Guys who describe themselves as 'very attractive' are often average

February 22 2012

And often not too smart. Is it the same with women's profiles?

    Yep.We all gotta talk ourselves up, and what some find attractive, others don't. That's why I appreciate profiles with pics. ;)

    Anyone who calls themselves very attractive is an automatic no no for me. They either are genuinely exceptionally attractive, in which case they're way out of my league, or they've grossly over-exaggerated their attractiveness, in which case they're delusional or unredeemably egotistical. Either way, not for me :)I'm much more inclined to be brutally honest about me and what I have to offer. Saves any disappointment, I figure.

    its hard to be honest when it come to describing oneself. I think that part of the profile shouldn't really be there.. mainly because everyone got a different taste on who is attractive and who isn't. Not everyone would agree on the same thing!.. so yeah.. pointless .. Cos everyone's attractive, to some people.As for me.. Im not gorgeous, im average, but i like to think myself as attractive. Maybe its part of my confidence boost? perhaps thats why they put theirs like so? *Shrugs* who knows.... So yes. like others before me. Profile pics is the way to go...

    i have to say if you ask any guy and he will always assume his above average , he could be going gray showing signs of huge wrinkles and a beer gut and think his a 22 year old stud and every female should fall at his feet.God i wish i had their confidence! Females sell them selves short cause we like to hear we are pretty beautiful smoking hot and we never believe a word the guy says. Females have got to learn to love the way they look cause really most guys do think we are pretty beautiful smoking hot for something as simple as we smiled and say Hi.

    If we don't find ourselves attractrive then who will??? This is just people trying to "sell" themselves, I wouldn't say I'm super attractive if were being honest, I mean I never have people when out trying to pick me up as apose to the other way round.   Same goes with women after FWB's do they really exist?

    I've been emailing the RHP sys admins and asking if they would add "Magnificent" as one of the options for our profiles but they haven't replied yet. I'm begining to think the email system here just doesn't work.

    Quoting 'Handmaiden'I have to but up average as there is just no box to tick for.....Fucking Awesome and Super Smart Lol, that's awesome!But really, I try not to judge people too harshly on how they describe their appearance. Personally, I find it difficult to honestly describe my appearance in my profile, because I'm aware of how subjective physical attraction is, and I'm sure many others do too. Some days I look in the mirror and think, "yes, I'm looking pretty good today", other days I look in the mirror and think "meh". I prefer to let profile pictures speak for themselves rather than a one-word description.xx StuckOn the other hand, what Handmaiden says:

    I'm the same height as Brad Pitt. He's very attractive, so this concludes my evidence. Hugs Stalky

    As I'm a very humble and reserved man, I've described myself as attractive even though, in the flesh, I'm dazzling.   ....and All2sweet2 I'm a non-drinker so my gut has nothing to do with beer.

    Women describe themselves quite differently too...and sometimes it's all in the colour of the brush they paint themselves with when trying to get your attention. | There was a profile here for a while...it's gone, but still haunts my mind. It was green...and it had big lips with even darker green bumps on them. I am sure it could sing... | ...feed me, Seymour.

    This forum made my day. It's 3am, mind, so off to a funny start. Some fine points mentioned above including women being worse on themselves. I find myself comparing my looks to when I was 21, 30, 34 even and although my face doesn't look 100% like a squashed sandshoe ( as mentioned above about how some of our male partners look ) my self esteem has failed to accept the differences when ageing although I pretty much have the body of a teenager. ( Buried in my backyard lol ) In saying that, I find men who are very attractive and put "Very Attractive" to be trying to whittle down their chances of snaring dates with Uber-Models, which if the ravings of some weak eye-sighted males I am, but there's no way I would consider seeing them as my low confidence would lead me to not orgasm through self-conciousness or wonder if he has a fetish for "ugly, average or almost a model" women by being with me. And if they put "Very attractive" and they look like a dogs breakfast I'd ask if they're a comedian or were high when they filled-in their profile and secretly wonder if their nose will Pinocchio out to surpass their beer gut.

