How do you know if you're good-looking? (for boys)

---

i no i not i have acne and scars from a motorcycle accident.i no how u feel

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some women will think you're hot, others won't. I'm an Asian guy that lives in the South. (US) Not very many of us around. Anyway, in my area some girls have a flavor for asian guys and a lot don't. I just have to face that reality and not to let it discourage me.

I once thought the same way as you did, but over the past few years I've kind of deduced how others perceive me. I'm a hit or miss kinda guy, either they think I'm hot or not (lol that was unintentional).I think the same can apply to quite a few people, you may think that a certain feature is not attractive (I thought of my nose) but it may turn out to be someone's favourite feature of you (like my girlfriend).No matter what you've got (within reason) there will be someone who likes the look of you, the trick is finding them! Of course there are some things that a large majority of people find "ugly", but there will be people who can look past that.When it comes down to it relationships start with a basic level of physical attraction, that won't sustain it alone.

i actually have this same problem, sort of.Lemme say that i am happy with my looks in general, except for acne which is next to impossible for me to rid of. I can get it under control to a point, but can never completely remove it.Iv tried a lot of different acne products, but never seems to really help.If anybody has any suggestions for treating acne throw them out. You can leave the "duh" suggestions out though if u want.Yes, this is coming from a guy. I cant help it. Every other part of my face is flawless, so my mission to rid the acne to feel completely happy about myself.I know i strayed quite away from your question, but i just wanna say your not alone :P

Jeez. That was kind of cocky and rude. We're supposed to be helping him, not bragging about ourselves.

As for you, Tomatoes... you are your biggest critic, so of course you will notice your worst flaws. Braces arent just for cosmetics, they help your teeth function properly. My teeth werent straight before them, they are now, but I still have them to realign my jaw (to make them work properly, not because it looks bad) So don't beat yourself up. I think a lot of people think their nose is too big... many ppl I know complain about it. Just be happy that you look the way you are. Nobody's completely perfect.

thanks guys, I guess what most of you have said is probably true...I guess different people DO see you differently - I know that sometimes when I don't shave or something I have a little bit of a beard going on. Some people at school tell me it looks really cool but personally I think I look like...well...some lazy guy who didnt shave =/ lol. I think I will post a picture actually. If anything I just want some resurrance. I'll try to get one on by tomorrow.

Easy way to work it out. Look in the mirror, if it breaks its pretty self-explanatory!Mr. Nuts

how do you know? if chicks are humping you left and right, you're either hot or loaded

That is true.

Alot of guys I know are very good-looking and don't have girls surronding them.. I think every guy can be good-looking in their own way.

What I think about these sort of things is that some people will find you attractive and some won't. It's about personal preference, what one person finds attractive my be completely different to what another thinks is attractive. Basically, you should try to be positive about the way you look and feel good about yourself.

well I finally found my digital camera and I decided to take a couple of pictures because I have to know O_o. Please be brutally honest lol. Personally, I think I look a little too shabby here (although some people tell me not to shave completely), but this is the best I could get at the moment. sorry if it looks like a dirty piece of shit =/.http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/17920303883.jpg&s=f5 edit: I tried smiling but the pic didn't come out too great rofl.

you're kidding me! you look perfectly fine. stop worrying you worry wart lol

You look really cute! Oh yes, that was brutal... Or at least blunt.

Your fine, don't worry about it.

I swear, every time someone complains about the way they look and posts a picture, I expect to see a hideous minger. It hasn't happened yet on this forum. You look perfectly normal and fine. If you have problems meeting people, it has nothing to do with your looks. You just need to force yourself into becoming more outgoing and more comfortable with people. It sounds ridiculous, but it can be done. You just have to keep pushing yourself.

a unanimous positive decision? cute even?! as cliché as it may sound, I'm still trying to grasp the fact that we're all talking about the same picture here! wow you don't know how happy I am. This has been bugging me the last week as I was trying to find my camera lol. I didn't expect this kind of a response but I guess I'm going to have to agree with you. (you guys would have no reason to lie to me =P). wow lol. I'm so confused/happy O_O. I've always thought of myself as a little on the ugly side. I keep thinking you guys must've all said those things because of the fact that the picture made me look better somehow but the more I try and prove that to myself the more I realize it looks exactly like me. (if that makes sense)and Aimakoko, that one really got to me lol. "you look cute". I don't know if you really mean that or you're just saying that to be nice???? Because whenever I'm around/talking to girls I keep thinking that they think I look ugly. I don't know, it's just really weird to suddenly change how I think I appear to girls. O_O So does that mean you think I would look good enough to ask a girl out or something? Sometimes (aside from an overall shyness I have), I feel like I don't want to say something to a girl because I don't want to embarrass myself as some creepy-looking guy talking to her. If you really meant that you've made my day I guess I should say thanks for assuring me I look OK and I do thank you , but wow, this is weird. I don't know, it's just that this is not how I've always thought about how I look. This is so awesome lol. I feel just like better overall now - its hard to explain haha. Thank you very much.

There are also very thin people who think they're fat. At least you don't have a major psychological problem like they do.

Ah, I see you have some ethnicity in ya. I have to repost what I said earlier.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some women will think you're hot, others won't. I'm an Asian guy that lives in the South. (US) Not very many of us around. Anyway, in my area some girls have a flavor for asian guys and a lot don't. I just have to face that reality and not to let it discourage me.

Uh, yeah I meant what I said. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted. If you asked me out, I would probably say yes. Except I wouldn't, but not because you are ugly. I would say no because I have a boyfriend, and because this is the internet. But if I didn't have a boyfriend, and if I knew you in real life, I would say yes.

exactly. do you know how annoying it gets when people ask me what I am? umm a girl. and then when I find out they mean what ethnicity/race I tell them black or if I just feel like being rude I say look at my parents. it does get annoying. but asian guys are cute don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
