshman year of college (aged 18), it became too hard constantly hearing how ugly I was behind my back, or even from well intentioned friends telling me "no offense but you're funny looking". And I know it it too. I have a lazy eye caused by a debilitating eye disease (although it's not super noticeable), severe underbite, tear troughs and eye bags I've had since 9 (it's just genetic), a crooked jaw and severe underbite (hopefully braces will fix to some extent but not all the way), and I'm disproportionately lanky. Even my friends will admit I'm not super good looking, It's been happening to me forever. It's frustrating because even when I can tell a girl likes me, she will put me on the backburner because she figures I don't have other options, or won't want to admit it to their friends.
It sucks too because as I started to get depressed and stopped going to class, people stopped seeing me as a popular outgoing leader, and began to make fun of me for not going to class, stepping on me while I was down, People even began attacking my character. I don't resent anyone, but I've lost a lot of friends since then. It is what it is.
Anyway, here's my actual question. Since taking the red pill, and observing my good looking friends in real life, I know undoubtedly that women DO care about looks. A lot more than I thought initially. People always say "there are tons of good-looking girls with ugly guys" but to be honest I don't know a single one. But having said that, I'm sure with my personality I could easily get a girlfriend within a few months of trying, (after regaining my confidence of course). That's not the issue.
This might kind of sound fucked up, but I don't want a girlfriend. I want women to lust after me. I feel as though a girl who might be my girlfriend in spite of my looks will not truly love me. She might cerebrally appreciate the fact that I'm funny, my leadership skills, my assertiveness, the fact that I'm sweet or treat her decent without being a simp. However, she will never respect me or lust after me. She will assume that based on my looks, I will have a hard time pulling other girls and therefore have very little respect for me. Additionally, even though she likes my personality, she will have no carnal lust towards me. I will not be able to get her sexual best and I will be in one of those relationships where I have to beg her for starfish sex, because she thinks she doesn't have to fuck me.
I feel like as a man, women need to feel like you can pull girls to have any respect for you. They might LIKE the fact that you're funny, outgoing, or nice, but she'll never have respect for you, because she knows other women don't. And since she doesn't have respect for you, she can't lust after you and therefore she can't truly love you.
I want to have casual sex because it affirms respect. Women won't casually sex guys they don't respect, but they will be their girlfriend. The amount of girls who aren't even attracted to their SO but are with him for other reasons is astounding, and I don't want that. I get it sounds bad, but I don't want a girlfriend, at least not my rational mind. I hate when girls try to set me up with their friends, and say "I would be a great boyfriend". They're basically just saying "you're a nice guy who wouldn't be an asshole to my friend, but I'm also not attracted in any way to you, and neither is my friend, but she's looking for a boyfriend right now and you're the perfect sucker".
Basically, I feel as though no woman will ever lust after me or respect me because of my looks. And I feel as though if I were to get into a relationship she may appreciate my personality, but she won't respect me because I'm ugly and she'd feel like I have no other options, and I'd be running around begging a woman who's not attracted to me for sex.
What should I do about this? Should I just accept my inability to have casual sex because of my looks and just pray my girlfriend likes me in spite of my looks and isn't just tolerating me because of my other personality traits? Is there something wrong with my mindset, or has the redpill just made me too aware of reality for my own good? Where am I wrong and where am I right?
