Do you think you are attractive?

[noddyholder]

I ahev just moved and met the only neighbour i think who isn't about 100!She is about 35 boden-y with kids and seemsnice but we were chatting about annie lennox as she had a paper with her picture on it and she was saying how it is harder for women who are attractive to accept aging and she was dreading it as she had spent her life getting what she wanted because of her looks!I was speechless for once and said little back but i would never say that although I am not what I was at 42 I was ok in my youth but it just shocked me So come on do you think you're gorge and has it helped or hindered you?

botox at 32???

I think I am silly-looking but I seem to have a certain je ne sais quoi...

Wouldn't really say, oh yes, I'm absolutely gorge. However wouldn't want to point out that I'm a right munter, dh obviously thinks I'm ok and I wouldn't point out to him my obvious faults. Just in case, the scales fell from his eyes, iyswim.
I'm happy enough with myself, I look ok! Well some days at any rate.

A few people say I look like her
so that will be a No then

Ahem, that's way better than being compared to Cindi fecking lauper!

Yes thank you

I am not pretty

I have a bumpy broken nose

And saggy humungous norks

But I am confident, socially and sexually, and I suppose what might be considered "quirkly attractive".

However, I have a new boyfriend so am probably full of beans & ego at the moment. Ask me again in 6 months & I might feel completely different!

Sorry for blatant trumpet blowing

You trumpet away, my lovely!

BOTOX at THIRTY TWO? Just thought I'd repeat that, what ARE you on?

No wonder your GP said bollocks.

I've never thought of myself as attractive, but my DH think's I'm gorgeous (bless his socks). I always used to want to be the one men gawped at, but now that I'm older I think back on my life and realise that although I'm no head turner, I'm no moose either, and actually I did have attention - I just sort of blanked it out because I was too scared to know how to handle it.

Now I've had one baby I have big norks and a big tum, no money to do my hair with, and crappy clothes which neither fit nor flatter. Don't care so much about getting attention, though.

What an interesting thread.

Thank ranting

Toot Toot!

And may I just echo WWW: Botox at 32? WTF? Have you spent all your life on a sunbed while chain smoking & shooting up smack?

i think im a minger. i look like a man in drag.

and i honestly feel that i could have had an easoer time ifi had been petite and pretty.
and Noddy you are still lovely

lol at sunbed/fags/smack combo

mamazon, my long lost twin sister......

No, I think sometimes I look vaguely reasonable, and other times absolute rubbish!

No I am not attractive in the slightest, I think I am actually very ugly but I am aware that I have a sexual allure.

My ugliness has held me back - not careerwise- but socially as sometimes I am too enbaressed to go out, I also spend a fortune on grooming, clothes etc. I think my ugliness has fed my depression as well.

My mum however was beautiful, as was my grandma - I am the sole ugly ducking of the family - and they have all struggled with growing old and becoming invisible.

Peachy I cry at those, I have never felt pretty and can't imagine what it must be like to not be ashamed of your appearance.

I truly don't ever reflect upon this because I honestly don't think it matters one way or another (you don't believe me do you?)

Well, I'm afraid I (was) one of the pretty girls ... a babe. I'm 42 now, and I still look OK .. considering ... but once a woman reaches 40, unless she has raw sexual allure, men don't tend to notice you so much.

But that's fine with me, because the older I get, the less I want to be noticed. I've got a lovely man at home, and I find sexual advances unappealing nowadays.

As I begin to gently lose my looks, I find that my sense of humour increases. I want to be one of the boys (always did), so it's quite good to be the rather faded pretty bird who can talk a good game of rugby.
