how do you feel about being judged on your looks?

[Proverbial Jon]

of coarse some of it is on me...since apearance requires some effort, (I mean I tried to learn to use an eye pencil but everytime I thought "theres a million other things I'd rather be doing right now") so yeah...I dont even know how to apply msot make-up aside from foundation (shock horror)

I read almost your entire post before realising you are female. Well, let's just say the eye pencil comment had me wondering... then I checked your profile to make sure! It's interesting how we make assumptions about pretty much every person we meet to a certain degree, even this is a form of stereotyping/categorising. Interesting exercise.

[sub]Phew, I think I got away with that one...[/sub]

Just for the record, I think most girls look more attractive without the makeup anyway. I've seen far too many girls smothered in the stuff and it just makes them look artificial. Doesn't matter how much natural beauty you've got when you're buried under 2 inches of makeup, that's for sure.

But yeah, as for me... I used to be really bothered by what people thought about me and I was crippled with self confidence issues. Then I left school, cleaned out the trash known as my friends/social life and now I couldn't give a flying hoot about how people perceive me. I still worry if I upset someone or make a bad impression, but that's not quite the same thing. Got a problem with how I look? Well tough because I have to look at myself in the mirror so I don't see why you should get away with it.

Thief! Thief! I feel violated! I need an adult!

I don't mind. I choose not to exercise or eat healthy, and i'm fat because of it. People that look at me negatively for being fat or anything else don't bother me because I know i'm a fat man, and know that despite the negative connotations that being fat comes with, I choose to continue to be so. And since im fucking huge AND STILL WALK I can feel good about myself

Although, I get sick in direct sunlight, so I tend to stay indoors or in shade during the brightest (and therefore hottest) times of day. If only I lived someplace with functional night hours

snip.

when it comes to the internet I guess its generally assmued "guy untill proven otherwise" (espiecally on a site like this)

also I'll tell you a little "secret"...most of the time women you see in public are wearing some form of make-up..foundation...it just doesnt look that way because all its doing is covering up the blemishes and such

the "natural" look

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

I don't go encouraging it, but I will admit that it's nice to be told I look good. Which happens surprising often considering that I don't wear makeup, get most of my clothes second-hand and am a bit overweight.

Dammit!

Oh well. I probably wasn't gonna need it for anything.

Well the first thing we see is what a person looks like so it's pretty much in our brains that our first impression comes from how someone looks like.
Me, I don't really care what people think of my looks. If someone learns to know me then they can say whatever they want but based on how I look very few people would get shit right about me with just a first glance.

 

[SycoMantis91]

I feel unaffected. Because frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about how I look (relationship companions aside), and if someone were to judge me based on looks, they'd solidify my decision to not attempt to impress them.

 

[Strazdas]

I kind of resent the fact its so easy for guys..the fact that they can go to somthing in jeans and a shirt but if I do Im under dressed

Its not easy for guys at all, trust me.

That being said, anyone who judges anther person primary by how he looks is mentally retarded. and yes im looking at all of you reporters that write about looks.
Confort should be the primary concern when it comes to dressing up.

While I do, to a lesser extent, care about my looks, I've never cared about them because people might judge me otherwise. Every decision that I have made regarding my looks have been from my standpoint, and never anyone elses.

For instance, I'm currently running the goatee (I'd like to have more, but I'm 17, so what can you do?), and despite being the only one in my class having one, and despite getting various requests to shave, I rarely do. I've shaved it twice to far. First time was because I thought the hairs might grow out a little less curly if I shaved (They didn't), and the second time was because I was drunk and would 5 SEK (1$) if I did.

I'm not good looking nor am I ugly.. aka Shrek! I'm small height, just over 5ft so kinda stumpy. im not skinny nor overweight. Im average. I admit i wear make-up most of the time, i have freckles on my cheeks and when i was a kid got bullied for that amoung other things. I then started to wear make-up, alot of it. I have a friend who is beautiful, has an amazing figure, is tall, blonde haired, green eyed. And as much as i love her, I hate how she tries to change me. Im happy and comfortable in a vest, shirt and jeans. But my friend insists that i wear, skirts, dresses, wear loads of make-up, have certain hairstyles etc... for when we go out or even go shopping. (I am now always ready with an excuse to avoid shopping) lol.

I hate being judged on looks but it happens all the time for everyone.And everyone is guilty of judging. Its impossible to go into a shop or bar with-out people judging you based on your looks. How you deal with it is what matters. If you just understand that its normal and unavoidable to be judged, then life is easier. Who cares what idea's people conjure up about you based on your looks. What matters is how you yourself see yourself and how your friends and the people you actually care about see you. Nothing else matters nor do strangers opinions.

Hi Vault101! You beat Mass Effect 3 yet?

OT:
Yeah it gets pretty annoying. I feel like everyone looks at me and thinks I'm just some grimmy stoner/low-life, who'll probably end up homeless after high school. I think I've been asked at least once (by an idiot) whether I was Satanic and listened to devil music, but that was like two years ago.
If people actually took the time to get to know me, they'd find that I'm actually not a stoner or a low life. That I'm actually an Eagle scout. That I just don't care enough to change my clothes as often as I should (my jeans and jacket don't get that dirty, so I wear them for months on end). I may not be afraid to say anything (which freaks some people out when I say really weird things) but I mean well and am nice at heart.

Some people have told me I don't look bad or intimadating at all, but those people also know me.

I've had such mixed--but mostly negative--results with the ladies that I'm not sure where I rank on the attractability scale, so I've kind of conceded defeat in that area.

 

[lRookiel]

I really don't care. I wear the same kind of clothing every day and don't really bother with my hair other than keeping it clean..

Well, I think I'm just the plain, average kind of guy, I don't try to get girls because I'm desperately afraid of rejection and my self esteem is shit.
