I think I am a very unattractive man. Whenever i start to kid myself otherwise catching a glimpse of myself in a department store mirror sets me straight again.
Good hair day: 7.32
Bad hair day: 5.16
If the pictures you’ve posted are any indication that’s just not true.
As for me, I’d say about 5.
I think it was Eve who once said something along the lines of: “As if I’d ever let a bad picture out!”
Mere integers do not even begin to describe the perfection of my physical image. Three-dimensional calculus is required. And the last mathematician who tried to calculate it suffered an aneurysm immediately after writing the final equal-sign. I have to wear special prescription sunglasses to keep women from melting like butter when they make eye contact with me.
:eek: Either you’re an awful liar or somebody else stood in for you in your MySpace picture. That girl wasn’t a 1 or a 2.5, let me tell ya.
If you catch me at a random moment I’d rate myself as 8.5 but there are times I see myself in the mirror and I happen to catch the right angle and I can hit 10.
If only I didn’t feel like an out of place giant in a sea of smaller people I might make more of it.
Not lying, the thread is titled “How hot do YOU think you are?”, and I answered honestly. My husband (among others) have pointed out time and time again that I have some self esteem issues to deal with, likely built up from years and years of feeling hideous, fat, and afraid to smile because my teeth are little leaning towers of Pisas scattered casually in different directions, and I was made fun of viciously by guys and girls alike all of my life. I work slowly on each problem area, but it’s a long, slow, and sometimes expensive process (I’ve had braces, but I need more work, and that shit ain’t free!) I’ve gotten to a point where I can take some okay pictures, as long as I get the lighting and angle right, I look okay. I almost look like a normal person. But the mirror and I still don’t get along. Christ, I almost cried today when a co-worker held up a nice new shirt in the store and told me it would look “really cute” on me. What the hell? That’s not what I’m used to.
Anyway, minor hijack aside, I thank you for your kind words, but let’s not hijack the thread any further. I feel how I feel. I have a long way to go.
Somewhere in the 6s… I have a big nose and wonky teeth (well I am English) but the rest of me is in pretty good shape.
However I tend to get hit on by gay men more often than by women, so there’s obviously some kind of vibe problem going on somewhere :smack:
Well, I’m 50 so I get points off for that. But I look 10 years younger, so that’s points on. I need to lose 10 lbs, so that’s points off. But I’m still a size 2, so that’s points on. I have really great, green eyes, so that’s a plus, but my teeth could use a little work, so that’s a minus.
All in all, I’d give myself a 7.5 - 8.3.
Unless scrawny, dorky, clumsy girls are your thing, I’m not hot.
I consider my facial features to be very average - neither particularly attractive nor repulsive. I would probably give myself an extra point or two becasue I am rather tall, have decently broad shoulders, and am relatively fit.
It is an odd question, because as you age, the question of “hotness” recedes ever further into the past. And after being married for 20 years, the only real question is how 1 particular person thinks of your looks, rather than a generic appeal to others. As I compare myself to my chronological peers, I’m probably an 8 or 9, since I still have my hair and am not significantly overweight. But a pretty homely 25 year-old would probably be considered quite hotter than I.
How you doin’?
Seriously, I wish I could make everyone understand that for every flaw you think you have, there are whole bunches of people in the world that find it a turn-on. My particular turn-on is a big nose on a guy and/or buck teeth. Honest to god, cross my heart, I find these things totally hot.
(I’m doin’ jess fine, Sunspace.)
What is that about the English heritage? All my ancestors were English and I have the same thing: big nose, bite pattern like a train wreck. But I’m second-generation Canadian so I didn’t get the accent.
So… how’s the weather in Calgary?
Can anybody say, Lake Wobegon Effect?
2.9. (I usually let people figure out what that means, but because of the nature of this thread, I figure explaining it might be worthwhile. I hate hate hate to little pieces the <3 thing. 2.9 is less than 3. It’s my nerdy version of 2.9.)
I’ll go with a 4 for myself. Yeah, there are people specifically attracted to nonstandard elements of me, but A) they aren’t the norm and B) this is how physically attractive I find myself, not what some random other person might think.
I think all the dentists came to the U.S. on the Mayflower.
Would you all think I’m a prick if I gave myself a 9 - 9.5? I have some flaws I’d change if I could, but I am considered by most people I encounter to be…let’s say easy on the eyes.
Was voted most handsome before, have dated hundreds of beautiful women and used to get hit on a lot so maybe somewhere north of 5. Heh, then I turned 40. Now I’ll say a 4. A pleasant 4 mind you… but nuthin’ more.
I’m a 3.5. I mean, I’m not attractive in any sense of the word but I’m not fantastically hideous, either.
Very unexceptional in the looks department. Plain features + brown hair = forgettable. As weird as this sounds… I don’t think I’d want to be considered “hot” by people. I hate it when someone stares at me and it’d happen all the time if I were gorgeous. I get enough stares as it is, thank you.
