Do you consider yourself to be more physically attractive than the average person?

[calenwen]

Oh I think you are! I remember the pics of you in the other thread

Tall is probably 5'9 and up or something. I'm 5'10" and I consider myself tall but I know it's not THAT tall. I have a female cousin who's 6'2".

Haha, thanks. I think I read somewhere that the average height of American women was around 5'4,'' and that always made me feel taller (I'm 5'8'').

I objectively am more attractive than the average person.

Proof required. Post pictures. I want to see what you look like.

this board must be Lake Wobegon or something... where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and all the children are above average.

I have a pair of heels that puts me at about 6'1..ha..that's a little too much for me though. I don't like when I'm taller than my bf or when i feel like i'm towering over someone.

But I do kind of like it when I'm wearing heels at a party and talking to the very tallest people there, eye to eye.

[Minde]

I consider myself average, maybe a little bit below.

I'm not sure I'm good at objectively judging these things, though. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and "handsome is as handsome does" etc.

[Lotus]

Hm, how tall is tall?

I really, really wish I was taller. I'm only 5'3" or 5'4" (I haven't checked in like a year or so) and I hate it. Taller seems more graceful and attractive to me. Even though I'm short, I always date guys way taller than me. Haha

I get a lot of compliments on my looks by older people (and by older, I guess I only mean one generation or so and up), and every guy I've ever "liked" has "liked" me back, but I honestly don't consider myself to be above average.

Yeah, I find that I get more compliments from people older than me as well, but that may be because everyone always thinks I'm older—despite my height. I'm seventeen but I get treated like I'm in my twenties. Heh. One of my father's coworkers told me, "You've really grown up, but you look older than you should."

Egh. I wish I looked my age.

I've only seen one picture of you, but I'd definitely say you're above average. Not that that really means everything—complimenting based on the average, that is. I just mean that you are very good-looking, as far as I remember.

are you SURE you're not my mother? Because everything you say sounds exactly like her. (I love her, you know--she's great, so that's not a put-down in any way whatsoever)

When I was like 7 years old I had one of those autograph books and I would go around trying to get friends and family to write in it. So my mom wrote a page of course, and what did she write? "Remember, pretty is as pretty does."

[redbaron]

the more compliments from older people thing? I think that's because older people give more compliments. They admire the beauty of youth and are confident enough to hand them out without making themselves feel lesser.

[jessica129]

We need to sticky the picture thread and put everyone's picture on the front page because i really can't remember what most people look like.

[macysmama]

Acually, I think most of this forum is above average. It surprised me, to tell you the truth! This is the only forum that I am involved with online, so I had no idea what all of you would end up looking like. Then I started seeing pics of different members and thought "wow, they are all so attractive!" heehee

ENFp as of today...

[Lotus]

Yeah, I wish we had something like that. I forget what most people look like.

[macysmama]

Whatever type I am, I thought it was important that this forum know what I look like, so I have a picture of myself on my avatar all the time. I was confused why more members didn't do this at first, but then I realized just how differently others types function.

[jessica129]

So...who want's to start the official OFFICIAL picture thread?

Am I dreaming this or did we have an official one that was stickied at one time?

[redbaron]

well you're very pretty, macysmama!

[dbmmama]

Yeah, I wish we had something like that. I forget what most people look like.

i can easily picture everyone in my head, from seeing their picture one time.

[jessica129]

Not me. I forget what people look like if i haven't seen them in a few weeks....well, i can remember but it's very hard and i have to strain.... a lot.

[strrrng]

lol

I think I'm about average. I've been feeling kinda ugly lately though.

lol, no jessica, you're hot

Seems like we have a somewhat similar mindset.

cool

It's not like girls look for pretty guys or anything, so what does it matter?

Spoken like a true loser!

I think this is true. I feel much much better about myself when I'm the best I can be and I know I'm trying than when I let myself go, even though I might not be ugly compared to the rest of the population even when I'm fatter and doing nothing to help my appearance or posture, etc.

+100

Putting in work builds much more self-esteem than just basking in natural traits.

...that it makes women more attractive? I put heels on and I get numbers, that's all I know.

