Are you the better looking sibling?

I’m one of 4 (3 girls, 1 boy.)

My sisters are very pretty, naturally slim whereas I’ve had to battle my weight all my life, My face is also more plain compared to theirs,

Teateaandmoretea · 10/03/2018 19:36

Nah my brother and I are both equally average looking I reckon

Duckswaddle · 10/03/2018 19:43

Definitely not, and didn't I know it growing up!
I'm a lot more settled in myself now though so certainly don't care as much, and I can scrub up all right I think.
People generally don't like me very much though, not sure if my severe resting bitch face has anything to do with that...

I'm the oldest of three sisters. There's not even a year between myself and my middle sister and 9 years between myself and the youngest. My middle sister is naturally beautiful and intelligent with a very gentle and kind nature. When we were younger people would always comment on how pretty she was and then they'd tell me that I looked like my dad! Just what every little girl wants to hear 😃. I will admit to being quite jealous of her growing up. Now that we are older I scrub up well with makeup but I look ill without it! I don't go anywhere without my face on. She's still beautiful and looks about 10 years younger. My younger sister is pretty too but I think we both tail behind middle sister. Middle sister hasn't had it easy though, she'd love to settle down and have children but it hasn't happened.

Itsnotmesothere · 10/03/2018 20:08

No. My two younger sisters are both prettier than I- their features more symmetrical. It doesn't really bother me, in my opinion, I'm not unattractive.
My mum was good in that she never made a difference between us and we all have a good relationship with each other; it counts for a lot.

ToastyFingers · 10/03/2018 20:18

We are both beautiful in totally different ways.
Dsis is tall and blonde, with long legs and cute freckles.
I'm petite and dark with big eyes and a teeny waist.

probablynapping · 10/03/2018 20:22

DB outshines me in the looks department but I have a much better work ethic and that's what's most important to me so not at all bitter

user1472333009 · 10/03/2018 20:26

There are four of us. I'd say I'm definitely the best looking with my middle brother coming a very close second. My sister is reasonably good looking, she's also very outgoing & a lovely person. My older brother isn't the best looking.
Every family I see with a few siblings seem to have a less than good looking sibling amongst them.

MsJuniper · 10/03/2018 20:27

We're all fairly nice looking but have battled weight issues since childhood.

My brother is tall and has been the most successful at overcoming the weight thing through sport. He is handsome and charming with a big smile and a habit of landing on his feet. He came in to see me at work once and my colleagues were

Sister is similar to me in height and weight but a better shape, lovely hair and smile and just overall more of a natural beauty. She is often mistaken for being significantly younger than she is.

I am not so good at looking after myself in terms of hair, makeup, nails etc and just not quite as attractive as my siblings but I scrub up ok and barring weight I'm happy with my appearance.

crashbangwhallop · 10/03/2018 20:37

Have two sisters. I’m the tallest and the prettiest and the thinnest. I’m also the most intelligent.
Unfortunately I’m not very tall, pretty or smart and I’m verging on overweight so it’s not going well for them

Marley45 · 10/03/2018 20:37

No, my sister is properly beautiful. I’m not too bad but am older by 4 years, and have aged in my face since having my son.
Luckily I adore my sister so it doesn’t bother me that she’s better looking than me!

SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace · 10/03/2018 20:38

My sister is 3 years younger then me and absolutely tiny. She's always been a size 6-8 and 'perky'. However she often gets mistaken for the older sibling (which she hates!). My weight fluctuates slightly but tends to be a curvy 10-12, bigger boobs etc. I have better skin and hair then my sister but I have always felt so envious of her figure. I've always felt too fat for my frame (we're both around 5'5). Some days I feel like the better looking one and other days I feel that she is by far more beautiful. It's swings and roundabouts I suppose which doesn't really answer your question.

phoenix1973 · 10/03/2018 20:42

No. My sister is tall, long legged big boobed with blonde hair and brown eyes. She's also good at everything.
My brother is gawjus and always has been. He's also the most amazing person, clever and always knows what to say.

