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?

I've just wasted spent most of the morning having a real nosy at peoples profile pics. Great Fun

clandestineregular · 17/09/2007 14:54

Interesting thread. I feel the same way as your neighbour. I actually don't like how I look but I'm told I'm gorgeous.

clandestineregular · 17/09/2007 14:55

And I would say it has helped me get what I want although it makes some people think I'm stuck up

hecciesmum · 17/09/2007 15:14

what great fun looking at everyone's pics.

Everyone i have looked at seems fairly gorgeous!

Mary Ann - your ds is going to break hearts in a few years......

Thanks for the compliment mamazon!You are pretty good yourself like catherine zeta jones with bells on!I have loved this thread we are all too hard on ourselves though which seems a shame.Having read all of these can't decide whether to sort myself out or let myself go

I've been told I'm beautiful by people years ago, lately it's just dh that tells me though I don't think I am at all though, I look in the mirror and I see fat and crap looking. Rarely do I think I atually look nice. I'm quite small so having put on a couple of pounds after having ds2 (I can't believe I put weight on after he was born and not before! Annoying!) it shows on me a lot more and makes me feel really self conscious. Sigh, I've never really been happy with the way I look though.

pointydog · 17/09/2007 15:25

to op

nah, but personality goes a long way

whomovedmychocolate · 17/09/2007 15:28

I'm bloody gorgeous so there! I'm getting better and better like a fine vintage wine. Providing I avoid being corked I shall be a gorgeous ninety year old

Charlee · 17/09/2007 15:38

No - im not attractive, i have always been the chubby short one with the boobs i do have nice skin though.

I have a piccy of me on my profile, it's 2 yrs old when i was 18 i still look the same though.

IntergalacticWalrus · 17/09/2007 15:41

RnB

I wish I loked like you

Charlee · 17/09/2007 15:42

Yes RnB you are a total babe! I am very

Tinker · 17/09/2007 15:43

Oh, RnB you are so familiar. And gorgeous.

TLV · 17/09/2007 15:44

my saying is "I'm uglier than most but prettier than some" however I feel better about my looks in my thirties which is probably all to do with confidence and accepting me for me and to me its mostly the personality that makes the person attractive

lou33 · 17/09/2007 15:56

cd i can finally rest in peace now i know what you look like

blubbing - thats sweet

crossma · 17/09/2007 15:58

In my head I'm pretty and slim then occassional I catch sight of my reflection and remember I'm overweight and not at all attractive.

harpsichordcarrier · 17/09/2007 16:00

beautiful - no
pretty - no
but attractive - yes because attractive includes a lot more than physical beauty, regular features etc doesn't it?

MABS · 17/09/2007 16:28

i will vouch for the fact that RnB, Noddy and Mamazon are all gorgeous from first hand knowledge (bitches )

pyjamaqueen · 17/09/2007 16:35

I think I used to be attractive - but now I am just old, frumpy and miserable.

fawkeoff · 17/09/2007 16:36

i dont think im attractive one bit to tell everyone the truth

Squiffy · 17/09/2007 16:41

As the bastard love-child of Peter Kay and Ann Widdecombe, born when the good god of beauty had nipped out for a pee, I do of course consider myself to be effortlessly enigmatic in both looks and inner beauty.

My name is ozymandias, queen of queens, look upon my norks and despair.

3sEnough · 17/09/2007 16:41

Nice bod then look at photos of myself recently and am sincerely disappointed!! I didn't used to look like that.

AufishFeQueen · 17/09/2007 16:51

No I don't think I am attractive, though plenty of people tell me I am. When I was younger I was often told that I was the image of Marilyn Monroe, but never believed it. Then at the age of 16 I developed a eating disorder and it's only been in the last 4 years that I have kept to eating properly. I am now 32 years old, am a size 10 and have no wrinkles as yet!
