how hot do you think you are?

[00Syd]

Don't you ever say that again. You're talking to the girl who only goes barefaced if she's DEATHLY sick. I put makeup on before I let Mister drive me to the hospital after my water broke, sweetie. There is NO SUCH THING as "too much thought" when it comes to pretty girl stuff.

This is super 1950s Miss Teen, but I see hair as a girls crown. It is my belief that you can wear a potato sack, but as long as your hair is amazing, you will look amazing. Think of, like, everyone in Mad Men after sex. Some secretary will be wearing nothing more than her bosses extra work shirt, but her hair will be gigantic and magnificent, and so she could just as easily be wearing the most perfect dress. IMO, your hair is the most important part of any outfit. I have a ton of absolutely gorgeous dresses that would look terrible if I wore my hair in a simple ponytail.

I think this goes for men, too. Bring back the pompadour!

To me, shaved smooth and shiny or buzzed close to the scalp is the ultimate sex hair for men. I love the way the stubble burrs against my palm when I run my fingers across his head. OOOH Lord yes almighty save me now!

But yeah, anyway, before I get too distracted. I agree. Good hair is vital to a woman's beauty, neglected hair makes me so sad. So many women could be so much more beautiful if they'd just treat their hair a little better. Hair's easy, it doesn't take a whole lot of work to look nice.

ETA: I personally don't think a person can be comfortable in their own skin and believe that they're ugly. I think that's an oxymoron. If you look in the mirror and hate what you see, how can you truly accept yourself? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

You might believe people like myself are "conceited" or of the mindframe like "Yeaaaah, I would TOTALLY do me!" but that, in my opinion, is a direct product of your own discomfort in yourself. You can't understand confidence and finding oneself attractive unless you ARE confident and you find yourself attractive.

not true. also i believe intothewoods is a great example of someone with good self-esteem, yet she too finds it weird to find oneself "hot." this is aside from the fact that, as stated before, there is a tremendous difference between being confident and comfortable in one's physical appearance, and being conceited and/or lusting over yourself. many people consider themselves attractive without thinking of themselves as "hot stuff."

also, i will readily admit to a heap of self-esteem issues. but despite them all, i AM genuinely comfortable with who i am, and have no desire to be anyone else. but on the purely superficial physical level on which this thread is based, because of my constantly wavering self-esteem there are days when i would rate my appearance as above decent and days when i think i belong in the leper colony...but i recognize these feelings for what they are, and am aware they often do not reflect how i appear to the outside world.

 

[ownedsubgal]

You are such a fibber but I love you anyway and will forgive you for it.

They aren't that big, only a 34 D. Was the angle.

well 34D is still pretty massive to me, as a B cup. but i must agree, they look great, the shape especially is making me envious.

I simply don't agree that finding oneself hot is lusting after oneself, or conceit. Your opinions are yours, doesn't mean I have to think they're right. I don't think I'm better than anyone else, nor do I look down on other people who are "less attractive" physically than me because I KNOW that I'm less attractive than some people out there.

The fact that I'm confident in my looks doesn't mean I don't deserve that opinion either, and the word "Conceited" means exactly that. I don't rate myself higher than what I really am nor do I think the world revolves around me. I honestly find it really insulting that you'd even imply that.

Dita Von Teese is too old - got the memo on that?

I Don't want to live in a world where Dita Von Teese is considered too old.

While yeah, it would be nice to lose some weight, my real goal for joining the gym is more about building endurance and strength, and having more energy. I need to become a better rope-bottom, and joining the gym is my first step in that direction. I want to build my endurance and strength so that I can stay in suspensions for longer periods of time, get better at switching through multiple positions while never fully coming out of the suspension, and be able to attempt more and more difficult positions. Seb is getting to be a better and better rope top, but I'm staying in the same place as a rope-bottom, and that's not right. I have to keep up!

This is fucking awesome. You rock even harder than my previous estimation, which was pretty darned flattering.

--

And, overall, I'm meh on my appearance. The women that consider me attractive do so because I push their psychosexual buttons, not because of my rock-hard abs.

And they are rock-hard. They're just underneath a layer of quality insulation.

 

[Seurat]

And here I voted not on looks alone, but on the total package. Are we allowed do-overs?

 

[00Syd]

This is fucking awesome. You rock even harder than my previous estimation, which was pretty darned flattering.

Aw, thanks I just think that, y'know, just like tops, bottoms have skills that they need to learn, work on, and practice. I'm not holding up my fair share of the weight at the moment, and that's not fair on the tops.

There have been a lot of classes around here lately on bottoming skills, which is cool, but they all end up being somewhat redundant. IMO, there are three main "bottoming skills." 1) clear and effective communication, 2) know thyself, and be able to communicate that knowledge, and 3) self improvement, in whatever areas relate to your bottoming activity. I'm working on number 3 right now.

 

[rida]

It was more a 'if you saw yourself walking down the street, how attarctive would you say said woman is'.
By mainstream standards I'd be a 3, at most.

I voted before reading the above ^^^ otherwise I'd given the same answer as eastern sun:

I have no idea how to vote on this one.

I range from a goddarned perfect 10 to hovering just above a 2.

So I'm going to say, it depends.

Anyway, I gave myself a pretty good number.
Why? Because I think I'm looking great considering age, childbirths and the very little I do to take care/improve myself.

However when walking down the streets, I don't make people's heads turn, nor I get cat-calls. I'm not an average looking cookie cutter pretty type, and most of my charm comes from talking with me (unless you are someone that prefers their women to be of very few words ).

