Is being ugly a valid reason for me to ctb?

[WhiteEyes]

Personally no, there are a lot of things you can do now to correct your appearance though it probably costs money. I think if you set your mind to it you can fix that, like many of us here are determined to finds ways to die peacefully and seemingly succeed,
I can see how looks may cause suicide and depression though in the short term, like in teens and in college where you appear to be missing out on something others have.

If you're a female you can find someone. But if you're a guy then it's over for you.

I get this.

An unattractive guy can make up for it with charisma. A guy with no charisma can make up for it with looks or with power. None of the above? The woman has a slight upper hand in the game, we have a bit more power.

As a social species, unattractive women suffer. Unless we have some kind of special charismatic qualities, men won't compete for us. The drive to compete plays a large part in our desirability. Hence the effectiveness of playing hard to get, and withholding when a man's attention is heading elsewhere. (I don't/can't play such games, but I get why they work.)

Women also compete for men. But ultimately, it's women who have the choice. That's the biological imperative. Once the desire to couple has been satisfied in two years or less, we women have to figure out how to keep the man somehow satisfied so he'll stay.

I think both sides have to dig deep sometimes to figure out what about them is desirable and play it up to attract others. Then of course, do want who we attract?

There, I've solved everything -- it's effing unsolvable. Biology and evolution screw us! In connecting with others, in believing in deities, in SI....

Ignorance really is bliss, eh? Some folks get their needs met and don't have to delve into such stuff, only to find that the answers don't yield rewards.

Enter nihilistic philosophy...

EDIT: Short version for @lonley_roper, why I say I get it...

I once saw two birds. The female was picking food out of the grass. The male was puffed up and fluttering around her. MALE: You female! Me male! FEMALE: Busy. MALE: But I'm what you want! FEMALE: Want this food more. MALE: But no, really! Check THIS out! Look at the awesomeness I offer you! FEMALE: ....

I can see this being a reason. The truth is, some people miss out on the pleasures in life and it results in them not being happy. People can sit up and say "you are not ugly" when when life tells you something different, it can be heartbreaking.

Op if your problem is not being able to get a partner have you tried attracting people who are also 'short and ugly'? What i'm sort of saying is dont expect supermodels if you aren't one, be realistic, they'll be others with your attributes wanting a partner. Also, if you are physically ok, not too depressed and not already buff, you can improve the attractiveness of your body by working out. I suggest this because it worked for me. Just a thought.

I'm short, unattractive, and only attracted to supermodels. Tried dating average looking women when I was younger and it was really awkward for me.

 

[disabledandhopeless]

It's valid. We all have our reasons.

 

[BabyYoda]

Yes it is valid
Well you can change your appearance but that will cost you a lot of money
So yea

 

[FreedomInDeath]

Being ugly is 100% valid reason to CTB especially in this society. One of the main reasons I am. As much as it is unfair it is life.

 

[letmeseethedeath]

I'm very short and ugly and I can't get someone to like me if my life depended on it.

i really feel you. i hate my body. i'm short and i have small hands all people laugh at me and i see myself ugly

 

[Steamm]

It's one of my reasons, actualy I never thought I was ugly but circumstances force me to believe I am since I'm a 29 years old and never had any girl interesed in me.

 

[Darkhaven]

If it makes your life intolerable to live i don't know why it would be less valid than any other reason. What matters in the reason in itself, but rather how the individual takes that specific "reason": some people tolerate some things better than others.
Anyway, only you can make that decision: Is is valid for YOU? If yes, then...

 

[Admont]

For me yes And I would go ctb because I'm ugly I see my genetics don't deserve to survive.

I hate my face so much I hate my body I just hate me and want to be gone... I'm tired of been a coward... And if I was prettier in my mind I'd be more happy

Same here

 

[Thinking Beyond]

That by itself isn't reason enough imo.

 

[Starseedchip]

For me it is, the pain I feel everytime I look in the mirror makes me physically ill. I never judge anyones motives or reasoning for taking their own life because I know how personal of a journey it is. So many thing can cause pain and suffering including physical appearance.

 

[Notabadguy]

I don't think that being short and ugly is a valid reason to CTB, unless this affects strongly your mental health, but if that occurs I think that the problem is not being ugly, but another mental problem, you could find another reason to CTB if you were handsome, for example problemas at work or with your sentimental partner. I think that you should decide if you want to CTB if you think that these mental problems are too much for you, but the reason it can't be being ugly.

There are tetraplegics that want to live, and there are others that want to die, like Ramón Sampedro. And who can say that Ramón Sampedro wasn't a very strong man? (if you don't know his story, I recommned you watching the film "Sea Inside").

I feel suicidal about things that other people will overcome. You also feel suicidal about things that other people will overcome. But generally speaking I don't think that being short and ugly is a reason to CTB. I have a problema in my face, it's called hemifacial spasm and takes aways a lot of confidence when I interact with other people, but, I, personally, don't feel suicidal about that, but about other reasons).
