Are you as attractive as you think you are?

CakeFit21

I do alright.

kenzietea

I have days where I think I look great, and days where I can't stand myself. I always thought that was normal?

heatherzotigh

I would agree with most the women on here who say everyday is different...

but overall I would say I don't give myself enough credit, and I think that goes to being over-weight when I was younger, and even though I've lost the weight (and I know I'm no ugly duckling!) I think that self-conscious fat girl likes to rear her ugly head sometimes and doesn't do much for myself self-image, but I'm getting better at seeing me the way I am now, and not then--also my husband is a super, ultra confident guy and he's slowly teaching me that it is CONFIDENCE that attracts, not just physical appearance!

hell, yes, I am as attractive as I think I am
unless I don't think I'm attractive, which happens quite often, then I'm not attractive
but as long as I think I'm attractive, I'm attractive.
I might be a bit bipolar with this issue...

I tend to think of myself as young and hot....

... until I catch a glimpse of myself in an unexpected reflection, or a photo.

... well, on the inside I'm young and hot!

baisleac

Yes.

Whether I'm attractive to someone else, or not, is beside the point.

I... am attractive to myself! :drinker:



p.s. My husband thinks I'm kind of hot too.

I don't get hit on anymore either. Haven't for years. But I think that's just the vibe I put out. I'm not looking to get hit on. I don't make eye contact and smile at men, like I used to. I'm friendly, I just think people know when you really are interested in flirting or whatever (and some married women do still flirt, like to be flirted with, and there's nothing wrong with that).

But yes, I'd say I'm as attractive as I think I am.

I am realistic enough to know I will never turn heads,it is what it is and okay.

anubis609

My inflated ego tells me that I am and that's all the verification I need.

Also, my fiance says yes. That's a second opinion, therefore it must be true.

_GlaDOS_

Why yes, I do believe I am. I have a lot more confidence in how I look these days. :flowerforyou:

Dawn_is_getting_healthy

I am every bit as hot as my husband thinks I am, and that's what matters to me!

PetitePerfection

I dunno. I mean I've always thought I was alright looking, but then you see those girls that are butt ugly and they think they're hot so, I mean for all I know, other people could think I'm as ugly as they are. It just seems like everyone thinks that they're prettier than they actually are.....well not really. It seems that a lot of pretty girls think theyre ugly but all of the ugly girls think that they're hot!! what is this madness!!:laugh:
but seriously, I think I'm pretty and guys stare at my *kitten* a lot :grumble: so...

catwrangler

I'm the one with the nice personality :ohwell:

CavewomanCoby

I do alright.

You do GREAT.

I'd go there in a second :P

mauryr

I've never been physically attractive, but I like to think that I'm better looking once you get to know me. However, since I've lost some weight ( and cut my hair and bought some new clothes ) it seems that folks are more open to getting to know me.

I think that's because I'm not so scary looking any more :-)

PetitePerfection

not sure if I'm more attractive at a lower weight or not but I will always be the shy fat ugly awkward girl when i look in the mirror. any physical compliments immediately get me defensive because I assume there's some sort of joke that I don't understand behind it.

exactly!! or if a guy flirts with me. I'm positive that it's just a joke and that he's going to go brag about how he got the ugly girl to fall for him. and I know it's ridiculous because people tell me that I'm pretty but, I feel like they just say that without meaning it b/c its just what youre supposed to say

lol, it's on!

OK, seriously, You're a stunner.

You need to let go of the paranoia- I highly doubt anyone is complimenting you sarcastically based on your pics, and if they are then they're jealous coz you're baben.

Love yourself because you deserve it. At the end of the day your opinion is the only one that should matter.

Almost certainly not. See #3 here: http://www.cracked.com/article_19177_5-shocking-ways-you-overestimate-yourself.html

bmqbonnie

I'm well aware that I'm gorgeous. My body has a little catching up to do with my face, but it's almost there and it ain't half bad.

I got hit on the most in high school though... kinda gross. I'm definitely more attractive now though I don't spend as much time around guys. Call me conceited but I figure they're too scared to hit on me now LOL

LavenderBouquet

I've never been one to get hit on, ever really, but of course, being shy and introverted sure doesn't help that. I know I'm not ugly, most days, but I'm definitely not someone to "hooah" about. Okay-looking is my definition I spose. Never been the type to think I was pretty =\

mznisaelaine

I went thru some very low self esteem issues a while back and so for me everyday is getting better. I never felt I was attractive but I am slowly but surely getting confidence. Today I feel better about myself than I did in the past.

AZackery

I'm beautiful. My looks are unique. This is the way, I am supposed to look.

In my opinion this is how every woman should think about herself. She's beautiful, no matter what anyone else thinks.

DizzieLittleLifter

After ending a 15 year marriage, I no longer have an opinion. I'll have to see what the market bares.

FWIW I think your a great catch.

I don't put much thought in to it honestly. I work hard to make my body look the best it can be and other than that I try to live a life of inner beauty.Of course I take care of myself, get my hair done etc, but it's not something I dwell on. I kw the OP mean though I do feel super old with all my classmates or 20-23yo :laugh: But Ohh well I'm probably more focused than most of them too

Saruman_w

I feel way better about myself than I did when I was out of shape. My confidence is tons better, but my courage and social skills need work though. Just not used to those kinds of settings.

You've got plenty to be confident about, 'cause you're definitely hot! :happy:

Lindsey_81

It depends on the day for me! I try to see what other's say they see. I am working on my self esteem

BetterWithAge

I'm alright

leynak

Meh, I'm ok. Sometimes I like how I look but then I usually catch myself in a mirror & think- Why did I think I was looking so good? I noticed lately when I'm out with my fiance he asks if I noticed that guy checking me out but I don't know. I never see anyone check me out & I definitely don't get hit on.

yoshi91610

Ok, somewhere in my head I think "You must be attractive because people wouldn't just tell you you are beautiful for no reason." But I must admit I hardly ever see this "beautiful" person others are talking about, even when I am at a lower weight.I don't know how I ever got to thinking I was extremely ugly either because my whole life I have been "cute, beautiful, pretty" But I never see it.

PANZERIA

I get hit on all the time and all of my fiance's friends want me, he thinks I'm gorgeous, everyone calls me pretty, and yet when I look in the mirror, all I see is a fat, ugly, useless whale.

You wanted honesty. So I think I'm far less attractive than others think I am.
