Do you consider yourself good looking?

[Sharrilanda]

I’m OK in real life, but not the least bit photogenic 😂

You?

Quite, but I don’t like my type of looks — soft features, curly fair hair, blue eyes, fair skin, rounded body type. You’d cast me as a milkmaid in a Hardy adaptation, or the innocent country cousin adrift in the Big Smoke. Whereas I’d love to look hard-edged and androgynous like Tilda Swinton.

God no ! But I honestly don't care. What I look like is way down my list of priorities, however I do notice women who do care and feel a bit jealous of their look, especially women my age or above. I often want to stop women on the street and say 'you look bloody fabulous'

Fucking gorgeous

No, I look like a potato on a good day. But that’s okay I’m generally more bothered about my health.

I'm happy with myself. I have faults, but I have enough other stuff going on that it compensates. I'm 51 and rarely wear make up, I smoke, I don't follow diets, I don't wear sun block, I have never had botox or fillers, and I rarely go to the hairdresser. But I have thick wavy titian hair, good skin, very dark eyes, great legs, and so far I don't look like a crumpled paper bag. I'm slim and average height.

When I was younger I found that men approached my friends first, always. But they always ended up talking to me and asking me out. My friends were attractive. I was told two conflicting things, one that men felt intimidated by me until they got to speak to me, and second that I was attractive because I talked about sport, cars, things, current affairs, jobs. So, I was told I was attractive. But, maybe I was scowling or looked haughty, or stuck up! DH says I'm beautiful, too often and I find it a bit ridiculous. I've never been beautiful, that is something that few people are.

Snap 😂

I'm a potato but men love me. Literally regularly have men fawning over me quite a bit. Happily married though

Back in the day I was, and photogenic.

I'm nearly 70 now so not so much but I scrub up quite well. Thanks for the good bones Mum.

Hell, no. I'm extremely overweight and getting old. Menopause has given me facial hair I'd rather do without. I move badly because of arthritis.

But I've a friendly, expressive face, I have great hair and I live with people who love me and think I'm great. That's fine for me.

Never have done and probably never will now. DM told me I was fat as a baby, child and teenager and I believed her and I've gained even more weight since then due to health issues which mean it's really hard to get off again. I wouldn't mind being as fat as I apparently thought I was as a teenager nowadays.

Thought I looked nice on my wedding day after the pro make up and hair and then I got the photos and hated how I looked in almost all of them. The corset of my dress bending on the way there didn't help so looked like my boobs were going to spring free at any second through the whole day even though they were actually secure in the dress. I have literally one photo I find semi passable of me from before I left the house.

DH loves me to bits though and I've made two gorgeous children so I haven't done too badly there at least.

My face is.. or at least was when I was younger.. quite pretty. I'd say 6/10. Not stunning, but not plain.
My body looks like a sack of potatoes. A smaller sack of potatoes when I was younger but a sack of potatoes none the less. And it's not something dieting would fix.. I've been a size 8 uk and it was still a sack of potatoes.
But can't complain as having a vaguely pretty face has been OK
It's pretty rather than striking and I'm sad I've never looked chic or elegant. Suit more 'girlish' looking styles. I don't think I'll age very well tbh. Still doing OK in my 30s but I don't think I'll suit aging.
Some women are so handsome or striking that it doesn't ever fade
Women like Tilda Swinton, Charlotte Rampling etc
If I could change my appearance it would be to be more striking/interesting looking.

Yes I do, but I'm too fat now to be conventionally attractive. I'm also not white so I'd never have been picked as the most attractive woman in any group. But I've never had problems attracting men.

I don't photograph well. My own parents would never buy my school photos, but would buy my siblings.
I was picked on throughout school for my looks (and shyness).
When I worked, several colleagues referred to me as a "dog", which I now understand is a term for an ugly woman.
I was ugly in my "prime", and now I am in my 40s and look even worse.

I’m told so but can’t see it in photos (at 60)

Hell no. When you get to 60 'good looking' goes out the window. I used to be really pretty and petite but now I don't recognise myself when I look in the mirror. Mainly due to hair loss, yellow teeth, humongous boobs and a wart near my right eye that keeps on growing. If I had money I could probably sort it all out.
But hey ho DH loves me despite all the uglyness and I love him for that.

better looking now at 51 than ever been. Mainly due to weight training 4 times a week so am v shapely not skinny . Good bone structure , thick hair and HRT / occasional Botox

I'm OK used to be really attractive but had no confidence.
Now no boobs due to cancer I'm more confident don't give a shit and Scrub up well.

I was when I was younger. I still scrub ok.

God, no! I was once voted the ugliest girl in class and it was unanimous....including the teacher!😕ive always been the ugly friend.

Doesn't bother me now though. I look after myself, dress well, eat well, etc. I love me!😄

I have always been told that I am ugly by other people (not family and friends). Even in my youth I wasn't a looker! I have only recently come to terms with being ok looking like I do. I don't think I am grotesque and don't deserve to have random men take the piss and make negative comments (nobody deserves that when just going about their day to day life!). I deal with negative comments much better than I used to. I mostly just want to be invisible/ignored though.

Yes. I'm almost 40 but look a fair bit younger. I've always had a pretty face. Not particularly skinny but small waist/big boobs. Long shiny hair. Who knows what I'll look like in 10-20 years though. Older but I can't imagine changing massively (hopefully) as I look very much the same 20 years ago.

I do think I'm pretty. Been told I am a lot. My nose is a bit wide but I like the rest of my face.

I am fat though nowadays so I'm pretty much invisible.

Yes, I am frequently told I am and I can see it myself. However it doesn't guarantee anything. I get pervy men looking but that's all, it doesn't mean they want to be in a relationship with me, and it's brought me cattiness from a small number of women.

Jesus, I can't believe that vote took place! Awful.

[[ think there is a difference to being attractive and being " beautiful".
Being attractive encompasses a lot of different things - your features, figure, how you carry yourself, how you smile , how you laugh. It is more than just how your body and face is. It is you. It is your personality as well.]]

Agree with this. I'm attractive not beautiful even at 54. I think all my female friends are as well. I think if you like someone you find them attractive. Plus being stylish, well maintained, well presented helps.
