Couple of things:
1. Looks are relative. Compared to Youtube influencers like Chris Heria or Brandon Harding, I look terrible (these guys have attractive faces and great bodies). Compared to the people I work with, I look like I should have a Youtube channel.
2. You can have a good face and bad body or vice versa. My face is eh... I think my body is OK. Definitely work to do, but I can get better before I ctb.
3. Dating apps are not really a measure of attractiveness. Why are you on there, and what are most people looking for. I can easily get laid 4 times in a day on grindr. PoF, people are looking for a relationship. So it's more than just your looks, it's your job, money, housing situation...

Especially for guys, one of the easiest ways to look better is tan. No one wants to see someone who is pasty white or has a farmer's tan.

I know it's a weird question.

My other thread "How are you financially" showed fhat majority are under some form of financial stress.

So, do you consider yourself good looking. Do you get a lot of attention from the other sex? Do people notice you walking in the streets etc?

Personally, I would say im average. I get some attention, but no use when your mind is so destroyed...
No, no, and no. My older sister always told me how ugly I was. I suppose I internalized her message.

Remember-Me-Not

I think I'm going to be okay.

My self-esteem is at rock bottom - I guess it just comes with long term emotional abuse and C-PTSD (negative self-concept).

I think I'm ugly to the point where well-adjusted people won't even consider me, but okay looking enough that I attract desperate men who seek out women that have less going for them to boost their own confidence (Is this too specific? Yea it is. Been there, done that).

I'm also fat. Like, whenever I see myself in pictures that other people take, I feel this stab of self-shame because I have a prominent double-chin, or my shoulders are too rounded (because of fat), or my backside looks... not appealing. But I'm working on trying to love myself a bit more.

I was very attractive but never had confidence. Still somewhat attractive and without confidence.

No I'm ugly so I don't go out on dates with girls I find attractive because I don't want to even try or even get hurt by others but that is just me.
My genetics suck.

Nun, ich bin jetzt älter. Aber ich sah früher gut aus, ja. Aber ich konnte es nicht sehen. Ich dachte immer, ich wäre unter den anderen, nicht unbedingt nur optisch, sondern in allem. Wenn ich mir heute Fotos aus der Vergangenheit ansehe, sehe ich, dass ich gut aussah und bin wütend, dass ich es nicht sehen und fühlen konnte. Ich habe mich immer klein und schlecht gefühlt. Wahre Schönheit entsteht, wenn man sich selbst mag und mit sich und anderen in Frieden ist.

Doesn't matter. Soon I'll stop being able to see how I look, and shortly after that I'll forget how I looked like. And then I die. Guess which one happens first.
I vaguely remember you mentioning eye floaters so I assume you could go blind with time? Unless you leave before that becomes the case, in which it depends.

Enough for random people to somehow have to say it does not matter how I act or what I think, and I have ideas on why but at the same time I do not want to dwell (easy for me to get bored of myself this way.)

i like my face. but everything else is kinda off, my head is too small, shoulders are too big. people think it looks fine but i look in the mirror and it doesnt feel right at all. i only wear my hair down because anything else will make me feel like shit.

Honestly, I don't mind my face. Some days I like it - but I don't like my body because it doesn't match who I am, and I've had men befriend me in hopes that I'll sleep with them even though I don't like men.
I also feel way too short. I just turned 20 but people think I'm a highschool freshman. I know that "as I get older I'll like looking young" but I don't like being infantilized and sexualized at the same time because I'm short and curvy...
If my chest were flat, and I were just a bit taller, I think I'd be happier.

People find me attractive for sure. If only I would had learned how to love myself, I'd be much better off.

I want no relationship at the moment when I am suicidal, I'm not CTB in a relationship and relationships don't help my mental health. So, there's not much benefit to attractiveness, other than the fact that I can get on Grindr and fuck the pain away if I want, which causes many issues in itself.

I feel you AND feel for you. My younger sister and my dad both did the same to me, and even at my age it's hard to shake that voice ingrained in your mind that tells you how ugly/funny looking/stupid you look. My family also liked to always point out imperfections (even transient ones for me) like pimples or bad hair days, etc. I already objectively knew I was average at BEST on a VERY good day...having one's own family insult and be so cruel about one's looks is more devastating and longlasting than they realize. :( I'm sorry you had family like that too. It sucks.

Same.
No idea, I don't watch films. Only have the webm.
It's called "Enemy", starring Jake Gyllenhaal. I watched it some ago so don't remember a lot but the basic story is that Jake's character randomly sees a man (an actor) who looks exactly like him and he gets obsessed with that man and his life, and starts stalking him and inserting himself into the other man's life and all kinds of weird stuff happens. It is indeed a strange film.

And apparently his wife transforms into spiders.

Oh haha was it his wife? I couldn't recall how that whole aspect of the film came into play. I should re-watch it sometime...

Having a spouse who turns into spiders would be a dealbreaker for me though I know that. :)

Never had problem in dating - even I'm not a classic beauty lot of man likes "giant vakyria" kind of woman. Plus I'm funny and I can do parallel paking.

Last 2 years was hard 'cause a medical condition called abdomen diastasis. It requires surgery and it's not a free treatment (most of them are, here).

So apparently there are more man into valkyrias and less in to cangaroo-like woman. But I'm open to discussion.
