What would you say if someone ask to rate/give opinion about their appearance honestly?

Question

Will you rate them honestly just like what you see or feel? Or will you just give them answers to make them happy? Because some people get upset when we give them honest answers.

Normally I'll be honest but there are some exceptions. For example, if my SO had a dress, I hated for example, but they loved wearing and had sentimental value I'd lie because the dress is important to them emotionally.

Most of the time though I try to be polite and what I do is I give my criticisms as politely as possible, but I also make sure to point out what's working, and I find appealing. I also won't just say "Your hair doesn't look good. I'll say something like. "Your eyelashes are too long for you right now but if you grow out your hair and let it hang lose it would make them pop instead."

I Basically I try to mix in critics with compliments, but I also like to provide Ideas of what I think might help because otherwise it just feels like you're being negative, and I wouldn't want my partner to feel ugly or insecure. I'd feel awful if I did. I don't like making criticisms without presenting possible solutions if I can.

I'm just honest and don't try to sugar coat it. In fact I prefer to be mean because it's like a position of power compared to when I legit give a compliment and they just spit in my face and shit on me for it.

So my rating/opinion is legit af, and a bit on the mean side usually. I do go back to baseline if they give me a legitimate boner though. Still honest, but damn I really want to smash. I try to keep the smashing part out of conversation though but it gets really hard. I'm talking like pulsating and shooting pre-cum kind of hard.

I would be straight up and tell them before they showed me that I would go out of my way to insult them for whatever I could find. And then when they still say “okay” and I roast them, they get upset like I wasn’t up front with them. If you give me the opportunity to make your insecurity worse, I fully intend to do it bc external validation is the worst possible way to address that

NoDecision · Accepted Answer

The question is, will they take it with grace, or will they get pissed off if I am brutally honest and say what I think. My premise is, if you don't want to hear the truth, then why are you asking for their honest opinion? But yes, if they want my honest opinion they will get it, 100%.

Blunky · Answer

Honest answers are the only way to grow, for both the people giving and receiving the answer.

You get to see how honest answers affect people, and learn how to deliver it with more tact.

You get to know what people really think of you and you can work on yourself with that information.

It's a win/win for everyone by being honest rather than the short lived good feeling of white lies.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

I'd give them honest feedback if they specified that's what they wanted. If that's what they asked for, I would hope that they would be prepared to listen to it without getting upset. Depends on the context. You can only really rate the appearance of somebody you don't know (at least that's the case for me). Otherwise my view will be heavily influenced by what I think of your personality.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Honest, but if there is nothing nice to say then nothing at all. Also use words wisely for instant she maybe cute so I tell her that however there is reason why I didn't call her pretty. Whether she wants to figure that out on her own is up to her.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I would give them my honest opinion. Especially if I thought the outfit they had on didn't do them any favors. Why? Because that's what I'd want someone to tell me before I made a fool of myself.

People who won't tell you the truth are not worth having around you. They're useless.

If you can't take honest constructive feedback from someone trying to help you, you aren't worth having around.

Online I would always tell them the 100% truth. In person, if a person asked me it would depend on how well I know them and if I think they really want the truth or are they too soft to handle it. If I think they're soft/playing games I will avoid answering. So I wouldn't lie but I wouldn't tell them what I really think either. With my wife I always told her 100% truth. But we have that kind of relationship.

glennos89 · Answer

Personally I try to avoid these questions because many woman can't handle the truth really well. Ofcourse not every woman is like that and some are capable of handling the truth but often feelings will get hurt if man are brutally honest

SamIam96 · Answer

I'd do it. I've had fun doing it before. It's not a big deal to be kind. Some people seem to enjoy being rude. They would probably be jerks if you asked.

HawkPerception · Answer

I would give them my honest opinion about their attraction level. I would clarify to them that my opinion is not everyone's opinion.

Shiprex · Answer

Honest opinion as I have zero fashion sense or interest but will tend to be generic polite so as to avoid being pressed or specific.

KittygosMeoWW · Answer

I hate rating people because I’m so average looking, but I’d give an honest opinion about things I found attractive in them or what they needed to work on.

DJB72 · Answer

Most people get upset when your answer is honest... Doesn't stop me.

HungTexan · Answer

I’d be honest. It’s the only fair thing to do.

MikeRJ · Answer

I would answer honestly-ish. In other words, I wouldn't tell an ugly person she was beautiful, but I wouldn't say "ugly" either. I would soften the blow, if that makes sense.

Joshydavid25 · Answer
