What's it like to be attractive?

lulz you are good hippie

 

you wouldn know how i smell

 

Hell, i never see myself as that much attractive. Not that i have a self esteem issue. But i had recently got with someone that i love. Then out of the wood work came these crazy bitches in my life. One of them was SMOKIN HOTTT too. Though i was already with someone, i did not accept. Because of it would not have been a long term thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just what do your eyes see though. Plus our primitive part of our brain kind of chooses what kind of people we will be with. Aside from social influences.

 

Just showing my age.

 

I've never thought of myself as beautiful, but I'm not ugly either, at this point in my life I'd call myself cute.

 

I really appreciate Zilla's posts. I feel it takes a lot of personal strength to own up to the stuff she told us here.

 

I was pretty gross looking in 9th and 10th grade. I was overweight and didn't take pride in looking like a girl.
Then, I decided to buckle down and loose some weight because I was quite unhealthy. I grew my hair out, dyed it a sexy sable color, and put on some girly jeans. Since then, I've gotten quite a bit of attention. I get told I'm pretty and the like. I don't get invited into clubs, or any of that stuff, but I don't put myself in those situations. I've gotten free stuff before. I rarely pay for my iced coffee at the local coffee place.

So, I didn't hit the lottery....I hit the drug store!

 

You're gorgeous.

 

I just want to shed some light and be honest. Thanks Tiago :grouphug:

 

You're awesome, Laura. My respect for you just went up a couple notches. :cheers2:

 

I'm going through a lot of self-examination and realization. I don't want to feel guilty for being who I am. When you're feel guilty about being yourself, you're not really being yourself. That's why there's guilt..

You have posted threads in the same fashion, really bared yourself to the forums. I really appreciate that, because it's so real. It leads to honesty with oneself. Sometimes it takes being honest with others first. And I like to think it does help people in one way or another. No one here is perfect, and a lot of what we go through individually is more alike to what others are going through than we care to admit.

haha

:cheers2:

 

I am pretty sure only my mother thinks I am handsome. But eh... I don't really mind.
I don't scare people away so I am content.

 

I owe you a hug.

 

some day... some day

 

I would assume it is nice in general. But every new solution brings a new set of problems...
Also, I believe far too many people spend far too much time (their whole lives) worrying about vanity. Anyone else agree?

 

I knew your name was Thiago! You kinda look like my boy Thiago Alves.

 

Some people find me really attractive...
and most of the time the way those people treat me creeps me out.

Being judged and treated a certain way based only on how you look can be shitty , regardless of if it is because they think you are attractive .

..but it can also be nice.- and I am just self loathing enough to still consider it somehow flattering when even the ugliest toothless local hillbilly hits on me.
-though they usually follow it with treating me like as though I am really naive and helpless.

 

Sadie, is this thread an attempt at fake modesty or what?

 

I think you're gorgeous, but what the hell do I know?

 

I didn't bother to read this thread, was it an epic fail? or worth while?

I hate the 'what's it like to be attractive' question.. because even those who are usually told that they are beautiful, feel 'not good enough' deep down. and beautiful is so subjective so it's just like ugh. what a waste of a thread.
