Do you think that? Or would you consider yourself more average? Anyone around who thinks of themselves as pretty or attractive? ---

I’d describe myself as plain. Not ugly, I hope, but definitely plain. ---

I am like a swedish meatball small, bitter, and round. ---

I think I’m a bit above average, like a 6 or a 7. There are plenty of times when I think I am ugly though. 🙂 ---

I am neither attractive nor repulsive, so I’d be somewhere in that average. ---

I’d put myself near average. Definitely a scrawney average, but an average nonetheless. Probably nearer a 4 than a 6, though. [Cite.](http://www.image4u.org/interface2x/photo.JPG) ---

[I’m](http://teemingmillions.com/people/cgi/pm.cgi?action=show&temp=display_photos&login=Misnomer) kinda cute, but then I’m also kinda fat. So I guess those combine to “average.” 🙂 I would definitely not call myself ugly, but some people think that any extra weight = ugly. I don’t date those people. 😉 ---

It’s beyond gorgeous. The rest of you is cute (you have a nice smile, too) but your hair is to DIE for - glossy, thick, just beautiful. I am so jealous. I’m slender and curvy, but I have thin, straight, babyfine hair and bulgy eyes. I’m not exactly ugly, but I ain’t gonna win any beauty contests either. ---

I’m hideous and sometimes I scare myself. My profile is a frightening thing. I have a very small chin, almost nonexistent. Front on, not too bad, but if you see me from the side first… you’d cringe away. My head is very small, and when I gain weight, I look like I have this little pinhead sitting on a blob. I’m a monster. ☹ ---

I dunno, I’m okay I guess - 7 is probably a good number. I don’t have much of a personality though so it all balances out. ---
