I don't really understand the point of this whole "Look at me how I ugly I've become!" challenge. I'm not saying they are ugly but that by participating they're kinda claiming that about themselves, right? Weird.

Yo, these aren't glow downs. Y'all just didn't get dressed up and put on makeup. And that's okay! I don't think I've done those things either in MONTHS considering the current state of affairs. It's been liberating....And comfortable. Honestly not sure if I can go back to the way things were.

I peaked in kindergarten; now I'm 100 lbs heavier.

I’m not a fan of these articles tbh...... an esp cute pic of me 8 yrs ago vs. an unflattering current one w/o makeup & hair not done all up? This is not interesting..... I feel for these young women

And in all and all, reality is that you need to work for things to enjoy them. The outside don't matter. Looks fade. Brains just grow smarter. Being insta-famous doesn't last. Being the cute drinking girl doesn't last. Being the sleep all day and party all night girl doesn't last. Etc. The wake up call comes to everyone regardless. Some hear it sooner than others. And ladies, you are still beautiful human beings.

These after pics are when you've gained 15 lbs in 15 years or just a bad haircut. Why is gaining some weight so bad ffs women age and have kids things sag. Men too. They lose their hairline and thicken in the middle while their legs look skinnier and frailer. And that's by 35. Forget about what you will look like at 50 most people are unrecognizable next to their 25 yr old self

Another one of these huh?

so many obviously just trying to get on the trend. just slap some makeup on and they won't look much different from their 'before' pic

These ladies are all beautiful!

Most of these woman look NORMAL. This thread is bullshit and a waste of space. All this does is perpetuate the myth that woman must be shinny and beautiful in order to be worth anything. We would NEVER see anything like this about a man. NEVER.

most of these are jut people who stopped wearing makeup and didn't smile. some did gain weight but they're still pretty. they didn't glow down.

These are just photo's of women with a lot of makeup vs without makeup

Half of these are just with no makeup, poor angles, and not giving a s**t. Not really a glow down just a "reality of life" picture. The other half is a result of low physical activity and poor eating. This is a not a glow down either as they actually have control over their appearance if they tried to take care of their bodies.

I suspect all these girls live in red states.

So, it's all about weight gain. Yeah, I'm struggling to go back to where I was too. Our culture and eating habits, and probably a host of pollutants and ENDLESS STRESS, cause us to eat too much, or just gain weight regardless. It sucks. I wish you luck in knocking off the weight, just like I am trying to do.

Why do you think you look bad because you gained a few pounds or have a crappy camera angle? Like, come on.

Honestly bored panda. Another one of these.

Much of the glow downs are due to having children before age 25, marriage way before age 25, making major life choices based on fantasy and expectation rather than reality and logic, and life handing them the consequences and accountability of all listed above.

Great visualization about what happens to women/girls who go off to college and take Gender Studies classes. Get woke go broke. More specifically- get woke get ugly, inside and outside.
