Here's me:

I'm on the left. I would say that this is the best picture of me.

Take that as you will.

I'm unqualified to comment (hetero male), but that never stopped me before, so:

No obvious deformities there. Have you got pierced lips with jewels in them or were you just holding something in your mouth?

That camera lens was a tad too wide-angled for a good portrait shot, so it's distorted your face slightly. And the lighting has whited out your nose. And I can't see your eye colour.

Good head of hair. I'd work on the facial expression though. A good smile can work wonders.

The beard upsets the whole notion of being globally attractive though. Some love beards, but others complain of sensory issues when kissing. I think most of it is horses for courses.

I'm probably just weird, but to me people in baseball caps look like ducks. And it's covering a lot of your head. Beyond that you look perfectly normal. When you're my age you'll wish you still looked so hot.

I wear hats for whatever reason, usually as I get headaches in strong light, and I think there it was Summer.

Thanks, and I worry about getting worse looking as I get older!

My dad is good looking for his age, and I sort of look like him.

mds_02 and Zinnel look like cousins! XD

Very sensible.......your skin will not age so fast if you keep the UV exposure down (though UV is great for killing zits). I quite like those Panama hats and gangster hats, but I don't wear them much because if I did attract any female interest that way, I'd be scared to remove it and reveal my shiny bald head. Better to let them know what they're letting themselves in for from the start.

Right, a bisexual male's perspective here:

Right, you've got a kind of "Gordon Freeman" look happening with the facial hair and hairstyle, gives ya a kind of "mature, intelligent" appeal. However, imo the lip piercings kind of clash with this, bringing in a kind of "punk/rocker/goth" type element that doesn't quite fit. Try shaving the rest of your face so that you've just got the goatee, the bits along the cheeks and side make you seem a bit scraggly.

The glasses seem to suit you, and help accentuate the intellectual look, imo.

The hair is a bit on the wild side. Try styling it a bit better, it's quite poofy. The actual hairstyle seems fine, it just looks like you forgot to give it some loving with a brush before you look the picture!

Overall, I'd say you are a pretty decent-looking guy.

Unfortunately I don't seem to have quite as much to detail here as the other guy. By and large, you seem to be a good-looking guy as well. Nothing about your aesthetic seems to be worthy of comment, though, except for a generalized "Looks pretty good overall, really". It would be good to see a pic without the hat on, though, so I can have a look at the hair.

Overall? Decent looking, but possibly leaning toward the "Hey not bad!" side of things. I think having a bit of a nice facial expression happening there is helping your case. You seem smug, but also laid back.

I guess, but I don't wear hats in the house usually.

I am okay with being called average, I...erm...don't have many pictures me without a hat these days, if I shown you one without, it'd be going back to 2006 territory in which I have changed since then.

My hair is currently short and slightly wavy, but I grow curls when it grows longish.

I would rate you maybe 6.5/10, and the previous guy 6/10, if I had to put numbers to it.

You definitely have got a similar face to Ryan Gosling.

Best compliment I have ever had!

I have had Jack Osborne (as he is without a beard), Gok Wan and Will Young but never that guy! :D

As for the 6.5, I am very happy with that.

I would say the user above is very attractive coming from a straight guy.

Hate to rain on the parade but I think it's the one on the right that looks like Ryan Gosling.

Bear in mind, that on my scaling, 5/10 is average, NOT 7/10 like most people seem to use. 6.5 would mean you're 1.5 points better off than your TYPICAL-LOOKING DUDE.

I'm just scared I'll be recognised and all the hitherto anonymous weird people I've talked about here will be identified. Luckily I don't derive my self-esteem from my idea of my global sexual capital. it's more the other way round, if I like myself I feel attractive. I only had my haircut because the weather's finally got hot. Looked like Worzel Gummidge before that. Didn't stop a lady at work I'd been grinning at from inviting me to the beer hour. But she probably just wanted to keep the crows off the beer.