You can have mine

LOL!!! You should have seen the old thread on this. Christ, everyone was a fucking supermodel.

From the one pic I saw of you, I disagree, objectively speaking

[Steve]

I do, and have generally carried myself with that in mind, particularly when wearing nice clothes and suits and stuff.

Yes, I do. I've had this reaffirmed throughout my life by attractive females (the compliments of "handsomeness" from older women were odd at times). Thus I have always had standards which I arrogantly maintained.

Same with the handsomeness compliments. I also developed high standards but in perhaps a different way than you. I tried to maintain more of that sleek, sharp, polished look as opposed to intense weight training as you've done. I work out some, but usually just for some tone. My ideal self image of attractiveness has been more of a look of sharpness, keenness, that I think mirrors the way I see myself ideally psychology.

I think the way one carries one's self is a result of knowing (not thinking) they are attractive. And this certainty of their attractiveness is not merely a concept, but a consistent reflection of themselves in the eyes of others -- specifically the opposite sex.

I think this also has something to do with what kind of women (or opposite sex) a person thinks they can get, which reflects how you see yourself.

It's interesting though, in times where I was lacking self confidence in other areas, when I'd look in the mirror I'd seem less attractive than usual, and even end up wearing clothes that didn't bring out the ideal vibe as much. Also I've seen plenty of women who are facially symmetrical, have well proportioned bodies, but lacking in personality and intelligence that I haven't been attracted to at all.

Like posting the pictures at the front so its not 200+ pages long again?

I haven't seen most people's pictures. I just remember the people who were on camera in Stickam, or various people's from the Post Your Pics '08 Thread.

Most people know what I look like from my web cam, since I rarely post photos.

[jessica129]

Thanks strrrng

yeah, and just keep updating the first page because really, that thread is just too painful to sift thru just to see a picture of someone.

I have rough memories of people's pics but I do think that this forum is above average on average heh.

I don't think that tallness = grace/attractiveness. There are lots of celebrities that I think are extremely attractive that are relatively short (e.g. Rachel Bilson).

Everyone thinks I'm older as well because I, too, look older than my age. I kind of like appearing older though, haha. Also, I spend my days with people in their 30-50s, so...

I only remember what a handful of people look like... people who post pictures often like bee or luis or jessica129.

I don't know about all the "sleek, polished" stuff. I wasn't trying to look like a body builder. I don't really put on mass, just get more lean. The "image" thing was more about perfection.

It's interesting though, in times where I was lacking self confidence in other areas, when I'd look in the mirror I'd seem less attractive than usual, and even end up wearing clothes that didn't bring out the ideal vibe as much.

Yeah, I know what kind of girls you're talking about. They made up 90% of the popular crowd at my school lol.

[olduser]

no. I sometimes think i look more interesting than most of the people around me but that is because i go to university with a lot of farm boys who grew up on ranches and all of them kind of look the same, no offense to them. this is despite the fact that i am in no way an exotic looking person.

[iAnnAu]

I am content in the non-hideousness of my appearance. I dislike feeling like people are attracted to me merely due to my appearance, even though I don't want to be unapproachable.
Once I'm infatuated on a person, I want *that* person to find me attractive, but otherwise my attitude is that I ain't tryin' to fuck everyone in the room, so why worry about looks?

If we did the photos again, I would only use it IF it was just photos and your name and your type. No comments, no 100's of pages of sifting just to find one added photo, etc. I would actually use it all the time and love it!

When I put the heels on, I get looks, but not numbers. I guess it probably depends on the person.

From what you've described of her, she seems like an overall nice person. So I don't mind the comparison.

[Creepy-]

Most days, I think I'm about average or maybe a little above. At the moment I am feeling a bit drab, though... winter blues, I guess. I care about my appearance and try to take care of myself, but I definitely think there are many more-important things to worry about.

[strrrng]

Facile accusations of projection is the best you can do, lol?

I said what I said because I thought it was funny how you were downplaying looks in the name of "charm and wit." Seemed like a copout.

I'm ok as far as looks go. I'm not always confident, and I can have low self self image, but sometimes I can be overly narcissistic, which isn't really good either...

pffft... you are very pretty.
