Whenever someone shares a photo, even a partial one, it’s obvious they are stunning! Is it just me who isn’t!?

Hahahaha 😂
nope. I’d love to post a photo of my non glamourous self for you all today in my jogging bottoms and sweatshirt (wfh life) but I like my anonymity so I won’t. But basically I look like a scruffy troll!

tescocreditcard · 23/11/2023 12:38

I'm really gorgeous. And I look 15 years younger than I actually am.

Crikeyalmighty · 23/11/2023 12:40

I'm 61 and def not gorgeous at 5ft 4 and 13stone 12. I would say though I look quite good for 61 - with the caveat- when dressed and made up!!

Yes, I could be a supermodel if I wanted to. People stop in the street at gasp as I walk by.

CesareBorgia · 23/11/2023 12:42

No, just about the opposite in my case. For obvious reasons, those of us on the wrong side of average are probably less inclined to post photos of ourselves online!

I love this!

ancestry.com test I did basically told me I was a direct descendant of Helen of Troy only hotter.

gwenneh · 23/11/2023 12:44

Nope. I realised this week that I am starting to look increasingly like Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove. Gorgeous, I am not.

PoisonMaple · 23/11/2023 12:44

Yes, yes, I am.

Utterly gorgeous!

usernother · 23/11/2023 12:46

I'm not. Passable on a good day but not gorgeous.

Sunbird24 · 23/11/2023 12:47

I don’t think I’m bad looking, but men don’t seem to agree with me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dweetfidilove · 23/11/2023 12:49

I am!

My parents, occasional lover, friends and family tell me I am; and I’m not about to start arguing with any of them about it 😊.

I am 42, overweight and until last week had a line on my forehead but no-one can tell me shit about shit - I am gorgeous all day, everyday 🥰.

Justcallmebebes · 23/11/2023 12:49

I used to be, but now I'm just old and haggard Sad

I'm fairly attractive, but was much more attractive in my 20s and 30s (and early 40s.) Blonde wavy hair, quite large boobs, nice legs, full lips, large eyes, decent teeth, good skin. (I am 50-ish now!)

I am always shocked to hear so many mumsnetters say they are ugly, trolls, minging, fat pigs and so on. In real life I see very few women who fit this description, so I don't believe y'all! 😁 I think you're all a lot nicer/ prettier/ more attractive than you think. Please don't call yourself ugly and unappealing. You're all gorgeous. Really! Flowers

I would never post a photo on here though, and am baffled when people do. I prefer to remain anonymous, and even a photo of part of my face could identify me.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 23/11/2023 12:50

My face was rearranged and I’m a chubber.

So no!

I have been described as ‘striking’.
Also ‘interesting’. Neither, I suspect, were meant in the good way!

You’d no more get me posting a photo of my coupon on here than you would see me posting a close up of my lulu.

MadameCamembert · 23/11/2023 12:54

Nope. I’m overweight with eyes like pandas. It’s probably just that those of us who have hit a branch or two on the bland tree wouldn’t necessarily share pictures.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/11/2023 12:54

Mirror says.....NO Grin

ScottChegg · 23/11/2023 12:55

Well I'm not. I'm plain, I look my age and my hair is fucking MENTAL. It wasn't thick before but since my surgical menopause earlier this year it is thinner. It is so frizzy now that if the slightest puff of air disturbs it, it flies away from my head and just STAYS THERE. I mean, even the slight breeze produced from the act of sitting down makes it fly away from my head and stick out at all sorts of angles.

I once went out to the freezer in a moderate wind and when I came back my poor husband stared at me in shock and eventually said, "What happened?!" My reply. "Nothing!"

Fulshaw · 23/11/2023 12:58

I am. People often say admiringly that I look like Samantha Brick.

FloatingLog · 23/11/2023 12:58

No of course not but we are all size 8 with a DH who has an outing hobby and a 6 figure salary which is basically pocket change in London.

The serious answer is not everyone who has ever posted their photo on here was typically attractive but women do this thing (and I say women because that's my experience on and offline) where they go OTT in complimenting stereotypically ubnattractive women by western society standards but the moment it's a woman who is much prettier than them by society standard you see the trolling and 'fishing for compliments' comments. Reality is, youth and looks are currencies for both sexes but more so for women much as I loathe this it's a fact and when she is prettier, she also has better and more opportunities in love, at work and money. It's unfair, attractive vs 'ugly' people live in a parallel universe.

funbags3 · 23/11/2023 13:01

For Health & safety reasons, I'd never share a pic of myself.
I'm way too hot.

JL690 · 23/11/2023 13:02

I am and I can prove it.
Brad Pitt wanted to know if he was the most handsome man in the world so he stood in front of the mirror of truth and asked it "am I the most handsome man in the world?" it replied "Yes, you are" So he told Angelina Jolie and she rushed to the mirror and returned distraught. She asked Brad " Who the hell is JL690?"
