Honestly, if your strategy is to talk to them on the street, you will need much more than straight eyes - we all know that there is a chosen "caste" of men who get it, and we have to drive the rest in the canonical order. - you have to know her first, then to communicate with her, to get to know you, lightly - slowly.
Otherwise, if only your eyes are a problem, don't think about it at all - I have a friend who is also squinting, but he has a boyfriend. It has never been a factor for him - as if it does not exist, but he is actively involved in fitness and has a healthy body.
If you ask me, your bigger problem is that you are a virgin. Only your second paragraph shows how much this bothers you. I guess as a kid in the high school jungle, you endured a lot of ridicule, and that broke your self-esteem. And a man who has no self-confidence - no babes. When you start accumulating years without melting the pepper, your self-esteem drops even more and it becomes even harder to find a girlfriend. And so it becomes a vicious circle.
I have the same problem, except that my physical shortcomings are different and I'm 24. Otherwise the same mercy - you sit all day and think "Not only am I such and such, but if the girl gets tied to me, how will she please teach me to kiss, let alone anything else! ". Or another crushing thought: "Why would anyone go with me, when there are certainly some better suggestions?". Or third: "If it hasn't happened yet, then there is something fundamentally wrong with me!" And I have nothing to explain to you, you know them, my thought is that it's not just you, there are a lot of people like us.
How are squints viewed? Well, I can't give you the female perspective, but I personally don't mind communicating with any people, as long as they are OK with their condition - I'm personally used to joking with mine. This facilitates communication because the other does not feel obliged to pretend that a disability does not exist.
I want to tell you how to solve your problem, but alas, I have not yet found out about myself. Everyone has told me that I need self-confidence and I keep telling them that they have it because they have had girlfriends and have already received emotional validation. I am widely told that it was built by asking several women in a row and being rejected, but I have no idea how this can help and not harm.
Encourage, head up and just look ahead (pun intended: D)
One of the most charming and sexy men I have ever met was squinting with one eye. We only saw each other once two years ago and I still remember him. I am talking seriously. Think about what kind of broadcast it is.
Don't worry at all. I don't think there's a woman who will turn you down because of an eye problem. If they refuse you, it's because you don't have self-confidence or anything, but because of that - no, unless they are some super superficial and flat women.
Yes, I would swallow it! It may impress me, but it is at first glance. Once you talk to me and I like you as a person, I would go out on a date! If I love a person, the fact that he has a slight defect will not bother me!
I'm a man, but there's a boy your age in my neighborhood. Well, what can I tell you - there is an incredible radiance. It's both super radiant and very masculine. He trains and has a pretty well-shaped body, without being ugly split, I was just wondering how he managed to achieve it. Apparently there are good genes for this purpose.
What impresses me the most is that there is such a radiance that it's like I can tell you ... in incredible balance with myself. Just by seeing him, you immediately realize that this person has no problem with himself and his disability. And in a sense, it's not a poseur to pretend he doesn't care or to be arrogant. It's just that his radiance is super calm and at the same time radiates a lot of strength and masculinity and at the same time incredibly radiant and sociable.
Honestly, I have never seen such a memorable charismatic young man radiating such harmony. Just seeing it, you can't help but remember it. I absolutely admire him for having such a balance with himself. I, who do not seem to have a disability, cannot boast of such self-acceptance. I don't know if he was born or developed over time, but think for yourself if there is a problem with women.
You would not be bothered so much by the disability itself (sorry for the word), but by your attitude towards it, resp. it is radiated and others perceive it subconsciously. Even if you manage to accept yourself with this, it will even raise your shares even more, because it is even more impressive to achieve it in the presence of a defect and this would definitely raise your shares. You can kind of turn the defect into an effect.
Remember that you are perfect just the way you are and you don't have to be anyone else to have a girlfriend or anything.
By the age of 5, I had strabismus and was constantly ridiculed in kindergarten. At 5 I had surgery, but it didn't work out. Now I still have a slight strabismus, but most people don't seem to notice. I see double (diplopia), but I'm getting better somehow. So, I think most of the problem is in your head. You were probably rejected as a child because you were squinting and developed some kind of anxiety. I've had several boyfriends and because this topic weighs on me, I've always told them that I'm a little squint and they ... are surprised. They didn't even notice that I was squinting, and while I was with them I constantly thought that they were looking me in the eyes and seeing how my left eye was a little to the side ... Only my first boyfriend when I told her and she started to he looks into my eyes and says 'aha yes, there's something to you'. I don't think I should have said anything at all. something on the eyes.
Well, you can see more, BUT ... I think you can compensate with attitude and status. He works on his body and his attitude towards others and life.
Tip: sunglasses. I feel best with sunglasses because I know they don't notice my micro-strabismus. Like I said, most people don't notice it even when I'm without glasses! It's just that for me, the very idea that I'm a little squint, it's a subconscious in my subconscious and it doesn't allow me to be myself. And I'm working on that ...
Another tip: I instinctively narrow my slightly weaker eye. This creates asymmetry, but it is less likely that others will see that my eyes are wrong. In addition, I try to compensate with a well-shaped beard, hairstyle and go to the gym.
