How attractive do you consider yourself to be

[thinkingisharderthandoing]

For your age, have you aged well, given up, had help, feel inner beauty, always felt ugly, means a lot to you, means nothing to you? Do you have good days, bad days?
Also any tips and advice to share.

I’ve never been attractive. At least now I’ve reached the invisible years so it doesn’t really matter.

Ugly but decent figure and my skin is pretty good for my age. Have the hands of an old woman though.

When I'm all done up I'd probably say I'm a 6/10 - always look much worse on photos than I see myself in the mirror.
Au natural - 2/10 - Big nose, terrible skin, facial hair, No eyes, Thinning Hair, Blotchy upper arms, odd boobs, loose skin, Fat thighs...wow I'm such a catch!!

Good figure but always black circles under my eyes - I think 7/10
DP gets fed up that all his friends tell him he is punching above his weight.
If we are out & he is at the bar/toilet I tend to get approached by men.
I’m reasonably happy in the right light 😂
I’m 48

A 6, 2stone lighter I’m a solid 8 who can glam up to a 9

I'm short, overweight/plump and at the moment suffer from stress induced acne, yet I've been asked out on dates and for my number several times, always have guys hit on me. I don't think I'm bad looking or good looking I just look like me. I've been told what is attractive about me is my eyes and my smile and that the way I carry myself and approach people is kind and genuine and that I'm funny and giving, I'm confident and take no shit from anyone and apparently that is attractive. I have also been told that I'm not the girl guys date but the one they marry and bring home to mummy and I'm not sure how I feel about the meaning behind that comment as a thing let alone how it's applied to me.

How did they get my picture?

I'm 22 now, I think I peaked at about 15/16. Then when I hit 19 I've slowly started to trickle downhill.

I used to be a size 8-10 And now I'm a 10-12 bjtnuys all gone to my boobs, thighs and face, so I can't fit any clothes nicely and my contour is a pathetic attempt to slim my face rather than sharpen up now weeps gently

But considering I've been in a comfortable 5 year relationship and we both eat pretty healthy most of the time I'm not doing too badly.

Out of 10? I'd say I'm around a 6.5/7. Strong 7/8 if I could lose weight.. and go blonde again.

I am good looking but not very well groomed or glamorous. I reckon with enough time and money, a personal trainer, weekly facials and a stylist I could be a 10/10

Time and money is all any of us would need to look as good as, say, Kate Beckinsale or Cheryl Cole. We've just got more important things to think about!

48 and thanks to my mam have a quite a young looking pixie face, no pointy ears though x

I've always thought I looked ok until recently someone said to me " us older mums" know what it's like. I was like erm older.. I'm a bit confused how old she thought I am. I have one toddler. He doesn't sleep well.

I look 200% better with a little under eye concealer, mascara and a bit of blush. Then I'd say above average, when natural and wrangling toddler I'd go with pale eye lash less troll. I'm too lazy to makeup regularly

I think I'm good looking and attractive. I'm 39 and was pretty when I was young but then I lost a lot of confidence in myself when my eldest was born and put on weight.
Now I've rediscovered that spark. I've lost the weight and got very fit and toned through Martial arts and triathlon training. My core is solid and I carry myself so much better. I started taking much better care of myself and wearing great clothes again. My hair has got it's gloss back. I feel much more beautiful and empowered than I ever did but a lot of it is from within. That spark.
Men and women just started reacting so much more positively towards me. I smile more and chat more.
I do think I'm objectively attractive with a good figure but a lot is inward.
Sure I have imperfections from childbirth but what man cares about that? When I'm standing tall, well groomed and sparkling well I can tell some men are drawn!
But I only have eyes for my DH.

I have no idea, people seem to find me attractive (men, friends say that I am) but I can't see it myself apart from the odd good photo that gets taken.

I was bullied horribly at school and then again at work, I had some vile things said to me about all sorts of things including my looks so all of that has made me a bit of a try hard I think...I'm in the hairdressers at least once a month and I always keep slim and simply cannot bare wearing anything that is not right IYSWIM. In all other respects I recovered from the bullying apart from being able to walk down the street looking a mess. Even when I'm a mess it's it's sort of put together and looks good.

My parents did their best but didn't ever tell me that I looked nice for fear of making me vain. I think I spent my life aiming low and ended up settling when it came to relationships.

I have great self esteem and feel like an 8/9 I know society would probably put me at a 6 but society is wrong.

I’m 48 - face/body is changing fast now but i am too and don’t care.

When I’m slim I’d say I’m an 8 but I had a baby ten weeks ago so atm I’m a 6 at best. DP always thinks I’m a 10 so that’s good enough for me .

I used to model in my teenage years.

Now I’m fat with a forehead full of wrinkles. No one would ever guess!

Why are you all giving yourselves a numerical value?

I copied the others!

Why are you all giving yourselves a numerical value?

To give an indicator of how satisfied we are with our appearance.

I like the way I look. I'm not perfect, I doubt anyone is. I do have lovely big blue eyes, a great smile, a sunny disposition and fabulous long legs, though, so it's swings and roundabouts. The whole doing-yourself-down thing isn't for me; life is hard enough without feeling like shit because you don't look like you stepped from a copy of Just 17.

When I look at the friends I love, I don't see wrinkles, grey hair, sturdy thighs or the size of their arses, I see the things that make them beautiful - I think that's always the same when we look at others. It's only ourselves we're shitty about.

My husband says I'm beautifull.

I see myself as a short (5ft4) dumpy dark haired women.
I am 10 stone and size 12 and a c section mum run and that makes me feel unattractive.

If I think of the positives I have excellent legs, lovely skin, eyes; nails and hair and looks after myself.

I'm very outgoing, I'm very smiley and happy and dress well and make an effort.

I don't know how this would work in an attractive rating though.

You have the best outlook that we should all do

"To give an indicator of how satisfied we are with our appearance"
No, you're using a rating system that some men use to objectify and compare women.

It's about feeling worthy. Not because of the way you look but because you are intrinsically worthy of love and admiration. If you feel that it shines through and is beautiful. People respond to that.

sizzledrizz don’t ruin the thread, Noone is judging or forcing anyone to post.
I actually think it’s interesting seeing how other people see themselves.
