How do you know you're attractive?

[Anonymous]

I got better looking as I got older. Now people stop me in the street and tell me, little children tell me. This would never have happened to me in my 20s. I was a stereotypical late blooming nerd.

I am glad I wasn’t really good looking as a young person. I have achieved a lot in life not based on my looks so it has never defined me. It would be a hard thing to lose if it had defined me.

i'm a guy here is how it goes

super hot (9-10s) - everyone and their brother knows they are hot. they don't need to second guess anything about their looks

attractive (7-8s) - will get compliments on a regular basis, asked out very often, lot of boys chasing them. the 7s and 8s get the most attention from most guys. Because they are hot but not unattainable hot like the 9s and 10s , so all you girls who think you are super hot just because you are getting a ton of attention doesn't make you drop dead beautiful. it makes you .... uhm .. above average not much more

f'ckable (average) is 5s- 6s. you will still get plenty of guys interested because let's be honest. most people are average and half are below average. depending on your other traits you might be marriage material or FWB material. but girls in this category are the ones who keep hoping for the prince charming thinking that because they get some attention they are a 7 or 8 even though they are clearly not. women in this category also get pumped and dumped a lot but not quite as much as the next category.

finally ok if you are drunk (3s, 4s) .. name says it all. most guys are not interested but will still bang you if they are drunk enough. so you will get attention but mostly at bars, clubs and from horny desperate guys

Hate to admit it but this guy is about right. You can tell by how people react to you.

I have friend who is a 9-10 and modeled. It is fascinating to be with her and see how people react to her - literally men fall over themselves to talk to her and women flock to her. She also has the personality to work it. I truly believe she gets whatever she wants. And also she's a nice person.

My 20 year old daughter is quite attractive ( an 8) and people have commented on her looks since she was a toddler. She's stunning but doesn't have an attitude about it. She's used to people kind of gawking at her.

I'm a 6, but now that I'm over 50 I might be 7 for my age group because everyone else has let themselves go. Haha!

I know because I have eyes and a mirror.

I was an average looking 20 year old, but I’ve maintained well and other people haven’t so I’m moving up in my age division.

What category are the women who get lots of stares and people act weird around them but they rarely if ever get asked out

Better looking with age describes me as well. I was ugly as a kid. Kinda awkward looking in my 30s and for some reason got really pretty in my 30s . I was shocked to actually have guys check me out and talk to me. It's been kinda weird actually

If I can still feel the male gaze when I enter a room, then I know I'm still looking good. The pandemic made this test impossible. I rarely went out even before the pandemic, but it is flattering when it happens.

People tell you at work you are pretty?

I work as a corporate trainer. I'm one of three female instructors at the time and one of the male instructors left and we were hiring a new one. I recommended a former coworker to my boss for the instructor position and she point blank asked me if they were pretty because she only hires female instructors that are pretty.

Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of guy responses - so I’ll throw in my response. I’m 50, 6’2”, in good shape and get told I look Eric Bana or Pedro Pascal at least monthly. I went to the hardware store a few days ago and one of the employees said “Eric Bana! What can I help you with?” Also, my wife tells me I’m good looking regularly and random women will occasionally look, flirt and accidentally run their hands across my chest and shoulders if I’m out at a bar.

The funny thing is, in my early years of college it’s like I was completely invisible to women and always assumed I wasn’t attractive. I guess some people look better older than younger.

Same! I was super awkward/gawky as a kid. Kind of the classic ugly duckling thing.

I think this happens to a lot of women who have really boyish figures. We don’t get attention when we are younger unless we have very beautiful faces and/or lots of confidence (I had neither). But the girls who develop early and tend to get a lot of male attention in HS/college/20s dating scene are also more likely to put on weight in their 30s, especially if they have kids. I got more attractive to men by virtue if just staying slim (it’s genetic) while many of my previously prettier peers gained weight.

I also had bad acne in my late teens and into my 20s that went away in my 30s, and I started dressing better and investing money in my hair in my 30s because I had steady income.

I definitely think I was bottom third in my teens/early 20s, and now in my 40s I’m top third. Life is weird.

You’re told by people who aren’t relatives. Good looking and otherwise desirable men ask you out.

Actual answer: For me I am never that interested in male compliments as they may be lying to get into my pants. The most sincere compliments have been when young girls want to look like me or hope to turn into me when they grow up.

Nah- Plenty of guys told me I was beautiful. I never believed them as they probably say it to everyone as a pick up line.

When I walk into a room I get the jealous looks from other woman and the jaw drop from men.
