Do you consider yourself good looking, overall?
I'm not gorgeous, by ANY stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I'll look in the mirror and say to myself "hey, not bad".

Do you think you're good looking?

2. Um, yes
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 02:01 PM by fertilizeonarbusto
Lived on my looks for years (undies and art model). I don't think it's anything special, though. Aside from exercising, I've done nothing to deserve the way I look. It was all genes and luck.

34. I was an art model too, like 30 years ago
I posed for a life size statue of Eve, God's primordal woman, consorter with snakes, plucker of taboo fruits.
They used a prettier girl's face but thats MY BIG BRONZE RUMP on a forever 18 year old winsome naked lady overlooking the city of Portland Or, from her perch on a front lawn of a stately house in the West Hills.

3. I'd make you melt.
Kind of like when the Nazis opened the Ark of the Covenant in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Take that any way you wish.

5. Depends upon what I'm measured against.
Generally, I'm just "me" - neither good looking nor ugly. I think that I used to be more good looking though.

8. I am overweight and wear my glasses more than my contacts and don't style
my hair as much as I used to.

But I am 'pleasant' appearing and people do not look away when they speak to me.

When I was thinner and took more care of my personal appearance, I thought of myself as attractive.

20. I dont really know!
Lets see.....
Pretty good body...when the clothes are on. Terrific butt.
Great posture!

Face: Not unpleasant. Wish I had better skin. Good cheekbones. But overall pretty funny looking, really, because of huge nose.
Overall, I like it, but fortunately I have a strong sense of self and wicked sense of humor to pull it off.

23. I've been told I'm cute.
I actually think I've grown into my appearance -- I was an awkward teenager, my hair didn't calm down until my mid-20s, I still trip over myself on occasion but I'm embracing my klutziness.

24. Let's just say that there's just one mirror in my house...
and it's in the bathroom. I don't linger in front of it very long. I've always been an unfortunate looking person. For some reason, my wife was attracted to me.

33. I'm a damn good lookin' man...
Put a burlap sack on me, and I'm still smokin'. I am, in layman's terms, the complete package. Although some people think I am uglier than the south end of a north bound babboon, I wholeheartedly disagree.

Judge for yourself. I have a pic hanging in the DU gallery. It's in the north wing, third one from the left as you turn the corner.

Sometimes I'm full of confidence and feel like I'm good-looking, young looking, attractive.

Other times I catch myself in a mirror unexpectedly and then I think, "Ew! Whatever made you think YOU were good looking?"

52. On a scale of one to ten...
...I'm about a six in my opinion. I have nice eyes, teeth (they're a little big but I like girls with big teeth so tend to like that about myself as well), hair (though since right now I'm in the process of growing it long after having it shaved, I currently look like a member of the mid-sixties Byrds with a little too much extra wave), and am about the weight I'd like to be. But I'm quite pale and am hairier (body hair wise), and shorter than I'd like to be.

It's great that so many DUers have a good self-image.... but this question makes me cross. I wonder what's more important though--your self image or the one that others create for you.
