I’d say about a 7 when I’m trying to look good. My self opinion has risen a lot in the last 10 years or so, I used to think myself about a 3.
Oh my god, the few of you I have met IRL have all underestimated yourselves hugely.
Dopers are fine!
I’d have to give me an 8 or so, depending on what you are looking for. I’m about 5’10"…slim…pretty good hair and fairly well-built. I have interesting eyes, talented hands and I always call back. What else could you look for?

I’d have to say that I am [sym]p[/sym].
What kind of pie is sort of in the eye of the beholder.

Mr. Right Now… Not that I could do anything, I think I’ve caught a cold. Oh this has been such a bad week…

My mother assures me I’m the bee’s knees and a 10. And what son in his right mind would argue with his mother on that point?
My best features? height 6’5" and eyes, pale green. When I was a kid people would talk about how pretty my eyes were and then I’d bat them at them.
Normally I’d say I’m a 7.5 or 7.75 but this weekend when I was all dressed up in a suit for my best friends wedding I was easily a 9.5. I look a lot better now that I cut my hair and change the way I dress.
- What can I say? I’m fiiine. I do most assuredly have it going on.
I become even more attractive if I perform a little dance. My little dances are well-known. I can also wiggle my ears, and although I cannot technically break wind at will, I’ve usually got one lying around for humourous explosion at any given time. Furthermore, dogs, wasps, houseflies and the late Rex Harrison are all known to hang aroung me at a discreet distance. Pheromones, y’see.
The picture linked to above was intended to just be a picture of me for the anthology “Man and Superman”. The female object hanging off my shoulder just couldn’t help herself, and leapt several yards from a nearby piano stool in an attempt to get into a tabloid newspaper as my latest “special friend”. Of course I considered that to be nothing but brute insolence, and married her out of spite.
you know, you are only as cute as you feel. there is a lot to be said about aura/attitude/posture/eye contact of a person walking into a room. i would rate myself 8.333333, usually get noticed when i walk in a room, did model a bit when i was younger, but i’m definitely weird looking. i like the weird though. and so does my SO. i suppose that’s all that really matters.
I’m 52 and I’ve noticed that I’m no longer even on the radar. Women look right past me. I think when you’re younger you don’t realize how much you’re being evaluated even when the evaluation is negative.
A better link with less lifestory and more Ross.

My book is not expensive.
Thank you, tevya, that’s very sweet of you.
A tough question. She Who Must Be Picked Up At The Airport Soon seems to think I’m worth looking at.
All I can say is that I took what I was issued and made it into an expression of what’s behind the mask - an arrogant bastard, by most accounts. I’m 5’9", in shape, going bald and proud of it (FU very much), with a Van Dyke and sneering mustachios. I’m not a pin-up but I become much more attractive if I let you get to know me. Other than that I present an outward appearance normally asribed to certain fallen angels. Deal with it.
Well, people don’t run away screaming, nor do they take photos and beg for my autograph. My wardrobe is decidedly 3, so that kinda drags down any natural cutey-tude I possess. When properly clad, coiffed, and cheery, I can pass for an 8, wrinkles and pudgies notwithstanding. But, as should be obvious by aforementioned wardrobe, my appearance isn’t a big deal in my life.
Love me for my wit and charm, or not at all.
[sub]hmmm… That could explain my social life…
I’ve looked in this before, and I have to rate you much higher than a 3.8. IMHO, you’re up around 8-8.25. And I mean that sincerely. You are damn near gorgeous.
I gotta say I’m happy with the way I look. I’d like to lose another 10 pounds, but having grown up as a chunky kid with self-image issues, I’m thankful for the way I look (and feel) now.
Solid 8.5 working on a 9.
When they see me, women don’t (usually) swoon, and babies don’t cry. I guess that puts me at about average, in a stretch, maybe a 6. I scrub up pretty well, but can always count on a, “you look like a Mafia hitman”, comment when I wear a suit.
I’m 44, and I’m entering that stage where women look past me. Part of it may be that I just got married a couple of years ago, and my own radar is in disrepair. But it’s a little weird to realize that women used to notice me, and these days they generally don’t. Leads me to conclude that I used to be attractive. Didn’t really know it then, and now that I do, it’s about gone! A cliche, but it’s pretty accurate.
By the way, I do not equate aging with loss of attractiveness. Heck, even when I was a teenager, I always thought the most attractive women were at least in their 30s. I still think the real knockouts of the world don’t usually peak until the mid to late 40s, and some much later. What attracts me most is usually bone structure, eyes, and body types, and these things don’t change as fast as taut young skin and thick hair.
On the other hand, it’s hard to look bad when you’re young, because taut young skin and thick hair are nice distractions. So pretty much anybody looks pretty good when they’re young, but the average person sort of loses it with age. Real beauties keep it for a long time. Lots of people look great at my age, and I’m still not bad for my age, but I’m not aging as well as I had planned.
