How do you meet people to date?

Are you ugly because you're disfigured, or average and lack confidence? You can take care of acne with a good face wash regimen, get into shape with exercise and lifting weights, get a good haircut that highlights your features and work on your grooming (hair, not children). There's no reason why anyone should just resign to being "ugly". If you have no real life friends, then why not make some? If you're socially awkward, then work on it. Like everything else, being social takes practice. Put yourself into social situations, make small talk with a cashier when it's not busy, etc. You can go to Meetup.com and find a group. Find a hobby and find locals to participate. You can go to church even if you're not religious. Unless you live in a rural area, there are usually tons of activities. Most public colleges don't have rules against the public participated in school clubs (that don't take place in campus buildings). For example, dance and culture clubs often occur in parking garages or the gym, in which you could get a membership.

Honestly, to get a girlfriend and keep her long term, you have to gain some finesse in social situations, so I suggest you make some friends first before you focus on romance. You don't have to be a social butterfly, but you should be comfortable keeping a conversation when you need to. If you have a good personality that disarms people, make them feel relaxed and comfortable around you, make them laugh, then no one is going to call you ugly.
