A bit less than 5–maybe 4.5 at this point. I gained about 20 or 25 pounds over the summer. When (and if) I lose that weight, I might go back to a 5. And, honestly, I don’t clean up well. I think that dressing up and/or wearing revealing or clingly things makes me look lousier than I do in jeans and my crappy hiking boots. I might hit 5.5 or 6 on a good day. –Scribble. ---

You can click on the www icon at the bottom of this post to see my pic. As for the rating, I think I’m an 8. I’m not beautiful, and I could never be a model. My teeth aren’t perfect and I always have a blemish because I smoke and drink too much coffee. But I think I have pretty eyes and people just seem to love my smile. I guess I just reached a point where I got sick of hating the way I looked, so I chopped off all my hair, decided to stop trying to hide my figure in baggy clothes, and told myself I was breathtakingly beautiful until I started to believe it. I’m much happier now. I’m still single, but I get asked out a lot. I’m occasionally the center of attention at bars. People honk at me and yell things when I walk down the street in the city. In general, since I started working on my self-esteem, people treat me much better, flirt with me more, and seem to like me better. Having once been a hideously ugly, ridiculed child (I could show y’all some terrifying, nightmare-inducing photos), I just really like the way I look now. **Monster104** - I have seen plenty of pictures of you and you are NOT a 3! You are at least a 9. You have one of the most brilliant, beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen. That’s not flirting, that the truth. ---

Maybe a 6. A 7 on a good cleavage day. My self esteem used to be much much lower, especially when I was heavier. Then one day (when I was still 25 lbs heavier than I am now), I started to see myself the way others see me, and my self esteem started going up. ---

I guess I’d give myself a 2 or 3. On a good day, maybe 4.5. I just don’t like my face…you can [judge](http://www.geocities.com/punk_screen/pic11.jpg) for yourself if you want. My boyfriend says I’m cute, but I’m pretty sure that he’s obligated to do so. ---

9, 9.5 on a good day. I have enviable hair and a butt approaching legendary. 🙂 ---

Not really…maybe a 7 or so. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-consider-yourself-attractive-cute/90034.md?page=5)
