This is so true. Ugly people like me can become attractive with a bit of self-confidence. When going out, just say to yourself that you have nothing to envy those dudes/girls (which is true). Trust me, you can be hotter than you think.

i cant tell if thats sarcasm or not.....?

anyways, being self-confident or just happy in your skin is a lot sexier to opposite sex (or same sex, no discriminating here) than the alternative, generally. of course someone can you like you even if your not. but generally.

i was bummed out by never getting girls i wanted but other people were hitting on me alot, so despite me thinking i was ugly as sin there were people that liked me. but once i got a smidgin of ego it was a lot easier obviously. thats all.

whats attractive about someone putting themselves down? when your happy & out there it rubs off on others.

I think when your really happy with who you are, no matter what you look like on the outside it will show inside & out. True beauty is truly what you make of it.

Let's face it you don't have your looks forever. I find that people who depend on their outer beauty are not very comfortable with who they are inside. If you need to show yourself off to everyone every chance you get, then there is something not so happy deep down that you may not realize. I think those are the people with the most insecurities. It is rather sad :(

True beauty will show right through you, maybe some people just need to change a hair style or a little make up. People who wear too much make up it definitely shows.

Just be comfortable in the skin your in whether you a man or a woman. Be happy being you, if everybody looked the same way it would be a pretty boring world.

To be really honest, I think there's 3 kinds of people in the world:

- Those who are beautiful on the inside
- Those who are beautiful on the outside
- Those who are reversible, like me

Now, how's that for self-confidence

reversible? I never heard that one before . good for you...it's really about having confidence.

Yeah... it actually sounds funnier in spanish :P

So if Eddie Vedder looked like Geddy Lee how many of us would be here?

Or, for a better comparison, what if he looked like Mark Lanegan? One interestin thing the big 3 Seattle bands all had in common (nirvana, soundgarden, pj) was a handsome and incredibly charismatic lead singer. Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Mudhoney... the ones that actually looked like scruffy northwestern lumberjacks... all disappeared pretty quick.

Two words: Thom Yorke.

SNAP!

There's a lot of extremely successful bands that have unconventional looking (ugly) lead singers. Rolling Stones, Areosmith, Radiohead...I know its a matter of opinion and I think thats the whole point of this thread; Whats attractive to one person may not be to the next person.

BTW...I always thought Cobain was hot...but I was only 14 at the time.

No sarcasm intended... why would it be?

Being 'attractive' is subjective.

One person's ugly is another's beautiful. There are people in this world who strive for attention to make themselves feel better constantly... it's quite sad really. Is being considered 'attractive' by all and sundry all it's cracked up to be? Surely as long as you have someone who loves you it shouldn't matter what you look like. You could have a hunch back, broken teeth and one eye lower than the other, so long as the person in your life thinks the sun shines out your arse, it doen't matter... who else is there to impress?

I'm a firm believer that if you're a beautiful person, it'll show on the outside... Ugly however, no matter how much make up you wear, how airbrushed your pictures are or which twat cut your hair, goes RIGHT to the bone.

We're all brainwashed into thinking what's attractive and what's not anyways... oh the joy of the media :roll:

and for the record, I think Mark Lanegan is quite good looking

I live in south FLA where being attractive is all that's important to A LOT of people. Fake boobies, tons of makeup, 17 inch high heels, and all that matters to a lot of people is what kind of car you drive or how big your house is. It's really sad to see sometimes.

Funny thing is, there are still a lot of cool people and down to earth places to go, but a funny experience I had a few weeks back: I went to my local hangout, Harrys Banana Farm (no, not a gay bar, just a funny owner of a local bar), and I see friends and aquaintances drink pabst blue ribbon for $2 a can. Then I wen tto meet a friend I hadnt seen in awhile at a place where beer in a can is apalling (sp?) and a shitty import is like $8. Anyways, any of the girls who are half attractive or busting out of their clothes get men to buy them all their drinks all night long. I always wondered what it would be like to go out one night and leave the wallet at home and expect (yesm, they expect it!) to be taken care of all night. it's kinda sad.

When you have a great rack, tight ass, and long perfect legs, you'll find out

Haha! I'm working on my man-boobs!
I have no ass, but I heard about ass implants.
I do have long legs...so I guess it's a start. But i refuse to shave 'em.

I find the "alternative girl" extremely hot for some reason. :oops:
I can't really explain it or describe it. I guess it's like a "personality look" sorta thing.

For example: Mia Wallace character, former-MTV VJ Kennedy, Drew Barrymore in the 90's, Thora Birth in GhostWorld, Cat Power, and definitely Gwen in the 90's(still smoking hot today)...

well that's exactly it..everyone has their own idea of what attactive is or what they are attracted too. It's a personal preference. But Im sure every guy would agree someone like Charlize Theron is beautiful. :P

I don't think I'm attracted to any of Charlize Theron's characters. But yeah, she has a pretty face.

I know that's really fucking weird that I'm more attracted to an actress' character than her in real life.
So ladies if you want to win over LongRD's heart you better be in character...

:? ....Does that mean I like role-playing?
