Are You Good-Looking?
 
Do you have a healthy self image? Rate your looks on a scale of 1 to 10.

compared to what? compared to women my age? compared to teen age fashion models? compared to men's magazine fantasy women? compared to the Female news analysts on Fox News? compared to most of the women I go to church with hehe?

ok, I have perspective now lol, compared to most of the women my age, who attend UPC churches, i'd rank myself a 10.

But, the bible says, ye compare yourselves amoung yourselves and ye are not wise :(.

I think this was a trick question . . .

Good looking? All men and women are in the image of God. There is no such thing as an ugly person.

10

And what does the UPC have to do with the question?

UPC - real looking women vs magazines and media

my point being, compared to real looking women my age I look good

compared to fashion magazine models, I don't really stack up

just the facts

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Self-esteem should be gauged by the opinions of the beholders that actually concern us.

Compared to Hoovie and CC1 I'm a 10. But compared to Brad Pitt I'm a 2.

"That's just what ugly people say." -Jim Carrey


The FOX News web site routinly shows a slide show called "Stars without makeup" which is, you guessed it, candid shots of famous people sans any makeup. It is amazing how some of these people NEED their makeup artists and daily $500 visits to the hair stylists to look good. lol
There ARE some who look much better without anything -mainly because they wear way too much when they do. Then there are others who look good with it and without it simply because they are "babes" either way. :)

How would I rate myself? I lot lower now than I did 10 years ago. LOL

I believe she is referring to the stereotypical frumpyness which many start to assume as early as their early 20's. (And you do not fit this appearance Cindy.....)

IMO some "stars" for lack of a better term and models are just UGLY. I have seen very many beautiful women that go to UPC churches, Baptists churches, etc. Without make up or fancy clothes.

I have a daughter modeling now, and those pictures are really beautiful, but seriously, there is so much editing...it is amazing what they do...they are really just ordinary looking people underneath.

(not exactly what I would want her to do..but she is 21)

As someone in the process of actually getting a certification in Photoshop, I am still amazed. Here is one very popular Photoshop plug in used specifically for portraits. http://www.imagenomic.com/pt.aspx

Photoshop is great, it is amazing what you can do. I am not the artistic one in my family, but both my brother and sister work w/photoshop and love it.

My daughter used to use "pic nic" for her personal snapshots..have you heard of that? She edits photos with her job as a photographer, the modeling is what she does on the side. She is pretty in the unedited ones, but they make her look totally flawless when edited.

I am comfortable being me. I don't hide who I am. I don't look in the mirror too much because my birthmark IS a huge issue, but it is part of who I am. I rate myself as a "4". :thumbsup

I'm pretty happy with myself, imperfections and all. NOT happy with the fat, though--seriously working on that right now. [no procrastination]

I'm NOT going to assign myself a number. :D

Okay, I'll bite, then. :rolleyes2 Fat right now, so I'll give myself about a 5 (Mind you, if someone thinks they are a 10 and they are overweight, I'm not saying that can't be the case--this is about MY self-esteem--not theirs). Thin and svelte the way I HAVE been and plan to be AGAIN very soon, I would give myself a 7. I have too many imperfections to ever be a 10, but that doesn't really bother me.

11. I mean, just look at my picture!!

Charnock, since I can't see your hair, I have nothing to say. People should tell me how great my hair looks but they don't. They are just jealous, obviously. :)

You can't compare yourself to women who not only use cosmetics, but have all kinds of surgery to enhance themsleves.

Sitting here at my desk i can think of several women in the near vicinity who have had breast enhancements, tummy tucks, Tatoo'd makeup, facial dermabrasion, all kinds of stuff to make them look better.

Its so so so so sad that women can be happy with themselves as they are, but feel the need to spend a fortune on enhancements.

But yeah, lots of them look way better once the get done with all the enhancements.

Somehow, this reminds me of another AFFer. A fictitious one, I think. Hmmm, who could it be? :heeheehee

Bad to say, but I do snap judgements of people according to their hair. By the way, your's looks great also. Hair is a HUGE issue with me. If I am having a bad hair day, rate me a 2! LOL!

Re: Are You Good-Looking?
 
Considering I am still getting "hit on" at work and at church, I'd rate myself a 10. Thankfully the one at church left for another church...my husband found this man's obvious interest amusing, I did not share his amusement.
