Do You Feel Attractive?

**JulietCapulet** · 01-12-2011, 05:36 PM

How attractive do you feel you are physically? Particularly to the opposite sex?

Note: The poll is meant to be humorous so please don't take it too seriously.

**Kisai** · 01-12-2011, 05:42 PM

I feel pretty sexy. Perhaps even too sexy for this thread.

**Axel** · 01-12-2011, 05:43 PM

Short answer; no.

---

I'm not able to determine how attractive I am.

**CoolHand24** · 01-12-2011, 05:43 PM

Since I haven't been out on a date in 5+ years, not so good. However I haven't tried or approached anyone so that could be it too, at least that's what I keep telling myself lol.

No, I'm aware of how unattractive I am. I haven't not received subliminal messages/attention about my lips, hair, eyes etc. since I was 16.

psykhe · 01-12-2011, 06:06 PM

Hmm I think I'm not bad.. People say I am more attractive in person. That is in a personal level.

**SirJamesIII** · 01-12-2011, 06:08 PM

I'm somewhere between the "I'm not bad" option and the "super hot" option.

I'd say I'm very confident about the way I look. It is a blessing I am fortunate to have, considering that genetic predisposition takes a big role in this fact. I'm tall and physically fit. My looks certainly change the way I'm perceived upon first impression. The amount that I approach women probably equals the amount they approach me. However as soon as I sense that I give the impression that people find me attractive, I try to act kinda goofy took break the tension that often comes with it. Sometimes that only goes so far, and some women's feelings toward me are dictated more by how much they are attracted to me as opposed to how much they appreciate my personality. I often wish that I wasn't as attractive as I am (here goes some pretty boy complaining about his looks) because of that awkward tension that is generated. It definitely creates misunderstanding like: you must get laid a lot, or you must have had plenty of girlfriends. Neither of which is true. I'm an INTJ, and touching the opposite sex can even seem a little scary at times.

**Mai** · 01-12-2011, 06:14 PM

I'm pretty confident in my looks as well. I know how to accentuate my strong points and work with my problem areas. I also know that people have different preferences so what one finds attractive vary from person to person. If someone's into tall, blond hair, blue eyes... that's not me. I'm more a baby face, short, brunette.

**Dru** · 01-12-2011, 06:17 PM

meh.

**priestofsyrinx** · 01-12-2011, 06:18 PM

I'm completely confused about my attractiveness.

Not to be unkind, but every obese girl I've met except for maybe one has been attracted to me, often intensely. However, I've only had one very brief relationship, a few dates with other girls, never been kissed (at 18, going on 19), etc. I've also found that most girls that are 2 years younger than me or younger have liked me. However, girls in my class have seldom acted attracted to me or outwardly expressed any interest.

Now you're probably asking, "How do you know they aren't?" The simple answer: by comparing the way attractive girls in my graduating class act to the way obese girls and girls that are about 2 years younger than me act.

They never seem nervous, blush, look at me a lot, or act interested in what I have to say. There's some combination of signals I get from these girls, and I'm certain they're interested in me.

I surmise it's because my graduating class knew me in middle school, when I was much less developed in my social skills and my Te, and have given me a stigma as a "freak" or "annoying." I wouldn't guess I was horribly unattractive. If anyone wants to tell me for some reason, I posted my picture in the picture thread.

I wouldn't consider myself that handsome but apparently I am to some degree as I do get hit on by girls, and on rare occasions by men as well. I'm no pretty boy, I guess I'm usually described as "rugged".

**karenann33** · 01-12-2011, 06:30 PM

I'm 44 with 3 kids. When I'm on top of my game (eating right, working out and wearing the right clothes) I can turn a few heads and even get hit on occasionally.

When I'm not....well "frumpy mom" best describes me. I truly can swing both ways.

The good thing is most people guess my age to be 35 so that I'll take. I clean up nice.

**Oblivious** · 01-12-2011, 07:16 PM

I guess I look ok for a dude.

I definitely look a lot better than I used to. I've become a completely different person over the last year. I've lost a lot of weight and gotten into better shape. I look twice as good as I used to, but I would still only rate myself as average.

I think my look probably only appeals to a few people. I could be wrong though. It's not like anyone has ever told me I look good. I've been told I look better than I used to.

Actually, a few older women have made some comments behind my back about me looking good, or at least, someone told me they did. You know how that she said he said stuff is though. I don't really put much weight on it.

**Eye on Earth** · 01-12-2011, 07:24 PM

I'm your token super model, literally. Did I just blow the curve?

I get along fine with women and, well, it's kind of annoying but even guys hit on me. I feel cursed because the "I'm cute...but not smokin" guys get the awesome women. I get the ones who only want me for my looks.

FYI...I wore an eyepatch one week to see if I attracted more women who were genuine and it worked. WTF?

**phoboser** · 01-12-2011, 07:28 PM

It depends on the lighting.

**SteppingStone** · 01-12-2011, 07:33 PM

I'm a pale, balding, pudgy 24-year-old. So, uh, no. I look better than I used to thanks to losing almost all the excess weight, but all that did was take me from fat to flabby, not fit.

What sucks is that I was really quite good looking in my adolescence. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Having been on both sides of the attractiveness fence, I'll say this: it makes all the difference in the world.

**JulietCapulet** · 01-12-2011, 08:21 PM

I'm sure you are all beautiful people...this was just a joke poll. I really hope I didn't offend anyone with my choices. I asked if this thread could be closed...because I was just being silly and didn't realize I might hurt someone's feelings.

**CaesAug** · 01-12-2011, 08:26 PM

Nope.

**SchizoidWacha** · 01-12-2011, 08:44 PM

Is it a "self-deprecation thread"?
Weee! Finally!

As an INTJ I don't FEEL attractive, I only THINK I am attractive :D
So I voted for "I am a target for bird excrement".
Not that I am. To be honest I'm such an ugly person that even birds avoid me.

Ok, joking aside, even if someone finds me attractive and compliments my looks (which is a very rare scenario) I refuse to feel attractive. I refuse to feel anything. That's because I don't want to become an "compliment-addict". I don't want to become someone who needs others to feel good about himself. I don't want to need other people. I want to be self-sufficient.
Probably INTJ-thing.

**ladyobscure** · 01-12-2011, 08:47 PM

I'm attractive in an elusive kinda way. I have the features and the body that is considered attractive but I wear quite tomboyish/bohemian clothing...doesn't go very well with most people's preconceived notions about a brown girl...

**ludius** · 01-12-2011, 08:58 PM

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My mom told me that I have the most beautiful face she's ever seen, more handsome than my dad. But school should be my priority so I should forget about girls until I finish college.

But my friends say otherwise. They advise me to keep studying and finish college. So that I can land a high-paid job and get my face reconfigured by a skilled surgeon. They say I really need a facial surgery and a new face is necessary unless I'm content with my face that looks like a bicycle seat.

**TenochAcampicht** · 01-12-2011, 09:00 PM

I am cute but not supermodel in my opinion, I have a decent face, high cheekbones, full lips, however, I my body is not in the state I desire it to be at present, I haven't been able to workout for a while due to studies and so on. I'm not obese, just average at this stage with the rest.

I dress very well though.
