If you were a man, would you find you attractive?

I'm just getting ready for my valentine's date tonight and looking at myself and thinking " Gordon Bennett, it's a good job he loves you"
I wouldn't fancy me I don't think. Even with all the effort I've made tonight.

What about you?

I don't understand the question, I have no idea how a man would feel as I am a woman.
What I do know is that overall I like myself and that some men fancy me as demonstrated by their behaviour.
If a man had the male equivalent of my looks and personality then yes I would find him attractive.

Ive known very plain women who have been married several times. I was quite attractive in my younger days (did some modelling) but was never one with a lot of boyfriends, but I lived in France for a while and felt like a prize piece of beef with all the attention I got! Not repeated anywhere else.
Now, no. Too overweight and I'm over 60.

Who cares what men think?

Hoglet70 · 15/02/2024 09:44

As long as DH fancies me I'm happy. He doesn't look too great either and I still fancy him!

I can definitely see I have gone downhill in the last 5 years, I think I've aged a lot. Nobody but DH has fancied me in years haha.

Stillfalling · 15/02/2024 09:51

Yes, I think I’m great. Intelligent, interesting, lively, active and pretty ok looking for my age.

emmylousings · 15/02/2024 10:00

Yeah maybe. Some days, not others! I like my figure but I do have some ropey features too. I'm always surprised how much DP finds me attractive, which is nice.

Not a chance. I'm absolutely bogging to look at.

Sorry but this made me cackle 😂

DemBonesDemBones · 15/02/2024 14:59

100% yes.

ShinyPrettyThings87 · 15/02/2024 15:00

Me looking at myself in a mirror, yeah.
Me in a photo... Hell no.

Aroundthewaygirl · 15/02/2024 18:52

Hell no, I wasn't very attractive when I was young and I'm far from attractive now that I'm old. My hair is thin, my face is scarred. I'm also not very shapely - no hips, not much arse, wide shoulders. I usually find women with curvy bodies and with thick hair and clear skin attractive.

LondonQueen · 15/02/2024 22:27

I think I'm quite attractive and many men have told me so. So yes. However there's many other women I'd rather choose!

TeabySea · 15/02/2024 23:57

Actually, I think if I was a man, I'd probably be gay. So, I still wouldn't be my type
I'd definitely be my friend though.

AmaryllisChorus · 16/02/2024 00:03

No, definitely not. I'm straight but I have met women who make me think, if I was a man I'd be speechless and on my knees with lust. They look nothing like me - the opposite, usually.

SirenSays · 16/02/2024 00:17

I like how I look, but I'm bi and not my type.

BigPussyEnergy · 16/02/2024 00:21

Yeah, I have a nice face and great boobs (which my ex-FWB complimented in his valentines text yesterday!)

I'm massively overweight but then so was my XDP of 10 years and I fancied the pants off him, so I think male me would also be attracted to chunky woman.

LittleLifeRaft · 16/02/2024 00:23

There was a thread on here ages ago about what you find unattractive in men and unfortunately I ticked a lot of those boxes. My DP is lovely but bless him, I would rather be in my shoes than his!

IHateLegDay · 16/02/2024 08:40

I 100% wouldn't. I hate how I look.
In my younger days, I was more attractive but people mainly fell for me because I was wild and fun.
Now I'm fat and boring 😂

Bigearringsbigsmile · 16/02/2024 09:16

Some really interesting replies!

I do think I need to lose weight, tone up and take a bit more care of myself. I have got a good rack and I can be good company and my dh certainly finds me attractive!

Who cares what men think?

Women who want to have sex with them.
