Leigh 87 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 if I like someone , they immedietly become beautiful I honestly believe my boyfriend when he tells me he thinks I'm beautiful. To him, I'm not average looking. He thought I was very attractive from the first time he set eyes on me. I could tell. The fact I probably blend into the crowd doesn't mean us average folks can't find people who genuinely view us as well above average (to them).
Author Onethirtyeight Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Good question. I think of average as "normal" for the demographic and dating locale. Which in my case, for my age (mid-40s) would be: Education - at least high school diploma Language - English is first language Religion - Christian, probably Protestant Looks - some grey hair, thinning hair, some wrinkles, would look better if they lost a size or two, glasses, teeth not as nice as they were (even the poorest kid in my class had braces, we were a pacifier generation). What amuses me with OLD in the description is medium. Medium to me is a medium size t shirt or sweatpants. Period. I see a lot of men who describe themselves as medium, when I know they have to be wearing an extra large - and it isn't because of height or muscles. I'm not saying women don't do the same thing, just I haven't looked at a lot of women's profiles. So you go with the statistical approch too.
ebor Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It's when a girl gets called "cute" For me cute is not a level of attraction it's something of its own league, I don't call a girl cute because she is below sexy or attractive. The best description I can come up with is she is cute when I just want to cuddle and smooch her.
Yamaha Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 1- extremely ugly 2- very ugly 3- ugly 4- below average 5- average 6- above average, ok/alright looking 7- pretty 8- very pretty 9- gorgeous 10- one of the best looking people you've ever seen Looks are very subjective. Someone with an average face but killer body, you will see them as above average. There are way to many variables. Suffice it to say, if you are interested in them they stand out, in some way. 1
carhill Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 What do you mean when you say average looking? When a group of random observers are neither enraptured nor repulsed by the physical presence of any particular person. I can use a typical social engagement as an example, having a gamut of such to deal with. Friends who are universally attractive, at one end of the spectrum, turn heads when they enter the room, smiles ensue and people move to greet them. Universally unattractive people, at the other end, are noted and generally ignored and people tend to move away from their physical space. Average people are typically acknowledged but no perceptible positive or negative reaction is perceived. Behavior and body language continues as normal. An average person must then rely on their social skills to achieve the same modicum of interaction and attention which the universally attractive gains by merely occupying space.
Thegreatestthing Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 if I like someone , they immedietly become beautiful Yes I agree with that,there's a guy whose pursuing me ATM ,he is a clear 10 but I have no interest,and then there is the guy Im In love with whose a 5 but a total ten in my eyes because of his energy, and this strange very incredible stare he had that just makes me want to collapse. All very relative.
