Is there an upside to being a sorry-looking dude?

oh many. most men who are not goreous (and that is about 70% of them) tend  not to be arrogant and nasty. they can get with real women and not the barbies that the other fellas are gushing over. They are kind and real. don't sweat it sweetie. you're too hard on yourself. Only 2%  of people in the world are gorgeous and they are too busy trying to be perfect to bother with.

you developed a conscience....good for you. The little things like that really mean a lot to girls and will help you get in their pants a lot more than being a jerk (if that makes ya feel better)

No quick fix to these things except time. It wouldn't hurt to be seen with another guy friend or two, just so that others know that you're being cool with things.

I'm with you. It's not just saying it but actually getting the message across the recipient that you mean it. Sometimes just talking and explaining why the mistake was unintentionally done and a show of remorse will usually warrant forgiveness.

Everyone gets upset and says things they don't mean. At least you're a big enough person to apologize. A lot of people never admit when they're wrong let alone apologize. I DO respect that in a person. It says you have a good heart. God bless.=)

There's no "political sin" and nothing to be forgiven. If you 've been saying what you feel to be true, where is the fault? I will never apologize for my opinions or emotions because then I would only be a liar to both myself and the people I've compromised for. If you feel like you're going the wrong direction, just change it. Don't dwell on past actions with regret because ultimately they bring you to the point you want to be at (if you're lucky enough to find that point), and there's really no other way to get there.

hi..I feel for you truly. I think that no matter what your status or misgivings,a walk in someones shoes could benefit us all.\nI know it's hard for you..but there are so many people that are not sorry for their crimes or some that these people thought they could help at one point in time to only be disappointed,they may be hardened and unseeing to anything else.It doesn't make it right but it makes them human too.I hope that in time you will be treated better and who knows..maybe the one that treats you worst really likes you the most.Stay true to yourself and don't let their treatment get you down.If you hold your smile sooner or later they may smile back.

Well, think about it this way. \n\nIf somebody holds their head down and they're gazing at the ground, what's the first impression that you get? Probably a pretty dull and unhappy one, no matter how they look.\n\nNow, imagine you meet somebody who makes immediate eye contact with a smile on his face, and he stretches his hand out to you while politely saying, "Hi, I'm John".\n\nThe way we say things and the way we look at people / greet people is the main idea that's going to stick in their head. As a matter of fact, nobody's going to worry about what you look like, they're just going to care about how you approach people and the confidence you have. So really, nobody's 'doomed' to any particular degree of being 'hot' or 'not'... It's all in your attitude that reflects.

Yes for most people. Giving someone else a second chance also says a lot about yourself. Some things simply cannot be forgiven, but they tend to be things of a violent nature. Try to forgive and forget when posible.

yes, in person and be nice about it its going to hurt enough without adding salt to the wound . Tell them why if they ask and be honest .

Yes...  It's called compassion.  And it's a good thing, in moderation, of course.  A lot of people have a "who cares?" attitude and end up hurting people in their lives, whether important people or the random fellow shopper at the grocery store.\n\nThere's a thin line in the relationship of being brutal, mean, honest, compassionate, truthful, white-liar, etc..  The trick is to no when you're being TOO nice or when you're being TOO mean.\n\nPerhaps you can still be honest and sincere but not hurtful... like maybe respond with something like... "Yeah, I was thinking maybe next time, if we decide to go out again, we can do something like ----- fill in blank with ideas -----... what do you think?"  ... if he/she says a flat out "no"... hey... why bother making a 2nd date..  ya know?  And if he/she says it'd be fine with him/her... then you've got potential!

It is a nice reflex to have.  Most people prob'ly know they did the bumping, but don't get mad at yourself, "sorry" is a good habit to have.

no, try not getting emotionally attached to jerks. anyone that makes you feel bad is not worth the time.

To hear a guy say that he is sorry really really sorry is a good start.(IF HE HAS FLOWERS, IT MAKES IT BETTER)

No. i would not forgive them. they are obviously not your good friend so you should not worry about what they think of you. you should find better people to talk to!
