> [@Excalibre](#): > > BTW, I don’t agree that minor insecurity about your looks makes you undateable. I don’t see what the condemnation is about here. I didn’t notice anyone saying anything about undateable, just _less hot_. For some people, asking the question “Am I hot?”, whether through insecurity or cockiness, is unattractive, and so is a perfectly valid thing to take into consideration when answering the question. Confidence and modesty are both really attractive to many people, and asking that question shows some lack of one or the other, in my opinion, therefore makes the asker somewhat less hot, which is what we were asked, after all. ---

> [@Gadfly](#): > > [Hi there, ladies.](http://akian.free.fr/images/chtulu/cthulhu.jpg)😃 -Moan- …Tentacles… -Moan- There’s no freakin’ way I’d post my photos here. I am a delicate and well-balanced cross between Jabba The Hutt and Yeti. ( Although, I did recently get a haircut… ) As a straight guy who has a decent appreciation for anyone’s looks regardless of gender, I gotta say you look better scruffy. And that’s coming from a guy who’s old enough to be your father. So, ditch the suit and go back to the great outdoors, and make sure you take your cel phone with you because apparently you’ve quite the cadre of fans now !! 😃 ---

Why, Sunspace, you look just like my old camp counselor who was a big Finn from Northern Michigan (where we farm Finns, don’tcha know.) Oh, Gabe - Scruffy pic, hot. Sleek suit guy - handsome. But I wouldn’t be comfortable enough with you in the suit to get wild, and thereby hot myself. See? ---

If I wasn’t all bumpy and bruised (as mentioned [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=293298) I might have took a pic and played. As a sidenote, does anybody else think that US and UK girls look for different qualities when judging guys? 😕 ---

In the end though, it boils down to the same choice, really - git or non-git? ---

This isn’t really a poll. Actually I’m not sure _what_ it is, but offhand I’d guess something more suited to MPSIMS. (That’s a lousy explanation but my eyes are still slightly crossed from Sane One’s pictures. Yowza. Ahem.) TVeblen IMHO mod ---

**Bear\_Nenno** , no, not too fuzzy. **FinnAgain** , IMHO, you bear a passing resemblance to Noah Wyle, especially in the photo with the beard. I love Noah Wyle!
