Almost any form of advice which begins with "just" is usually trying to wave away real problems. Go on, try it. Instead of "build a rocketship to go to the moon," do "Just build a rocketship to go to the moon." Sounds a lot easier that way, doesn't it?
But all of the self-improvement stuff doesn't help if you, say, have Goldenhar Syndrome, or a major handicap, or perhaps you have some very unfortunate facial features, or you have to care for an elderly parent, or any number of things.
It isn't always as simple as "people who haven't been trying hard enough."
- philwelch 6y agoOK, fine. Just sit around feeling sorry for yourself, then. That’s the easy way out. It won’t improve things any, but improving things sounds hard and you might not succeed at it so why bother trying?
- H_Pylori 6y agoYour lack of life experience is showing. Some people who are born in unfortunate situations need heroic amount of efforts just to "make it", and it's not like in the movies where there's always a happy ending. Sometimes you just lose, nature doesn't care. If you are 5 feet tall man with a face that only a mother could love your dating options will be extremely limited. Yes you can "improve" your situation by massive amount of efforts, but it's not realistic for the vast majority of people.
