How do you define your appearance?

[Glumlock]

Do you think you are ugly? I think that everyone, no matter how confident or socially competent they may or may not be has some kind of doubt about their appearance, some more than others.
I think that the Media and the porn industry put a lot of pressure on both sexes to look like perfect, angelic representations of the human form that appear in films and pornos. For example, according to the media girls need to have a slim waist, large, round, tight buttocks, curvy hips, large breasts, long hair ect ect. If you don't have those, you aren't attractive. This is why a lot of girls become insecure about their appearance, and why some develop eating disorders. Yeah i'm just regurgitating (pun intended) information from psychology textbooks.. but i think it's true. The Media put a lot of pressure on how we view ourselves in comparison to others and it's damaging.

Truth be told? i hate my appearance. I'm sure a lot of you hate yours. I'm sure some of you hate mine But in truth, i don't think appearance matters so much in the long run, because i think that we would be incapable of seeing someone we truly love as anything but beautiful. Maybe that's because physical and sexual attraction needs to be there as well in order for you to click - maybe not. Who knows?

$hitty moods seem to be able to influence how I view my appearence - some days i think i'm repulsive, other times i think, well... there's worse

How do you think you look?

 

[doesit]

dont know about the others,but i always like myself when i look into the mirror,im not anything near to perfect body,or supermodel face but i am attracted to myself

 

[freestylemonster]

^^lol same I think I'm pretty damn sexy....except my nose is too big...and I don't look good at all in pictures lol

 

[philly2bits]

I'm God's gift to women. I also have no modesty.

 

[worrywort]

I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to be beautiful. I wonder how many more doors would be opened to me. Maybe less! who knows?!

In reality i think I'm pretty average looking. I don't think I'm so hideous that I need to feel shame walking down the street and hide my face, but I'm also aware that I'm not attractive enough or charismatic enough for people to instantly like me on first impressions....so I tend to rely on 6th, 7th, 8th etc impressions to form relationships etc.

but how awesome would it be if you geniunely did have a warped self image and someone came along one day and geniunely thought you were beautiful!? that'd be sweet!

 

[DaaaBulls]

I've looked at myself so many times in the mirror that sometimes I think I know how I look way too much. I like the way I look except for my larger than average nose, and a mole or two. Other then that I wish I was a few inches taller.

I'm always experimenting with my appearance. Not because I think I'm ugly, but because I like to change it around a lot. This is probably because up until right before I turned 17, I always had the same look.

If I had to change anything about myself, I would change the way my body is shaped. No, I don't think I'm fat or anything. Weight has nothing to do with it. I just don't really like the way my body is shaped. I feel a little androgynous. =| I know I could probably easily shape it if I exercised more, but I'm just so lazy.

I'm ugly because I'm anxious. Does that make sense? If I'm not anxious, I'm actually attractive. People are usually shocked to hear that I'm single, obviously I can't be that ugly. But my anxiety is extremely extremely debilitating.

 

[LostViking]

I'm fine with the way I look to be fair, however I'm not very fine with my weight. Used a weight for the first time in a few years this winter, and ended up at below 50kg (48ish I think), add that I'm somewhere between 1.7 and 1.8m, and the BMI index gave me a "You're still alive?"-response.

Trying to turn things around now, but I have a bad habit of forgetting meals or working out.

 

[kuhtreen]

I have an unhealthy need for perfection. I feel like I hate very bit of my body that isn't perfect (which is pretty much everything). I hate my hair, my nose, my thighs, my height, the proportions of my body and whatnot....I hate a lot about my appearance. But the thing is, I don't consider myself ugly compared to other people. I just consider myself ugly compared to MY own standards.

 

[Noca]

im ugly and can barely stand how I look.

 

[Drummr]

I don't think I'm ugly, I actually like the way I look for the most part. Its just that I don't think anyone else does.

What does it mean to have "delicate" facial features?

 

[pandamonium77]

I care a lot about what i wear, and how BORING it is, and how its like the same thing everyday, but i really could care less about what other people wear, i got over the fear of what people think about me when I'm talking to someone who dresses differently
Now i could care less what you wear, the more unique, the cooler you are in my eyes ^^
Next year I'm thinking about getting some green pants... that would be pretty awesome
but i don't know if i'd ever wear them

If thats you in the avatar,I dont think you have much to worry about dude,me I am average looking,I would change my nose,height cause when I start to get chubby I look like a Barrel ,shape of my head and I could go on and on.

 

[Riptor]

Does voice count as appearance? Probably not... nevertheless.

I'm not exactly dashing, but that doesn't really have much to do with my social anxiety. I define my appearance by my voice more than anything, which is horrible. It's monotone and I have trouble speaking loudly, and is easily my biggest source of self-consciousness.

 

[Ashiene]

I don't know what or who I am. No one knows.

Heeeey, thats a pretty good point kuhtreen, I guess I kinda feel the same way. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder what the hell is wrong with the female gender, and then other times I feel I just dont match-up to MY OWN REDICULOUSLY HIGH STANDARDS!

Good post, you've earned yourself a rep point.

p.s lol I keep unconsciously glancing at myself in the mirror to make sure I haven't gone ugly.

aye i see where you're coming from there. The more anxious you feel, the less confidence you have. Sometimes people are shocked to hear I'm single, but those are only the people who i don't see everyday. Obviously my social incompetence shines through my appearance

Yeah i can agree with that - sometimes i see someone and i think "how lucky i am to not have a nose like that" or whatever. But i don't have the perfect media defined appearance that people ask for. I hate my hair, my face and my walk; I have bad posture

Half an hour in the make-up chair and you'd put most good-looking guys to shame. Sorry, I'm a male so it prolly dont mean as much (and i'm not gay, unfortunately ), but its pretty obvious.
