Who has more often thought you were attractive? The opposite sex, or your own gender?

Have you been told that you're good-looking more from the opposite sex? Or your own gender? I've often had other guys think I'm not that good-looking and even joke about it, while it's more often been females to think I'm attractive.

Has it been this way for you? Or the opposite where more of your own gender thinks you're good-looking but less so from the other sex?

  • Interesting question... I tend to get "hit on" often by other guys who are obviously gay and I noticed that guys tend to "check me out" often when I get undressed before or after sporting events I attend like ice hockey or swimming. I am not gay and I don't really care if they do. I have been told I was attractive by women too (and not just my mom or sisters lol) I think this may be because I'm told I project a sort of sexual energy and I do have a particularly slim but muscular body from many years of martial training. I think that now that I'm older (59) there aren't many men my age with such chiseled body and it makes people stare regardless of gender but the guys are more obvious about it...

    • Dude! I've had some weird experiences like that too! Used to happen when I went to the gym.

  • Opposite sex but it's close. Male friends are way more likely to say something nice than a girl which is understandable when they don't want to seem flirty. But when I used to go out I got a lot of gay guys buying me drinks and stuff which is flattering. Gay guys are so nice, even when you say you're straight or they already knew they still get you a drink and are friendly. It's a plus as well having gay dudes around your girlfriend and female friends instead of drunk horny dudes hitting on them all

  • It's hard to say for sure, because the opposite sex isn't always super straightforward or vocal about finding someone attractive to their face.

    I think I've been told I was pretty/beautiful/etc. slightly more by girls than guys. Girls tend to be more open about complimenting each other, I think. I've also had a few guys tell me they thought I was cute, but they're usually not as quick to give compliments like that. If they think it and haven't directly said it to me, I'm pretty bad at picking up on that.

    More than anything though, it's been my own family that has gushed about how beautiful and grown up I am, lol!

  • I've had way more women than men tell me I'm attractive so... good grief not sure if that's a good or bad thing?

    At least females don't hit on me. If that happens then I'll be a little concerned, lol

    • Well, if dudes are hitting on you then they must think you're attractive! Lol.

    • Well that's the problem... guys aren't hitting on me so... :|

    • Oh. Well, you can't be that bad looking.

  • I feel that because I hang out with females more, I hear it from my girls more so than random guys that I'm pretty. However I have had male friends compliment me in saying that I'm a pretty face and take good care of myself in looking good. But it's often females that compliment me more.

  • The opposite sex

  • The male fo female ratio in my case is quite significant. A lot of males are attracted to me and the females get confused by it.

  • yuhikes. i am learning not to read what other people write first because it can influence your own true personal opinion so i am going to throw it out there - geesh! so to answer your question: equally. same number of men vs. women. and often at the same time (i didn't know what that was until a friend explained why that couple had gotten on the speakers with me to dance and why it happened a lot?) but ya. so i would say exactly 50-50?

    • If you don't read it you won't know all the details.

    • agreed. but i don't read through the comments until i leave my own opinion as i do not want anything influencing my gut reaction to something i have just read/interpreted. so i leave my opinion and then read through all of the comments to see if there is a point of view that i might have missed and for the most part, i understand and can agree with everyone's point of reference. if that makes any sense?

    • I do the same thing with that too, yeah.

  • I think it is a mix of both, however, I've NEVER been insulted about my appearance by a guy, but I've been insulted many times about my appearance by girls though. But the thing about being insulted by your own gender, is that it is hard to tell if they find me unattractive or they are just jealous of how I look and want to put me down lol

    But, I still get a lot of compliments from both gender though so it is quite equal. Maybe a little bit more from men.

  • The opp sex. Same sex be hatin

    • I feel you

  • I guess both

  • Straight so only find men attractive.
    I can see a woman would look attractive to others, but they'll never be to me.

    • Sorry thought question asked who I thought was more attractive.

    • And to be fair with that only had makes say anything to me like that. Thank God.

  • I get more women commenting on my looks. Everything from hair (the curls) to eyes (grey-green) to cheekbones (they're high) to the skin tone (I tan lightly but never burn). I had one woman comment I have the most striking eyes she's ever seen.

    I don't get a lot of men doing this (they have but it's like 4 to 1 women vs men ratio) but guys certainly have no issue hitting on me (even a dress blouse & pants is enough to turn heads).

  • I hear it more from girls, but that’s good for me since I’m a lesbian.

    • Agreed.

  • Typically more men approach me to compliment me, however I like it better when girls do. There’s less pressure and it feels genuine and NOT like they’re just trying to get me to sleep with them.

  • Men. Women seem to have issues with me xD
    I mean I know that it can awkward to compliment your own gender but I see them doing it to other women. I try to think positive by thinking maybe I am just not their type.

  • Both

  • If I really think hard about it, it's kinda hard to tell or a toss up since I've been getting compliments from both genders throughout my life.

  • I have been told this from the opposite sex far more often

  • Heck if I know, I don't attract that much attention from anyone. Been that way since I was a kid.

  • Well, every lesbian/bi girl I ran into ALWAYS had the most biggest crush on me. I didn't run into a lot of lesbian/bi girls, so it's mostly guys

  • My own gender

  • No one ever told me i am good looking 😂

  • Definitely more from the opposite sex.
