Do you think it is always arrogant or conceited to think you look attractive?

Question

Or can it also be confidence? should we always play down how we think we look to not appear conceited?

Nah, I think im attractive. I used to be very insecure bout my looks coz the quality of the iphone camera i used to take selfies with was shitty af and highlights all the bad stuff on my face. But guys called me "cute', "pretty" "hot" "sexy" and "beautiful" and i became more confident. As long as you dont degrade anyone cuz of their looks, ur good

KittygosMeoWW · Accepted Answer

No, I think people should be happy about how they look even if they have to work on something, they should always love themselves.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Oh god no, certainly not always! One of the many lessons my parents have taught me that has so far proven true, is that when dealing with human behavior is that there is no such thing as always, or never! Their exact quote was “you should avoid using, and usually doubt, all-inclusive and all-exclusive statements about human beings… especially when involving human behavior!
I believe that I am an attractive woman. The problem comes when someone believes that their attractiveness makes them BETTER than others’! Let’s be honest, who ever believed the pretty girl or the gorgeous hunk when they said “oh no, I’m not attractive, look at me” (as they list off clearly false beliefs about their looks)?
As long as someone has a healthy ego, and understands that while beauty will fade, arrogance and stupidity is forever, and keep that ego in check, never forgetting that there will always be someone more attractive than them (which doesn’t matter), therefore their “beauty” over others’ is equally irrelevant, then I believe that someone can be attractive, yet be neither conceited nor arrogant!

Espresso-Grande · Answer

No it's not. Lots of people accuse others of being a narcissist if they admit they know they're attractive or if they post pics of themselves online.

The way I see it, it's better to have that mindset than to have little or no self-self-esteem. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with knowing and admitting you're attractive.

I don't think anyone should belittle themselves or hold back from admitting they are attractive , if a situation arises to talk talk about they're appearance. People always try to knock down people with confidence and high self-esteem.

electromagnetic · Answer

No way. How can I expect anyone else to remotely think I’m attractive if I can’t get myself to think the same way to begin with. Beside, memes on the internet say

loves2learn · Answer

No. Not always. Confidence can be sexy. And it’s different from being cocky.

BlueWalker · Answer

I think it's completely okay to feel attractive and to recognize that other people see you that way. It's only conceited when someone feels self-important and is narcissistic, shallow, vain and arrogant, or they force their perceived self-importance onto other people, or attempt to belittle/demean/degrade others in order to classify and separate people they perceive as "below" or "inferior" to them, simply based on the shallowness of vanity.

However, if you are genuinely humble, inclusive and tolerant as a person, and don't seek to classify people as "below" you, simply because of someone's looks, there is no problem with it at all. It's only when people walk around with a sense of arrogance and intolerance toward others that it crosses the line of indecency. It's very unbecoming as a person IMHO.

SamA_nold · Answer

You can think you're attractive, that's fine. It's people who think they are attractive and use that as an excuse to be rude and disrespectful to others that become arrogant

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

That's nothing wrong in being confident in your appearance.. It's when people are boastful about it or think that makes them better than others and treat other people condescendingly that it crosses the line from confidence to arrogance..

NoLookingAtSoleil · Answer

Let me put it this way - if you _are_ good looking but don't think it - quite a few people think you are a sucker.
So, no - I think it is perfectly fine to think you look the way you really think you look (there is no need to be arrogant or unapproachable, though - the latter, perhaps, when in a relationship - but still never a need to be arrogant (arrogance is a lack of confidence covered by a veneer of faked superiority)).
(Sometimes people think I say really smart things - I don't know if that is the case or not 🤷‍♂️; I only know me as being that way)

crazyish · Answer

No, as long as you don't flaunt it or use it knowingly. It can be considered confidence.

PaynefulPleasures · Answer

I guess if you got it flaunt it, of course I wouldn't dare 💞

menina · Answer

No, I wouldn't say it's always arrogant. Some people are indeed attractive and there's nothing wrong with admitting it. However, others think too much of themselves, they're not humble so in that case they're being arrogant.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I’m just me, fairly average, not what I would call attractive.

I am however accepting on how I am.

Now if I am arrogant about stuff, I really don’t care, that’s just me.

I am very much take me or leave me.

We should simply accept who we are, what we look like and the say fuck you world

NathanDavis · Answer

to think you're attractive is not arrogant no, especially when it is very true

to act like you're somehow better than others because of that, that's when it starts to become arrogant, it's when you attribute yourself and act upon with certain attitudes, that's misplaced confidence.

Azura_88 · Answer

It's conceit ONLY IF someone is mentioning their good looks CONSISTENTLY, with most topics and situations.

maceygirl · Answer

It's not arrogant to "think" you are attractive. But it is arrogant to rub it in others' faces and make them feel bad.

