[Closed] Do you think you’re attractive? (Serious thread)

I've been told I look like a number 2.....

Shrek is my handsome brother.

B&M shop front windows

In the context of B&M, a 6.5 is a pretty poor score. Try again with a posher shop 😀

I looked at my reflection in Harvey Nicks window the other day, and I'm a solid 3.5.

you wouldn’t be ashamed to introduce me to your friends.

Looks aren't everything...

no. my wife used to. but i doubt that too nowadays.

Uglier than a hatful of monkey's bums, frankly.

13 stone of badly wrapped mince with a face like a blind welder's bench.

Recent survey showed women rated 80% of men as below average.

That makes you a 4 at best in reality.

I'd be a 3..

No but luckily I don't have to look at me.

I’ve never been a “wow” but reckon I scrub up ok.

I’ve a few mates who have women trailing them like the pied piper - very disheartening 🙁

When I was a kid, my mum had to tie a lamb chop to my head so the dog would play with me.

A lack of matches on Tinder screams loudly that I'm not a looker.

seriously?

no. I'm pretty skinny and pale, I have mousey hair which I dye too often so it's damaged, too many peircings (most not used, so I have holes) and bad skin, and I've decided I don't like the colour of my teeth.

Until they saw the size of their wallets?

I am a solid 6.5.

Mmm willy waving thread ....

Looks aren't everything...

Oh. I wouldn’t speak.

i'd **** me

No, not really. I don't make much of an effort nowadays either. I used to, and sometimes Mrs Yak reminds me about the 6pack and skinny shirts I had when we met years ago. Alas those are long gone. Well there's a 6pack in the kitchen...

Edit - that's not to say i'm not happy in myself though. The older me is just fine. Well nearly fine if it wasn't for all the injuries that come with age.

Interesting thread...
I think i’m Pretty attractive in face and body - myself and the wife were chatting and we BOTH reckon we’ve become more attractive over the past 10 years - I’m more ‘toned’ with a manlier face.
I can’t deny that..if I shave my beard off NOW (aged 34 3/4) i look like a child. 10 years ago (with no beard) must have been weird...!!!

Insight into our own views eh!

DrP

i'd **** me

You could do with some lotion...

Nowadays I look like a collection of burst footballs

As long as I keep myself in shape I seem to fall into the ugly handsome category. Being tall helps, really helps, a lot.

Distinctly average in the looks department, I reckon.

And short.

Surely this thread needs pics... 😆

Laughs at man in 30s (DrP) wondering if he's attractive! Wait til the jawline starts going south... 🙁 I reckon I was pretty gorge in my 30s. Now look like a month old souffle with piles (©Vic Reeves)

no. I'm pretty skinny and pale, I have mousey hair which I dye too often so it's damaged, too many peircings (most not used, so I have holes) and bad skin, and I've decided I don't like the colour of my teeth.

How you doin’? 8)

I'm alright from the shoulders down 😀

I look like Casper the Friendly Ghost crossed with Robocop without the helmet and Moby, but with a beard.

Typing no would’ve been quicker

[waves at Jamie]

hello lovely, slacking off at work, no motivation today.

I am a solid 6.5.

Mmm willy waving thread ....

6.5 may be longer than average but I wouldn't go waving it around.

I used to be a fox, although sadly did not realise it at the time.

Now ,I could do with some work.

I've got the triple - tall, dark, handsome. Unfortunately it’s my personality that lets me down.

If you saw me you'd want to give me 1

Just back from Greggs where I'm a solid 9.

Out of 10 ? I'lld give myself what 4

I have short legs and arms and a huge head. It’s a miracle anyone ever wanted to marry me.

I do have a thick head of hair which puts me ahead of a lot of other guys though “provocatively runs hand through hair while smirking at baldies” 😆

B&M - are you sure it was your reflection as I’ve seen some of the people who shop there, sells a lot of banjo strings.

In my head I still look like I did when I was 25. I saw a reflection of myself the other day 🙁

I don't know whether I [i]am[/i] attractive, but I know I've been a lot happier since I took a conscious decision in my late 20s to [i]believe[/i] that I am.

🙂

Oh lord no, I don't come from a long line of 'lookers' but a bust nose, jaw and cheek didn't help.

I've got a stigmatisum in one eye so unless I'm wearing my glasses (which I rarely do) one eye looks bigger than the other because I'm slightly squinting with it - think Clint Eastwood in a old western, but only one eye.

I've got a scar on my cheek, upper lip, down the side of my nose and between my eyes.

But, fuggit, I managed to pull at least one decent women and married her so I'm set ha ha.

Think? I know I am and being almost bald even more so.

Self praise is no praise. This thread needs pictures

I'm short, according to %90 of the female population, apparently that makes me a no, stopped caring a long time ago 🙂

Recent survey showed women rated 80% of men as below average.

If that's not a made up statistic, it shows that people don't understand the term "average" (well, I suppose the mean may be skewed by a few good lookin outliers).

Me? Dunno, I reckon I look OK but I'm basically a yeti, so it would depend on your opinion of hair.

Don't care!

Maybe I should care a little. I used to in my late teens and early twenties. But nowadays (early fourties) I genuinely do not care how I look. I think it started when I had kids. Fashion and trying to look good seem to go out the window then.

I used to, I suspect that the additional 20lb's and what feels like total exhaustion most of the time is somewhat detracting!

Me? God no, even more so after my RTA almost four years ago!

I don't know whether I am attractive, but I know I've been a lot happier since I took a conscious decision in my late 20s to [s]believe that I am.[/s]

FFS, used to be a typical cyclist build. Emaciated from the waist up. Funny (odd) tan. More scar tissue than actual skin on all the extremities. Badly dressed.

