When Men write on their profile.." I am an attractive Man".. I dunno but there is something just not so attractive about that, he could be the best looking guy here but when I read that, it totally turns me off...is it just me?

Don't guys feel uncomfortable even writing that sentence? ok...probably it's just me...

I feel the same every time I read "I'm attractive/sexy/classy" on a woman's profile. I read this a lot and I think "yeah, I'll be the judge of that, thanks very much". Total turn off.

No, I don't think it's just you

I would feel like I was underselling if I used the word attractive. Attractive is common and not at all exceptional. It would be like apologizing. No, I would have to choose another word, something superlative, and if I was in earnest then I would post my picture and let her breathless desire do the talking for me.

Men may very well say they’re attractive because if they said the opposite… would you even bother to reply?

They are doing their best to put there best foot forward in the hopes women will respond to that. Can you blame them?

As an attractive man its difficult for me to respond about my attractiveness as my attractiveness tends to intimidate less attractive posters,,,but in any event I am an attractive man if you question that I will be happy to tell you how attractive I am,,,,LMAO..........I have no idea, I guess they are trying to convince themselves that they are attractive or maybe somehow convince others that they are just by committing that phrase to text,,,,seems odd to me,,but If they are cool with its all good I suppose....

I think men who believe they are attractive and are willing to self-promote put "I am an attractive man" in their profiles.

Men who know they are in the Greek god category and are willing to self-promote put "I am a farceurish man" in their profiles. Of course you don't see profiles with this because once published, these men are scooped up immediately and removed from "available" status by throngs of adoring women. It's the best kept secret on POF. Or at least it was until now.

The "I am an attractive man" guys just haven't figured it out yet.

That line is on almost every womens profile I have viewed, I think its a womens thing. Men just dont advertize thier looks but maybe someone with an over inflated ego could possibly do such a thing. When I see a women do it and lots do, I remember the parents of a girl I knew as a child who told her when she would grow up she would become beatiful and attractive. So I imagine it is programed into women to look foward and believe in that value bestowed upon them. As a guy when I read such self self lothing I cant but help thing, "What a fat headed conceded person" I suppose I dont care how much people think of themselves because what I value in a women is her actions. Actions always speak louder than words to me. Getting back to the guy, sorry for going off track, it is an odd duck for a guy to think so highly of his looks, I would be intrested if he knew the score of last weeks Giants or Yankees score. If he didnt, definetly doesnt hangout out at the bars I know

Damn. I thought it meant they were polarized, like a magnet. I was looking for one of 'em to use in my kid's science fair project--making a battery or something like that. Now I have to find a REAL magnet. Geez. There goes my weekend.

I've seen some of them "attractives"! They are NOT!
Another thing that drives me bunkers is when they describe what they wear and how they dress for this or for that... So you can dress, eh? Duh!

I don't even read the profiles.
They're just someone's opinion of themselves
I don't even read my own.

there is something just not so attractive about that...

Maybe something vain, insecure, uncalled-for. When I see that in a woman's profile, I can tell we'd run out of things to talk about pretty soon.


Don't guys feel uncomfortable even writing that sentence?

That probably doesn't occur to them. In an Appearance-over-Substance society, you tell people what you believe they want to hear.


ok...probably it's just me...

I think not. More likely you're a minority, or a "perceived" minority.

Well, since farceur started this whole "marketing" game, as a fun exercise, exclaiming that superlative was a better marketing scheme than "attractive," maybe we should all turn to using business paradigms for selling ourselves here on POF.

Geico has that dang lizard. Progressive has that "sincere, honest, chick."

Krebby2001 is, ah, "mysterious." Think James Bond, Sherlock Holmes .... let's go ahead and "advertise" ourselves the same way that Barnie Madoff advertised his pyramid scheme ... forget about being as honest as you can on the profile.

Krebby2001 ... Discover the Mystery Behind Krebby .... excuse me, I have to call the electric company to keep them from shutting off my service ... hehe.

yeah only if the guy is a total douche bag with each picture of him without his shirt on, sometimes with sunglasses and some bling and at least one picture of his car/truck.

No its not just you.Its always up to the women viewing your profile to decide if your attractive or not.Some people put on thier profile"people find me attractive"which to me is exceptable.Its been my experiance that wimen dont like a guy who brags that hes good looking or hot.They always say stuff like"daves a ok guy and hes good looking but he knows it"and they most often pass him by because of it.

"attractive" is certainly in the eyes of the beholder
to me, it's a combination of a lot of things, not just appearance

yet, browsing this catalog of men/women, we are limited to sorting and filtering by first appearance, that mug shot, to make that instant yes/no decision about even reading the profile

I agree, outright claiming to be an "attactive man" is a turn-off; comes right after "easy going and laid back" ... what the heck does that mean?? indistinct, lack of spunk, no opinion? or prone to flying off the handle but being in denial? or possibly just a desire to stay under the radar, private, cautious?
