    Oh geez, as I have gotten older, it is quite clear that men no longer look at older women. Fortunately, I still get some look from men and a smile. That makes me feel good. I have to wear baggy, unflattering scrubs at work with a cap to cover my hair. I always wear my glasses to protect my eyes from body fluids. My glasses make me feel particularly unattractive. Add the harsh fluorescent lighting, and I feel pretty much like Ugly Orphan. However, on the weekends and my day off, I look like a babe! As long as I believe that, it really doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.

    I would have to say, that I have never felt comfortable in my skin....... I'm a natural Ginger...soooo, always was the 'outsider' or got picked on mercilessly!
    Due to that, I developed a strong "super *****" exterior... which always did a Fantastic job of keeping people at bay... because my philosophy was 'if you're not close enough to hurt me, you're just far enough away for my liking!"

    Now, I've also been through a few different stages in my 41 years as well... from busty teen, to busy young mother, to overwieght unhappy girlfriend, to thin and getting comfy in my skin (current me!)

    So, I guess I can relate to what everyone else posts... even though my current BF says how pretty he thinks I am...etc... I find it hard to 'buy in' ......
    I'm really just me, it's all I can be...and it had better be! Cuz it's the Best of Me! LOL

    honestly it depends on the day. Somedays I feel sexy and others I know I am no different than the day before but I still feel rough. As I am losing weight there are more sexy days though haha :)

    i'm the same. some days i look in the mirror and think i look really pretty, other days i think wow u r so fat and ugly..

    its all a mood thing. ive had times wen i was hit on a lot by guys and times when ive had guys call me fat and ugly, and the two often happened at the same time!

    so there are times when i think i get alot of interest, there are times when i think i want to go back to skinny pretty me, there are times wen i think i am pretty and times wen i plain just feel yuk about it all and think im fat and ugly.

    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.

    The day? It depends on the minute for me! :laugh:

    Overall, though, I think how I feel about myself physically has much, much more to do with how I feel mentally and emotionally. Tired or depressed? I'm a hag. Happy and energized? I don't feel out of place around 20-somethings.

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

    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!

    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. :smile:

    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.

    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.
