Hey some of us are average…oh and that whole self esteem thing.
Glad to be of service.
I’m probably something of an acquired taste. (I’m the boy.)
I like that phrasing. I’m going to use that next time. 
My self-esteem is absolutely in the shitter about my looks, but I do seem to get laid once in a while, so obviously it’s not so bad that attractive people can’t stand to be near me. Not all of them, at any rate.
I would definitely prefer to be slender and have non-wonky eyes, clear skin, and better hair. Those are my main areas of insecurity. The rest of me, I think, is fairly okay.

Oh, you guys are so sweet! <sniff>
To this day, it is really hard to approach a guy that I’m interested in (which must be why I’ve done it, what, twice?)- I get all stumbly and awkward, too, knorf. Sheesh. If I saw of knorf or Roland in a coffee shop, I would do what I always do when I see a cute guy: say absolutely nothing. Works like gangbusters, I tells ya.
I just came back from a-way-too-long day at work, and the compliments totally cheered me up! Thanks, Dopers!
ps…rather embarrassed that I had completely conflated cuauhtemoc’s indigenous name with his appearance… d’oh
Oh, yes, it does. Not so much if your goal is actual contact with a guy like that, but that’s how it goes. I spoke at length with a cute guy today, but that was only because I work with him.
Enjoyment indeed. You look beautiful. Determined, intelligent, how ya doin’?
You win. 
Jayn_Newell, you look a lot like my friend Reilly.
Yeah, and you know what’s funny? Based on those pics you posted, I’d be looking right back atcha, and choosing the exact same course of action. And if either one of us actually managed to say ‘hi’ to one another, we’d probably start up a conversation, and might hang out and have a good bit of fun afterwords.
But nope…we’d be sitting there, thinking “gee, (s)he’s cute”, drinking our coffee, and just letting the moment pass by.
Yeah, I’ve been there a time or a thousand, and you’re right…works like a charm.
After decades of believing otherwise, I can finally say that no, I’m not ugly. Maybe even a notch above average. Cite.
(And of course, I had to go and waste it by getting a great boyfriend who liked me before he even knew what I looked like.)
Don’t tease me like that! I think Janeeane Garofolo is adorable, and if you look anything like her then I simply must insist that you post a link to a picture of yourself.
My pictures are on page 5. I forgot to say that I think I am below average but not dangerously so. I don’t have tons of people that comment nicely on my looks but they don’t recoil and barf either.
And to add to your self-esteem problems, you messed up your coding, too. :eek: ;j
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?
Seriously, though, it fascinates me that it is so much easier to tell people we think they’re attractive in a forum like this than it would ever be in real life.
taxi78cab, aurelian, I’m casting furtive glances in your direction.
If only it were so easy to be open and honest in person. Although, people seem to manage somehow…
…mmmmm, tall, “geeky” girls…swoon…
No, I’m not ugly.
Thank you, Beautiful! 
I’m definitely looking you up if I’m ever in Bahrain.
aurelian, you were picturing this guy, maybe?
I’m in Sacramento, silly. Are you one of those air-headed cuties?
Sacramento? Is that in, like, East or West Bahrain? <tosses hair back with vacuous flourish… a faint but audible rattling sound can be heard>
This is fun! I like seeing the people who I have been talking (well, listening) to!
Here’s some fun ones of me
