Well POOP. I guess I’ll have to post something… I started this retarded thing. UMMM, right now at this point in time I’d have to say… 8.4 and 1/2 I don’t weigh a whole heck of a lot, 112.LBS The nose is straight. I have LOTS of hair. ON MY HEAD… Look like heck in the mornings… The lips could be fuller. But I’ve seen worse… ok FINE… THATS WHAT I’M GOING WITH 8.4 1/2 ---

[Not really](http://fathom.org/cgi-bin/pm.cgi?login=elmwood&action=display). I consider 5 to be “average” on the 0 to 10 Comité International des Poids et Mesures Systeme d’Attraction. On AmIHotOrNot, I scored a 6 – that’s where I expected to be. If I lost 5 or 10 pounds, maybe a 6.5. ---

Realistically, I’m a 5 on a good day. But most days I feel like a 2 or 3. ---

No I don’t. Wife thinks I’m cute, but she’s weird. Sometimes I think I’m a 6 when I’m really gussied up and wearing my love clothes, but generally I rate myself as a 4. I’d be more attractive if I wasn’t such an anti-social prick, but then I wouldn’t be being myself, which is unattractive in itself… I’m so torn on how to be a hunk!!! ---

I’m probably about a 4. Even when I get dressed up, I don’t really feel great. ---

I think I’m cute as all get out. But I’m not really very attractive. ---

[Fat Bastard] I’m dead sexy! [/Fat Bastard] No really, I’d say I’m a 6 or 7 on most days. I tried to kick that up to a 10 this weekend, but wasn’t really successful. ---

On a good day, I could pass for [this guy](http://www.fredcorp.com/tull/archives/acrylic.jpg). On a bad day, I stay home and hide. What number is that? ---

Varies… I don’t think I’m ugly, but by the same token I’m not getting a whole lot of double-takes either - Sarah plain and tall, except, umm, not female :p. When I’m too lazy to make myself presentable, I guess I’m a 5. On average, I think I hit 6-6.5, and when I really make an effort I reckon I could hit 7.5-8. If I built up a little and was more extroverted I think I’d add a point or so onto all of those - my self-confdence needs a little work. ---

I still don’t consider myself above 4, but I’ve been told otherwise by a lot of people. But I do workout and dance a lot, am in farily good shape for my age. I’ve gotten a lot more compliments in recent years, so I must be doing something right. Oh, and learning to groom and dress myself properly made a hell of a difference. ---

I am attractive. Babies like to chew my my knuckles and dogs sit on my feet. I’m a 7 most days, an 8.5/9 tonight(if you like my type). I went to a party all glittery, so I feel very appealing. I did stop traffic a couple of years ago----a man in a car was smiling at me and not paying attention to his driving. The driver of the other car was also smiling at me and not paying attention and turned the wrong way down a parking aisle. I was walking across the parking lot and they nearly collided. They braked and all the cars behind them had to wait for them to sort it out. ---

I’m not going to give myself a number. I do consider myself attractive - but to me what is important is not physical beauty. Check the link in my sig if you want to evaluate me yourself. ---

I think I’m actually better looking since I hit my mid 20’s, put on some weight, and grew a goatee (bear in mind when I was in my teens I was super skinny). I got all trimmed up for my brother’s wedding and I think I hit about a level 7 on the good looks meter, but in everyday life I average about 5.5 to 6. Like Cyn, kids (particularly babies) seem to like me for some odd reason. I still try and make eye contact with babies and toddlers just to amuse them, they probably think between the glasses and goatee that I look a bit comical. ---

Well, I think I’m adorable … like, I can do an impression of an 8-year-old girl dead-on, and it always makes people smile and say how “cute” it is! But I’m not attractive, physically, no. On [amIhotornot.com](http://amIhotornot.com) I got a 3.8. I think they over-rated me. I give myself a [3](http://home.earthlink.net/~caiata/pics/m/). YMMV, of course. (Ooh, look at that! My first time using an SDMB-regulated acronym! I think I’m getting hooked…) ---

Y’know I was looking at myself in the mirror recently, and I thought, “Hmm, you know I’m actually rather good looking.” I wouldn’t change anything about my general head area, even if I could, except maybe reverse my premature receding hairline. But I don’t think it makes me more unattractive, just different looking. The fact that I’ve lost about a hundred pounds over the last year and gotten some color from working outside, probably helps a lot, too. I’m not sure if I can rate myself objectively. I’m not a 10. Maybe a 6-7. ---

Seeing as how I’ve **never** received a compliment regarding my physical appearance, I am left to conclude that I am, at best, a 3. I don’t frighten children or small animals, so I’m probably not a 1 or 2. ---

Tonight, in my formal with sparkly makeup and jewelry and pretty shoes and a shawl and a magic wand, I felt like a 10. Most days, I feel around 6. On really shitty days, about 2. I don’t really think I’m that cute. I’m too tall and too broad to be truly cute. I’m not really beautiful/gorgeous either. “Mildly attractive” is how I’d put it. ---
