  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

How attractive do you think you are? rate yourself...

The more I get to know my feelings about the world, the more I reject the standard scale of hotness (1-10) because they're based on criteria that I find superficial.

I estimate that if you'd average the opinions of most on the outside, I'd end up as a 3 or 4. That's hardly what I think of myself, though. My strongest features (smile, body shape, eyes) tend to make me an 8, 9, or even 10 in some people's eyes, but I doubt I'd be unanimously seen as either of those numbers among any small group of people. I appeal to a very specific demographic and I've learned to be okay with that.

Hmmmm... I realize now that the way you posed your question is kinda what I was getting at. I guess if I combined both the above ideas, I land at a 5-7. Just a little above "meh."
 
I tend to be quite critical of my own looks.....

I think I fall somewhere in the 1-4 range.....
 
Probably about a 7.5/8.... have a pretty face, still youthful, and regular gym goer though not quite in the shape I'd like to be. If I got to my best shape probably a 9.
 
It's like internet inches but in reverse. You have to add at least one or two to the numbers people give to get anything even remotely accurate. :lol:

There exist guys that I find attractive that perhaps the majority of gay men (and straight women) wouldn't. If you had a hundred guys vote on one of them, and his average "score" ended up being a 5, that wouldn't alter my viewpoint. This isn't to say I'd bang every guy who scored a 5 - just that such guys exist. Most people might find my selections a bit weird, but they at least seem to understand that just because THEY're not interested, that doesn't mean *I* can't be interested. Different strokes and all that.

So here's the kicker - I am one of those 5s.

Yes, I find myself attractive. I didn't always. But I got to know me, I learned to love me, and part of that was learning to appreciate my good points while accepting my bad ones. And now, yeah, I like the guy in the mirror. But that "self-love" ends there. I don't think that because I'D hit that, that EVERYBODY'D hit that. I don't look at myself in the mirror and wonder how all the gay guys can keep their mitts off me. I just find that guy appealing, even though I'm well aware most other guys wouldn't.

Lex, man, you have got it summed up so nicely in both your posts - at least for me. I think we should all strive to love ourselves and I hope I am on the path to that. The confidence someone has when they are comfortable in their own skin attracts me a lot to a person.

Generally, I think I tend to be somewhat of a personality person. I can't help it, people fascinate me and I am more drawn to character than any looks (although I still have my types - while they are somewhat unusual, they tend to be quite open within that type). I tend to think I am a fairly interesting person, people seem to enjoy talking to me and I am always happy to talk to anyone. On a scale of 1-10 I would probably go for a 6/7 - on a good day I can be a bit of a raconteur and people appear to enjoy my stories and jokes (at least I don't get told to shut up too much), on a bad day still fairly decent company.
 
According to my own preferences I would say between 4 and 6.

This. Self esteem can be hard to come by. But I bet everyone deserves a couple more points
 
We can be a self-deprecating lot.
I am a realist - my physical presence is only going to stop trucks by my standing in front of them and getting run over.
My inner self - you likely will come to either love me or hate me.

I am who I am. I try not to hold malice toward anyone, even the few who have truly wronged me in my life. They are the hardest to let go and let God with, but I know I need to for ME.

So, appearance wise only? 1 or 2 is a realistic number. The inner person much higher. But my halo is more than a bit tarnished.
 
6 give or take 1 for lighting and haircut but I'm self absorbed enough to stylise the way I picture my own appearance. Taking sex appeal into account drops it a bit and the only other people who say I'm attractive are either family or online and anonymous. But then I can only think of three other instances since August when I've heard anyone I know being complimented for their looks and in two cases, it was me saying it.
 
It is hard for me to rate myself because I am not my type. I do not think I am ugly, but I also don't find myself to be particularly attractive, although I try to let that part be left to other people as to not be too hard on myself. I really hate the fact that I don't think I can smile anymore.
 
Depends on my mood. On a good day, I feel like an 8 or 9. Some days I feel like I just don't look right and wake up shitty..like a 2 or 3. Also depends on my hairstyle, I've had horrible haircuts and just wanted to hide under a cap all the time.
 
I would say I'm a 5/6, based on looking at myself in the mirror. Based on other people's reactions? I dunno, maybe 7? I feel like maybe I occupy this strange niche between "good looking" and "average"... I get hit on by a LOT of people that I would consider "average," like a strangely large proportion, and my friends all maintain that this is because I'm good looking. However I cannot recall ever being hit on by someone I would consider above-average or good looking (other than my former boyfriend), so I think that I'm a comfortable 6 or so; good enough to be a reasonable reach for all those average guys, not quite nice enough be in the same league as those good-lookers.
 
I have a conventionally handsome face..."did anyone ever tell you that you look like Adam Levine?" and I'm told I'm hot by some but IMO I'm way too skinny...if I averaged my face and body I'd probably say 7. I think my personality and intelligence are, again IMO, my best features. My dick isn't bad either, I guess.
 
Girls seem to like me. Guys I don't usually know as I have no gaydar and usually oblivious. Often I hear later.
 
my avatar is my picture, so you can judge by your self...

Let,s just say that when I am just out of the shower, I give me a solid 8/10, then I clear the fog on the mirror, and put my glasses on, and I drop way below average like 3.5/10 (average being 6, in my book)
