I don't get DMs because no one recognizes me.
I literally walked into a bar with 14-15 men and women from my graduating class. I recognized and named each one. Not a single one of them recognized me.
I can blend in with a fed, doctor, magat, retail employee, door sales man.
For a long time the invisibility was painful.
But recently I realize, it can have a lot of power too.
I'm forced to assume that you are now surprisingly attractive, as well. That's the way out goes with the person I never noticed in school.
Of course, part of it might be that my definition of attractive grew up to be a lot healthier than it was when I was a kid.
I'm flattered! I have less hair, no beard, and a lot more muscle.
Unfortunately my ex-wife really fucked with my self-image so I don't actually know how attractive I am or not. Plus I'm like anti-photogenic, I just can't get a good picture.
