Well??? Shoot, lets get really brave and give yourself a number between 1 and 10. 10 being the highest of the highest. ---

I’d give myself a 5.5 most days. If I’d quit smokling, it’d be better, and if my face wouldn’t randomly break out. Plus the extra weight I carry around. But I do have that “Facts of Life” look going for me. But today? I felt totally cute. Today, I’m an 8 or higher. 🙂 ---

I’d say I’m a 7. I stop neither clocks nor traffic. ---

1. 6, at best. ---

8.0 🆒 8.5 if I can drop these pesky 5 lbs. ---

Normally I’d consider myself a 2 or 3. Right now though, I’m all spiffed up for a party so I’m nearly a 5. ---

I have been known to feel anywhere from a 3 to a 7. ---

Most normal days…2-3 points. If I have to take my glasses off for something(usually photos, but also when a guy asks about how I look without them), I consider myself a 5 or 6. If I’m going out, and really take care on selecting the clothes, washing my face, brushing my hair, and looking decently, then a 7 or 8, even with glasses. _Sigh_, I consider some parts of me more cute/attractive than others. For example, I can rate my face with an 8 or 9 almost any day(of course, without glasses), but I can’t rate the rest of my body that high. Is this the same for other Dopers? ---

According to [hotornot.com](http://hotornot.com) a while back I’m a 7.something. But I’ve got new better pictures, and a new better me now. Maybe I should try again. Most days I think I’m fairly attractive, some days I’m really not. Getting compliments from other people (even if I was fishing for them, so what?) lets me think I’m good looking. ---

7.5 - 8 on a good day. 6 when I’m wearing glasses and can see myself clearly. 4-5 when I’m feeling hideous. ---

I figure about a 5, but considering how way, _way_ off a lot of the posters here are, I wonder if I’m underestimating myself. ---

In all honesty, I’m a 3. Maybe a 4 or a 5 on a really good hair day when I am wearing pretty makeup and nice clothes. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Attrayant \* > \*\*Waitaminute. At what point does traffic stop? Maybe I’m not an 8 after all ☹ \*\* Heh. That whole clock/traffic thing is just my way of saying that while I’m not ugly, I’m not drop-dead gorgeous, either. It’s my own estimation of myself, that’s all. What matters most is what you rate yourself. And if you give yourself an 8.5, then you must be darn cute. 🙂 ---

I am the be-all, end-all of masculinity. All the women want me, and all the men want to be me. I’d guess I rank myself about a **twelve and a half.** [Here](http://lavender.fortunecity.com/dale/7/tom203.jpg) [are](http://lavender.fortunecity.com/dale/7/tomflames.jpg) [some](http://www.bigartists.hpg.ig.com.br/tomcruise/movies/topgun/caps/topgun046.jpg) [pics.](http://www.bigartists.hpg.ig.com.br/tomcruise/gallery/promo/magazines/tom/us01.jpg) [sub]Nah, just F-in around. I’d probably rank myself about a 7 or so; I occasionally have attractive women approach me, but they’re usually drunk. Don’t have any real pictures to put up tho’.[/sub] ---

I played the [hotornot.com](http://hotornot.com) game a couple times, but then it gave me a sickly feeling, rating people quantitatively on nothing more than their external appearance. I reflected on people I’d known who I felt were _very_ hot and attractive because of their inner qualities, because something in their soul touched something in my soul – but who if I’d gone on facial appearance alone I would have rated 2 or 3. I just felt wrong about ranking people that way so superficially. I know it’s just done in fun, but the fun went out of it. A person’s inner self is so much more important. And I’m not making excuses for myself being ugly, because my face and body really are very attractive, take my word for it. I’m not so sure about my inner self, though. What good is it to look “hot” on the outside and be ugly on the inside? I have doubts about myself there.
