Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML

It sometimes makes me sad that anything above a size 6 is considered "plus size" in the modeling world. And I highly doubt that you're ugly, OP (as your name suggests). The modeling world (and society) can really be very cruel. So sorry! :(

Don't feel bad op. Modeling agencies consider a size 8 to be "too fat." And average looking is not bad. 95% of the people you see everyday walking about are "average looking."

95% is a gross exaggeration. Realistically, about 60% of people are probably within one standard deviation of "average looking". I'd guess maybe 30% are in the "below average range". And about 10% are "above average". Unless you're blind. In which case, by definition everyone is "average-looking" to you.

Who desides who's below and above average-looking?

46- Size 8? No... I think you mean anything beyond a size 4. You're generous! :)

Ah ok. I just use FML on my browser on my Blackberry, because the Blackberry app isn't free. :/ Anyway, ok. It's cool. I'm actually happy for anyone who loves their body. More power to them, as long as they REALLY feel that way and aren't trying to justify unhealthy habits.

YDI for having an extra large figure (unless you have a medical reason, in which case I'm sorry), and YDI for complaining about getting paid to model.

50: I can see most people and find a feature that is nice on them. Like the guy I saw at my daughter's gymnastics class. He is by most standards ugly: chubby, balding, droopy pants, extremely hairy arms and no ass. But he has very pretty green eyes and long eyelashes. It almost seems out of place considering the rest of his looks.

this shouldn't alter the pride you felt when you found out you were chosen; you have an opportunity to share your inner beauty with other women who may also feel like all that matters is body shape or facial appearance.
