To ask when the last time you feel attractive was?

[Lockeddownagain]

I've realised that the last time I felt attractive was in 2006
I wondered if others feel like that too

Majority connecting this to how they look. It really isn't about that as the question was when you felt attractive. Feeling attractive is so many more things. Someone being attracted to you makes you feel attractive, whatever you look like. Even if they are in a very very small minority, as is my case, if they find you attractive then you feel attractive.

And best never to ask why someone finds you attractive. Leave that between them and your obviously great attractiveness. You don't need to know you look like their primary school teacher or have the same hair as the girl who served them in a shop in Greece, just accept you have what they like.

Under 25 and I can honestly say never. I don’t feel too sad about it, it’s just a matter of fact..I have other qualities. Maybe I will age like a fine wine

Not for at least ten years or so.
Honestly though, I haven't tried to be attractive for that long, so that explains it.

Last month. Caught Covid and now look horrendously tired and rough, but generally speaking I feel attractive nearly every day.

Can't remember...and haven't had much time to think about it for the last few years. Tbh I feel rubbish about myself and my life most of the time regardless of looks.

Hoping to make some positive changes in 2022.

Most of the time tbh. I look after myself (exercise a lot, eat well etc) and I generally like what I see in the mirror.

This hasn’t always been the case btw. For me, confidence has come with age and experience.

I have never felt attractive.

This afternoon and this past weekend, for the first time in a year. Have an eight month old, and still carrying the pregnancy weight, but I bought some new clothes on the weekend, and got my hair blow dried a couple of times this week, and I finally felt like me again.

It had been quite a while until last week and then tonight. Though I have never really felt particularly attractive, I have managed to kiss more than one frog so I can't be totally hideous.

Last week was having a coffee with my mum, dressed very much in my comfy stuff when the tall dark handsome Italian barista sliped me his number while dm had gone to the toilet. I didn't give him mine but it was a nice little ego boost.

Tonight was supposed to be going out with friends but they cancelled. I went out anyway because I thought fuck it, I'll have a wander round, have a drink and go home.

Met a lovely bunch of people who I started drinking with and left with no doubt that I could have pulled. Another handsome man was very keen to dance/kiss. We had a good dance but I didn't kiss him much to his dissapointment

Not been in such a situation for about ten years and I have to say it feels pretty good.

I'm quite happily in a long term relationship with dp and a dc but it's nice to know i still have it, even if I don't feel that way 99% of the time

Everyday since I met my dh because he tells me how gorgeous I am.
Over 45 years now.
I’m very lucky.

went out recently, thought I looked decent - 2.5 stone weight loss after babies etc, hair colour done and my friend being the photo person took a selfie type shot of the 2 of us. Mother of fuck, it was beyond horrific. I have decided now I can't stop time but that is the last photo of me I will ever willingly be in I am 46 fwiw.

I feel attractive any time I look in the bathroom mirror with only the mirror light on. Tiny window in the bathroom, and the overall effect of this just softens my skin and makes me look peachy. The effect disappears if I turn the overhead on. So I never do.

Most of the time when I look in the mirror I feel attractive. But I realise I am probably not really because I'm in my 60s. Felt a little bit noticed today when a much younger colleague complemented me on my hair.. It was nice.

2016. I've just had a baby and I was over weight to start with but I'm 1.5 stone over pre pregnancy weight, my roots are grey and my eyebrows have needed re microbladed since march 2020, I'm definitely not looking my best but inside I'm the happiest I've ever been and I've always been someone who has struggled with vanity (not thinking I'm gorgeous, quite the opposite, overly critical about how I look and low self esteem) and it really spoiled a lot of my younger years.

I feel attractive most of the time really. I suffer with confidence issues in other parts of my life. I was always told I was pretty growing up Value was placed on looks unfortunately. It has left me feeling under confident in many different areas of my life though, despite achievements academically.

I’m 44 and think I look good for my age. I’ve taken good care of myself since my divorce, it am increasingly aware of time and how finite life is. So, I maintain what I have.

One day last week. I'd been eating well and drinking a lot of water. My makeup looked nice and I've been using a new shampoo that has worked wonders on my hair!

Most days but it's all fake. I make sure I put my face on, hair done and clothing to suit my figure. Had youngest 4 weeks ago and mum to 5. Had a rough upbringing and early 20's which I feel wasn't even me - I'm 39 now but often get told I look younger than my husband age 33. I don't have any confidence whatsoever, self esteem rock bottom and severe anxiety however once I've put my makeup on and a smile nobody would tell the pain behind my eyes. Probably spent the past 4 weeks crying over various things so thought I would join this to speak because I don't speak to anyone really, people judge a book by its cover but I'm the most down to earth person ever, wear my heart on my sleeve and always put everyone else before myself which is what I've been put on the earth to do.
I do believe everyone is beautiful inside in their own way and if more of us had the right kind of confidence/self esteem and kindness about us the world would be a better place!

Thank you @EssexLioness I need to do something that sticks

About 6 hours ago. The stopped feeling attractive when the man I am dating preferred to go home alone than come back with me.

Every day. I'm 46 and clearly I don't look the same as when I was 21, but I feel attractive enough just as I am, and I don't need any reaction from aman to confirm it.

Yes I feel attractive most days, as long as I have a bit of makeup on, my hair is decent and I’m wearing clothes I feel good in.

I’m not a beauty queen, but people see me and smile at me and that makes me feel good.

This thread is kind of comforting - it's not just me! I haven't felt attractive since hitting perimeno, and especially since Covid hit. I am chronically overworked, drained, lacking in energy and 'spark'. No libido to speak of. I'm just not enjoying life, and feel dull and hollowed out - I think that's more important than the state of my hair or waistline.

Thanks for everyones replies
It was so interesting especially the ones that said they feel attractive because a man said they are . I'm wondering if anyone feels it without validation
