Why do people find me more attractive than I find myself?

I’ve been told I’m conventionally attractive, beautiful, perfect, sexy, etc.. But i don’t think I’m as attractive as people make it seem.

I also get approached and DM’d significantly but i feel like all women do majority of the time.

Maybe i feel this way due to the high amount of social media access we have today. But we have such easy access to beautiful women and high beauty standards, that these aspects make me feel average.

I don’t feel the same way people see me. But why?

  • I know the feeling. I deal with body dysmorphia, and it doesn't help when the media shove perfection in your face through T. V. and magazine covers. Even here on GAG, I have yet to see an average looking woman.

    No matter how many times I got called pretty or whatever, I think they're nuts because I don't look like your typical high end female. I'm short at like 4 11 5 0, a little bit chubby, no almond shaped eyes, scars everywhere, 36DD boobs that sag so they're considered unattractive.

    I'm hardheaded too, I'll admit that. No matter how many times I got called positive stuff I just didn't/don't believe people. My guess, we're blind to what other people are seeing. How we feel is reflecting on what we see in the mirror or camera.

  • I'd say you're pretty, but that's pretty common for a young woman, of healthy weight, who takes care of herself (w/ makeup, etc.). Average women get far far far more attention than average men, and telling someone they're beautiful costs nothing.

  • We see imperfections others don't see. What we dislike, others like or don't care about that much. We're our toughest critics.

  • Because you'll always be somewhat bias towards yourself, the truth here is that you don't see your beauty but others do

  • Isn't that how it works with most girls?

  • you need to work on your confidence

  • We're all our own worst critic and don't see ourselves the way the rest of the world does.

  • You are conventionally beautiful. Not super model level, but you embrace your femininity and that is always very appealing.

    Also, this is the time of your life when you will be considered as most beautiful and most attractive. It will never go beyond this point, assuming you follow the path of virtually all women. So take advantage of it and lock a good man down.
