What others think of your appearance does not matter.
What you think of yourself is what matters.

You're very brave to put your picture in this sub forum. I've posted a picture in Random one time and the WP bully of the year gave me a hard time about it. I had to ask for the picture to be removed.

I think you look great, by the way. 8)

I can't decide on a number, but I really don't think your appearance will give you any problems. Hope that helps answer your question.

I'm not to good at this sort of thing. I just see a normal looking face.

I'd like to believe that this is true, but sadly enough, seeing yourself as more attractive compared to how others generally see you, only works in your own disadvantage.

High self-confidence gets linked to arrogance, when the other person doesn't see the "positive" traits in you that you are so confident about, you get seen as a try-hard and untrustworthy.

If you have to ask . . .

Seriously though, this is not healthy. Your self-esteem should not be dependent on your appearance or what other people think of your appearance. This forum is exceptionally gentle, most fora are not. Do you really rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? Do you see how dehumanising such an attitude is? You are more than your appearance. Do you rate other people on a scale of 1 to 10?

you look fine --- okay if you insist on a number - 7 - You're not Brad Pitt after all - but there is nothing wrong with your looks - kind of cute, I would say

Partially true. However, even in cases where you can back up your claim (example: "I'm pretty intelligent" *has good grades*) people will just be jealous and call you arrogant as well. I also want to add that you're only seen as a "try-hard" or "untrustworthy" when the confidence in yourself isn't genuine. When the confidence itself is made to impress others.

There are so many people, with so many different opinions. Does it matter to have the majority of people think good of you ? Is the goal that everyone think good of you ? There will always be someone who finds you ugly, and someone who thinks you're the most beautiful person in the world. In the end, who you want to believe is up to you.

OP, drop the use of a scale. Beauty isn't something you can rate and it depends from person to person. Also what is it supposed to rate exactly ? Trustworthiness ? Attractiveness ? Professionalism ? How happy you look ? How normal ? As corroonb said, it's dehumanizing.

It's very important that your self worth comes from yourself. I cannot stress enough how downright dangerous it is to rely on what other people think of you to evaluate your own self worth! It leaves you vulnerable to abusers.

Sure, overconfidence tends to backfire, and it's valid to warn about that, but is it going to happen in this case?

Fascinating. It's usually women who worry the most about their looks. I don't mean to appear superior though. In my youth I was very scared that girls might think I was too ugly to date, and I completely overlooked my behaviour. It was a bad mistake.

As others have mentioned, it is more about how you feel about yourself. But, since you asked, your appearance shows to me that you care about yourself and how you present yourself to others. To that end, you are attractive and pleasant. I bet you are humorous, too.

Screw that bully! I've seen a picture you posted of yourself on here and I think you are very nice looking.

I've put some of myself on here before too, but removed them. I want to post that new one of me my daughter took the other day when I was in full retro regalia, but I don't have a Flickr account anymore.

I'm going to honest with you.

You're not that bad looking of a guy at least facial wise. You dress up nicely and you're not rough looking. I would give you a 6. 6 is in the upper average range and that means you're handsome in a normal way.

Now we can't see your body and so we can't tell you if you're physically attractive or not. From what iv'e learned is that the ideal body type for men that women like is tall (between 5 ft 10 and 6 ft 3 is ideal) and slim but not too skinny and not too fat and a decent looking face.

We can't see your body so I can only rate your face which I give you a 6. That's handsome in a normal way.
