i know that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but lets face it...there are some people that are just more physically appealing than others according to a majority. So do ugly people know that they are ugly deep down inside? And do beautiful people all know that they are beautiful...i mean, appearance really does affect how you are treated through life to some extent...do these ugly people and beautiful people notice these things?

I think everyone realizes to some extent that they are attractive or are not attractive physically. People do not dwell on this, normally, because to someone in their lives they are attractive in some way. It is quite possible to be blissfully unaware of your physical appearance, but someone is bound to point it out, whether it be kind or rude in its happening.

There is also the fact that everyone has different taste. What one person may see as attractive may be the ugliest thing in the world to someone else.

To answer the heading question, I do not think I am beautiful. When I think of beautiful, I think of movie stars and models. However, I think that I am attractive. My appearance is pleasing to me and I have been told more than a few times, by men and women alike, that I am attractive, cute, pretty, etc.

God is always in favor of beautiful people. God loves beauty. Be it humane or naturally. It is general that beautiful people are more confident than the ugly ones. Rich and Famous are often physically beautiful. Beautiful people encash their beauty. They are paid for it. (Do not want to cite any example). Ugly people have to pay more in their life in getting an achievement.

Ugly people also know that they are not beautiful. Both beautiful and ugly people notice these things.

I think anyone who hasn't had plasctic surgery is beautiful. We all have SOMETHING beautiful about us, even if it just just pretty eyes or something. I just thinks some people need to learn it doesn't matter that much, you know? I see things like this all the time where the attractive people are talked to and their every want is fufilled, and the less attractive people are ignored. It's just like race, what color you are makes you no different but people still don't understand that if you're "ugly" you're no different. America, eh? :]

Relatively. I don't think it really has much to do with actual appearance, but how you think you look. I came to that conclusion in junior year when we were lining up for the ring mass.

I wanted to be with friends at that special time, so I stood with my friend at the back of the line. I knew I wasn't that tall, so I moved up to the middle where I thought I belonged. Finally, the teacher moved me up to the front and I was third in line! I was shocked! For 16 years, I thought things were just high up. It hadn't occurred to me until that moment that I was short. I've known it since then, but it really hasn't negatively effected me like some people because until then I didn't think I was short.

I worked with someone who "hooked up" every weekend at the clubs. She's got a nice body, but she is one of the most homely people I have ever seen. Yet, she doesn't think so. In fact, I think she thinks she's hot and that's why she has the confidence to go out and make out with strangers, their "beer goggles" notwithstanding.

I also worked for a boss who's husband could have been a model he was that good looking. Yet, he didn't think so because he grew up in a family with a verbally abusive father.

It's all what you are told and all what you believe that you are. Perception is the only reality.

I think to extent. I think beautiful people do know they are beautiful but I think no one really wants to believe they are ugly.

i don't think i am attractive but i don't try to be attractive either,i guess out of total fatigue i have three kids i am beat but even when i did make an effort and i know i was looking good i never thought i did i was riddled with insecurities i guess its part of the being a women package...its comes with the ovaries i was always insecure and there was always someone that was better looking so it was all just an act i feel better about myself now because i see me through my kids eyes and they love me my husband loves me so as far as they are all concerned i hung the moon so i don't need to get all fanatical about they way i look because the people who love me love me unconditionally.....but i think even the ugliest dude will think he is hot where as even a drop dead gorgeous women will still find flaws in herself so i guess i don't know

Anyone can be attractive now-a-days. Makeup, plastic surgery....just how important is your vanity to you? I've met many beautiful people in my life time that I really don't ever want to meet again. Sometimes they are rude and narcisstic. I'd rather know people who are genuine, who they really are inside and out. "Beauty is only skin deep" I'm glad I'm married and I never want to date. You really don't know what you're getting......

once you're talking approximately actual splendor, acceptance is a controversy of symmetry. captivating people have extra symmetry to their faces and bodies than all people else. there grow to be a mag article consistent with a learn and as an occasion of the thought they used Denzel Washington's face with a grid superimposed over his face. The grapic confirmed that Mr. Washington's face is very symmetrical. Now acceptance as a count of understanding somebody is extremely consistent with their character and your predisposition to their character based on your character, temperament, and studies. the way you experience approximately somebody you realize or think of you realize can, and many times does, override the way you notice them bodily.

Yes, I'm not gorgeous or anything but I would definitely rate myself as 7 1/2. I notice that when I really have confidence in my looks, I get alot more attention. True story.

I suppose, people who are physically attractive sometimes have higher levels of self confidence but ugly people can be confident too, it all depends how you look at it i guess.
