Alot of my previous confidence - before pick up was that despite having a large Roman nose (like all the males in my family) I was otherwise attractive. Also, I could dispell "limiting beliefs" by remember times were I had got with HB 8,9,10.

Id been told I was goodlooking and some had called me ugly but I knew that it was a matter of taste and that most girls did see me as attractive to an extent. I knew my league so to speak, and I could easily get a 6 but a times get a 9 and so on. I was enjoying using game also.

I got into a fight (first since I was 14 or something), over some stupid stuff outside McDonalds after a night out - he swung first or I would have walked away. The the guy caught be square on the nose and again from the side of it. Blood everywhere and felt tender for weeks. I was swollen but nothing seemed out of place. 5 months later I have a camel nose and and bumps coming out of each side. It doesnt look cool whatsoever - makes my nose look very hooked or 'Jewish' (dont mean that in a racist way) and twisted from both sides, the bumps also shine in the the light. Its drastically changed my appearance and now where I could take confidence in "coups" of the past to dispell any limiting beliefs, I can no longer, as this was an old me, a more attractive me. My nose was borderline ugly and hooked, and now its way worse and bigger, bumpy and bent. Scary thing is - the bumps are still growing.

Any advice guys to shoot my confidence back up?

I just feel like, I cant be seen as attractive at all and it annoys me as I used to be a fairly good looking guy - I dont think anyone would ever take a liking to me without some serious game and then after that the attraction would no doubt not last. Kinda afraid I wont get the same responses - and to an extent ive noticed chicks I previously would have been able to game, dont seem interested at all. Girls that would maybe have chose me over a friend, now go for the them if they are approaching us on the dancefloor or something.

Reading that I realise how AFC I sound but its scary having your whole appearance taken from you - I probably would be more confident if I started out like this, but its like learning my place with woman again, as an unattractive person.

Lucky for you, you're not a girl. Your attractiveness doesn't really mean that much at the end of the day. Ugly guys still get quality women because they have a lot of good shit going on. Go to a gym, improve what you can and come to terms with what you can't. What you're saying sounds AFC because you're perpetuating your own failure here. Most likely, girls wouldn't notice the difference between your nose then and now.

On the other hand, if it's that much of a big deal to you, save up and get cosmetic surgery. It might not matter to other people, but it might give your confidence the bump it needs. You'll be a stronger person at the end of the day if you just mentally overcome it. Girls aren't as superficial as you think (except when it comes to girls).

I suspect Falcone your difficulties are perhaps a self fulfilling prophecy. You expect your altered nose to impact negatively on your attractiveness so that is precisely what it does do.

I may be wrong but it could be as simple as that.

Thanks for your replies guys. And it is probably half a self fulfilling prophecy. Although it has made me remarkably ugly. I think ill save and try and get something done with it next year. In the mean time, ill have to up my game to make up for it aswell as hit the gym big time.

At the end of the day I have to get over it eventually. I just feel weird acting confident or even negging when I look like this.
