controversial poll: are you pretty

[sarack]

in your opinion, are you pretty. we're talking on the outside.

this may be hard, but let's be honest ladies.

[Deleted]

There are days that I definitely find myself pretty but most I really don't think I look pretty at all.

[Deleted]

I can be when I try, but there are days when I walk by a mirror and I scare myself.

I'm trying to shut up the voice in my head that's saying that I need Radiesse, but damn, my smile lines are getting deeper.

I feel like this, too. I'm reasonably shaped and have nice teeth. If I put make up on and fix my hair and dress reasonably, I think I'm pretty. If I skip any of those three, no.

I think I'm pretty now, but without makeup, hair products, braces, contacts, acne treatment, foot surgery, special shampoo for my scalp... I'm like the definition of a hot mess, lol

amen. if this were the 1800s it would not be good.

Eh, ish. There are good days and bad days. I'll think I look ok, then see a picture of myself and think um, gross

[kwpnjumper55]

I don't think I am, I have a lazy eye which really bugs me And I have blotchy cheeks which really suck when I'm not wearing foundation.

[larzhope]

the only day I really felt beautiful was my wedding day. there are a lot of days that I think "meh, i look fine" but most times.. nope

yeah, I say this all the time - I'd be the town reject

[emyinpink]

I'm seriously incredibly hard on myself. I think I'm decent looking, but still overweight and not really pretty. DH says otherwise though .

[niq]

W says I am handsome and some days I believe it.

[carylee07]

I think I'm pretty but not without work. Rolling out of the bed in the morning with no makeup on and my hair not done- I look like a 12 year old boy. Not even a cute boy either.

[picksthemusic]

It depends on the day, if I'm having a bad hair day, if I have makeup on, if I'm dressed up...

On the whole, yes, I feel pretty. I know I'm not ugly by society's standards, but I also know I'm not everyone's definition of "pretty" either.

[tacocat]

Right now I don't think so at all. I am having some terrible self esteem right now. DH and I promised each other to start cooking again and get back to our good eating habits. This might help, but I don't enjoy the mirror these days

This.

[jennlin]

if i try then yes... if not, then no. no. noooooooo. no.

[BlackCanary]

I think I'm cute, mainly because I'm so tiny! Though I really want to get braces because I hate my teeth.

I also don't like that I have little white hairs all over my chin. :-(

How many women HONESTLY feel pretty? I feel like we're geared not to (and then turned off even more by those rare few who are amazing looking, and act like a bitch to everyone because they KNOW it).

I used to feel...not ugly. I look back at pictures from senior year high school - college and think I was usually pretty. I used to be really photogenic and rarely took bad photos. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and at first, I thought I looked really pretty in a classic way when I dressed up for our anniversary...but I feel like I look ugly in all the photos. In general, no, I don't feel I look pretty at all. My rosacea that just showed up a year ago really makes me feel ugly, the red splotchy I could handle ok but not the rosacea bumps (not acne) I can't. The best I can ever get is "cute," but never the other words (hot, gorgeous, beautiful, etc).

[hallows]

Sometimes I think so, but mostly no.

Better than big, thick, black hairs all over your chin. :-(

How tiny are you? I'm always so jealous of tiny girls! I am 5'6.5", 130ish lbs., so I'm super average. My sister is 5'2" and I am jealous of how petite she is.
