Davey Wavey Is Tired Of Hot Guys Telling Him They’re Not Attractive
On a crusade to make everyone think they’re more beautiful than they feel, Davey Wavey says he’s getting messages on Grindr (ahem) from hot guys who aren’t responding to his “You are beautiful” project the way he wanted. So what are self-deprecating guys to do about finding some self-confidence? “Even if you don’t like the way you look, fake it.” Yeah, gays! Fake it until you make it … to the gym, six times a week, cut 500 calories out of your diet every day, get your crooked smile fixed, start a Proactiv regimen, and do something about that nasty breath. In the meantime, stay pretty!
Guys, his message is about feeling good about how you look no matter what and all you can say is “He’s a moron, get a job.”
If he posted a video saying he hoped we can one day end war and cure cancer people here would probably still say “Shut up no one cares what you think!”

He is certainly correct that being confident and positive is much better for success than being gloomy and negative. Speaking personally however I did go to the gym for 6 days a week for a year and I had very little to show for a lot of effort. People’s bodies are different. Surely people are familiar with the term scapegoat? I don’t know what the term is for perpetually unsuccessful at romance, but I think there is something similar for that. Remember “Ted” on Queer as Folk? In other words, no matter what you do (popularity or influence at the office, politics, neighborhood groups – anything where there is a pecking order) there will be a few at the top, some in the middle and some at the bottom.

@TJ Your fail comment has failed. Go away, troll.
Anyway, great vlog. I agree with this message so much. However, I’m a bit peeved about the article’s closing. Way to undermine the message, guys.
I mean, of course one should always seek to keep healthy and improve themselves, but the flippant attitude with which you bring it up here seems far less like encouragement and more like demanding everyone conform to mainstream standards of beauty. Weird way to close an article about being confident with what you’ve got.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing attractive about bad breath, but crooked smiles happen to make me weak at the knees. And, while, if you want to lose weight I totally encourage you in the endeavor, you don’t have to be skinny to be drop dead gorgeous.

He is delivering a good message. Where did he say anything about judging him, didn’t hear that request.
So don’t shoot the messenger, cuz he has nothing to do with the message except for delivery. Would u shoot your mailman?
Listen up. Some of you guys make the judgmental religious right look like Mother Teresa.

Some people bitch just to hear their own voice (or read their own comments.) I think davey is very cute. And I highly doubt any of you would kick him out of bed. For now I have more important things to complain about than his well defined pectorals, DOMA, prop 8, Maggie the hutt, the logistics of finding a hot foreign husband and getting him into the country.

I think he’s super cute and I like his sing song/daffy girl voice. His philosophy on self love, however, is fairly simplistic and somewhat easier to embrace if you’re genetically gifted. Beyond that, I don’t agree with him. I remember a guy I dated actually BLUSHED when I told him he was cute…the fact that he had little idea of how attractive he was was actually refreshing and very sexy in a sea of men trying to “own” it. Yes, confidence can be sexy, but so can modesty, shyness and awkwardness…depends on the guy. But good for Davey Wavey for trying to put something positive out there.

Go Davey Wavey! Everybody online who is responding so negatively were young at one point, and would have benefited from hearing such simple, straightforward, sincere advice. Now, they seem to have attached importance to values other than self-confidence, empathy, sincerity, and the desire to effect change and to be of help.
You go!

Gotta hand it to him for his PR work. He creates quite a stir. Keep it up Davey tho u would become more realistic if we saw a bit of the opposite cheerleader side of u. Currently ur pretty one dimensional and bottom line, we are the rainbow group. A bit of a mix of June Clever and Max Headroom. Buttt. It’s when people don’t talk about you that one should be worried. ;) The worst thing is becoming irrelevant. Ageing “stars” go thru it all the time, ‘taint pretty.

Wow… half of your responses just make me depressed. Are we all that cynical? Whether or not he means what he says or gets paid to say it etc, it’s a good message. If you can’t understand it, then I feel very sorry for your negative mindset. Just enjoy it for what it is. A hunk with an adorable voice giving a positive message, whether or not you agree with it. Don’t be petty and bash him, that’s the most immature form of opposition. Plus, it just makes you look jealous, and jealousy is never pretty. :/

This is what I have been saying to people all along! There is no such thing as ugly!
A person can either be your type or not be. Physically everyone is attractive to someone.
The only ugly people are the ones who say things like this:

Who is this moron? He needs to sit down and just shut up.
Maybe even get a job?
