Are you concerned with your looks?

[BlackDiamond]

I'm never concern about my looks because I'm comfortable just the way I am. Yes I'm dark skin, and weight a few extra pounds but I'm not over weight, well what I'm really trying to say is I find myself beauty no matter what. Beside there are some days where I come outside looking ugly "and" we all have that problem every now and then or so often or maybe a blue moon. But if you are that person that is corcern with the way you look that you need to look deep in yourself because I find all people beautiful. Some may not beleave my when I say it but it's the truth. The End

Somedays more than others. I've lost erm about 20 lbs in about 8 months and kept it off. I'm between pant sizes and get lectured for "showing my back too much." I am constantly wearing a belt. I was told friday (albiet from my psycho office mate) that I was getting too skinny. That I was starting to look unhealthy. My grandma claimed she didn't recognize who I was on Valentine's day when she was doing her shopping because I've lost so much weight (in my opinion not that much since Dec). My best friend let me know that it's more of my body has changed in that time.

So right now, yeah everyone's making a big deal about my appearance so I'm very self conscious.

[J. van Deijck]

I'm concerned on my looks in the way that I do everything to look like I want and to find myself pretty and good looking. I don't care if others like my style or not. The most important thing is that I like it, right? :3

[The Maple Leaf Forever]

I care about looking like "myself" and about my appearance being predictable. My signature "look" if it can be called so is my longer bob-length hair and beard. As for my clothes, they are "generic casual", I.E. classic jeans everyday with a t/polo/sweatshirt and sometimes a plaid shirt, with leather street shoes. I put minimal effort in my appearance but try to be presentable. In that sense, I don't really care about my looks.

[Skycaptain]

Not really, because I can't change anything other than losing weight.

[tase]

Not concerned, but do wonder what it would have been like to have been blessed with good looks.

[Homer]

Not concerned, but do wonder what it would have been like to have been blessed with good looks.

For me it wouldn't be too much of a blessing. I like to spend time on my own and there's a reason that it's called "attractive".

It could be a fun thing to try for one day, though.

Yes one day gifted with looks, size, stamina, and self confidence.

[Kuroneko]

I care about my looks usually - there are those days I feel like crap and walk out with just leggings and oversized shirt and wearing a ponytail. Most often I wear dresses, skirts, heels and put on makeup. However I'm not obsessed with my appearance. I had 13 - 14 year old students who would stop me in the hall to tell me I look really pretty which is fine but don't care too much. To me a bigger compliment is when I had students who told me that they enjoy doing math and learned a lot because of the way I taught math. It makes me happier to hear that than commenting on my looks.

[Tanzanite]

I'm not concerned about my looks. I know I'm not ugly, but it's nice to not have random strangers telling me how pretty I am. I'm too shy for that, and if that ever happened, I would be freaking out.

[Voyager_2]

I'm concerned about what I look like. Matching clothes is fun but for the things I can't change - I really wish I cared less. I generally dislike looking at myself, I'm not exactly ugly but I can't stop focusing on that fact that I have visible veins under my eyes and there's nothing to do about it except putting on makeup and maybe stop being underweight. I'm not really sure if I have the right perception of what I look like tho cause I have somehow been stopped by a model scout 3 times in my life so there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Biggles XD]

I'm very concerned with how I look, sometimes I just refuse to go out anywhere if I feel "too ugly" which is most weekends haha

[TripleOG]

Ive never felt concerned about my facial aesthetics, but i sometimes feel like a little kid when im out in public because im really short at 5,5 and have small hands and small feet.

[- - -]

i used to, cos people kept telling me i was ugly. but then i realised "uglyness" is subjective and just an opinion. im not actually ugly, my appearance it neutral, its other people and there stupid social rules saying i am, and that means nothing to me... so now i just dont care

i mean its not like i want/need to be attractive to anyone anyway lol

[crafts_not_coitus]

This is my own personal experience. I fully acknowledge it counts as selling-out.

I have carefully cultivated a "barbie-esque blonde housewife" appearance for social protection, which I have found makes navigating life SO much easier than when I was a no-makeup brunette with glasses. Strangers are much nicer to me, they don't tend to ask questions I don't want to answer, and I can simply get offended and say, "why would you think I would answer that!?" My polyamory and asexuality fly under the radar, and people in customer service are more willing to give me what I ask for.

