When I was little I was called 'cute' by the adults and for some reason the other kids called me 'ugly'.I really didn't know who to believe.

When I hit twelve people started flirting with me.I am now considered 'hot" "pretty" gorgous" all that embarressing junk.It made me feel a LITTLE good but somehow it kind of made me feel weird,too.I mean,I don't think I'm ugly,sometimes I think that I'm KINDA pretty when I'm in a good mood, but I don't think I'm drop-dead gorgous or anything.

How do people describe YOUR appearance?Do you agree with them?

I get these:

So cute!
You're beautiful.
Isn't she beautiful? (...said to someone else when I was right there)
You have such a cute little body.
Nice legs.
Hot.
Damn.

I hardly ever get called "pretty" (other than from my mom). I'm not that gorgeous. I don't try to make myself look especially different...my makeup, hair, and clothes aren't anything special. I don't look like anyone, including the other women my age. I don't have the typical "look" that the other girls have. A male friend of mine told me once that guys are very attracted to me and each of them is attracted to something the other one's are not. If I sound full of myself, I'm sorry for that.

Whenever I get a compliment on my appearance, I have learned to smile and say "thank you" and then turn the conversation back to them. I do this by picking some quality on the complimentor; an article of clothing, eyes, hair, jewelery, anything that looks nice and that they might be proud of. Then I compliment them on their quality so that the conversation doesn't settle on me and how I look. It just makes me uncomfortable. When you return the compliment, you can usually get yourself a whole new conversation. It's weird how that works. I hate having to return the compliment, but it saves me a lot of anxiety.

Enjoy it while it lasts.... :wink:

I saw "cute", "hot", "sexy"...now at 39 I am fast becoming "frumpy".... 8O

When the stockboys in the supermarket started addressing me as "mam" it just became a downhill slide...

I'm ugly-hot which is more interesting than hot. People have to debate whether I'm hot or actually ugly.

I end up on both parts. Sometimes when I'm on peak spirit and manage to dress, I'm hot.
Tanned, in good shape, smiling.

At days when I'm depressed and don't give a crap, I'm ugly.
Hollow-eyed, pale, ridiculous clothes, messy hair. This is happening when I have an isolation and sleep-deprivation period.

I only care about my appearance on the good days so either way I win.

I've been told I have a great smile by a number of women, and some have said I have nice eyes. My eyes are deep blue.

I really don't know how I generally appear to others. I do know that I am overweight, wear hawaiian shirts and people tell me to get a hair cut. But I don't know how this comes off to the average person I see.

Some people I know at work tell me about my odd appearance. But I think they are just joking most of the time, they see a little oddity about my appearance and make a big deal out of it. I don't know if what they say applys to everone that sees me.

I have never had any females flirt with me other than those who know me only superficially. For example, I used to have many girls flirt with me who knew me only by my dancing. Once they got to know me they looked elsewhere.

One girl I was interested in once told me that she found me intimidating. Something about me looking people straight in the eye and having an 'intense' look about me. I don't know whether she was referring to my eye contact or the physical appearance of my eyes, which become lopsided when I'm tired.

Handsome or cute a fair bit, I do not think it is flattery either.

Still I do not believe I am that attractive, because my self esteem and confidence have always been low and will remain that way. Plus I am a little strange on top of that.

I'm 40-something pounds overweight, wich means that people see me as ret*d.

When I was younger, I was described as

Stick boy
Lost a fight with a comb
Complete nerd



More recently, I have been described as

Cute
Really good looking
Young looking
Hansome


I think I'm doing well so far!

Somebody said I looked 25. I'm 18. o.O

Some people seem to find me attractive and compliment my appearance, some do not. It depends on who you ask--I guess I have one of those faces that has a certain unique look that turns some people on and turns others off.

Reminds me of something funny. In a two day period, I was mistaken for someone younger AND older.

I'm 19. There was a day where I hadn't shaved for a week or two. Someone thought I was 25. Next day, I shaved and went to the Dentist. He thought I was 14. :lol:
