Males: do you consider yourself physically attractive?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, no.

It's my biggest challenge, because unlike women and some men I can't just give up eating. Most diets only last until another shutdown which is caused by eating. Vicious cycle.

Teenage acne or the curse wiped out any confidence I had about dating and I don't think it's being taken seriously enough by NT's and so-called professionals. It's a disease that effects young people as serious as any other medical condition with absolutely no serious treatment or prevention out there but greedy companies happy to make a profit on rubbish medicine that doesn't work.

So, no, I don't consider myself physically attractive.

As for this subjective/relative talk..that's niches and smaller details. I think most people have a general standard to which they find attractive and then focus on individual choices. Among that general standard would be issues like, weight, height, shape, face, smile, appearance/style etc...before narrowing down the selection on attributes or genres they personally find attractive. Of course, there are people who's standard is different and they may find it harder, or easier to find a partner that matches that specific standard.

Not at all.

If I lost weight, I think I would be more attractive than most guys. At least I have one thing going for me...

No, I don't.

Because I never get young women telling me I'm attractive. And I've never had a girlfriend and am nearly 30. I get older ladies (mums and seniors) telling me I'm a handsome young man, but never ones of my generation.

Simply put, if I was attractive, I would have received some interest by now.

no, most call me fat so I don't feel attractive.

I often look at myself and think I'm not the best-looking guy out there, but I'm definitely not the worst. But once you add in the posture, the attitude, the fashion sense, and the body language that I project, I'd say, on a scale of 1-10, I won't break a 4 on my best day.

On a scale of 1-5 I would say a 3 so I think I am fairly good looking.
Most people think I am 26-27yrs old and I am 41 so I must be doing something right!
Constantly being hit on by college girls feels great!

No I think I'm quite ugly.

If I was attractive to the ladies then I already would have a girlfriend by now or at least have sex with a girl.

Also I've never heard a young and attractive lady tell me that I was attractive or handsome. It was only old women who said it to my mom, indirectly.

Also I receive no attention and no signs of interest from attractive ladies whatsoever.

On a scale of 1-10, I'd give myself a 3 or a 4. I'm not nearly as bad as people who have noticeable physical defects, but I look rather hideous otherwise.

Yes. I'm hot stuff.

only a prettyboy would say something that oblivious.

to be on topic, short answer no, long answer hell no

my exact thoughts about myself

Good question. Most women my mothers' age or older tell me I am exceptionally good looking and on top of that I am in good physical shape and am taller than 99.9% of the population. Still, it seems most women my age are downright repulsed by my looks. So bottom line is I don't know anymore. I thought I was about a 7 but recent events make me think 4-5 at best.

Ironically enough I submitted my photo online for people to rate and 100% of women 30 and under (16) give it a thumbs down and 100% over 31 (24) gave it a thumbs up. If I was really that attractive, I would have had at least one serious date in 29 years If it wasn't for the fact I want to maintain privacy I would allow the WP community to give that stereotypical honest AS opinion.

Dude, it's all about the MILFs.

I like to think I'm somewhat attractive

Imo, he's mostly right here. My speculations have lead me to believe that human concepts of beauty are determined primarily by three levels:

Evolutionary: This is where things such as finding deformities and individuals that appear to be sick unattractive, and who knows what other manner of other things, come into play. Basically, at this level, we're talking about things that are biologically wired into us. Those of our ancestors that didn't learn to stay AWAY from those with the debilitating deformities were unfortunately less successful from a biological standpoint.

Cultural: This is where you'll get things such as "fat people are hot/fat people are gross!", which often play into specific cultural context. For example, back in the day, only rich girls could afford to get fat, so they were the hottest things around. All it takes is one look at the paintings of Peter Paul Reuben to know this to be true. Nowadays getting fat is a trivial affair in first world countries, so the appeal has largely vanished. This is also where you get things such as how 100 years ago facial hair was considered very attractive in western society. Now, it's usually taken as a sign of being a bogan!

Personal: This is simple enough. Everyone has individual tastes. Even in a society full of skinny-loving males, you get no absence of men who love them some BBW.

Between the personal and cultural levels, there is plenty of subjectivity. Look at the differences in standards of beauty across the myriad of cultures today. Take that 10/10 from the US and show her to a bunch of African bushmen. They'll give her a 0/10. It's just how it is!



.......now as for the topic at hand? Well, people tend to state that I'm quite decent looking. Maybe a 7/10?
