Are most People more attractive than they believe themselves to be?

Probably the opposite to be honest. So many fat girls think they are hot. So many girls with caked up makeup think they are hot. So many girls in general think they are hot. Id say if you average girls self rated opinions of themselves you would get an 8 lmfao because 5 is the actual average for the scale... so women are giving themselves a whole 3 extra points. Smdh.

Men i think are opposite. I mean i pull lots of girls hardly even trying most of the time so i know im good looking but i can't imagine rating myself more than a 7 but i get so many girls i feel like its a 9 treatment so i usually just say im an 8. I think guys who are a 5 or 6 who dont get much action are rating themselves a 2 based off not getting girls instead of a true objective view.

Not accurate. I think every girl doubts themselves and have very low self esteem because of the beauty standards for women. You might assume that they think that they are hot, but in reality most are insecure. We are our worst critics. Girls who cake themselves up with makeup usually has A LOT of insecurities.

[bamesjond0069]

@Fabrilia from a mans perspective, even me who has always had hot girl friends, i meet chunky caked up girls who tell me im ugly asf and not good enough to date. Wtf? I mean idc because that is gross a girl would even have that attitude if i was ugly so i just say dodged a bullet and date someone hotter anyway. But i think guys can attest to this. Lots of girls out there are like that.

[Fabrilia]

Then you must have met 1 in a million. Literally no girls that I know act like that. At least not in Norway🤷🏼‍♀️Girls are way more attracted to a good personality rather if you’re a 10/10 or not.

[Malwi93]

Well post a pic

[bamesjond0069]

@Fabrilia well i am in america and I've met a ton like this actually.

[Fabrilia]

Must be an American thing then. Makes sense.

[bamesjond0069]

@Fabrilia usually if a girl acts like she is hotter than she is i just tell her something like "damn i thought ugly girls had good personality but i guess not" or some shit like that but usually more tied to specifics and see if it pops their big balloon head. Sometimes yeah but often they just get pissy and then i ignore them.

[Fabrilia]

I mean there is nothing wrong with liking yourself. If you want to humble them, then there is nicer ways to do that. Nothing wrong with a girl with confidence unless you only like girls who bring themselves down.

[bamesjond0069]

@Fabrilia but confidence is earned. If you're fat you shouldn't be acting all snooty about how good you look. Thats rude asf. Why would i be nice to someone so rude?

[Unbeatable]

@Fabrilia you realize what that does. Makes humans look uglier over time. It really isn't virtuous of girls to prioritize personality (willingness to simp)

[Fabrilia]

@Unbeatable lmao that doesn’t change my mind. I’d rather be with someone who is kind and selfless rather than an absolute douchebag just because he’s hot. Nah. Looks aren’t everything

[Unbeatable]

@Fabrilia then stop doing your makeup

[Fabrilia]

@Unbeatable how does that relate to anything lmao

[Unbeatable]

@Fabrilia are you kidding

[Anonymous]

No. I think most people just don't want to admit the fuzziness. Even to themselves. So they walk around with the attitude. OK I'm not very attractive but at least I'm not ugly like THAT GUY over there. When the truth is he is more ugly than that guy over there.

[anon_teen]

I think im ugly, but I have been told im pretty and beautiful by a lot people. When I look in the mirror all I see are my insecurities tho... so maybe? I don't know

[Anonymous]

No. If anything, most people over estimate their attractiveness to the opposite sex, but underestimate how tolerant the opposite sex is of flaws.

You might be a 4 out of 10. You might be think you're an 8. You might think most women will never date a 4. But there's a few girls who wouldn't care that you're a 4, so long as you're well off, passionate about something, funny and have drive and ambition.

[mitchello]

People have a habit of finding imperfections in themselves while doing the opposite to others but what I found is if I’m feeling a certain way it will make me feel good about myself or I’ll find something I don’t like about myself I’m sure it’s the same with everyone to some degree, it’s all about how you feel that day

[Nikola321]

Definitelly yes, many say I look handsome and beautiful and stuff, while I think I am ugly.
Though, it's more true for females than males, Many females think themselves fat&ugly while most see them as very pretty.

[lakotabebebe]

I mean, girls will think they're too fat but honestly? Most girls look very pretty. They need to find that self love.

[lakotabebebe]

Goes for guys too! Most guys are very handsome, even if they call themselves ugly. A lot of guys miss their chance with girls because they think they're not good enough :(

[IraqLobster]

quite the opposite, some researchers believe that people have a way to convince themselves that they are better looking to get out of bed and continue living and when they look at the mirror they always try to find the better side/spots on their faces to gain confidence, ego is important to keep people going.

[slatyb]

Many are, some not as attractive as they believe. A friend once stated that she looked some years younger than her age but actually she had not aged well, mostly because of smoking.

[MCheetah]

No, I don't believe so. I think a good 80% of the population are between a 4 and a 6 (unattractive). Only like 5% of people can be called conventionally "attractive looking," if even that high.

[Malwi93]

Lol what 50 percent of girls r beautiful. For men it’s like 2 percrmt

[MCheetah]

@Malwi93
Why do lesbians always need to tell the world they're lesbians? Are they so used to "homophobe/troll fishing" or something, that they do it instinctively? I don't care who you like to f*ck, lady. Half of all women are not beautiful.

[ladsin]

If I recall there’s some research that shows it tends to be gendered. Men tend to overrate their attractiveness and women tend to underrate theirs

[Anonymous]

No. Women especially. A lot of really pretty girls don’t realize how beautiful they are. However, I feel like there’s this popular defense mechanism among unattractive women to think of themselves as the hot girls too when in reality... lol

[jshm2]

Put it this way:

Everyone is ugly to someone, but equally, everyone is beautiful to someone.

[BLMUSER]

I believe that's true for a lot of people. Many people live on social media and everywhere we look are attractive people. Soon we believe we are one of them.

[BentAssassin99]

People say I'm attractive. I really don't see it. I'm just an uggy skinny *****r in my eyes

[7771999]

Maybe. It is also somewhat subjective

I believe myself to be around a 6/10. I prefer to be as objective and blunt with myself

[ffddhugvfd]

People tell me I'm attractive all the time, but i just see myself as an ugly goat

[IraqLobster]

They just don't want you to feel bad.

[AdithyaR]

Well generally it's said that others see you as 20% more attractive than how you see yourself.

[WhiteWolf69]

I really think so. The more confidence I've gained in myself the more I'm getting flirted with by attractive women

[Anonymous]

No. Most people are very attractive, even more so than they realize.

[Opinion Owner]

I... Misread the question. I meant yes.

[CT_CD]

They're less attractive than they believe themselves to be

[Anonymous]

I believe they know they're attractive but most of em are just humble or try to be humble to not look like bad person... In the end being truly attractive it's gift from the god

[dpy87]

More like they aren't as ugly as they seem. People don't care about your perceived flaws.

[Avicenna]

I think a lot if women are
