[Closed] Do you think you’re attractive? (Serious thread)

I remember Mark Radcliffe saying that If you're a bloke over the age of 40, then as far as society is concerned, you're effectively invisible

Suits me just fine, that 😀

Turns out not to be true.

The ladies in the changing rooms of the local sports centre quickly disavowed me of that notion.

Does the restraining order mention your handsomeness?

Apparently I tick all the boxes. looks, voice, girth, length etc.

Doesn't count for much as I'm happily married and she still wont let me get a new bike.

At 41 I am not good looking and tbh never have been. On the plus side think I am ageing well compared to some of my old school chums.

My best mate is a good looking bloke. When we were in our early twenties he pulled most nights much to the dismay of the rest of us

Them = cougar or you = [s]pervert[/s] lost?

Them = cougar or you = pervert lost?

Me = Not quite as invisible as Radcliffe would have me believe

Is Disappoint.

I have briefly dabbled with being a male model. I was "Middle Aged Commute Man" which earned me a free neck warmer. There have been no offers since.

I'm alright from the shoulders down

I'm alright from the ankles down.

Yep, as a 50 year old I would say I would rank very highly - look around 40 and in very good shape (healthy vegetarian diet since 16 and cycling since 5)

However, once you bring in younger people then I am out.

+1.

took my parents to their local a few years back, they point blank refused to believe that a guy at the bar was in my class. he looked early 50s.

I think he'd been at that bar a lot in the 10 years since we left school. 😯

Lots of different types of good looking blokes to be fair. Ive had very few man crushes, but this was my biggest!:

Crikey - I have a close resemblance to BoardinBob - with more hair.

I do have a bodyshape that unfortunately retains my sporting history. I'm of average height and build, but have retained my "toned muscular" upper body & thighs from Rugby, yet do have skinny calves and drawn face from cycling/training. However, I'm let down by a slight stoop from a former broken vertebrae, odd mannerisms, a monotone voice, and one of those sense of humour's which some people "just don't get". I also apparently have a naivety toward women which has been termed "endearing" by more than one. Before I was married I literally fell into relationships I didn't realise I was having 😀

I feel much better for finally getting that out after 45 years.

....duuude *shakes head*

I know, sorry. That comes from me mistakenly leaving my web cam on after a conference call, then jumping on the turbo. I used that pic/clip for my FB pic, as I don't have anything more impressive and I don't rate myself to stick just my face up in public.

Er, did I miss the question that this is answering??

Just wanted everyone to know what they were up against when they were posting pics of themselves possibly hoping for admiring comments! 🙂

I'm short, with a tendency to gain weight, have a stupid round face and a horrible nose - when I was little, it used to upset me and I really wanted plastic surgery from the age of 9. My first boyfriend once said that he "tried to see past the way [I] look and focus on [my] personality".

Still, as my mom said, I'm lucky to be plain, as "you won't regret losing your looks as you get older as much". (She was Miss Pelsall 1960).

Mr Toast fancies me, but he's weird. Gorgeous, funny, but weird.

🙄 That is a very poignant post Mrs Toast! 😐

In reality Mrs Toast, the only thing that matters is the last bit.

And we all love you, obvs!

I'll freely admit that I'm punching way above my weight with Mrs Binners - she's gorgeous - and I don't know how the hell I've managed it. Not that I'm complaining 😀

Solid 4 here i reckon on a good day. I have a misshapen head like Kryten, shit teeth, balding, bad skin, big nose,...

Form an orderly cue ladies.

i never thought so before however one of my collagues likened me to "eustace" from mountain men.

i had to google that .

how ever once i did i reckoned that put me firmly in the no catagory

Anyone else look in the mirror and think, ai, not bad, but then has a photo taken immediately after where you look like shreks warty nose? I really have no idea how that happens

Honestly? No. Stupid bags under my eyes make me look permanently knackered, crap ton of stress, heartache, depression and anxiety has aged me over the last 6 years, but still don’t quite look my age - I’m 40 in 2 months, today I got told I look early 30’s.

I’ve always ‘batted’ well out of my league, no idea how I do it..... No, not a humble brag! Genuine astonishment.... Mind, I’m nearly 40, single, so doesn’t say much about me

Sadly over the last 19 months I’ve had all self esteem and self confidence taken from me thanks to the ex, so i’ll rate myself 1.5/10 on a good day.

A few years back my female boss was told by one of the girls in the office that she reminded her of someone. Oh she said, smiling and preening....who?

After some thought, she said...I know, Jo Brand!!

The temperature in the office dropped a few degrees right there! 😀

Reminds of the time Mrs Trailwagger asked what I rated her out of ten. She went ballistic when I said 7.5! I thought that was a good score, how wrong was I.

Not rating myself- not for me to.
The OH flutters her eyelids on a regular basis, goes “phwoar” a lot and grabs my arse in public.
Seeing as she’s a genuine hottie (as in blokes walking into things and other women looking too) I’m doing something right 8)

That is very funny trailwagger.......how quickly we learn eh? 😀

When I'm at my worst, this is the way I think I look:

[img] [/img]

That's exactly the image I had of you in my head Saxon rider.

Overall I'm pretty average but I have some good bits - tall, blonde (ahem), decent rack, nice skin. All offset by a big bum, big nose and some solid thighs 😆

I am definitely punching, though - husband is a solid 9 and could probably be a model.

I love a good group photo when I’m it. I’m that pale that it looks like a haunting is taking place. I might start dressing in olde time clothing to add to the effect

Show yourselves 🙂

Go on, go on, go on........

@dumbbot

Their is someone climbing up the side of your head,,,, imagine the size of your balls 😉

That's exactly the image I had of you in my head Saxon rider.

me too! 🙂

In my more accurate image, he's wearing a funny hat.

I used to think I was ugly, but looking back at old photos, face wasn't that bad.
Now I'm grey and the wrong side of 55, I would say 3/10 ( for my age). You might as well be a piece of dog poo on a bridle way after hitting 45 as a female.

Got some great male and female friends though, who aren't into looks and accept me for who I am.

Houns - I've seen a photo of you, you're a 9/10

I'm a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2

I think I am a solid #2.
My mates call me Dowie , As I resemble Ian Dowie the footballer / manager.
I avoid mirrors where possible.
Plus points .- flat stomach
Negatives.- Ginger , balding , bad posture , big ears , wonky nose.

might explain the 20 years of singledom

I've never had a particularly high opinion of the way I look. Looking back over old photos I wasn't a bad looking kid, wish I'd known that at the time.

Now mid 40s and a skinny Northern wretch. Full head of hair though and most of my own teeth (and no-one else's) so that's a win I suppose.

Someone mentioned earlier about there being a difference between being beautiful and being attractive, and I think that's bang on the money. I've known ladies who are stunningly beautiful but as attractive as a hole in the head, and ones who were pretty plain looking but sexy as all hell. I don't doubt the same is true of us guys.

Them = cougar or you = [s]pervert [/s]lost?

I can attest that I wasn't there letching at PP.

Aye, sounds familiar.

Nooooooo - I thought 45 was prime time!
