Do You Feel As Pretty As People Tell You You Are?

[CrazyGirl2]

Oh dear God, NO! people tell me that I’m beautiful all the time, but I just don’t see it! (Truly)
I mean I guess I’m cute, but the way people go on you’d think I was a freaking supermodel...
And THAT I am most definitely NOT!
(I just figured out that this is a no win scenario... if I say no, then people here will say that I’m just fishing for compliments! But, if I said yes then those same people will turn around and call me I’m conceited! Sometimes I honestly wish that I was a male! I know that some individuals will judge guys based on their looks, but society as a whole does not routinely judge a man’s value based on his looks, like they do with US! I would SO rather be appreciated for my high IQ than my looks!

[CurlyGirl42]

Often not.. I think most people exaggerate, just a bit at least. Friends and family want to be nice, and men obviously want you to know they are attracted to you.. often I get a compliment if I say something I do not like so much about my looks (my grey hairs, small wrinkles), in those cases it seems like people just want to make you feel better, while I just want to acknowledge my flaws so it does not help me xP.
I do not put much into it. If I do not feel pretty myself that day I say thanks and move on. If I actually do feel like I look extra good that day it gives some boost, a confirmation that I was right when I judged myself in the mirror earlier ;D

[Cataphract]

When people say i'm attractive, i just give a sly smile and say "thanks, i know". Yes, yes, cocky. But people like different things so some will find me insanely attractive and others will think i'm average. Honestly i never thought about it at all, i just do my best to act as a conscious grownup.

[NyceGuyFinishingLast]

I have never been considered pretty... lol. I have been told that I am handsome, good looking and sexy. But when I look in the mirror I see someone that I don't think they would be happy about being seen with. I always think that they could do better.

[chevymcgthatsme]

People say iam beautiful gorgeous pretty but sometimes its not really what I see in the mirror but I have been reading a confidence book on how to feel confident in every way if people tell u u are beautiful pretty lovley then say thanks but of u get a vibe that it feels wrong what they are saying jst forget it to me sometimes I can sence jealousy nd so will every other girls have some people live there self to much out of preprorstion sort of type they are use to to much attention on how they look and dress tht when u get it told to you they get jealous because it's not being said to them nd if u feel and see it in them that they are lying fk them u and ure gut know when u are right

[19magic]

I can't say I have I view myself as a 6 maybe a 7/8 if I dress up and do everything curl my hair, makeup, pretty dress etc but I've always viewed myself as average. Yet most guys iv ebeen attracted to have liked or dated me back and many of my guy friends have liked me when I never even flirted with them and got super weird around me, so there must be something good about me but it beats me lol

[AliceTheNguyener]

I've been told I'm pretty even now from strangers when I go out, and I'm Asian lol so I was rather expecting people to stay away from me because of the Covid prejudice. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, and I think that's the case for most people.

[Moonlovespirit]

Yes because I’m loyal, honesty, dedicated, confidence, motivated, inspiration to others, humble, and engaging. People opinions don’t hold any space in my life enough to even care about what they say or think of me. I’m beautiful and I know it. I feel pretty everyday and wake up knowing I’m me.

[Cherokeehp]

Nope not at all. I feel like a below average looking girl, but people don’t treat me that way. Despite how I feel about myself I do have pretty privilege and a constant stream of men throwing themselves at my feet. So somehow people must find me attractive.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Well no one ever calls me pretty, cute, hot, or sexy so...🤔

I feel okay I guess!

I wish more people would compliment me, but at the same time, then I'd probably feel pressured to look as good as they assume I do, so maybe it's better being average looking, lol.

[CubsterShura]

I get mixed comments. I think I am fairly good-looking but some people may find a thing or two about me to be dealbreakers. So like, suppose you have like, 10 good qualities and two that are undesirable to some people, 12 in total. Some people think those two cons outweigh all the prod and others think they are not a big deal.

[lucas262]

Nope, probably because my hair has thinned so much in the middle. And my teeth need work, and I need more gym now that the extra 20 lbs is coming off.

I never thought I was particularly good looking then again Ik when I look good I look damn good so.

Anyone can't improve their natural assets.

[Jjpayne]

I've rarely been called cute in person 😔 but I think I've been called cute on here... 🤔 I guess I don't hear often enough to have meaning 🤷 but I do hear that I don't look my age so I guess that's something 🤔

[ShadezMcgee]

Nope, been fugly since I was born. Dad said I looked like Yoda when I came out. I have always been cute. Only called handsome by family.

I would not register on the majority of women's radar back when I was single. If women didn't think I looked good enough then, there's my answer.

[flamiE]

No lol if I’m having a bad day no one can ever make me feel pretty and if I’m feeling myself even someone picking on me can’t ruin that lol so at the end of the day I guess it’s all about how I feel about myself in that moment.

[___nik]

people tell me i'm pretty very often and i get a lot of compliments on the way i look, but i can't really accept them for some reason and always have that feeling that everyone is lying. i think later i'll feel pretty, but i'm in that stage of life where i'm still insecure.