Is it being inauthentic? Absolutely. However, my inner-self would be 300lbs, wouldn't give a lick about external appearance or frequent showering, would surround herself with a pile of blankets and cats, and would barely acknowledge that she has a body, other than to create projects and snuggle animals. Since I can't be that person openly, and therefore must put on a mask either way, I choose to wear a mask in which society treats me well.

[J. van Deijck]

Ive never felt concerned about my facial aesthetics, but i sometimes feel tiny when im out in public because im really short at 5,4 and have small hands and small feet.

I'm 5'10 and I feel too tall ;_;

[sindi]

I care about my looks, but not a whole ton. I like to be reasonably pretty, but can't be bothered to go the extra mile. After all, I'm not looking for romance or anything.

[Visenya]

I care about how I look like for the same reason Crafts does. Good looking people are treated much, MUCH better in our society (being ugly as fuck has made me quite resentful because of it). The only problem is that no matter what I do, I'm still considered very unattractive. It affects my self esteem to the point of making me avoid social interactions. :(

But at least I can fool myself into thinking that at least I'm making an effort. It's not my fault that I wasn't blessed with good genes. And maybe I can try to go from "treated like shit" to "being that invisible girl no one cares or talks about", which is a bit better, I must admit.

[Midnight Star]

Within reason. I want to look presentable but that's where my concern ends. The only times I go beyond that is when I need to for some kind of fancy event.

[Nylocke]

The only effort I put into my looks is for cosplay. Regular outerwear is usually just whatever pants I have in my closet + an anime t shirt and I'm out the door.

[deltaX]

Meh, every once in a while I'll feel motivated to pick out an outfit I think I'll look really good in, but a lot of the time I don't care too much. I value comfort over looking steorotypically "beautiful" or even fashionable, so a lot of the time I'll just wear a T-shirt and jeans, and throw my hair in a simple ponytail. Make-up always felt awkward to me, so I haven't worn it in years.

[ChillaKilla]

I preen a bit more than I'd like to admit... I spend most of my time on my eyebrows.

[WhenSummersGone]

I used to not care but I now find I care more as I age. I seem to be putting in more effort to look good now. I'm also afraid of how I come across to other people in terms of attraction.

[Nylocke]

I got into my eye brows when I got into visual kei xD I used to slice em really thin and make them green and everything else. My mom told me to grow them back "normal" and I did for the most part and clean them every other week.

[zoom]

I am concerned with my looks, but I usually don't like compliments, because the people often have different ideas of beauty, and being beautiful in their eyes means that I am failing to meet their beauty standards.

Classic is my grandmother who used to say things like "Hi, you look good! You gained weight!"

[girlinstory]

I struggled with eating disorders almost my whole life. Realizing I was asexual actually helped me with my recovery. It reminded me that a major cause of my eating disorder is institutionalized misogyny and the belief that women need to look a certain way to appeal to men.

I still struggle with it every day, but I keep trying to remind myself that I don't need to look a certain way for anyone. I just need to be healthy.

[valaxy.galaxy]

I don't really care about what others think , but putting effort into my appearance makes me feel confident and strong - this usually helps me be more sociable and outgoing during the day , and as a person that used to be bullied , this confudence really helped in making me stand up for myself more.

But compliments are welcomed too..from people I am close to only, though. Or people that do not give me the "creep" or " i actually think you look disgusting but im lying to be nice" vibe.

Only according to my mom I have all that. I definitely have stamina because I work out regularly. These days the funiture made are like marshmallows. I have a small frame, but I'm full of confidence. I remember way back before the last dude I was in a relationship with and I had gotten together he said that I had a fiery personality. I guess that means confidence right???

[Kuebiko]

About my looks...mmm...

Apathetic, I guess, like I do about everything else.

My looks alone are of no worth to me, not really, so I don't particularly care how I look as long as it's not particularly terrible. I'm still trying to match my clothes in a way that doesn't scream "colourblind person", for crying out loud!

I do try to be presentable in the least, depending on the situation. I won't dress up, but I do try to wear nice clothes if I'm going to meet my friends because I respect them, you know? I don't do my hair (I have none now) and I don't wear makeup (because I don't know how and it takes too much effort) because I don't need to, but at the same time I'm not going out of the house with a creased shirt.
