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?

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.

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

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.
