Lets look at it this way; who would tell someone they look old for their age.


Exactly, most people are usually (key word there) kind sometimes too kind, some have a hidden agenda.




I simply reply "you look nice for your age".


In your particular case I would say “Nice at any age”.(No hidden agenda.)


What ever happened to "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"?


It still stands, people are just seem to be sick of hearing it , mainly the shallow people that are hung up on looks.

A photo can be deceptive. The judges must see you in real life,
face to face, and instructed to make their guesses as truthful as
possible (i.e. not to worry about hurt feelings). I would say a
minimum of 30 intelligent, perceptive, serious, objective
opposite sex adults should give you an idea of how old you look.
A guy I know goes down to the airport and polls members of the
public at random.

I'm pretty sure seattlerain was referring to the accuracy being more precise, if the people who would be guessing one's age didn't have to tell that person to their face on what they perceived their age to be.

I think what looks good to people may vary it choice thing . Cause they may think they look good to others but way i see it is that there trying just blow there own horn stick there feathers out an strut when they just look like a normal everday avrage male . I known some men that society doesnt list them as good looking men but they have heart an other things abt them that make them what i would consider handsome .

I think It's funny how people are so worried about trying so say they are younger or posting fake pics I mean I am all for trying to look your best for your pic but you also have to be YOU. I mean at some time you will have to roll over in the morning and "poof" you can't make the photo you appear. So best be real from the get go. You never know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And all good relationships start with honesty. WE ARE ALL HANDSOME AND BEAUTIFUL

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . Just because I may or may not think I'm good looking won't do me much good if Betty Sue's opinion is " HE UGLY !!! " .

there's a pleasant looking woman on here who's headline is "Psst... stop drooling already".
she complains in her profile that men are not emailing her. she gives you the impression she thinks she's really hot. maybe to some men she is. but you just come away from that profile thinking "i'm not what she's looking for."

but that headline?? "stop drooling already" what did she expect? men don't care for that crap anymore than women. maybe she means it to be funny. if that's her idea of a sense of humor well..... forget it.

with a message like "stop drooling already" I would think the woman is saying please get into my pants as soon as possible because I don't have any value for myself. No woman with any self respect would want a man drooling over her thats what strippers do. Real class. You have a man admire you tastefully and subtly let him see your beauty if you have it.

What do you expect them to say...."Hello, I'm ugly as Osama Bin Laden's balls"!?! Women say they want confidence,...BUT as soon as someone shows it, y'all call him a braggart! Grow the hell up,...y'all can't have it both ways!

The only way you could know that is if someone else told you like I'm saying that 'Raging' is good looking. Anyone claiming it for themself needs a mirror and a little privacy to be alone with themself.

No offense Spitfire, but that's total rubbish!! I didn't say it bugs me! I said it turns me off!!!!!! That doesn't show insecurity on my part at all or make me look petty! It shows that I'm not attracted to arrogance or conceit. There are a lot of great looking men on this site whose profiles don't begin with "I am a good looking man."


OP: Keeping track of the profile information of multiple members and then creating a thread about it strongly appears to show a degree of irritation. If that doesn't apply to you, then that's fine.

Many men and women call themselves "good-looking" or "attractive" on their own profiles. It happens frequently enough to qualify as normal. It's not arrogant nor egotistical. Healthy people generally think they are attractive to other people. Would any of us be interested in dating someone who believed she/he was unattractive? No. When I read a member's profile, and she claims to be attractive (which is often), I generally look at the pics and decide for myself if I agree with the member. Sometimes I do agree, and sometimes I don't. However, I invariably respect the fact that SHE herself thinks she is attractive. It's a plus for members to believe in their own attractiveness regardless of whether anyone else agrees or not.

I don't know why normal self-confidence would be a turn-off. If one doesn't agree with a given member's self-assessment, it's easy enough to move on to the next profile.

your idea of their attractiveness may not be their own idea or someone else's for that matter...i just read a post by a woman who was upset that everyone thinks ugly people can't get laid...?......what's with all the generalizing....maybe they're just trying to beef themselves up...maybe they hope the reader has blurred vision or stepped on their glasses....those kinda people need to sit in a bar...and get people drunk

From what I have seen on this site they should rename POF to plenty of butt ugly women.

I have been told I appear younger than my years and also that I look my age. I think those that say "younger" are actually commenting upon my attitude in life. I do not dress like a young woman but I have a light heart for life. Maybe thats the differance in some.

*From what I have seen on this site they should rename POF to plenty of butt ugly women.* I would also suggest some men do not appeal to women as in your in your profile history.
