I'm another one who does NOT think she is at ALL pretty...and I've had plenty of what the self help books would call "verbal and non-verbal feedback" to support this belief. And only one short period of comments from a (now former) male friend and a single instance of another guy flirting to counteract that....meaning so far, "LadyLoba, you are not at all pretty. Men do not find you attractive" wins by about a billion messages to two.
(and it doesn't help that the first guy turned so mean on me that even thinking of that now hurts more than helps...but the meannes was not appearance related)
So...anyone who thinks that about herself...I know how you feel...and I hope bellydance improves this belief for me....and everyone else....
Though I too am SO sad to see anyone else in that kind of pain

...Ive got my "I hate my whole body" attitude down to 3 specific areas...upper arms, thighs, and lower stomach (pretty typical areas of wrath for women) but I'm starting to see the rest of it differently.
