Love is one four letter word that has brought happiness into the life of so many people as well as pain. You are created for love; to love be loved. However, for you to be a good lover of another you must first and foremost learn to love yourself. It would be self deception to say you love others when you don't love yourself.
There is just no one that is not loveable irrespective of your stature or beauty. It takes accepting who you are to get others to accept you. Many times I have seen people who don't like the way they were created by God. "If only I was fair in complexion," you hear someone say and so if they sit by a fair complexion person, they feel intimidated. They think the light complexion gets all the attention and loveg.
(this happens mostly among women). Its sad that some people think that way, but then its not true that dark skinned people get less attention and are loved less.
Friends, no matter who you are; tall, short, fat, slim, dark or light, love yourself if you want others to love you. You can't attract love until it is found in you. You cannot be busy putting yourself down and expect someone to come raise you up. You must first put in effort to raise yourself. Look yourself up in the mirror and feel good and be happy with the person staring back at you from the mirror.
It is said to love your neigbhour as yourself. So to love others you must love yourself first.
