Did I get uglier as years passed by?

When I was 15, I came to NYC for the first time. You have no idea how many compliments and stares I got. I wouldn’t even wear much makeup, and wouldn’t dress too explicit. Mostly african americans would whisper in my ear on the street, or should how beautiful I was. I never understood this, as I was an awkward girl. Now I am five years older and I get no compliments at all. Nobody even looks at my face. I think that I look better than I did then, so why is this happening? I just want to know the reason behind it. Did I get uglier?
