are you attractive?

I do everyday. it's great.

 

I don't see that at all, actually. It's easy to ignore attractive males and disconsider the huge amounts of fat, ugly, disgusting women out there if what you're hunting for is attractive women.

Also, a lot of women are just average...but they dress up, show some cleavage, put some heels on and shit, and needy guys start gawking at them. Me and my buddy call them "mirages."

Resso: I love these "studies"

 

Best answer yet.


I don't think it matters what gender you are, being attractive is an extremely useful quality. You do get it easier, despite what some good looking people seem to think.

 

Gah. We all have crosses to bear. And I'm more and more convinced, in the very end - they all weigh the same.

 

Yeah, I seriously disagree but whatever.

being pretty is a double-edged sword, but some people can weild that very effectively and reduce the bad edge down to a fraction.

I think ultimately it's a lot easier going through life very pretty than very ugly. This is not because life is unfair. This is not because people are shallow. This is because people are people. Humans are humans. Homo sapiens are homo sapiens.

This occurs in all species.

Maybe this is simply the biological mirror of chemical reactions; some chemicals 'look pretty' to other chemicals and react well, others don't and don't react. Some won't even mix. Water thinks oil is disgusting and oil thinks water is stuck up. Analogies for this abound everywhere you look.

Analogies for everything abound everywhere you look

It's beautifully complicated

 

what do you look like Mr. Writer?

it wasn't worth posting once.. let alone twice

 

Yeah I've seen it. Doesn't change my opinion at all.

 

All egocentric benefits come back to bite you in the ass. It's the nature of the machine. There are obvious pressures to being within the norm (which is what being attractive means), but a lot of times many of us are too self-centered to empathize.

Ok, so I've had waitresses come up to me to tell me I have nice features. Alright?? But that also has creates expectations of me that I cannot meet. And it really doesn't help when people assume it's easy for me, either.

Because it isn't. It took me a long time to realize also that there is no universal attractiveness. For a while, because I received compliments, I thought I'd be treated the same way by everyone.

It was a painful realization to me to understand that not everyone thinks I'm attractive. Again, that sounds better than being ugly - but I share the sense of insecurity, rejection, and disappointment with every person who considers themselves ugly out there.

I also realized that one can always be MORE attractive. It's never enough to satisfy people to be merely attractive. There's always someone out there who's MORE attractive than you, and for that reason everyone has experienced being "ugly."

Because we're social animals, what makes us happy is a sense of connection. Upsmanship is a temporal pleasure doomed to revert back to suffering. :cheers2:

 

I don't think I am. But people tell me I am.
But being attractive really is only a matter of opinion.

 

Damn, I thought being attractive is a matter of people being attracted to my outer appearance. If I only knew it was just a matter of opinion.. :hat:

 

i've grown alot as a person and although i still have insecurities they are far fewer than what they used to be, cate and alex can attest to this

i'm not insecure enough to constantly tell everyone and myself i'm attractive though
i know people like this and it's sad

alot of people find me attractive, that doesn't necessarily mean i think it
but it's kind of hard not to when everyone tells me i am
i still have things i'd like to improve in myself

the fact that people hire me based on my looks does help make me more confident about it

 

Honestly, I couldnt say if I'm physically attractive or not. I am very confident, bordering arrogant but I'm not so sure I'm attractive in my looks. I had someone tell me that 'oh well beauty is overrated' so I'm assuming my beauty must not be anything to write home about. I am however, a righteous and kickass mutherfucker.

 

I think you're attractive, Dave.
