Poll: how important are your looks to you

[Plastic'sWife]

I dont think about it often, but if asked that question I would probably say 'yes'. What I definitly *dont* think of myself is sexy... I dont think that I am sexy at all..

 

[Hipkitten]

thanks !! i feel really bad for going on i feel really whiney lol

Don't feel bad. We've all felt down, and damn it, sometimes it's just healthy to vent

 

[sanrio]

To be honest?? ummm...probably yes. not sure

But it doesn't just come...I had to change myself a lot...I had to feel pretty so that ppl could consider me attractive.

So Tiamaria...head up...feel attractive...and u will be attractive.
Good Luck!

 

[Ella]

Yes, I consider myself attractive. But so much of being attractive is non-physical-confidence is very important, feeling attractive makes you attractive to others.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i believe you are your own worst critic so im not even going to go into it! all the flaws would take me hours to point out!

 

[PrinceOfCats]

I can't look in certain mirrors. The mirrors in TK Maxx are the worst. If anyone finds themself attractive in the mirrors at TK Maxx I will give them a karma point just for rarity factor!

 

[Aida.Sevan]

I feel myself attractive when I feel good, when I am comfortable, I wear clothes that I really like...

 

[Missoni~Heiress]

i dont know... heaps of men find me attractive... but i just see myself as an other normal girl

 

[AlexN]

Not at all. Never been told so, never had a true girlfriend, etc.

Ditto. Apart from the girlfriend bit. And girlfriends saying so doesn't count anyway.

 

[AlexN]

^I dunno. I think if I had a girlfriend, I might feel a bit differently.

 

[Stig Of The Dump]

mindblowingly so

 

[Angyl]

See, men always tell me I'm "cute" and i hate that. I want to be stunning or gorgeous or sexy. Not cute.

I think I still look like a little girl with a troll nose and gigantic hips. My teeth aren't straight either and I want to fix that. I've gone a long way from "I'm hideous" though. I'm now at, I'm plain. I always think SO's are lying to me about how pretty I am. They're doing it becuase they won't get any otherwise. hah.

Alex, I have to be 100% honest with you. You do not have a classic handsomeness, but the more I look at your photos, the more I find you attractive.

Anyway, to answer the question. It took me a long time to realize this, but I am very pretty. None of my classmates ever wanted to be my boyfriend from 1st grade on up to 8th grade. It really picked at my self esteem, even though out of school, older guys, adults (female and male) and other young girls would say I was pretty. Not until this year have I had any expressions of interest from the opposite, and it has helped me boost my confidence.

However conceited it may sound, I can look in the mirror, smile, and say, "Yeah, well, I'm okay."

 

[POTC_ROXS]

My appearance is very important to me, though that may seen shallow to some, its the first impression people make of you. Im not a vain person, i just try to dress nice and appropriately. With todays appearance obsessed society, it is hard to not care about your appearance. It would benefit the greater good if people overcame this physical appearance issue, since many kind and sincere people may not have the greatest fashion sense or style.

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

I agree with hipkitten... my face structure has changed in the past year... I have a tiny dimple in my chin and different, bigger cheekbones... strange. Everyone changes every day and what's on the inside counts too

and have these topics been merged? *confused*

 

[model_mom]

Yes,I think that they cover the same issues: Are you good looking? Do you think you're attractive?

 

[adorefaith]

my appearance is quite important to me....i do focus on it in my quiet moments quite a bit....take a glance at a mirror here and a car window there lol sometimes it depends on the day and on my mood, but my mostly i am somewhat concerned about how i look...my hair, face, skin, clothes etc

as for the attractive thing....its a toughie! for some reason i just never believe people....no matter what people say, how emphatic they are and how often they say it, it just doesnt matter to me...nothing seems to change that. i think i am probably fairly attractive, by other people's standards...i have guys hitting on me fairly often enough and i catch people looking at me sometimes...quite often i think its more how i dress and my overall image rather than some striking facial feature, which i dont believe i have. i have moments when i slap on my makeup and dress up where i can feel pretty, and those are nice moments, but i'm not angelina jolie, imo lol i was in a relationship not long ago where she told me we'd walk down the street together and she'd see someone turn around to take a second glance at me at least every few minutes, but that i was completely oblivious to it and would never see my own attractiveness... i dont know if i believe that. sometimes i think people are drawn more often to the energy and feel of a person than purely their physical appearance, so maybe energy wise there's something about me, but purely physically i'm probably just fairly attractive....i'm not ugly, i know that....but like i said, definitely no angelina jolie.

 

[twilight fairy]

It's a true rarity for me to look in the mirror and say, "I look great today!".
I'm so self conscious. I know that looks are very important to me. But that doesn't help me feel any prettier. I always find something to obsess over. I wish I wasn't so vain, honestly..

 

[Kimkhuu]

I am very pretty.

That's a great thing to hear.
