So... How would you rate me in the "looks" departm

Post Reply New Topic

I guess I should give you some background info first. I'm a 20 year old autistic male who has never gone on so much as a date, and due to my history of utter and complete rejection and the saturation of my life with ridicule at the hands of myself, my superiors and my peers, I've always assumed the worst. I'm now beginning to break down these self-limiting prophecies one step at a time, and I'm trying to accomplish this by obtaining a fair and balanced perspective of my actual positive and negative qualities.

I've decided to begin with the issue of my appearance.

The question I want to posit here is; am I good-looking enough to have a flirting chance with an attractive or semi-attractive girl? With the self-image I have right now, I'm essentially avoiding all female contact because I fear the worst in terms of my appearance (and intelligence, but that's another story...). I'm here to ask my fellow aspies for their opinion about how I look, because I know that aspies tend to tell it like it is instead of sugar-sprinkle-cherry-coating the truth. I want a true opinion

Here's a pic of me for reference:

(I know, MySpace angle yadda yadda... It's still an accurate representation of me, I believe)

And yeah, I'm basically copying another one of the threads here.... Sorry about that, but I've been wondering about this for a while now and I've finally worked up the courage to actually ask for an unbiased opinion.

If you want more pictures for a better evaluation, just ask. I've got an fb profile full of these...

So yeah, do your worst

Train yourself in talking fluff with girls. With aspie girls you might have to reconsider the subject however. Observe body language. As for looks I think you should ask a hairdresser to do something. You might want to try contact lenses.

You even copied how the other guy couldn't figure out how to put his photo in the thread.

Being a girl/woman at the age of 23 I hope you can use my opinion...

Objectively I think you look good... Even with as little light as there is on your picture I actually think you look good... You have a kind of boyish charm...

And you are "only" 20 years old... Give it some time and try to build up your confidence... If you are impatient try to fake it... At some point you actually get to be as confident as you portray...

The fact that you are not my type is in a whole different subject... But you look fine in my opinion...

I hope you could use my view...

I could not access the link to the image you posted. If you want to paste your pic into this thread, I would be happy to give you my opinion, honest Aspie style.

You'll have to post a more visible picture of yourself, I.E, larger, not so dark, and with your hand off your face.

You seem to be attractive, however try taking a photo in the light or at least in lighter conditions, it's difficult to see your face when it's so dark. However remember women are less visual than men, if you have a good character and have a sense of fun and humor or an appealing personality, you will be potentially more attractive. Also, try taking photos doing activities you enjoy, that will make you appear a more positive and interesting person.

Here's a webcam photo of me with the light from my window in daylight.



If you could upload similar brighter and more visible picture and upload it to image shack so we could see, perhaps people could make a better judgement.

I agree, even if I'm a boy interested in girls



Time doesn't solve anything unless one use it for something. Practice fluff talk, go to theater societies etc.



Looks nice, lets just be friends ?

Bill Gates?

Mr. Brawny man there!

Haha, I guess I have the 70's facial hair thing going on but Mr.Brawny man wears a lumberjack plaid shirt, I'm wearing a plaid shirt in these photos.

Not the best picture. Makes it kind of hard to tell. But from what I can tell I think you look cute. And I'm not just saying that. I wouldn't have posted if that weren't my opinion.

Someone in this thread is trying to belittle the OP with his physique. He can make his own thread.

Not nice.

New members can't post links.

I prefer it that if you're going to make a statement against me, make it directly towards me instead of beating around it in third person. I even stated the OP seems to be attractive, I have no reason to use the insecurities of someone against them or belittle them, I don't even know the OP but since you know my intentions and motivation so well, feel free to think that.

I was simply making a joke regarding the Brawny Bog roll adverts.

Oh, so it's you!