Goatmeal · Answer

I read a Sherlock Holmes short story recently where he's introducing Watson to his brother and says his brother is smarter than him. Watson is skeptical, but Holmes assures him that he is being honest, because he sees both bragging and false humility as pointless.

kidvid80 · Answer

no ones average anymore? im content with describing myself as average

Anonymous · Answer

Some people are always talking about how pretty/handsome they are. In my experience, those are usually the most painfully average.

candleteabrunch · Answer

Not always but often is
Hmm yes i feel so. I also have my own headshot as my phone wallpaper phone screensaver. I just love my appearance. Ironically i do not date women who look like me (gross be like dating my spitting image mother who i take after). I guess i am a feminine looking male facially a little. Sigh

... 🤔😆

Devlaw5 · Answer

If you think you look attractive, that’s your opinion. It’s in no way arrogant to have a positive opinion on how you look. It become arrogant when you assume someone else will think you’re attractive simply because you do. This also depends. If for example you know the likes and dislikes of someone you’re close to, assuming they’ll think you’re attractive based on what you know about them wouldn’t be arrogant. But assuming such with someone you don’t know can be very arrogant.

Aimée__LJ · Answer

Don't think so. Having confidence in how you look is important for your own mental well being.

karaspara · Answer

Nothing wrong with a bit of self confidence as long as you don't belittle other people

TsundereMatrix · Answer

It's good to love yourself and have confidence in yourself but overdoing it does make you look arrogant. I knew some guys that were like that. They thought they were so hot that they thought they could make any girl love them.

collie22 · Answer

everyone probably dose that at times. not a good thing to do

Anonymous · Answer

Its not arrogant unless you have a God complex or hold too much pride

Kaamraj · Answer

What's wrong in thinking and knowing that you are attractive; women do it all the time, check Instagram and Only Fans, many are monetizing beauty. Use all resources and leg ups you have in life. Life isn't fair and neither should you be.

Woman1 · Answer

I think it’s just confidence. Chances are you do look attractive and you are rocking that look!

IAMNathanael · Answer

I think it would be confidence. But being boastful and full of yourself I'd call arrogance. Thanks for inviting.

_Troian_ · Answer

Its better to feel arrogant than feeling like a loser cunt.

spartan55 · Answer

You NEVER proclaim you are attractive... it's always a bad look.

exitseven · Answer

It is conceited to thing that you are attractive. It is better to work on your character.

Rok4bakAR · Answer

Yes!!! It’s simple psychology whatever someone has they will always deny whatever someone lacks? They will always promote vocally!!

That’s why people show off so much on social media‘s because they have a massive lack of everything.

Anonymous · Answer

If you're attractive it's not conceited at all, I mean it's the truth right?  If you're not attractive though, it kinda is. I mean you kinda have to be a narcissist to think you're hot if you're not

XimenaV · Answer

It's not the knowledge or thought but how you act because of it

Anonymous · Answer

It's not arrogant it just shows you're confident, but if you try to act like you're better than everyone because of it then it's just mean and conceited.

moejoeloli · Answer

Not at all. As long as you’re not the one that keeps talking about it. Confidence is the true seduction power

anylolone · Answer

Almost never. Thinking you are hot (even when you aren't) isn't arrogant or conceited, thinking that entitles you to stuff is what's arrogant/conceited.

thathonestman · Answer

In some instances, yes. Depends on how far you are taking it. But then again there’s nothing wrong with that because the world today is built for narcisstic and arrogant people. You won’t get anything in life by not being self promoting.

Anonymous · Answer

To be honest, I clicked this question fast seeing the picture. That man looks damn handsome.

Answering the question, I can say that no it isn't always arrogant as thinking you look attractive gives you and boost of confidence and uplifts you but thinking you are superior to everyone just because you look good is arrogance

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Well, not always but I don't think I'm arrogant on my looks, I'm average looking guy

Anonymous · Answer

It depends on
If some one's constantly bragging about his/her looks, acting like a diva, thinking he's better than anyone else and making fun of other people's looks, then that's arrogance and it's also annoying

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I don't see how it would be arrogant, it's no different than finding anything else appealing.

cth96190 · Answer

No, it is called owning a mirror and having a brain.

EJlad · Answer

Believing you always and always will look better than everyone else, yeah it is. But in the area of balance for that no

WowwGirl · Answer

No especially if you got/get paid for your looks

A little, but it can be sexy too. I didn't think I'd like that quality, but I do.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

No, sometimes it can just be self-confidence.

mavrickmaestro · Answer
