Can you really gauge your own attractiveness to the other gender?

I had a real bad moment the other day. Just for fun I tried out a “toon me” AI app. I uploaded one of my pics and the AI results based on my facial structure looked really bad and embarrassing. Haven’t felt that self conscious about my looks in a long time.

However I’ve gotten to the age where I usually don’t think much about my own looks anymore. We all know a women judge men on a ton more attributes (especially money and social status) as long he is at a 5 out of 10.

But looks still matter. They still matter a whole heck a of a lot. A good looking can approach a woman and joke with her and he’s ”cute and funny”. An average looking guy could do the exact same thing and he’s “creepy”. He’s got to absolutely knock it out of the park with his looks and charisma. He gets a lot less leeway. And many women nowadays will act and speak on their first impulse that crosses their mind. They don’t think twice as much as they used to e. g. labeling an unattractive guy “creepy” just because he said hello.

When I was younger I always been surprised in both directions when it came to physical looks. I’ve had women who I for sure would find me attractive not find me attractive at all. Then I’ve had women who I thought were completely out of my league surprisingly show interest. I have moments where I threw caution to the wind and pulled it off.

Anyway are we really good at gauging at where we stand with the other gender? I think women are better at this than men are.
