43. I'm like you
I have had people tell me that I'm cute, I'm pretty or whatever...

but when I look at myself...I don't see it.

I'm so down on myself, I think I miss the hidden (or not so hidden) signs when a guy is flirting with me.

Oh well...

it's not my fault they can't be more blunt and to the point. how was i to know that shaking your ass at me was a sign of flirting..

oh sorry, I went off subject there....

26. I think I'm a good person.
That's who I try to be and how I identify myself. The rest is for others to decide.

I must say, though, that I find people whom I perceive to be genuinely _good_ very, very, very attractive.

34. Always should be an "other" option.
in this case for "used to be".

I was, 20 years ago. I guess it would work if you'd been trebucheted through a car window, or been defenestrated in some other fashion, also.

I'm as ugly as an armful of assholes.
Kids dress up as me for Halloween.
When I lie on the beach cats try to bury me.
When I was a kid my mom had to tie a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me.
I practice birth control by leaving the light on.
The other day I looked out the window and the cops fined me for mooning.

58. I'm probably what you'd call a "six packer."
The only thing I have ever been complemented on with any regularity would be that I have a decent level of intelligence.

I have a lot of enthusiasm, however, so maybe that makes up for my deficiencies.

It still surprises me when my husband says he thinks I'm beautiful; I'm glad I am to HIM, obviously...but I was a major greasy-haired, zit-faced geek in school and just can't think of myself in any other terms.

78. I voted "no" because I do not see myself as "traditionally attractive".
I'm well aware that I'm not dog-ugly, and I'm confident in myself -- which goes a long way to making a person attractive to the opposite sex. But I am not the traditional 36-24-36 with perfect features.

And to be honest, I'm grateful I'm not "traditionally attractive".

Plenty of men find me plenty sexy, but I don't get chased, wolf-whistled at, sexually harassed, stalked, etc. Knowing several women who are drop-dead gorgeous and seeing how they are treated -- not taken seriously, especially in the work environment -- makes me happy that I'm me.