And you know what actually made me think for the first time that I'm hot?
Seeing my reflection in a mirror, suspended, uncomfortable, just moments before getting cropped. I caught my image and I honestly thought: "danm! Now I know why men like to tie up women and hang them. I look hot! LOL"

Yeah, it's stupid. I ignore it fairly well, but when people ask this question I'm always like "who's a ten?"

i had no intention of insulting you, but then i find it unnerving that you happen to consider yourself "pretty." i do view that as conceit, not because you believe the world revolves around you (am pretty sure you don't), but because of the absolute conviction of the statement. "i AM pretty," with the same seriousness and matter-of-factness that one would say "i AM 5 feet 8 inches tall." the reality of course is that one's physical attractiveness is no set thing, but depends entirely on the lens with which one is viewed. some people will find you highly unattractive, others will find you to be the most beautiful of the beautiful. that hopefully goes without saying. viewed through your own lens, you see yourself a particular way, a way which in your mind also places you above others if only in a purely superficial sense. that too, is conceit as i think of the term.

it's not about just finding oneself attractive (which is fine dandy and possibly mentally healthy).

but anywho, those are just my personal feelings/opinions on the topic, not the gospel from on high.

is it even possible to be a "10" on just looks alone? cuz i don't see how.

 

[MisterSir]

I think this goes for men, too. Bring back the pompadour!

Not in a month of Sundays, sweet lady. I don't do anything with my hair that involves more than washing and combing it - no gel, no wax, no use of hairdriers, not nothing - because it's a lot of additional effort and frankly, I have no idea what looks good. I'm not hot enough to go out with bad hair and still look presentable.

is it even possible to be a "10" on just looks alone? cuz i don't see how.

Yes. It just works differently for everybody. That should be obvious.

 

[intothewoods]

I guess I'm the only one here who thinks it's weird for someone to think that they're ugly.

I personally love being comfortable in my own skin. I think it affords me a lot less headaches and crippling self-esteem issues that many women deal with on a DAILY basis. I don't have time to fret over whether or not I'm socially acceptable in the looks department, I have better things to do than agonize over what God gave me.

I don't know if it's weird, but I do feel bad for the women who really put themselves down in this thread.

I have my moments, but generally I have pretty good self-esteem, and it's totally a result of the way my parents raised me. Part of that is also that looks weren't the end all, be all. If anything I'm much more critical of my professional accomplishments, what I'm doing with my life, my brain, etc.

As far as the weirdness of I'm so hot, it's just not my nature to be overflowing with confidence. I often have trouble tooting my own horn.

 

[Keroin]

BTW, I didn't vote. There was no 11 or "surface of the sun" or anything like that. (Kidding everyone, kidding...is joke, no?)

LOL. And yeah, I get tired of hearing people denigrate themselves, too.


I'm so hot they use me to light the fireworks on Canada Day.

I'm so hot fires are embarassed to have their picture taken next to me.

I'm so hot I turned the Antarctic to soup.

 

[Bette_coquette]

"Hotness" is a state of mind. To ask a group of people if they think they're hot based on their looks perpetuates the media's definition of beauty, which in my mind is ridiculously unattainable. I'm pretty sure every one of us in this thread have seen the hunger our counterparts have for each of us. That yearning makes us totally haaaawwwwwwttttt for that period of time. I give all of us a 10!!

 

[FurryFury]

I vote 5 or average.

 

[JMohegan]

It was more a 'if you saw yourself walking down the street, how attarctive would you say said woman is'.

I don't rate other men when I walk down the street, and I don't know any other males who do, either. I also don't pick apart and critique other guys' clothes, hair, shoes, size, or body parts; and I don't do that to myself.

I didn't vote in your poll, because there was no option for: "On this subject, women are nuts." As long as I live, I will never understand why you do this to each other, and yourselves.

For the record, I look like a tall, lean, athletic, clean-cut, 52 year old white guy with zero body modification who is graying at the temples. If you like that sort of thing, then you like that sort of thing. If you don't, then you don't. If you prefer pompadour people, biker boys, cross dressers, body builders, 20 somethings, swarthy guys, metrosexuals, or anything else, then you won't get all worked up about my appearance. And? I'm not gonna assign a number to that, because that's not a rating issue. That's just common sense.

 

[Netzach]

Raquel Welsh http://www.celebritiesfans.com/Pic/raquelwelch.jpg

Absolutely.

So, ok I'm a six on the Raquel as ten scale. And hello, no less hot now, I dunno what bargain she entered into, but I'd like to also.

Of course I am feeling much less hot than I was earlier in the day, as it appears I have fuckin' shingles.

 

[Netzach]

I guess if Ingrid Bergman were a total dweeb every time she opened her mouth, it might lower her stock somewhat. Not sure. There is something about the hyper-beautiful that seems to draw on character or hints of character - I mean we don't know any of these people, personally but you're not going to find frothy bimbettes on most people's actual "pinnacle of beauty" lists. More Sophia Loren types.

 

[YourCaptor]

These results are pretty funny, apparently everyone is above average. I wonder then, were does the average come from.

Why is their no 11?

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

I don't want to come off as conceited or anything, but I really believe that I'm among the hottest males in my neighborhood that posts on this board. I do.

No kidding. I really don't get a lot of the mainstream hotness choices. Sarah Jessica Parker, for example, is someone that I do not find hot.

This is part of the reason why I shave my head.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with confidence. I would describe myself as pretty self-assured and confident, yet I don't feel like I look particularly hot.

She never really did it for me. Ann Margret though? Wow, brain go stupid.
