How beautiful do you think you are?

[Southern Kross]

Face: average to below average
Body: above average

Although, I think people care much more about face than body so I all but disregarded it...

I am wondering what the OP thinks will come out of this thread.

Obviously replies are going to be "It's in the eyes of the beholder" or "I am average, unless when dressed up/looked at from a certain angle at moonlight/..."

I doubt too many people will come along saying "I'm a stunner." for fear of seeming a little bit full of themselves.

EDIT: And I forgot to say, I am obviously a stunner.

If tall, dark and handsome is the standard then I'm the opposite.

Pssh, I'm not a stunner. I'm the number one stunna!

^Heh. I'm "tall" and "dark", but not sure handsome qualifies. I get called that, but personally, I feel like I've had bad hair day since I was 9.

 

[Eckhart]

I am very undecided. I myself am mostly happy with myself in that area; sure, sometimes I find here and there something, but I am mostly happy. However I don't really know what impression I make on other people. I don't really get much positive feedback, but also not really negative one either (only thing I get to hear sometimes is that I would be too pale ). At least I don't seem to repell people just by looks as far as I can tell so I won't vote for "below average". I know I don't fit into the classic ideals of male attractiveness of society, so I will vote for average I guess.

 

[Totenkindly]

Some days I feel like I'm really beautiful, some days I just want to crawl under the bed and not come out.
I'm not sure what makes one day different from the next.

It's kind of annoying.

The best days, I just feel happy and whole and potent and live spontaneously without having to step outside and analyze myself.
Those are the days I'm in my own skin and just me.

Average if you factor all things together. Certain parts are above average, others considerably below and others somewhere in the middle. Altogether - average.

how many zones are we talking about?

oh and Im all in all below average since Im fat. I do think my face is kind of pleasing to look at though.

 

[INTP]

i dont know. i dont really know what makes a man attractive

 

[entropie]

I am hot like chip fat, but only on the inside.

 

[Chaotic Harmony]

Meh... Average. If I put the effort into applying makeup then I feel a bit above average, but without it, I feel average. (And for the most part, I never make the effort unless it's a special occasion)

 

[JocktheMotie]

Either nearly every NF has body dysmorphic disorder or we've got a bunch of fug NFs.

I'm assuming above average means 6+ on the 1-10 scale and I think I make it so I voted that. Plus, Christina Aguilera or whatever her name is says I am beautiful no matter what they say, and she's famous so I think she knows what she's talking about.

That's how I feel, but the last person I was with basically said that my best feature was my face and my personality, and even if my body wasn't what I wished it could be, in person the combination of everything working together made me attractive to them even if I could dissect myself into parts that were and weren't physically attractive.

IOW, I think for some it's a big-picture, total package thing; and just because some parts are average or below doesn't necessarily meant the entire package ends up average or below par.

 

[MacGuffin]

If the standard for beauty is a 6', blonde-haired, blue-eyed, overly-buxom goddess

That's a bit tall...

I imagine that would be a midget for a Na'vi though.

"I see you... and crap, you're tiny!"

My perceptions have a history of being a bit distorted about my appearance. This is also added to the fact that I tend to be more unaware of my appearance than what is culturally conditioned for women. I don't have a consistent opinion on it, and not sure how it matters if I achieve one except that it is supposed to help social confidence. I'll admit to a funny mind-trick that happens to me, I easily imagine I look like various people. This is especially true after watching a movie. I'll find I relate to a character, sometimes unknowingly until I leave the theater and have a fleeting sense that I look like they do. I have also used my imagination negatively to conjure self-images that were not tired directly to reality.

I think a sense of how one feels about appearance is related to how they feel socially.

 

[Queen Kat]

Above average. My face isn't horribly deformed. It's a bit like the average (for females of my color), plus it has some qualities that are perceived as attractive, according to some scientific theories (big eyes, no wide jaw). I have a very light skin, so I died my hair darker so it wouldn't make me look ill and this color suits me very well. And my body is pretty much in proportion according to science (75D-69-101), I just have to work on my arms. I thought I was very ugly in my teens, even though I never had acne, but thanks to science I learned that I look above average. (However, I learned that with "UGLY" they only meant unpopular back then. Thank God, I'd rather be stunning and hated than popular and hideous.)

 

[CuriousFeeling]

If physical beauty meant looking something like a Victoria's Secret model, that would make me average. I look more like a librarian or scientist, lol. Inner beauty is another story though.

 

[Lady_X]

i don't think my sevenness will really allow me to say ugly hurtful things to myself too much without at least following it up with something positive or encouraging so even if there are things about my appearance i don't love i still feel pretty confident about it.

 

[Nicodemus]

i dont know. i dont really know what makes a man attractive

Post a picture, and I will dissolve your uncertainty.

 

[Walking Tourist]

Just about average. I get better as I get older. I could stand to be taller but that won't happen. My hair is either awesome or awful. There is no happy medium.