Elementtree · 10/03/2018 20:47

How are you supposed to know who is the better looking?

I'm not sure if my brother or sister have stronger opinions on the matter but I think we are all fairly similar. Maybe that means I'm the ugliest?

Dancingmonkey87 · 10/03/2018 20:49

I’m the more attractive one out of my brothers and slimmer however they are more intelligent than me.

NotLinkedInSnowedIn · 10/03/2018 20:53

Equal I think... but I'm either striking or weird looking. I'm not sure which. My sibling is not striking but he isn't unusual looking either I sometimes think I have a weird face. I've NEVER had much look with men either so I kind of suspect some people do find my look too unusual.

katienana · 10/03/2018 21:06

My sister is now slimmer than me but she always wishes she was as tall as I am. I think she has a nicer nose and smile than me. We look like sisters, but have quite different colouring and I am probably more striking looking, she is more cute. She is much more outgoing and always had loads of fellas chasing after her. Dbro is handsome, I wish he would keep out of the sun though to preserve his youth!
I honestly think it would be very difficult to pick the best of the 3 of us.

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 10/03/2018 21:07

My sister is definitely much better looking than me, as I have been told my whole life. Gorgeous skin, hair and eyes. I'm average with shit frizzy hair.
I probably have a naturally better figure, but I can't be bothered to work at it, whereas she lives in the gym (I have children she doesn't) so it's gone to ruin .
I was academically 'clever' at school, but my sister has done much better in life than me being self-employed.

I am proud she is my sister and ever so slightly envious

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 10/03/2018 21:10

No and never was. Brother is the better looking followed by sister closely. They are both built like rakes. I piled weight on before childbirth and now am stuck as the chubby sister. I dont mind so much though but I would like to get rid of my spare tyre. I've just started C25K.

MissWimpyDimple · 10/03/2018 21:21

Yes.

My DB is really not very good looking, but he has been married for many many years whereas I'm terminally single and lurch from disaster to disaster.

Both my cousins are more attractive than I am though. At least, I think they are!

Zoflorabore · 10/03/2018 21:26

Eldest of 3, have two brothers!

We all look so alike, pale skin, very blue eyes and dark hair.
The older of my brothers is 6ft 6, youngest is 6ft. I'm 5ft 5

I actually think at 40 I'm better looking than when I was 20. I think I've grew into my skin!

I love being the only girl but am much closer to my dad than my mum.

Notsooriginalwerther · 10/03/2018 21:44

Im in the middle, my older sister IMO is far prettier than I am, she has a smaller forehead, straight nose and little rosebud lips with dark hair that lightens at the mid lengths and ends, she’s about a dress size bigger than I am but I think she’s beautiful with or without make up whereas I am the ‘glamourous’ one, long blonde hair, lots of make up but without it all I look like Casper with a lovely hereditary bump in my nose -_- our younger brother is literally gorgeous. Gorgeous man. Big blue eyes, stubble, in great shape, tall with sandy blonde hair. Every friend of mine wants to know if he’s single etc. He’s only two years younger than I am but none of my single female friends are allowed anywhere near him. Ever. My mum is the beautiful one and both my siblings look very similar to her whereas I do sort of look like my dad in a wig

DeathByMascara · 10/03/2018 21:52

Both my brothers are really handsome guys, both lovely too.

I’m sure I’d be attractive if I wasn’t buried in several layers of fat.

Still, my children are beautiful (not biased, plenty of people seek me out to say how gorgeous they are). So I suppose the good genes are in there somewhere!

I’d like to feel good about myself sometimes.

entropynow · 10/03/2018 22:13

Nope. I'm The Clever One. Thank goodness, it lasts a hell of a lot longer.

Forevertired19 · 10/03/2018 22:17

My brother took his life a few years ago but I definitely think he was the better looking sibling.

BonnieF · 10/03/2018 22:34

No.

My brother got the looks, I got the brains (I was the first person in my extended family to go to university.) Which is fine by me.
