On your best day what would you rate your looks? Mainly talking about the face here, between a 1 and a 10. I would give myself an 8. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Face: 8 Body: 3 My main problem is I yo-yo seriously on the body department, and right now Iā€™m at least 35 pounds overweight. I compensate on the face part by keeping a well-groomed beard. ---

Face - 7 Body - 5.5 I really have to lose 10 pounds,. I have a little tummy that has been impossible to get rid of, despite exercise and dieting. Next stop: Dr. Liposuck. ---

Iā€™m going to give myself a 7.5 overall. I could stand to lose like 5-10 lbs, but really, 5-10 lbs isnā€™t a huge deal. My mother always says how my skin is like porcelain, and has a glow to it. Should I link to a picture so you all can judge for yourselves? ---

Face = 8 Body = 3 I guess I have a good looking face and nice hair but I am seriously in need of some exercise. ---

Face = 7. Nothingā€™s too big or too small and I have lips people spend thousands for. Body=5. Iā€™m fat, but Iā€™m in proportion and everything works. By the time I get to my goal weight Iā€™ll be so hot that your screen will catch on fire just looking at my user name šŸ˜› ---

Ha haā€¦ it seems that most of us here are overweight (whether a little or a lot), and we all think we look pretty good. šŸ˜› Me included, of course. Face: 8 Body: 6 Yep, Iā€™m pretty tall, and I used to be scrawny, but Iā€™ve recently acquired a pot belly. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Face = 5 . Average, but with nice lips. Body = 8 . Boobs, hips, butt (not too big and not too flat). But It wouldnā€™t hurt to be a little more toned up all over. ---

Face = 9 (I really like my facial features and I have pretty nice skin) Body = 4.5 (I have great boobs and a well defined waist, but I need to lose about 40lbs to look really great) ---

I used to be stunning. Apparantly I outgrew that. Odd thing is, for a guy, I feel my looks fluctuate a lot. I think I average out high 6s, low 7s. Hard to tell, you know? Iā€™d do me. ---

Average. A 6 in the face, body is heavy- but with big shoulders, and nice muscular legs- maybe a 5 or a 6. OTOH, I am told I am ā€œcharmingā€. šŸ˜• :dubious: ---

Face 6. I have a big nose and one of those wide Polish faces. I think I look an 8 or 9 in the mirror, but whenever I see a picture of myself I quickly revise myself down alot. Just not used to seeing myself reversed, and I guess it gives a good first impression reaction. I got a 9.1 on hotornot FWIW, but they have a weird scoring system. Most votes were for a 6-8. Body 9. I regularly excercise. I have a visible 6-pack and reasonably defined muscles. I have around 8% bodyfat. About 72.5 inches and 175 pounds. ---

Dance 10, Looks 3. I used to be really cute, but then I got old, now I look like a fairly fit (albeit large breasted/baby got back) sharpei. I really hate mean old mister gravity. ---

Face - 4. I look funny and my nose is from Hades. Nice eyes, tho. Too bad theyā€™re the only nice thing. Body - 2. Being naked when someone else is in the room could get me indicted for Crimes Against Humanity. ---

I think Iā€™ll take it on for myself. šŸ™‚ Except that my face is a 5 or 6. Okay, maybe a 6. My lips are also occasionally complimented. Ditto for my body. Itā€™s a 5. Iā€™m too fat but everything is ā€œbalancedā€ and I have all my body parts. (My sister has an amputated leg and she reminds me that at least I have _two_ legs so I shouldnā€™t complain. So I wonā€™t.) ---

Face: 5 ā€“ I donā€™t think Iā€™m ugly but Iā€™m not attractive either. If I were to lose some weight and get my complexion under control, I think Iā€™d be halfway attractive though. Body: 1 ā€“ I donā€™t like anything about my body. ---

Face: Eh, 5 I am sometimes considered cute but I think itā€™s mostly because I have red hair. Body: 7 or 8 Iā€™m in good shape and I work out but I tend to carry weight in my hips and thighs. I have Hillary Clinton legs and always will no matter how much I work outā€¦ ---

I donā€™t think Iā€™m anything special, but the Ms. finds me devastating, which is what counts. Best feature is glacier-blue eyes and most all of my hair, albeit gray. Body: well, what can I say? Nothing losing 30 pounds wouldnā€™t help improve, but Iā€™m ten pounds on the way to that goal. Overall self-rating: A solid seven.