Least i'm not skinny any more, inflated is the current look. And a nice uniform shade of pasty.

And i still have all my own hair, no grey. My younger brother is balding and going grey.

In my twenties, I used to be a dead ringer for this guy.....

Now, I am a lookey-likey of this guy...

As a laugh my wife and a couple of mates on a drunken night at ours added a picture of me to the dating website "beautiful people dot com" you have to be accepted by over 50 percent during a live vote of current users. I made it by about 5 percent if i recall, make of that what you will, I was dissapoint when the offers started coming in and the Mrs deleted the account 😆

Based on the news this week, ginger, bearded balding men of reasonable physique seem to be very attractive. A surname Wales might help, but hey, mine's a city in Texas, so a 10. Lose a point for more wrinkles, gain one for lower BMI 😉

Laughs at man in 30s (DrP) wondering if he's attractive!

Easy there Dezzy baby... I made it quite clear there's no wondering.... 😉

My point, if this trajectory continues, I'll be more George Clooney than George, bungle, and zippy....

DrP

(Which, of science has shown us anything...it will continue...)

Dunno, all the mirrors in my house are broken

[i]ginger, bearded balding men of reasonable physique seem to be very attractive[/i]

Who has Ed Sheeran pulled now?

A solid 10.0 and great full of my fathers genes. Damn fine fit and healthy and ageing beautifully, yes I’ve got greying hair but I still have it and plenty of it, lean and fit and a few face wrinkles add to the character.. slightly wonky teeth due to an accident, but that’s a conversation piece. A winner with the opposing sex and my sex too not so long ago, now I’m going through that middle age transition period whereby glances are fewer but the quality of them is greater..
Talking about character... that’s my downfall, I’m an arrogant bastard.

Has your Mrs been enhancing those youthful good looks? Can't be naturally that magnificent, it's just not possible!

What most people forget is that unless you have a perfectly symmetrical face, then what you see and what others see is very different 🙄

I've still got a full head of hair, most of it is not grey. And most of my own teeth. In low light, with 4 drinks on board the opposite sex might just, just call me a 4. That would make my day TBH.

EDIT: VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!!!!!!

I don’t compare myself to your average male model but Compared to the average Jeremy Kyle participant I’m a solid 10.

Nope.

You know that syndrome where people think they have some hideous affliction and are gopping despite being perfectly normal? Body dysmorphia or somesuch.

I have the opposite - I think I'm perfectly normal but then have that illusion shattered every time I look in a mirror.

God no. On a good day, when dressed up nicely and having done some grooming, I reckon I could scrape a 7 but a solid 5 is much more likely. I do reckon I look better now than I did 5 years ago though, losing 3 stone and growing a beard have helped that.

If I had bigger ears,I could be Charlie's stunt double 🙂

Must be a few BOBFOCs here assuming people do ride as much as they talk about it...?!

I put my pic up on hot or not many years ago out of interest as to how things worked on there and averaged around 7. Interesting thing was seeing how individials voted and getting the odd 10; all you need to do is meet a few of those.

Just had a quick peak and it seems to work as a way to meet people now which I didn't notice at the time I played with it.

Anyone fancy giving it a go then posting results here?!

always seems alright looking in the mirror, but look like a deformed mutant in every photograph ever taken of me...

This guy has pretty much stolen my face. To the point where I’ve used the below photo at work for something and nobody actually noticed

BTW, you can all be judgemental and make your own score cards:

Ha, bloody Google photos 😳

*watches funkmasterp wrestle with URL*

I'd say I'm below average. Do I care, sometimes if I'm honest. But overall not really. In my lifetime I've been told I look like Micheal Barrymore, Dev from Corrie and Minty from Eastenders.

The 2 most attractive men I have seen were both shorter than me, I am 5'4". Both of the were with blonde women who towered over me. Both couples looked very happy. Unfortunately for me, most short men seem to want tall women.

I am not pretty and in addition have an illness which causes skin problems, so I get very few dates anyway, whatever the height.

Men teach you very young that you have little to interest them unless you are good looking, a really pretty woman walks in the room and everything changes in a guys behavior even though they think its not noticeable, it is. I recently worked with some models and it was fascinating as they took their looks and attractiveness utterly for granted in a very casual non egotistical way, they were really nice friendly women. Chatting with them was amazing as their experience of daily life and interaction with both men and women was so alien from mine that it was like looking into a different universe.

Although harassment can't be fun, it must be wonderful to have so many extra choices in life, even in things like being more likely to get jobs when you have been for interviews. I know senior managers who have appointed both men and women just because of how they look and because they fancied them.

On the up side, being an ugly woman does mean I have always been able to enter traditionally male environments (IT depts, animal markets, farm sales etc)without any harassment at all, just as one of the lads, as no one cares I am there. When I have gone to some familiar places but with another woman, we have often had to leave because we then get the wrong sort of attention because she has been cat called or could not cope with the comments from men which I never suffer from.

Being an ugly woman has a lot of plus points, but it makes finding a partner or changing jobs tougher than it might otherwise be. It can get very lonely.

I realize from reading back this may look man hating, but its not, I have had great friendships with guys, wanting attractive women is just biology and not the mens fault.

Words can’t discribe how I look. However, numbers can. 7.5 out of 10

No.

Just asked a few ladies in the office I'm in and they settled on a 2, which is nice.

Don't care really either!

Does the 1-10 scale go into negative? I might break a record then.

Honestly, at my age who cares

I would say I'm grizzled

but I have a Ph.D and a very well paying job so does that help?

thing is, there is a difference between being "conventionally good looking" and "attractive"

I look like a french bulldog in a wind tunnel, so definitely not good looking, yet have always had women/men come and chat me up, so there must be something "attractive" about me *
