I resent the FUPA comment. You just have to deal with that as a handicap. It's like guys who lose their hair. Hey nobody wants it, but it happens.

--Makeup and FUPAs are different. I pity the girl who rubs concealer on her FUPA though.

Sorry, I misunderstood before. I agree with you - I also find it really disturbing that women have all these issues linked to their appearance - and that so many of them could be at least slightly alleviated if people were just nicer to each other.  This is why the entire FUPA thread, for example, pissed me off. Guys wonder why girls are so insecure about their bodies and then they make comments that could give the most secure person a complex.
Another sidenote for guys here - we understand that when you love someone, you can look past appearances a little more, but we also hear what you say and your friends say, so don't expect us to assume that you're not holding us to the same standards as a random girl you think is hot.
I understand completely about how awful self-esteem problems can be, especially if they start at a young age (because going through puberty is already hard enough). I had them too, and I think it's incredible that you've gotten through them. I'm just starting to deal with a lot of my self-esteem issues that started when I was around 7 or so, and it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done. So I guess I'm a little sensitive when it comes to stuff like this since I know how easy it is to hurt someone who's already feeling pretty low, even if you have the best intentions.
