IHO: weird things to think about post

[scotty]

I think that I'm pretty. I think it's okay to call yourself pretty. Self-degradation re: looks drives me up a wall. We are all too hard on ourselves.

[lucky513]

I think Im pretty
I think its ok to think of yourself as pretty I think its sad when people don't think they are pretty

[MWOS]

I have a real issue with this. I have previously considered myself to be offensively hideous. I felt bad for people who had to see me.

[eb777888]

I agree with what scotty says. I think it's awesome when women think they're pretty.

I think I'm plain looking, but know how to make myself pretty with clothes/make-up/highlights. I have to really work at it- more as I get older.

[sake]

I think I'm generally pretty. Sometimes more than others. But I try to look nice as much as possible, and H says I'm even pretty when i have on no makeup, so i obviously have him brainwashed... lol

[studytime45]

I think I'm pretty. Especially when I make an effort. But there are days when I don't feel that way.

[psyck]

I would describe myself as cute, not pretty. But DH says I'm beautiful.

why? Was it due to weight issues? I actually don't think I have seen any woman who I think is ugly in real life

Well, I don't think that helped any. But I couldn't really look at pictures of my face either.

I think I am average and slightly better than average with make up and my hair done. I wouldn't call myself pretty though.

[dcannie]

on most days, i think i'm pretty. i don't think it's weird if someone thinks they're pretty or attractive.

that makes me sad. you're too fucking amazing to have ever felt like this.

Thank you SMACE.
This is something that's gotten better in my late twenties. I guess I had to start using the self-hatred energy on something more worthwhile.

I think I am fairly average looking. I wouldn't say pretty by any means, but not hideous either.

This times a million.

Although I must say that self-degradation is still better than fishing for compliments like when someone who is thin complains about being "such a fat pig" or someone who is pretty saying that the are ugly.

If you want a compliment, ASK FOR ONE!

I think I'm pretty. Some days I feel really pretty and others relatively pretty. It's very rare that I feel thoroughly disappointed with what I see in the mirror (and usually only when I haven't slept in ages and am bloated.)

I think having a rough adolescence lent itself well to me building up my confidence without relying on others. I have a friend who is absolutely stunning and if she goes out and at least four or five guys don't come up to her, she gets all down on herself.

You, my dear, are not just pretty. You are BEAUTIFUL. It makes me sad that you felt this way.

CALL ME PRETTY!

Hey WOMAN I said ASK, not demand.

OMGAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lolz

Smace, you are beautiful, pretty, smart and funny, can I have five dollars now?

[iamali]

Average.

My nose is pretty large.

When I weigh less I feel like I'm on the prettier side of average.

[underwaterrhymes]

Every woman in this post is pretty. YOU ARE PRETTY!!

[bonquiqui]

No, i do not think so.

[tinybride]

Ok it makes me sad that some of you don't think you are that pretty. I'm sure you are. Don't forget we are our worst critics.

Find one of your best features and focus on that. I think I'm pretty but I have bad days too and I can be hard on myself.

Aww, well thank you. You are gorgeous yourself!

I promise i wasn't saying it to get compliments. I am just really hard on myself. I am working on it, and it drives H crazy.

You totally made my night though.

[papie]

I think I am pretty but sometimes I feel down about my looks...old,heavy,etc. but I know I am not being kind to myself

No, I know you weren't fishing. I think a lot of other women on here are selling themselves short too (papie, SMACE and IamAli, I'm looking at you!)

I really wish women were better about lifting each other up. I feel like if we all had a pact to tell one another when we look good or how awesome we are, we'd all feel not only a lot more confident and beautiful, but really good about making other people feel confident and beautiful.

This is my vision. I am free with my compliments, but I always, always mean them.

[underwaterrhymes]

You are more than cute.

[pantsparty]

I think I'm pretty.

But I'm probably more cute than pretty, being pocket-sized and all.