    Obtaining a set group of random members and a control group of minimum50% representative value should result the accurate data you're observing.

    Well I'm 6'4", same as Arnie. So by some logic I should have a face like a chainsaw wood carving, muscles like tumours, and nuts the size of steroid soaked raisins. According to some. Maybe.

    It has been too long since I have seen me. I therefore ASSUME I am "Average" Well average as far as cavemen go...   I just WISH a few more females on here would give me the chance to SHOW what a beautiful person I am.... UNDER the skin.. *smiles*   Unfortunately... I THINK my smiles look like a constipation grimace too.... Which may explain my poor luck on sight :)   caveman

    Dude! Arnie is a short arse compared to you. He's 6' tall. That's where you're going wrong. Kevin Falk is 6'4" and 115kg of Norwegian musclebuilding beef. Man you're fucken hawt! You can be my daddy!! Hugs Stalky

    Stalky I reckon sometimes that you and I need to seriously work out some sort of job share arrangement......a planned timetable and some high five tag team guidelines. Its either that or I really am a gay man trapped inside this woman's body!!   And to Miss Bit of Crumpet.........Gurl lets hook you up with a little reality check to boost you up here hun. Age is simply a number, a mathematical term and something to write on paper. There are fabulous women here with birthdates much before yours or mine and they are fabulous!!! Us ladies should all adopt the concept, these things are not wrinkles - they are character lines!!! Hence with each cheek and spunk about you can be reflected as character.   Lately, I have replaced the word 'old' with the word 'wise' and am loving it. I dont have hang ups about my wisdom, and even when comes to age, cos I firmly believe, that just like a fine red wine, I simply get better with age.....am more valuable and oh so sweeter.   I have a very dear friend who is much wiser than I, yet she is riiddled with insecurity about her maturing process.....and let me share with you now, we were chatting at my place the other day about it and then the good old days (she was a dancer) and out of the blue, after putting herself down about her eyes, her cheeks, her skin, she said "But I can still do the splits" and without warning or even taking a breath, she quickly extended her leg and down she went. OMG this woman is phenomenonal!!!!! And she is wiser in years than my mother!!!   There are alot of us out there in the world that do hesitate to discuss the best features about ourselves, but there are twice as many people out there that can be so quick to put you down, you dont want to give them a head start!!   None of us are perfect, but we all perfect in our own way.......   And for Miss WANewbie, yes whilst it is frustrating when something is misrepresented from a profile, but lets face it even when average might be the way he looks, he might be the most attractive person in so many other ways. Initial chemistry is very important, but doesn't always come through a visual appearance. The not so smart ones though......bless their little hearts.....sometimes it really does take more than 4 little misspelt words to capture our attentions. And I could just grab those lovehandles on those that say athletic, and shake em like a little kid's cheeky grin, wobble, wobble, wobble, and say 'good boy for trying'!!!! hehehehe

    Aye, Kampalina I hear what you're saying, I was agreeing with a previous poster who said that some men play themselves up to be gods gift. I do realise there are older ladies than us on here and I have seen the baggy boobs around and good for them. I was a dancer ( like your friend ) for 15 years so I guess we have a more discerning eye regarding health and ageing as we got paid a fortune for our looks. I don't need a reality check, my husband and I both have character lines.

    Most of the comments here make some sense - to some people....but given the diversity of people on here that is bound to happen. It is a website where people 'sell' themselves...something akin to a cattle market to put it crudely..when selling an item it always makes sense to overemphasise the appealing aspects and underemphasise the not so appealing ;-).Some people have facial characteristics that can be considered traditionally good looking - and generally are found to be attractive by the majority of people..Other people have a more unsual, exotic or rarefied look about them and public opinion varies greatly about whether they are 'Very Attractive' or 'Average' etc.If someone labels themself as 'very attractive' then so be it...it is their self opinion and reflects high self-esteem (some of the time ;-) )I choose to call myself Very Attractive - and some days I feel more so than others....and I certainly do not need confirmation from anonymous people...For instance - for the women who wrote me last week and said I was 'average at best' - thank you for your kind words ;-)
