Depends on the man and, of course, depends on the woman. I think the two best looking men on TV right now are both of “Asian” descent–one Indian, the other Korean.
im hella hot … for 42 …i got it goin ON …and i KNOW this … 
I dont think Im hot. Ugly in fact. I rarely look in the mirror and have no interest in fashion or grooming (beyond basic hygene) Women seem to find me attractive, however…my wife who is drop dead gorgeous is crazy about me. At times its been a bit of a problem for me actually. Go figure. My wife said to mention I have really nice eyes. Mabey thats it. I have fiberglass resin under my fingers and all my shirts have grease stains.
my best friend who is Asian is married to a red head southern belle who is crazy about Asian men.
You need more self confidence. I’m white & I’m crazy about Asian men. However I think that stereotypes are partially at fault here–it’s easy to perceive Asians as “shy”, so, if you aren’t outgoing or dress well, you might be perceived as unapproachably shy.
It seems that around here, the average IS Ally McBeal. Snappy Nordstrom’s outfits. Young 20s. 6-figure incomes. Supermodel looks & body. If that’s a 5-6, put me down as a 2 or 3. IOW, anywhere between the world’s ugliest woman and the most gorgeous supermodels.
:eek: Ally McBeal is attractive?
Clearly, I’ve been smoking too little pot.
Not for everyone.
1.5. There are less-attractive people in the world. But not many.
I think I’m extremely attractive. When I posted my picture on hotornot, I got a 9.8. (And this was when I was a freshman in high school.) I have only gotten better since then. I have very thick dark hair, always a plus, dark intense eyes and very symmetrical features. My nose is just big enough to be masculine and is a strong feature of my face - it looks prominent and strong in my side profile but does not stand out on a front view of my face (very similar to Tom Cruise.) I’m not in as good shape as I used to be but it doesn’t matter because I’m blessed with an excellent natural physique (meaning, I can look good without working out.) My only weakness is that I wear glasses - but I wear stylish Armani frames that don’t look dorky at all. In fact many people think that they enhance my face.
Sorry if this sounds cocky. I’m just trying to represent how I view myself. The confidence in my appearance has helped me in life. In a lot of ways my dad is more handsome than me and it’s sort of humbling to have a father who is 49 and has movie star looks. Hopefully it’s a preview of how I might look.
But I have not introduced a single female friend to my father who has not later told me that she thought he was “hot.”
(I’m 20, by the way.)
I’d give my physical self a 6.5, somewhere around there. If I were to actually start exercising like I tell myself to, that might be bumped up a whole point.
My wit and charm gets me up to a 7.9 though.
Here’s one of me an my niece. On a good day I would call me a 6.7
Look, we’re talking about statistics here. Sure, there are people like you who are crazy about Asian men. However, if you go to any number of singles sites, you’ll find that the number of people who express a preference for Asian men are in the vast minority.
Self-confidence does count for something; make no mistake. Like it or not, it doesn’t change the preferences of the overall populace. One person’s self-confidence would certainly improve his odds, but it’s not going to produce a wide-scale change in people’s preferences, and so ultrafilter’s comment still stands.
I think she’s attractive, although she could certainly stand improvement. She’s certainly too thin, as people often point out.
I’m baffled by this comment.
Are you implying that being high makes you find otherwise unattractive women to be attractive? The way a lot of people talk about alcohol? If so, this is the first time I have ever heard someone claim to be affected this way by marijuana.
Sounds like a little joke to me, Argent Towers. At least, that’s how I would have framed it.
I think just about everyone could use a little more self-confidence. As long as it doesn’t cross the border into over-confidence, that’s pretty damn hot. And in fact, some people can work the over-confidence as well.

Even jokes reveal a great deal about how someone thinks, as well as shed light on social beliefs. The most meaningless-seeming statement can be loaded with all kinds of concepts and ideas.
The scale we’re using here has 0 as pretty much dead - people calling themselves zeroes are either lying or think they are less attractive than a corpse. If (generic) you think you are less attractive than a corpse, I will go out on a limb and say, yes, you do indeed have self-esteem issues.
I still think most people are attractive in some ways. I’ve met very few people in my life who were repulsive on every level, and even most of them could have cleaned up better if they had showered and brushed their teeth once in a while.
I reckon I’m as hot as Sarah Jessica Parker appears to be…or thereabouts.
Actually, no. It just seemed like the best way to snarkily say what I wanted to say and be understood. “Crack” seemed a little harsh, and also seemed like it could be offensive re Flockhart’s weight (cocaine and its derivatives being famous “actress thinners”).
I guess so. For me, being unhealthily thin is enough to cancel out everything else, no matter how good everything else is.
Hey, chill out and rip a bongload, alright?
I’m generally not one to harp on stereotypes about drugs, as I’ve done a lot of them, have a pretty good idea how most recreational chemicals work and I’m rabidly pro-legalization. But sometimes a joke is just a joke, Sigmund.
Some people like corpses, you know. :eek:
<off-topic>Hey, cool. I’m a wuss about most things myself, having only partaken of alcohol and cigarettes ever in my life, and also being probably the one person actually scared off by anti-drug ads. But it would be good to hear some stuff about drugs that isn’t either a horror story or an open inducement, one of these days.</ot>
