| When a woman says she's attractive in her profile...
Posted: 2/2/2008 7:50:23 PM | | It's silly for anyone to say they're attractive....for one thing, it's quite UNATTRACTIVE to blow your own horn...more importantly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it makes little difference whether you think you're attractive or not. Self-confidence is a fine trait to have, but don't tell ME that you're attractive, I'll make that judgment. | |

Posted: 2/2/2008 11:06:01 PM | Oh get over it, people.... if a gal has been told, over and over, for most of her life that she's good looking, she'd have to be pretty daft to think otherwise, non? What really matters is if she's let it go to her head, and thinks that's ALL she needs to say about herself....
Now chances are, if she's got any brains her looks probably won't mean all that much to her... no big deal, just part of life. Especially if YOU try to tell her all about her good looks, in lieu of other, more interesting conversation.
IMHO, people that have a knee-jerk reaction to "pretty" gals are usually just projecting their own insecurities. Think they don't have any problems? Then why are they here, with all the rest of us? | |

But you can't get away from a persons appearance and how it touches you on a gut level. Sad but true, I wish I had a little more hair and a lot more money!  | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 4:52:10 PM | when I see this in a profile ,I see a person that is very confident in themselves and it doesn't necessarily mean they are attractive it is just a opinion they have of themselves .I personally believe that what one person finds attractive could be the opposite to another person so it is kind of a broad statement,there are some people out there that find BBw's more attractive then slim and visa versa so again it is a matter of opinion on who is looking at you :-)
I do believe if you generalize then a slim woman with a good figure and well groomed is what most of us consider to be attractive, which I think most of us set our standards by :-)
Nice question take care! | |

We should all approach profiles with a blind eye once you reach a certain age. In my opinion: once we reach a certain age, we should be more attentive of what someone writes in a profile.
A 18 year old may quickly make an online profile without putting much thought into it. The 18 year old also likely isn't looking for anything too serious; and as a result may not even care that certain things they write might be a turn-off to someone looking for a serious relationship. The 18 year od's only concerned with appearing "kewl' to someone their age.
I'd think that someone a little older, should be more self conscious of how they're appearing in the eyes of people their age, who would be looking for a sincere relationship with a level-headed person.
If I saw a younger person state in her profile that she's attractive: I'd just assume it's a young person trying to act cool and confident.
If I saw a person my age, stating in her profile that she's attractive: I assume that she's a little too arrogant. I'd think that if she was looking for a serious relationship, she should be more self-conscious to not appear arrogant. | |

You have to look at how they word it, and what else they talk about in thier profile.
I believe the best way to word it is to say its an oppinion of thier looks, rather than state that they are just good looking.
Although.... if you have pics up, why do you need to say anything like that? >.>
*shrugs*
People put down what they think is important for possible partners to be able to choose if they are compatible i guess ^_^ | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 10:46:21 PM | | She/he is letting you know they're attractive - to reinforce in your mind. (It's particularly crucial if a picture is absent.) It's also a subtle way of letting you know they won't "settle." (I.e. I'm attractive and you'd better be too.) Lastly, kinda lets you know they feel they're worth something (their looks, in this thread) and in that respect, it makes you want them a little more (hopefully). LOL it's a nasty world out there! ;) | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 11:29:04 PM | It would depend on the wording.
I'm all for a woman who knows she's attractive. That's called confidence.
I'm all AGAINST a woman who knows she's attractive, and uses it to manipulate people or as an excuse to get away with things an otherwise "unattractive" person wouldn't be able to get away with. That's called - being a ****.
Basically, if her profile says "I'm hot and you know it, you want me" it means that she's using her looks for an ulterior motive.
If she lists that she's "fairly attractive" as a list of personal draws, and doesn't obsess over it, it gives off a bit of confidence that everyone likes. | |

Posted: 2/18/2008 12:56:38 AM | Hi
I think it is ok if someone has a list of their attributes and lists attractive.
However, if done in excess, and we all have seen those pages where every sentence says how hot they are and how much theyre worth it and how much of a privlege it is that they would respond to you, then i think it shows extreme insecurty. Anyone who goes on for pages about how attractive they think they are is insecure and in denial and trying to project the image they want other to see.
