How do you know if you're ugly, hot or somewhere in between?

**BigGreen** · 09-14-2004, 03:09 PM

I used to have credible theories for assessing this, but I think they're shot. My most credible was the "significant other corollary theory" in which one could judge their own relative attractiveness based on the attractiveness of their S.O. according to objective opinions. The flaw in this theory, however, is it holds little water in the "real world" as factors such as income, job security, job choice, etc etc come to play a significant role in the process. Though I maintain it is a valid theory while in college.

HotorNot, et al are terribly inflated, as everyone not heinous gets at least an 8 as I understand it.

So, i got curious today as to whether I'm nasty or not....my eyes, nose and mouth check out where they're supposed to be, but anyone have a theory as to how i can check the whole package?

r u in law school???

**symatech** · 09-14-2004, 03:13 PM

its all you bro. If you start judging yourself based on what others think you've already lost. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks are based on opinion always. Who cares what other people think of you? decide for yourself how you want to feel, and go with that. fvuck everyone else, they arent living your life and never will.

nobody with a brain like yours is ever really "nasty".....

boy you gotta have female friends no? Ask them, they'll be honest.....i always am with my boyz

**khurrams** · 09-14-2004, 03:15 PM

For me its usually the attention I get which makes me feel where I stand...

**956Vette** · 09-14-2004, 03:17 PM

BG, just get on top of that long overdue haircut...then you could be on your way

**TooSmall** · 09-14-2004, 03:20 PM

if you get pussy thrown at you your above average

if you dont have a problem getting laid and dont break mirrors when you brush your teeth your average

Actually, look around at your friends. The people you regularly interract with--the ones you make no effort to attract--is one of the most obvious signs of your basic looks and gereral attractiveness (including personality).

Are you regularly seen with a below average crowd or an above average crowd? Again, I'm not talking about the crowd you hang with once in a great while, I'm talking about your core group of friends. Your friends tend to be tiny reflections of you. This method is also a reasonably good measure of intelligence and interpersonal skills too.

All of my friends are female save for two or three, and who knows if they're being honest. I *will* get to the bottom of this though.

Crap, I'm screwed.

**SMYL_GR8** · 09-14-2004, 04:27 PM

You're def right about the outside factors. My friend that pulls the most ass is average-sized, bald, wears glasses, bad underbite but leave him alone with ANY girl for twenty minutes and she'll do anything he wants. I don't get it.

Relative attractiveness is somewhat objective, but look at who gets the most consensus. A balance of simple features with maybe one or two that are striking seems to be the common demoninator. Make the nose slightly bigger, chin slightly longer, hair slightly thinner, eyes slightly narrower, etc. and it makes all the difference.

Then, BigGreen, perhaps you're a latent homosexual. Not too many guys are able to have many female friends that are close without destroying the friendhsip with sex.

Seriously now... still, look at your friends. Are your girlfriends goodlooking, entertaining, fun, intelligent? Check out how they interact with other people who are not in your group, and it's likely that you interact similarly with outsiders.

If you have a large amount of close girlfriends, then there's obviously a large part of you that is able to share feelings well and to communicate. Based on the way you've interacted on the message boards, you do like to open up and chat, which is a great characteristic for a guy--not too many have that ability unless it's coated with games-playing or immaturity.

My three best friends in the world are female and i've slept with two of them. The third is so much like a sister to me that I can't imagine we would ever cross that line.

Okay, *now* things are looking up. I consider a lot of my guy friends fairly average or below, but a good chunk of my female friends are tough to be around because of the attention they attract.

If you read my original post, I mentioned that it is not your romantic interests, but your casual friends that are the mirrors of you: "The people you regularly interact with--the ones you make no effort to attract--is one of the most obvious signs of your basic looks and gereral attractiveness (including personality)."

BG's "girlfirends" we mentioned was a reference to his current friends that are female--not romantic interests anymore (some are ex's).

Romantic interests are not necessarily your opposites. More often than not they are young versions of one of your parent figures that most influenced you (either one of your parents or someone who raised you--a live in nanny, a grandmother, a nearby family's matriarch or patriarch where you spent most of your time, escaping your real family).

**chicamahomico** · 09-14-2004, 09:27 PM

That's exactly the thought that entered my mind when I read that too. If BASK8KACE's theory holds, hopefully I'm the black sheep of the bunch.

It doesn't matter how hot, average , or nasty a guy is,........as soon as you get a serious commitment, an uncommon phenomenon occurs when "not all but more than usual" women start payin' a lil' more attention. Kinda sucks,well,.....maybe not.

**kloter1** · 09-14-2004, 09:36 PM

not bragging at all here. i know im attractive because, my senior yr of hs i was asked out by 3 girls on the first day. a year ago i was approached at a upscale bar/lounge to model undewear for 30 women bachlorette party. ive been told i should model. i was picked for a Fox reality show last May but didnt have the $ to travel. so id say im decent. ok im off my ego trip..

Actually, beauty in nature (humans included) is based on symmetry. If you want to know where you stand facially, use the mask created by Dr. Stephen Marquardt using Da Vinci's golden ration 1 : 1.6183... You'll have to take a picture of yourself on a digital camera, download a copy of the mask, and superimpose it on your face shot.

http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence...cles/mask.html

The ratio is found virtually everwhere in creation from a seashells rings to the shape of galaxies. Pretty friggin cool.

**Juggernaut** · 09-15-2004, 06:18 AM

I can't really help you with this BigGreen. Seeing how I've always been bleassed with manly good looks it's hard to relate to the thoughts of uglier folks, such as yourself....and Mart, and the cross you must bare. If I base my status with Bask8's theroy I'm surely one hell of a good looking man. All my male friends are above average except for Jeffery....though lacking in dashing good looks and body, his charm and smooth talking net him more play then my single friends...and he's married! As for my female friends....their all attractive women...ranging in age from 26 to 45. And to top it off my very best friend of this group is a hottie big time (Yes, it's a woman....if you're reading this Mart....Mo).

Dumbass, I've seen your pictures....you're an above average looking kind of guy......when you cut that hair......clean your nails......shave your back......pluck that unibrow.........trim the nose hairs..........Call one of those extreme makeover programs and you're set! hahahahahahahaha
