Hot, or not? Honestly rate your looks

I’m not sure but it’s anywhere from a 3 to a 7. I get slightly below the average amount of getting hitting on/asked out than I would expect, but it actually decreases once they get to know me. So what little interest in girls I get has to come from my looks rather than my personality. Which isn’t to say I don’t have a good personality, it’s just not sexy.

Pssht, being petite is for the birds. I’m 5’8", curvy, have bigger hands than most dudes (hmm, I should try palming a basketball), and have some pretty decent muscle tone, so nobody is ever going to classify me as petite or adorable, and I like it that way.

How is having a flat tummy freaky?

Your picture in the Gallery is very attractive.

Flattery. Thank you! But I was just saying I’m not “petite” by any definition I’ve heard of, and don’t have the height or build to be one of those tiny, adorable women, which is more than fine by me. Anyway, you’ve reminded me that I really need to update that photo. It’s old and I barely even recognize myself when I look at it.

I’m pretty. I often get approached in grocery stores, stop lights, etc. Now that I’m older, I’m more the MILF type. I have a smokin’ bod for my age. At work, I am pencil skirts and button downs conservative, but really I am a tatted up freak. It can be fun to be noticed for what I look like, but it’s all superficial. I dont take any of it seriously. What I find attractive has little to do with a certain physical type and more to do with an indescribable energy. I have been swept off my feet by people, and friends will say they just don’t get it. Sounds stupidly cliche, but “hot” cannot be attributed to a specific set of physical attributes. Not for me, anyway.

I think it’s interesting that what a lot of people here are saying is being fat equates to being ugly. Wonder what NAAFA and other people of the like would have to say about that.

I gave myself a 7, I think that I rated an 8 when I was a bit younger.
And FWIW, I’m in agreement with everyone on Jragon. You should get some counseling, you seem to have some some ‘issues’.

Dude, you’re not that bad lookin’ of a guy, IMHO. :slight_smile:

I should never have started looking at the pictures in that gallery. I have my own mental images of what some people here look like, and none of them match at all. Now I’m all confused.

I was picturing **MeanOldLady **a lot more like this.

Male here. I consider myself better than average-looking, and still get approached, so I’ll give myself an 8. I’m obsessive about my appearance, skin, hair, and teeth, and have enough products to rival most women’s bathroom counters. I have a daily exercise regimen which, although a killer, allows me to maintain the muscle tone I had naturally when I was much younger.

I’m in my 50s now, have always looked younger than my age and, after my hair transplants, which you can read about here, can easily pass for someone in his early 40s. I do quite a bit of public speaking for pitches and client programs so it is critical for my business that I look my best. I also have the multiracial thing going which, in my case, helps, IMO.

I’ll think about exhibiting some false modesty after I’m dead.

LOL - funny! I think she’s pretty, nice smile, nice eyes. (MeanOldLady of course, not that picture)

If your hubby thinks that, then you are! Because who else counts, right?
Me, I’m a little better than average, so 6.

Her boyfriend? :wink:

If I were to judge Jragon by the photo in this thread, I would think he’s a clever guy (geek but in a good way), popular, a hit with the ladies… What’s wrong with his skin?

ETA: I rate myself a 7.

It isn’t, that’s why I said “I find”. I just don’t think it’s attractive and I don’t want to look like that. I would be freaky if I had a six pack. Some people look natural with a six pack, but I wouldn’t. I think I would probably look as if I spent too much time being miserable at the gym and far too little time eating cake. :smiley:

I’d rate myself a 7, on the basis of being slender and well-built but having a bit of an odd face. My odd face is in the gallery.

What is this gallery of which some of you speak?

That’d be this one.

I’d say I’m a solid 5, though I wouldn’t be surprised to be rated anywhere from 4 to 6 by the general public.

Cheers for that, I sent a photo of me to the gallery. Let’s see what happens to my #7 ranking :smiley:

I was extremely awkward- and goofy-looking in my teens. But in my 30s, I was told by more than one person that I looked like Harrison Ford. (A young Ford, not like he looks now.) I could sort of see it, but the resemblance went away. Now I think I’m just your average-looking middle-aged guy.

This propensity to look like a celebrity in certain age periods may be inherited. I swear toward the end of his life, my father was looking like Jack Lemmon in the latter’s later years.

According to this article in The Guardian, most of you are actually probably uglier than you think.:smiley:

Seriously though, I’m having trouble with the actual rating system. I get that 10 = Brad Pitt and 1 = Quasimodo, but what does a 5 look like? Is 5 like “normal looking attractive-ish guy” or is 5 like “guy who blends into the crowd who you would never notice”?

So basically, this is you?:smiley:

I was pretty universally considered to be a “10” from ages 12-28. But now I’m vastly overweight (200+) and usually exhausted, so where I fit on the scale depends upon how much the individual counts off for excess weight. The funny thing is, I feel more attractive now than I did then.

So take heart, JRagon, you’re not the only one who sees him/herself strangely. LOL!
