Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

good looking, pfft, not at alllll.

Less than average more like it.

Specially since most people always compare me with my sister who is thinner , fairer and prettier ( star plus please contact me )! If tht were not enuff , my mother refuses to age and is the prettiest by far!!!!

And jale pe namak : I have hyper-pigmentation !!! ( before that I was average to good looking)

But my looks were never a hindrance to anything !!

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

I think I am very pretty. Others, however, do not think so.:naraz:…It’s like hellllooooo..do you NOT see my pretty face or what?

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

^Yo i think you are pretty!

@ Topic. Well i do think i am handsome and average looking fellow. Alhamdulli'lalh how Allah created me.

Lol i dont think anyone would wanna say that they look ugly or not so purteh.

....but i think im average
Not better than anyone, nor worse than anyone.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

when people compliment me by saying you're beautiful or you're so pretty i usually become suspicious of them and wonder what they want. totally wrong of me and i am confident about my looks, it's just a knee-jerk reaction, i need to be more trusting of others.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

i am heavenly blessed with health MA.... and i am just an OK looking girl but my husband and father says you are the prettiest.... so along my dad and husband i am the prettiest :")

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

Awwwie that’s really adorable! :flowers: Isn’t that just the most beautiful feeling and what really matters :slight_smile:

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

I think I'm pretty. But I do have my days...some days I look a little more, and some days I look a little less. But overall, I am happy with what I look like, Alhamdulillah. And my husband thinks Im beautiful (and I think my husband is super handsome!), so thats all that really matters.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

am i the only one who gets frustrated at this wishy washy cliched clap trap about beauty being in the eyes of the beholder ?
why are some people so reluctant to admit the reality. We KNOW when we see a goodlooking/hot person and we KNOW when we come across an unattractive one. but some of us cant help but say "dont say he/she is unattractive...s(he) will be attractive to SOMEBODY"
yes, there is the difference. a goodlooking person is attractive to the vast majority of people...but an unattractive person is only attractive to ONE person...or maybe two. if thats the case I want to be the 'attractive' thats attractive to more people !

now get this...the beauty in the eye of the beholder crap only stands true when we compare people who are very close in attractiveness; not when we compare a goodlooking person and an obviously unattractive one. so when we compare say a young Brad Pitt & George Clooney, it will come down to a matter of preference bcos both are very goodlooking men. it might be a pretty even split. but when we compare Brad Pitt and Danny Devito, the beauty in the eye of beholder wont stand true. 99.9% of people will say Brad Pitt is more attractive.

having said that i understand this will fall on deaf ears and some people will still say "so what...maybe the wife of Danny Devito finds him attractive"

its impossible to hold any discussion with those type of people

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

do you know what 6/10 means ?
it means you are in the 60th percentile in terms of looks. ie better looking than 60% of young adult women.
so are you sure about that assessment ? because most people think the scale begins at 5 !

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

I tend to follow the relative scale of 10 to rate the looks.
most people follow an absolute scale whereby they assign an arbitrary score based on their assessment of a persons attractiveness.
so its like "omg..she's so hot...she's a perfect 10 !" which isnt impossible bcos no one can be a 10 on the relative scale. at the same time someone has to be a 3, a 2 and a 1.

this scale tends to be relatively accurate and most people tend to come up with similar assessments of peoples attractiveness.
i personally rate myself at 4.5 which means i consider myself to be better looking than 45% of young adult men.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

What I think?

I think there is only one me. No one can be what I am. There are better men than me, there are worst men than me but there is no other me!

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

Yeah its still there, and whats equally hilarious is that my old profile is still active :D.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

Right, so I derived a universal formula for both men and women

Men: rating = 10*e^(-your age/90)

Women: rating = 10*e^(-your age/50)

I will improve it and add more variables when I get home

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

In our search of unattainable success we’ve convinced ourselves that what we’re doing is unique, the best, and entirely perfect. My case and point: American Idol. The most interesting parts of the show are, arguably, the auditions to be on the show. We find more entertainment watching our peers fail, than any real success and in the end we feel by watching those fail it elevates our own abilities. After watching 3,000 people fail to sing a song in any human key, our abilities as a singer is psychologically elevated despite not having changed at all. The Self-Empowering Delusion. You view something negatively and apply it to your own life for positive empowerment thinking, “At least I’m better than those people.” Failing to realize those people are far below the average (they would never put average talent on television.) Eventually you equal out to average, or below average but slightly above being the absolute worst. You have convinced yourself you’re not mediocre, but above average. The average actually being the below-average.

The same applies for beauty, our perception of our own attractiveness is way above what it actually should be. I don’t remember the exact study but scientists asked 100 people to rate their attractiveness on a scale of 1-10, something like 80% ranked themselves 7’s. Delusion of the highest order, the other 15% ranked themselves 8’s and 9’s. No one ranked themselves perfect, but no one ranked themselves a 5 either. Everyone is above-average, making the average…completely skewed.

Re: Do you think you are pretty/handsome?

Everytime I look in the mirror I lick my own reflection because I am that hot.