Third tip: sports and driving with one eye. Around my 20s, I was very worried about whether I would ever be able to drive with one eye at all. First I trained on a scooter. Then I slowly drove. At one point I got used to it. I have been driving for a long time and I have thousands of kilometers without a problem. My main problem was parking - obviously stereoscopy is the most important there, but even there I managed to create habits with the price of 2-3 scratches, and because I want a bigger car I think I'll take one with a camera soon. So - I close my weak eye completely and look with only one eye and I recover. Driving gave me confidence, which was passed on to women. In fact, not that it gave me confidence, but rather erased that anxiety that I might not have had at all if I hadn't been so complex about strabismus.
Success!
There are some "flaws" that, in my opinion, can pass for, I do not know if it's the right word, but charming. The idea is to have something to compensate with. There are men who look really weird (Nick Cave, Steve Buscemi, Vincent Cassel), but they are terribly charming, they have an amazing look and this compensates for the crooked features, huge, glazed eyes or giant ears. Do you have charisma? Besides being squinting, what do you look like? Some time ago, somewhere on YouTube, I came across a couple of a man and a woman. The chick was very pretty, and he didn't have one eye. He was wearing a bandage, like a pirate, and to be honest, he was terribly happy with the whole broadcast. Think about what you can emphasize in your vision and character, what are your good traits to attract attention. Of course, not everyone will be willing to go out with you if you turn the whole world upside down.
And, as they said above, it's a hell of a lot harder to talk to women on the street. Accumulation of many personal tales and the attitude of the woman. Personally, I am horrified by such a thing, if it is Mr. Universe. I don't like it, I don't know women who like it.
It's all in your head. I have a friend (you can't understand where one eye is looking at him), at your age, that even younger he got dirty with a really cool chick, they are still a family, already twenty years old, they have four children. In the beginning, they lived with her parents, don't think. that she was greedy for his possessions. They are from the same rug. The woman just likes him, what if he has a crooked eye, he is not just an eye.
I have two close women married to squinting men. So, yes, to a large extent, you set your limits.
I'll notice it, but I won't care.
Women are interested in the behavior of a man - masculine, gentleman, caring.
If I personally have to choose between super beautiful, but with a nasty character and squint, but who cares and appreciates me ... I will choose squints :)
I recommend you to train, not only because you will get a good body shape, but also because sport is health.
Calm down, once you start to realize that these are things only in your head, then you have started to kill them and soon you will no longer have this complex. You will even enjoy coping with life, despite your disability.
Really interesting.
I'll tell you a friend of mine, very beautiful, but everything is made to order and with a very low self-esteem.
I met her recently, there had been an accident and she had hurt her face, quite ugly, not irreparable, but ugly.
And she told me with a smile that since she had threatened her self-esteem and risen.
And she has no explanation why.
He says, I'm tired of being envied for perfection, now that I'm disabled and I'm resting.
I don't understand it, but it's a fact.
You have nothing. Being squinting will not bother anyone. At least I don't think that bothers you. I guess it's because of your shame. If you are a small person, you are ashamed to talk to the girls, and usually we girls are used to the boy taking the first step and we ourselves are ashamed to talk to a boy quite often, so swallow the shame somehow, don't be so small and anxious, if you like a girl, go to him, talk to him, ask him to come out like that ... Don't be ashamed of being squinting. No man is perfect. Good luck!
"I wonder why I'm the way I am. The fact that I'm not a normal person, or that it's all in my head and the only thing that limits me from living a normal life is me."
Dude, you're limiting yourself. It is told to you by a man who has limited himself for many years, thinking that something is still wrong with him.
I was quite full, shy, with gynecomastia and glasses. All this until the age of 21. I took myself in hand, lost weight, improved my posture, gait and everything. But the chicks never started to stick.
Then I realized that I am an obstacle to myself, that whatever I do, if I do not change internally, I will never succeed.
After all, I somehow managed to love myself, stand in front of the mirror and say to myself - I love myself, I don't have to do anything or prove myself to anyone. Then I finally came to peace with myself. Only then did the most beautiful woman, with whom we have been together for 5 years, appear.
I hope you understand what I mean. It is not your eye as an object that is the problem in this case, but your defeatist thought. I have a colleague with the same problem, he is very sociable and married to a very beautiful woman. I have a friend who stutters, but he is the soul of the company.
I wish you success.
I'm a girl but I'll tell you that I squint one eye sometimes. I can see well but I blame him. I would become a boyfriend with such a boy because one eye is not a problem. Character is important. And I have a few girlfriends but better fewer friends to suffer less when they betray you.
Unless you were born that way (you carry heavier karma because you lived nefariously in a previous incarnation), then squinting is a consequence of a long time in which a person does not want to see himself as he is - he does not like a part of himself and deviates look at yourself, and your problems.
Correction of this behavioral pattern, plus splashing the eyes with cold water, 11 pcs in the morning. general and self-suggestion - I see better. Also gymnastics of the eyeball, light, circular massage with fingers on the closed eyelid, clockwise. Contemplation in nature, but light, without tension, concentration, but again without tension, on a flame, on a candle.
I am slightly squinting with one eye and I can't lie to you that I don't have complexes about this, but I got used to it and accepted myself as I am. After all, no one is perfect, and they shouldn't be, because what disgusts some is a fetish for others. As a woman, I tell you that I would prefer a man with any small defects to a man who stinks of sweat and unwashed teeth. If you take care of your hygiene, your clothes and perfume are up to standard (but without fanaticism) you will not have problems with women and of course you will know how to predispose them to unforgettable meetings with you. Don't be ashamed of yourself, take care of yourself and love yourself so that women love you too.
