Great looking?
Once after 30 year class reunion of me I was a while talking to a guy afterwards. But there was a lot of beer before and we need to pee. We went to a little club nearby and were a little bit overdressed there. We were talking about what women care before and I wen't in like I would own the club and looked a bit questioning towards the girls on the side and went peeing. Afterwards I was waiting for my friend in front of the exit looking outside. Suddenly a girl from behind was brushing against me unexpected hard what caused her to fall just in front of my feets. She gave me a quite playful smile from there. That was a very unexpected. I hadn't notice her before and may be she was afraid I would be leaving without even realizing her. She was not even twenty and quite pretty but I was 48 and married. But I guess she would have been the better choice over my wife.

It’s all very subjective. I view myself as attractive despite the fact I’m not 140 pounds or skinnier. Some people find me unattractive. Attraction isn’t all about weight. You can be 140 pounds or skinnier, like most people want me to be and still have undesirable traits. You can be heavier and have desirable traits.
Confidence is attractive as long as you care what you look like (well put together outfits, styled hair and my favorite...covering up any scars on your face with makeup).

Confidence is attractive as long as you care what you look like (well put together outfits, styled hair and my favorite...covering up any scars on your face with makeup).
Not always, personally I like my scar (however, I don't wear makeup anyway. Although I have considered it, but I tend to find it scratchy and I'm allergic to certain types of makeup). I know that it often makes others inquisitive because they wonder how I got it. However, it's fairly faint but it becomes a lot more noticeable when I have a tan or if the light hits my face in a way that a shadow draws attention to it. My scar looks a bit like a diamond or a rhombus depending on the angle of view.
I sometimes wear geometrical shapes to complement this. When I was in school, I even very briefly became popular because people wanted to know the story. Apparently it can give others the impression of a hidden resilience. Chances are, if you're close enough to me to notice my faint facial scar you're probably already interested.
Lately, I've been putting more effort into my outfits. The general aesthetic that I go for is gentle imagery combined with harsher elements. So, I might wear a flowery top with a faux leather jacket. I often play to the gentle but resilient image some people have of me.
As a fairly tall woman, I have a tendency to slouch but I am often viewed as more attractive when I have proper posture. Carrying yourself with confidence and wearing a put together outfit can certainly help. I tend to get criticised for being too skinny (I'm usually at a healthy weight though). My body is lanky, I'm 5'8.
When it comes to photography, if you have dark hair then you should probably go with a lighter backdrop, and if you have lighter hair than a dark backdrop would better compliment this. I have dark strawberry blonde hair, so I prefer to take photos next to dark backgrounds with front lighting. Especially since with my pale skin I tend to look drained when standing next to a white or cream background. Smiling whilst showing teeth is practically impossible if it's not genuine, so I prefer to go with a closed mouth smile. It's usually good to draw attention to the eyes in portrait photography.

Guess that not as unusual and shouldn't cause you any problems at all.
Depends. Suppressing a smile for not showing is can make your face an ugly grimace. It's better to relate to fun and to let you face do the rest fore a natural look. Towards cameras counts the same as towards people because their objective is the eye of the one who watches the photo later. Once you are hating or disliking a cam then it's revenge will be to make you looking ugly and hateful looking towards the one who watches the photos later because you mood and emotions express in your face and the one who watches the pictures thinks you are feeling negative towards him just because of his empathy.
There is a noticable scar in your face? Guess most people ignore this except it's makes you looking scary.

BTW,
You look quite young in your avatar.
Not a recent shot, I gather?

It's from 24 May 2020. Nearly a month ago. May be my hairs did grow a centimeter since then. I'm 52.
When you were younger.
Rather nice to the bone. Except others did insist to mess around with me ...

@quite an extreme
It's not that noticeable, you'd probably only notice it at first glance if you were quite observant or physically close to me. Many don't, and only notice it later on. It's not particularly striking or scary. Especially with my dimples and freckled face. I'm not always taken seriously when angry, so I usually keep a level but assertive tone and lean in slightly when I want people to take me seriously.
To clarify, I wasn't talking about suppressing a smile. I was talking about when I'm feeling fine, but not gleeful enough to naturally smile whilst showing teeth; that forcing such a smile when you're not feeling it tends to backfire and in those situations you're probably better off with just a polite closed mouth smile.
My height usually isn't an issue, often the women that I tend to be interested in are only slightly shorter than me. I wouldn't be opposed to dating someone shorter than that though, or even taller than me but the prior tends to be more common. My point was about maintaining good posture (something I should do more often).

Then it's not worth to worry about or even to care - except may be the related story was a really interesting one.
That's totally right. A dishonest smile isn't great and many people are realizing it just as this.
Slowly I get an idea of you. Quite young, 5'8, lanky, English, blond, a slight scar and frackles in the face, incredibly nice and a bit shy, really cute and mostly into girls. Hey need a boyfriend? We may look for another common girlfriend afterwards. Don't know what you are caring about girls but my hair is already a centimeter longer now then it was in my avatar and my girly lady beard is really quite nice. Just PM me and say 'yes'. The biggest problem could be that I'm not living just around the corner of course. But I guess I should visit England at least once in my life and get the best of it then. (I did just realize that I need to improve at flirting with the right ones. )

I like to joke that it hit me like a brick wall since a brick wall was involved in the accident.
I'm flattered but I am a lesbian. Best of luck to you though.

I'm old, ugly, but also a "Girlie Man".
Interested?

Wouldn’t have been easier if you posted a pic of yourself instead of all this self description essay?
I probably should've just shortened it down into bullet points and taken out the less relevant information. Apologies, Jamesy for taking this thread astray a little. Let's return to the main subject.