[DizzyDesii]

No which is why i dont take compliments well. Like if you’re gonna compliment something, do it quickly and go on about your day. I hate a lingering compliment where they keep repeating themselves. Make it even more so unbelievable

[girlzruleboyzdrool]

I get told I'm pretty, or cute very often but I actually am shy and lack confidence. I'm 39 and often am told I look about 25.
Someday I feel like I'm pretty and some days I don't
I'm not an arrogant person and feel I'm down to earth

[OmNomaly]

Nah, I don't trust compliments like that. I'll say thank you. But I absolutely will not believe something like that.
It's not something I really even here outside of family. "handsome, good looking"

Then again I am a dude. We don't get very many compliments.

[Bella_Iris]

To be honest, no not really... but I know that I am in a humble, simple way. (By the way I absolutely LOVE this movie!!! I think every young woman needs to see this!!!)

[CuteNerd9]

No, I honestly don't. I often wonder if what I see in the mirror is even a close resemblance to what other people see. That, or I assume people are just being overly nice.

[Newhead]

Hell fkn no, pretty people don't actually feel pretty they just learn that they are depending on how long they've been alive and wait for the mythical benefits they're promised.

[Elliegirl]

Most of the time, yes. Some days, I feel like I look like a freaking supermodel. Other days, I look in the mirror and think I look like a hot mess lol

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Haha, you clearly drink more than Johnny from Cobra Kai does.No, I don’t. I’m sure a lot don’t. But for those of you who do... congratulations on an optimal conclusion.

[Shark_61695]

Yes... not at all :)

I'm terrible at receiving compliments but at least they are only ever about my mind, not my looks. I'd think they were lying if someone complimented my looks.

[Jemini_Crocket]

I feel less attractive than people tell me but I only get compliments online, rarely in real/in person and when that happens it's mainly women complimenting me haha

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Usually, I do. But, some people overdo their compliments to me which makes things feel awkward.

[Bluemax]

Yes...https://www.youtube.com/embed/RgHtBxOs4qw

[psychoticanimallover]

I feel far more gorgeous than people tell me I am. I get a lot of insults from jealous people telling me I’m the ugliest human to walk the earth, but I know I am drop dead stunning plus some.

[Trooper205]

I do. It's very nice of people I see to compliment my appearance. My Lover does it most of all. It's very thoughtful, and it really does make me feel special.

[GeekyChick]

I feel prettier when someone tells men that I get no rise I know I’m pretty far more than pretty. I just am saying thank you for acknowledging my beauty at this point. I hope I’m not sounding arrogant😭

[Avicenna]

Wel, Brains, you’re pretty, and you know it.
in answer to your question, yes, I feel that I’m attractive.

[Erin19]

I dont cause when someone says it I think they want something

[karolaga]

I'm I'm okay with myself now. But I struggled with insecurities. I can pass as attention seeker or someone who is desesperate for validation. But I guess that's part of the process of accepting yourself and feeling pretty.

[humanearth]

Oh hell yeah. My ego never needs a boost. Im too sexy for my shirt

[krin_m]

I really don't pay attention to what people think. I do make sure that I'm always in good shape and not look shabby!

[COMMODOREII]

Yeah lol

[Alexalex92]

Yeah, james blunt :P

[douchecannoue]

I struggle with this lol I mean is it to cringe to post a pic and see what people actually think of me? I've been described as good looking but also been described as ugly

[_no_one_]

Nope lol but it's sweet of them help me feeling less insecure ig.

[zagor]

[Eleni079]

I do I work at it. The yoga daily. My friend she does my hair, another does my nails. Part of it is for work when I was working.

[JKingOff]

Yeah, this has been a talking point for me for a while now on a lot of my posts. Ladies, you could stand to compliment guys a little bit more. Seriously, it feels more than just a little one-sided on the gender ratio.

[douride2]

Like most I am only average. I do get told otherwise sometimes though.

[loveslongnails]

I can't remember ever being called pretty, and it's been ages since someone called me handsome! LOL

[newfreshstart]

I dont like my breasts too small

i have been told i'm cute by a few women i dont see it

[Anonymous]

people say I’m pretty but I think I’d be a lot prettier if I believed it myself. Confidence is key

[Dsg1193]

No because most people tell you that to feel better about yourself lol

[BackAgain602]

No, I can't see what they see--lol. But it is always nice to receive a compliment.

[GoldenTulip]

It depends on the day , sometimes i do something i don't ^^

[Anonymous]

No not at all. I get complimented all the time but I don’t let it go to my head.

[AlexDeLarge]

I often get told I look far younger than my years. I'll take that compliment

[Bang5luts]

Yes! Even though I don't get told I am pretty that God! Lol..

[bklynbadboy1]

Well I'm a guy so I don't think I'm pretty at all but you should answer that question

[Paul09]

I blush when a woman compliments me. It's rare. I have married woman say I'm good looking. But does that even count? Are they telling the truth or being "nice"?

[MecheD]

Sadly no I move based on action and it’s always a contradiction.

[the_sinner]

That’s the thing.
No one has ever told me that I’m pretty 😅😅

[pikachu337]

I wouldn’t believe if people told me that I am pretty.

Lol. Is "Pretty" can even said to a man. It looks more like a feminine word.

[Anonymous]

People tell me I'm pretty a lot, but I don't think I am. Most beauty is internal anyways.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sometimes. Not always.

[Lliam]

Definitely. I love feeling pretty. LOL

[linds34]

Depends on what they say?

[MrsJaximus-Lion]

not one bit 😅 occasionally i do feel that way

[JoyGirl]

Meh
Depends on my mood. 🤪
