How do you know how attractive you are?

Well I've been called good-looking a small handful of times, one person has said I look like a model, nobody has called me ugly. Most people are just neutral though. Isn't it harder for guys anyway, because we don't get the privilege of getting 'approached' as much as girls? Nevertheless, you shouldn't expect to be 'approached' just because you're a girl. That's the kind of thing I hate.

Try to avoid mirrors and ****, 'cause they reverse your face. Webcams are supposed to show you what you really look like. I've read they're quite accurate.

Do they?

LMAO. But being serious for a min, if you're getting attention from alot of guys/girls it's USUALLY a giveaway... other than that the usual stuff...facebook pic likes, complements etc... just do yo thang anyways!

For a woman, knowing if you're attractive or not is incredibly simple. Walk down the street, dressed decently (nothing revealing, as already said), some make-up at least, and see how much attention you get. A lot? You're stunning. A little? You're average.

For a guy, women don't assess guys as guys do women (or they're better at hiding their sly glances :wink:

), so it can be harder to gauge. Me personally, I would say I'm good looking in the average sense. I dress differently (not absurdly, attention seeking different), whilst keeping my own style. So, in that sense, I'm probably more attractive amongst the more average men. I'd be blowing smoke up my own arse if I were to say I was 8, 9/10 potential model material.

Oh, and people often overestimate their own attraction. I realise it's entirely subject-- different strokes for different folks and all that, though their is obviously a base level of attraction; something that would appeal to the vast majority of others on at least some level.

Can you really know?! Everyone finds different things attractive and also as others have said attention isn't always the best indicator. I know the kind of guys I find really attractive are of a type, I know people that agree with me but plenty that don't. All subjective, if your happy with yourself don't worry about it.

Unless a girl looks like Tori Black, she is a disgrace and a waste of space.

If you're not sure whether you're attractive or not that usually means you're in the average range, some people might find you gorgeous but most probably find you average. When you're one of those people thats a 10 or close to it you will ALWAYS know even if you dont actually find yourself that attractive. You can get the opposite though where there is someone who is really unattractive yet they have a higher opinion of themselves than others.

It has little to do with how attractive you are, and more about how CONFIDENT you are. You can be the most beautiful person in the world, but if you yourself don't think so, then the guy will pick up on that right away.

What is NOT attractive is worrying about attractiveness.

To be honest I have no idea if I'm attractive or hideous.

I think of myself as the latter but who knows really.

Why do girls who have been told numerous times they're good looking, still think they're unattractive and need more validation that they are?? I find this SO annoying!!!
