Are you confident about your physical appearance?

Post Reply New Topic

In many cases, the outside is a reflection of the inside (do you care about your appearance?). However, I think in the majority of cases, the inside is a reflection of the outside.

my beard makes me loved and feared

Not really, I am not unconfident with it either....I guess i just don't really care either way. Chances are if I say I don't want to go somewhere because my hair needs washed or because I don't have clean cloths that match or anything like that I am probably just making excuses as I don't actually care......most people don't catch on to that though.

Not at all, but I like taking care of myself.

I think you remember my opinion of that

Not at all! I am very critical of the way I present myself. Very obsessive about everything regarding my appearance.

Fair point! What matters is the personality of the person, not their appearance. Is that better?

Yes, I am

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I don't think it's really "politically correct." It's just a figure of speech. By "it's only the inside that matters", people usually mean a person's personality and morals, and mind and stuff like that, not people's muscles, blood vessels, and viscera and such.

But to answer the question addressed in the thread topic, I'd say I feel I could look worse. I'm not exactly great-looking, and there's some things that I dislike about my appearance, but I feel I have much bigger stumbling blocks to starting relationships than my looks.

Body, yes. I've worked hard for this body and I should be confident in it and proud of it. Face, no. I have a huge-ass nose and a perpetual 5 o'clock shadow that seems to come in about 20 minutes after I'm done shaving haha... tried growing a beard but it looks stupid. Also, I just generally have a funny-looking face. Do I care, from a dating standpoint? Not really. Observation and limited experience tells me that looks aren't usually as important to most girls as they are to us guys... personality seems to be way more important.

Yes, but not always.

And it's not enough to be positive.

I'm not confident about my physical appearance as the feedback I get from people can often be negative. I have had partners though and some of them have been very good looking so in my opinion I can't be that bad. I've been loved and people sometimes miss me when I'm no longer with them so I see myself as having desirable attributes whether physical or personality-based.

I get positive feedback on m physical appearance only online, in real life it's very rare.

I am not sure whether I look uglier in real life or women simply don't flirt men's physiques face to face.

The thing is, you can only say someone's good looking so many times before it gets boring and you have to move onto other topics.

I will think the person I see is nice looking but I don't express it all the time as I think it denotes shallowness and also I don't want to give him an even bigger head than he's already got!

For example, in relation to the thread on whether women like men who aren't masculine looking, I asked this person if he thought he looked masculine and he replied 'yes and I'm gorgeous' Lol

i'm not really sure, because i can't gauge how confident other people really are. there is just too much contradiction in the way people in general come across.

some people say they are not confident or that they don't consider themselves good looking, but in social situations they behave as though they are quite certain of their attractiveness. other people say they are confident in their attractiveness yet they behave in a rather insecure or judgemental manner, like putting down other people's appearance.

so really i don't know if i am confident compared to other people. i would say that i don't think there is anything wrong with the way i look, but i don't look like a famous person either. i look like me, and that's that.

No, not really. It's pretty surprising that practically everyone in this thread is saying they don't or they're unsure about how they feel.
