Personally, my opinion on how I look fluctuates. Sometimes, usually when I put a lot of effort into it, I think I'm drop dead gorgeous. Sometimes, I think I'm hideous. Most of the time, though, I think I'm simply average looking.

How about all of you?

I'm sorry for accidentally posting this thread twice. I didn't mean to. I thought my computer didn't post it and had an error, but it turned out it did. Mods, if you see this, please lock the other thread. Thanks in advanced. Never mind, thank you for deleting the extra, accidental thread.

This is pretty much exactly the same as the thread you posted four minutes before it.

Locked.


EDIT: OK unlocked it and killed the other thread at Abi's request XD. Carry on!

------------

How I feel about the way I look fluctuates too. I know objectively that I'm not unattractive, but how I feel about it will differ every time you ask me. How I feel I look facially hinges entirely on how clear my skin is at that particular moment and how I feel about my body depends on how much I had to eat that day :P

The only time I don't like how I look is when I've been crying heaps, because my face goes so yuck and puffy. Otherwise, yeah, pretty happy with my appearance- apparently I'm quite a confident person.

How I think of my appearance is focused around my hair. If my hair is the way I like it, I very much like my appearance and have self-confidence. If my hair isn't the way I like it, I don't like seeing myself in the mirror or having other people see me and I don't have much self-confidence. The way my hair's styled makes me look like different people, and with the length it is right now, there's only one way that I like it, so that doesn't leave much room for mistakes when I get ready to go out.

Let's put it this way..

On most days I think I am a 5/10, and on a good day I'll think I'm 7/10.

Usually I'm neutral, but I tend to notice when I look bad more often than when I look good. I used to be crazy about it though, very self conscious. I mean, this is going to sound incredibly cliché, but there's more to life than looking pretty.

That said, it is a pleasant surprise when I can look in the mirror and see that I look nice, but I don't want to put tons of time and effort into it.

Call me vain, but I've always been very confident about my looks. I don't go around parading myself to the world singing "look at me, I'm beautiful" but I'm not going to say that I look ugly either, because I honestly don't believe so. I just know that I like the way I look and I'm not scared to enhance it by wearing clothes that bring out my features. :P

I'd say I usually think I'm a 6.5/10, less or more depending on certain days. I think with one or two tweaks I have a pretty face, and I'm slightly chubby but not so much that it takes a lot away from my looks, haha. I'm on my way to more confidence, but in general I think I'm on the nice-looking side.

Considering I'm a pessimist, I'm surprised I'm mostly satisfied with how I look. Maybe like 6-7/10 if I had to use a number scale? Basically I'd only flatten my stomach a bit and not have acne. I could probably fix both things if I weren't lazy. Otherwise I think I'm good! Or at least acceptable. :p

I haaaate seeing pictures of me sometimes though. What I see in the mirror and what I see in a picture are two different things!

PERSONALLY I don't think I'm very attractive at all and most the time dislike how I look. I also feel like I look horrible in photos as well.. thus why I rarely post photos of myself.
Oh well, one day Im sure this'll change.

I personally don't care much about my appearance, as long as I'm presentable to be in public - clean clothes, not messy hair and also remove any cat hair, and I have to make sure I wash my face with warm water to remove any saliva (I think its also called drool) that comes out during the night

In the poll I accidently voted for "No, I normally don't." instead of "Generally I don't feel one way or the other." since I missread the topic, I thought it was about discussing clothing of choice.

To quote a certain sea captain from an animated series...

"Yarr, I'm... not attractive..."

Constantly having a rash all over my body doesn't help, nor does the fact that I'm losing the battle to keep my facial hair/stubble in check. I definitely do not feel as if I'm attractive, though I can at least look presentable if my skin allergies give me a break.

I try to dress decent if I'm going out anywhere, but if I'm just hanging out, I don't care, lol

I don't really like how I look, but recently, I've been a lot more confident about how I look. I mean, before recently, I didn't bother with make-up, I only brushed my hair in the morning and had done with it. Now, I have started to put on very basic make-up (a bit of powder, blush and eyeshadow) and I carry my hairbrush with me, everyday X3

I'm still not confident with my looks, but I'm starting to feel better about my appearance :3

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

I never realised it until recently but this pretty much sums up my feelings regarding my appearance. I know I'm not ugly, by any means, but how attractive I feel on any given day is pretty much directly proportional to how good my hair looks. Some days I can't be bothered to do anything with it; other days I can. It doesn't help that my fringe acts like it's completely independent of my body in its behaviour. Whenever I feel I need to look good, I put a bit of effort into styling my hair appropriately; when I don't, I don't. Simples.

There are days I know I look just blah, but I don't really care. Other days I will spend some time on my appearance, and on those days I would say I look alright. For the most part though I typically don't worry too much about how I look. I'm pwetty by my own standards. x)

I don't really mind my appearance. Chuck on a hooodie, t-shirt, jeans and sneakers and we're good. My parents wished I acted more like a girl, but honestly comfort > Appearance anyday.

Mine definitely fluctuates.

For instance, when I see myself in the mirror and flip my hair the right way, I think I look attractive, especially since some days I look taller. But when I first see myself, I don't look THAT good, since my hair is usually messed up.

I'm also one of the most non-photogenic people I know.
