Does “dance of joy” adequately cover it? ---

So “GLOMP!” is complimentary? Roger that. **writes in dictionary** Man, it’s so hard to keep up with current terminology. ---

[Here](http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/jpgs/bridgeke.jpg) is why they call me the Mad Hermit. However, I’m afraid it’s worse- [here I am on the right at Gettysburg.](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/GettysburgPAFestJune19/DSCF0015) Now that someone truly ugly has posted, this thread will die. ---

> [@Knorf](#): > > The sheer narcissicism of this thread is simply awe-inspiring! We do, as a species, appreciate it when others think we’re attractive, don’t we? I don’t think there is anything narcissistic about it. There is nothing vain about wanting some feedback or reassurance re: your appearance. Humans base so much on appearance that to NOT be concerned with it is disingenous at best and/or illogical. Now, if there were thread after thread of cries for reassurance/reinforcement of opinions, then yeah, narcissism would be at hand. I do agree with you, though-it would great if people could say in RL what is easily said here. Compliments are too rarely given, IMO. ---

> [@Rooves](#): > > **Indygrrl** , smoking effing hot. Personality could make that go up or down. but based on the pic, hot! My friend in Japan calls me Mamushi, which means viperess. haha. So, the personality really goes all over the place, probably making me ugly to women, but hotter to guys. 😃 ---

No, I don’t think I’m ugly. I’m no Will Smith, or Matt Damon, but there’s only one of each of them. ---

> [@Rooves](#): > > **Raingrowsbright** Whoa! The tongue definitely gives you points and the fact that I can’t tell what your hands are doing.

Very nice indeed. I don’t normally go in for girls with body piercings, but in your case, I think an exception could be readily made. ---

> [@overlyverbose](#): > > My mom thinks I’m a tub and could use to lose about 40 pounds. Then again, my cousin was a model in Milan, so I guess she has unrealistic expectations. I think I’m, eh, okay. Not scary ugly, not particularly pretty. This is [me](http://www.geocities.com/amackay2/ContributorPhotofull.JPG) with a very bad, shiny sunburn and no makeup. Yech. I very rarely do this, 'cause no-one will ever say “yes you’re ugly” to anyone here so compliments sound kinda hollow, but you _are_ pretty. Trust me on this. As for me, no, I’m not ugly. I’m not Jude Law or Johnny Depp, but I think I can [hold my own](http://www.claymore.nu/bilder/jag.html). ---
