Do you think it's arrogance if a person considers himself good looking?

Question

I feel like most people who know they're good looking don't want to admit it because they're afraid of looking arrogant. I also think that most people would consider it arrogance. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with thinking that as long as you're not be too arrogant and saying you look better than someone else or something

Thinking that you're attractive is fine as long as you keep it to yourself but I consider it bad habit to walk around and tell people that you're attractive. The same goes for intelligence.
As a metaphor: in Korean there are suffixes you add to other people's names to express your respect for them ("-nim" or "-shi"). In Japanese this also exists ("-san"). They are often translated as "Mr" or "Ms" but they actually mean something along the lines of "honorable xy". Now, while it is considered very important to add these suffixes to other people's names, it's considered extremely rude to add them to your own name. Maybe you think of yourself as important or honorable but you would never go around and say this to other people. Personally, I find this humility east Asian cultures preach very likable. Compliments are generally something for other people, not for oneself.

It depends on how people show it. Some people come off as showing off, and will purposely start showong off. While others will admit that they think they look attractive (and they might or might not look attractive.) I have a lot of friendz that are attractive but will humbly admit it if they take a compliment. Really sorry if this dsnt make any sense i just woke up from a 2 hr nap😂. It is 7:30 pm.

Nope. Arrogance is actually overestimating yourself rather than accepting the fact that you're attractive. Accepting and knowing that you're attractive simply makes you confident.
Example-- confident: "I look great today."
arrogant: "I look so good today nobody could resist me, all the girls want to be with me and all the boys want to be me. I'm a gift of hotness sent from heaven."

Only if they behave in a narcissistic way.

If a person knows they are attractive then it shows they have self- worth. I'd never try to lower a person's self-esteem. It's important to value yourself and your own appearance , as long as you have humility too

HOAAH · Answer

it's only arrogance if he thinks he is better looking than EVERYONE else and treats other DIFFERENT than he treats himself.
Other than that, it is ok to think you are good looking. Because everyone can have that opinion about themselves, there's no problem with it. The problem comes when you treat OTHERS different like they are less than human.

RJGraveyTrain · Answer

No. I think being a shithead and acting better than others is arrogant, but being confident in your appearance isn't.

Mt144 · Answer

Yeah there is nothing wrong with that. When i first came here I asked one question about how do I look? With 4 pictures of mine. That was all I didn't write anything else. Guess what happened? Anonymous attack! They blamed me for being arrogance, douchebag, straight asshole.. It isn't about your behaviour and things you say.. My advice don't give a shit about what people thinks about you. Do and say whatever you think. I'm a little off topic sorry about that lol

Sami365 · Answer

I think its a good kind of arrogance; a healthy one. One that says you like yourself how you are, even if others don't have the same opinion on the topic.

Goldilocks24 · Answer

Personally, I think anyone who places themselves above others is self centered. It is completely fine to think of yourself as being good looking, but there is a time and a place for bragging about your looks.

ThisDudeHere · Answer

In my opinion, it is arrogance when you think you are good looking.
But if you think you are *better looking than you were before that (say, after working out), then that is confidence but not arrogance.

dragonfly6516 · Answer

"I look good!" = confidence  "I deserve ____ because I look good." Or "I know I look better than _____." = arrogance

Shawn58 · Answer

I dont know attractiveness is complicated thing I guess I consider myself good looking but that's because that's what I'm told I don't know so I wouldn't say I'm arrogant about it, I mean I have said conceded things before but I kike a lot so I would say things like that but arrogant I'm not

2100Pink · Answer

there is a huge difference between confidence and arrogance. Nobody by nature is arrogant I think it's just the wrong way they present themselves. And yes I find those highly annoying and tend to avoid them

Sorenome · Answer

When I look in the mirror I like what I see. I don't think it's arrogance, just my honest opinion. But you can be arrogant about it. If I were to think I'm somehow better than someone else because of that then it would be arrogance.

HappypersonT · Answer

It's arrogant if one constantly thinks about it. Confident if they are just comfortable with how they look as they are but don't look in the mirror for more than a glance a day.

writing_essays · Answer

Not unless you act like your better then others because of their looks - you are beautiful but they are too - as long as you think like that - feel free to love yourself.

UnknownReflection · Answer

Screw society's stupid standards.  I live for myself, i achieve for myself, i love myself and i am good looking. Prob anyone?  I don't need people's approval to look good.

menina · Answer

No, I don't think so. It shows they have an high self-esteem. However, if you're always saying you're good looking or if you think you're superior because of that, then I would say you're arrogant.

Lopezz1999 · Answer

Hell no. I like to jokingly consider myself to be the sexiest man on the planet to show great confidence. When you feel entitled to things just because of your looks though.. that's a different story

Kuraj · Answer

Acknowledging your qualities is not arrogant, it is confident.
Having to tell others about your qualities though is lame and insecure, if you are really confident you know those people already acknowledge your qualities.

No, that's confidence. Arrogance is thinking you're better looking than everyone else.

lucasnabizada · Answer

Well no... It's self appreciation. But if that's all a person ever thinks about, then yea... They're potentially shallow

bente2 · Answer

Depends. There's a fine line between self-love/awareness and arrogance.

Anonymous · Answer

I think that I unconsciously judge people when they admit to think they're good looking but once that initial reaction goes away I think it's pretty okay. It's cool to appreaciate your looks.

alice55 · Answer

Lot of people think it's arrogance so instead they said they look ok.

Confidence is "I am beautiful", Arrogance is "I am the most beautiful"

Considering yourself good looking is arrogant. You let other people be the judge of it.

No unless he keeps announcing it. It is important that you see yourself as beautiful but just keep it to yourself.

JCT666 · Answer
