mad rabbits Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think I look okay with a full face of make up and a nice outfit but first thing in the morning? Forget it...nearly broke the mirror this morning! I'm very critical of my features and on top of that am now dealing with the first signs of ageing so yeah, I can feel unnattractive but seriously, there is more important stuff to worry about in life!

Miss Firecracker Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sometimes I feel attractive. I am 50, and one day a little school boy gave me a discount for the people 60 and up. I didn't feel too hot that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon lady Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It depends on the day. The best would be a tiny bit better than average and the worst would be hideously ugly. Lately my opinion of myself has been heading towards ugly because of my weight, skin, teeth and my inability to be able to afford flattering clothes or a nice haircut. Most of these problems are going to require money to fix. A lot of it! Sometimes I will look in the mirror and think I look pretty good and then I'll see a photo of myself and shudder. I'm the least photogenic person in the world. The camera hates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think I will hit Publix on Wednesday again and try my luck. That is officially old hag day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tastytoothpaste Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 ^ ^ I wanna say health....but who am I kidding? It's for looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veneratio Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I wonder how to feel attractive. I have never felt handsome or good looking. This makes it hard to work out or dress nice, because I think why bother? So, do you think you are physically attractive, if so what about you is attractive? Or do you think your personality is the attractive thing, or both? I dress nice and work out, but I don't think I'm all that attractive. I'm pretty sure it's my personality that reels people in believe it or not. My body is attractive when I'm not slacking off, but no one really gets to see that.

FarthestEdge Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 IMO, I've got a perfect face for radio.... I don't look sexy. I look plain and conservative most of the time. You'd never notice me in a crowd (neither good/bad) Attractive? meh, I'm probably a 6 to people with reasonable expectations.. Do I care? Nope. I like WHO I am, and I am plenty sexy with DH, and he appreciates it. I read somewhere that: Between birth & 18, a girl needs her parents Between 18 & 35, a girl needs her looks Between 35 and 55 a girl needs her personality Over 55, she needs cash! Let's just say that's my upside to being over 35. ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocio Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think I'm attractive, yes. Attraction occurs between two objects, right? My husband can't stay away, so I guess I'm attractive to him. I also tend to turn some heads, although surely there are plenty of people who aren't attracted to me. Am I happy with the way I look? Yes, mostly because I have improved the things that can be improved and learned to accept the things I can't. I work out for health reasons, not for looks.

Blue Spiral Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I don't think I am, no, whether it's on the outside or the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophie274 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Some days I feel terrible about the way I look, and others I feel good. But honestly no matter how I feel, myself, about my looks, I always know deep down that objectively I look just fine and that I'm not ugly. I know that my face is perfectly fine/pretty and that my body is perfectly average and not disgusting. Honestly when worrying over how to find someone, I worry a lot more about my personality - that he won't find me interesting or funny or nice. When I think about dating someone, I worry that he won't still like me after he finds out who I really am, about my craziness and stubbornness and how I can REALLY hold a grudge, and be really judgmental, not about whether he thinks I'm attractive or not. I guess I've never had the experience of being rejected based on my looks ... I've always felt that it was more a matter of personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryYogurt Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 what is your moyivation for working out? looks or health? something else? Primarily, for ego and pride and I enjoy the process as well. I'm in good shape and it shows and I like knowing I'm lean while most men my age are tubbies or getting there. Yeah, I know I am vain.

itsallgrand Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yes, I'm attractive. I know I have some good qualities and even though am far from perfect, am coming to accept that the lack of perfection can be part of my appeal. I work out mostly because I like to feel strong. I like the feeling of being fit. And, working out helps me appreciate my body for what it really is and does. Not just what it looks like or how other people see me or my clothes, when working out or being able to lift myself in chin ups - I feel proud of my body and like I can break out of limitations. I can forget about a lot of the outer stuff when focused on a physical challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomgirl59 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 some days I'm happy with my looks, like most of the women already posted, I look better with makeup cuz it brings out certain features and hides others (racoon eyes..ugh) and I think I look like a cute geek girl. most of the time though, no I'm not happy with my looks. Especially after seeing myself in photographs...I swear I dont know why the camera makes me look 10X uglier...I look different in pictures than I do in the mirror.. I scutinize my features a lot, I get upset with my facial features because I dont have that small, mousy face that so many attractive women have, with that upturned nose...I hate my nose. My family constantly tells me I'm beautiful but I ignore it because they're family...friends tell my I'm cute/pretty too (but they know I have low self esteem)...on the rare times I've gotten compliments from guys they say I'm cute...never hot or sexy...I dont and cant harness my sex appeal like lots of women do. I dress nice too, but no ammount of nice clothes can make me happy with my body. Best advice I can give to people who feel bad about their looks is to focus on something else..work, hobbies, etc...keeps your mind off of it. Unless you have money to go under the knife then you're stuck with how you look and have to make the best of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd1983 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think I am fairly attractive. Although I would say that my personality probably brings out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexaemeron Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah, I'm physically attractive, and I'm some weird combination of screwball/goof and confident that seems to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomanWriter Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I struggle with this. When I look in the mirror, I think "I'm cute," but when I look at my mom and sister, I see "hot." Guys will look at me and smile, but then when they see my mom and older sister, they turn away from me. I've always been compared to my sister. She is beautiful and flawless looking. I am too fat (my fault) and would be more attractive if I lost weight (which I am trying to do). Overall, I think I have pretty eyes and a nice smile. Do I think I'm hot? Honestly, no. Do I think I'm ugly? Honestly, no. I think there is something cute about me in a wholesome kind of way, but not what society normally thinks of as a "fine @ss woman."

absinthe Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Most people can be attractive, by living a healthy lifestyle which includes being physically fit, eating right, etc. As long as in the case of women, they wear tasteful makeup and dress to suit their body and age, confident in what they wear, they will be attractive. Men, same thing, albeit no makeup...plse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
