Males: do you consider yourself physically attractive?

Post Reply New Topic

My grandfather was 5'1" and the man I respected more than any other. I never considered him short and it never seemed to bother him. He was respected by everyone who knew him.

I am 5'7" and quite happy with my height. Mostly I do not even notice how tall other people are unless they are so tall or so short I have to put my head on a steep angle to talk to them,. I once dated a woman over 6" tall and it made no difference to me or her. She was the one who initiated our relationship. Most woman who are taller than me probably want a taller man, fine, no problem. There are plenty of woman under 5'7". My wife is 5'6".

me hawt too at least based on chicks watching me in the gym
unfortunately they seem to know that I am from another planet

what i also hate about being male, being a guy, is that we never get to find out if we are physically attractive or not, we don't get compliments by the oppossite sex, so its kinda impossible for me to know if i need to work on my looks too

I dunno, I've gotten complimented by them. Hell, it's probably easier to get compliments as a guy, as women are almost never judged as "creepers" by guys for giving compliments to them.

No reason not to work on your looks, though. Weightlifting really helps you out, I personally didn't go the bodybuilding route, though. Just trained for a sport and wanted to get stronger. Even if it doesn't help your looks, being able to pick 300lbs up off the ground will probably help your confidence a little. Plus, it gets you out of the house and makes you seem like less of a loser to people.

Even if you don't exercise, at least keep your diet good and learn to cook stuff from scratch.

I use to be good looking to the point that it was annoying. Nowadays at 25 I'm overweight, and dress like a hobo. But there was a time I was told by like totally random people that I was hot. It was actually super annoying, because I had much less social confidence at the time, and couldn't stand the fact girls thought I was attractive yet wouldn't sleep with me.

I'm toying with the idea of becoming a male model once I get to 10% bodyfat. Or maybe before. 17 now, which is pretty "blah" but not like horrible looking in real life. f**k it, gotta use your strengths, right? A few people have told me "Hey, you ever think of being a model" or "You should be in movies!" and stuff. It's weird.

I am one of the ugliest people that I know. I am a 30 year old loser guy who has never had a date in my sad pathetic life. I can not even get a date online.

I've turned 40 and never had a girlfriend. Had one one night stand thats it. Have been led on by a few women I found attractive online, though I knew they were just using me to boost their ego and had no intention of dating me. No woman has ever initiated or flirted with me offline, or shown any enthusiasm to get to know me. I've also been rejected by women I had no interest in and never hit on or even spoken to, but they felt the need to let me know my place for some reason. Maybe as a pre-rejection to say "don't even bother. Your not up to standards".

Online I only get maybe 3 to 4 obese women per year dangle me a carrot, and that was when I was fit / leaner in my 20's to early 30's. Thats women from my own race and I'm not attracted to obesity. For Asians I do slightly better and get a healthy weight plain Asian woman dangle me a carrot, but it's once in a blue moon, like less than once per year if that.

Now i've lost hair and lost my boyish looks (eye area, skin) I get nothing. I'm also 19% bodyfat - not fat but not ideal. I used to think looking like a kid/adolescent (babyface/unmanly, too thin and effeminate looking) as a grown ass man was the reason I was doing badly, but now I look a little more 'robust' and mature It has gotten worse.

I would consider myself a 3/10. I'm not ugly enough that I stop traffic, I'm not a freak show like Joseph Merrick, though some folks in my life have told me I look like a ugly piece of s**t, freak or weirdo.

To some asian women I may appear a 5/10. Maybe they're my only chance of salvation though I'll have to move to asia and I simply can't do that. I have tried talking to Asian women born and raised in u.k but they are highly westernized and seem just as stand-off ish as white women born and raised in the uk, so i do believe that what women find desirable-looking in men is partially culturally driven.

Yes

At the moment, no. I don't feel too hot. Definitely not at my best. Part of that is just me, though. I rarely feel good about myself or the way I look.
But I have been told I'm really good looking, by quite a lot of people. Occasionally I do feel attractive. Normally do a lot of martial arts, so I'm usually in pretty good shape.
A lot of it has to do with my difficulty interacting. If I'm so hot, why can't I meet a woman?
I didn't know I was an aspie until recently, so now I at least have a better understanding of why.

Yeah, I feel like I am physically attractive.

for my age, average.

I think if I get down from my current 19 - 20% (174lbs) bodyfat to 14-15% (165lbs) I'll look better and should feel better about myself.

I don't have a strong jawline or chin so the excess fat that accumulates on our faces looks worse on me than say a strong-jawed fella like Burt Lancaster or Pat Tillman.

Depending on where you live and your age, 20% body fat is probably above average nowadays...

Then again I guess 20% isn't good enough these days.

Especially in Australia a lot of middle aged men and women are overweight or obese and usually at least 25% or more.

If you were 20 years younger then sure but you're 40 mate.

But good luck.

compared to the fattest nation on earth [USA], down under people are positively svelte.

For my age group (40-44) and country 24% bodyfat and 190lbs is considered average. 30% is obese.

My lean mass is 139lbs > 140lbs. I want to increase that to 145lbs by march.

19-20% is not ideal. To be considered in the 'fit' category you need to be 15%.
