Do you consider yourself to be ugly or handsome?

And an answer like 'somewhere inbetween' won't cut it. That shits for the birds.

What's your prettiest feature? What do you think makes a person handsome? What features put you off a possible partner? Do looks even come into it?

If you met the ugliest person in the world, but they had the greatest personality in the world, would you shagg 'em?

SERIOUSLY. How far do you base your attraction to somebody on their looks? And do you look good?

Are you sure?

I don't really see it, but I'm told that I'm cute.

In the cute-hot range, actually. I've had a lot of people tell me I look like John Cusack.

I used to think I was really nice looking, even though I knew that no one would actually want to shag me because I was boring and stupid. But now I just feel a bit fat and dumb looking.

You certainly have a strange-shaped tounge.

Hm. Lessee. Big nose, unkempt, longish hair, typically a couple days behind the shaving curve. I'm a hottie, no doubt. I seem to do alright in real-world applications, anyway. It's when I try to talk that things get a bit dodgy.

And I can't deny that attractiveness makes up a good 50% of the reason I'll initally pay attention to someone. And don't think I haven't paid for it. But someone who's not so hot can easily sneak under the radar by being funny, or otherwise endearing.

people tell me i'm attractive so i feel like i'm attractive

I've never been attracted to conventionally attractive people, looks do come into it but it's not that I'm attracted to either looks or personality it's individuals, if I fancy them then it's everything about them. is this because I'm a girl?

I don't think that I'm very physically attractive. Maybe if I put a strong effort into working out and getting into decent shape, I could be. I'm not *ugly*, but I don't think anyone has ever been attracted to me for my appearance.

When I'm upswinging, I think I'm gorgeous. When I'm downswinging (or when I'm fat) I think I'm a fat bastard.

Taking an objective viewpoint, I suppose I'm not too bad. There are certainly uglier people around. I wouldn't run a webcam if I thought I was horrific, but it doesn't lead to people offering me money for my pants.

I consider myself to be just like Mary Poppins, not that I look like Julie Andrews, really, I'm just practically perfect in every way.

I'm even tremendously modest, in a sincerish-type way.

You know, this thread kind of reminds me of one started by Mr. Insensitive way back when.

I believe I'm a hairy, ugly, goblin man who probably belongs under a bridge somewhere. Of course, I've also been told I have low self-esteem.

Usuaully yes, but my trollish friend George said he was getting sick of eating goat all the time and asked if I wanted to trade places with him for awhile.

I'm ruggedly handsome (ie. ugly).

But i know how to shake it on the dancefloor, and I have an ass that just won't quit, so that makes up for it.

I not ugly but handsome (at leas to me) implies ruggedness which I lack so, I place myself in the cute-cute catagory. I get brownie points for being charming though

I don't think that I'm really terribly good-looking. However, I seem to have a Woody Allen-esque ability to attract inversely proportionately stunning women to me. Not always a good thing, that, despite how it may sound to some. So maybe not good-looking but attractive? Magnetic? Who can say? It all sounds like so much egotism to me anyway...

Well that pic you posted to which you said you carried a striking resemblance? Well, yeah--that was hot.

I'm definitely on the beautiful side if you're counting neck and above. Most things below I'm not too pleased with, but I'm working on it. People have stopped me on the street to tell me I'm beautiful, but I've also had about the same number of guys point at me and laugh (or call me a dyke, which is always nice to hear). So as far as the feedback loop goes, I'm out of it. The loop. I have no clue.

Moriarty looks a bit like Neil Finn. Which means I'll be chasing him when he's 50.

Well, it depends on the day and what I'm wearing, but I'm generally cute as hell, and if I'm feeling vain, I'm damned hot. I get down on myself sometimes, but I've been told I resemble an anime character.

I have the onus of being cute. Which I don't mind as it generally true. I've been told I'm pretty, a rather popular alt-country bassist constantly refers to me as pretty, and I am also called attractive.

Whatever.

My favorite features are my eyes as they are green and nice. Combine the green eyes with wide smile, pale skin, and reddish hair, and it ain't all bad.

I have been shallow at times to sleep with people just because they were attractive and for all I knew I didn't have fuck all in common with them.

"What do you think makes a person handsome?" --Bah. I have nothing original to add to this. I find LOTS of different characteristics (both physical and intangible) to be attractive. Smarts, wit, goofiness, talent, drive, sensitivity, enthusiasm. The looks part is more difficult to categorize. I've been attracted to all different kinds of appearances. My best friend in college said that my preferences tended to fall into the "cool camp counselor" type. In that I liked guys that were kinda cool and kinda nerdy and usually clean cut. I've also tended to be attracted to tall lanky guys. But, the one thing that I can usually count on to drive me nuts--glasses. I love a feller in glasses. And boyish faces. Yup.

"What features put you off a possible partner?" Bad teeth. It's the only thing I can think of that has ever really put me off (as far as appearance is concerned). And unfortunately, most men who hit on me in the city in which I now live have had horrible teeth.

"Do looks even come into it?" Sure they do. But their importance fades very quickly. It's a cliche, but it's true: I just want good stuff inside... as long as he doesn't have nasty teeth.

"If you met the ugliest person in the world, but they had the greatest personality in the world, would you shagg 'em?" I can't just shag and then shake a leg. No matter the looks.

"SERIOUSLY. How far do you base your attraction to somebody on their looks." At first, it's very important--because that's all I have to go on. That doesn't last for long, though. SERIOUSLY.

Since there is now a picture of me on the board, I can't say I think I'm gorgeous, now can I? All it would take is one person to say "Bah! You're as homely as a mule's ass!" and I look quite the fool.

Kali: What does "onus" mean? One of my friends is nicknamed Onus, but none of us know what it means. As with all nicknames, it has a funny story to it that I will not tell you.

Of late I've glanced up into the rear view mirror and thought how good-looking I appear to be. But I'm sure it won't last long.

"Moriarty looks a bit like Neil Finn."

I had no idea who you were talking about, so I decided to investigate.



That's fucking uncanny. Same regular boy's haircut and everything.

i have a problem with body image and self-esteem. sometimes i hate how i look. sometimes i really fucking hate it. mirrors piss me off. me and my boy hate mirrors. i hate meeting people and i hate how people treat me because of how i look. i'm just a sucker w/no self-esteem.
sometimes i think i'm ok, but that's usually when i'm not thinking about it.
(sorry this post is so 'wah-wah-wah my life sucks')
oh yeah, and the media fucking decides what's pretty and what isn't. its all about aesthetics, baybee. if someone who doesn't look like a movie star goves you goosebumps, then that is whats beautiful to you. knowwhati mean? but anyway.

moriarty is CUTE. definitely not ugly.

and i've seen an oooold pic of arthur from another mailing list, and he did indeed look like ritchie hawtin and was indeed sexy. skinny guys with glasses and shaved heads will do that to me almost every time. not every time, though, i don't fancy my flatmate and never have!

I think I'm absolutely gorgeous. And as I've never met anyone off Barbelith, who are you to doubt me?
