Is this a good test to see how attractive you are overall?

[NN2]

I was reading on another site that a good way for a guy too measure their level of attractiveness on the whole (face, body, only) is to try and make eye contact with girls as he walks down a hall, mall, outside, or whatever. The more eye contact you get the better, especially if the eye contact is accompanied by a smile on the girls part. Good test or not?

[lifeiscash]

Yea it would work. Just go around where attractive girls would be and see if they give you that eye contact.

[abcd1234]

I don't think it would be a good test because different girls will be attracted to different things about a guy. Also, not everyone likes to hold eye contact with complete strangers, whether they are attracted to you or not.

[MaxPayne19]

Of course you know if they give you eye contact you better have something good to say along with it to this person.

I don't think it's a good test either. Afterall, attractiveness is highly subjective. Just be comfortable with who you are, that's attractive in and of itself!

[lifeiscash]

I agree that attractive on the inside is more important, but if this is not a good test.. then please.. list a new test for us all.. because honestly.. if you want to measure how attractive you are by OTHER people (not yourself), then I don't really know a good way.

[jna35]

You have a point, but there can't be a definitive test for attractiveness. It is thoroughly a matter of personal taste for each individual. It's kinda like art and music. Not everyone likes the same thing. That's why we are so lucky to have many choices.

I didn't know one girl that didn't think Brad Pitt was a god.

Not only is attractiveness subjective, but some people actually look away when they see someone who they find is attractive. The more confident a person is, the more eye contact they make. Many times it has little to do will attractiveness. Some people make eye contact just because they're friendly and it may not have any thing to do with your attractiveness. So, I really don't think this test would be reliable enough to see how attactive you are and who thinks you're attractive.

 

p.s. I've never been a big fan of Brad Pitt.

Well, you can count me as one He seems too...done up or overdone or something for me. He has that "look" of a laid back guy, but he does not have that true "feeling" of one. I think he's too much of a pretty boy. Not what I go for...

 

I don't like my men to feel "high maintenance"

[jna35]

I also agree with lillady898. P.S. I have never understood why women go crazy for Brad Pitt. He's not my type either!

I definantly agree. I don't think Brad Pitt is anything special at all. Stereotypically he's a dream boat, he's got the nice tan, the nice muscles, everything girls are supposed to be attracted to. But I'm not attracted to that type, so I have never found him to be attractive.

 

I don't think this test is a good one. What if no one gives you much eye contact at all? Does it mean you are hideous? If you want to see what people think of you, find some sort of website where you can post a picture and people can rate you.

[Day_Walker]

Honestly I believe that people altogether tend to focus too much on their own appearance, how is it going to help you if you find out how attractive you are? Its pointless and denotes a person with self esteem issues. Let other people worry about how attractive you are or arent. Your attractiveness is nothing that can be easily changed.

 

The whole comment about Brad Pitt is funny it would seem that he has mainstream appeal to females but that doesnt mean that every girl will find him attractive. Watch out when you ask people about their preferences because you will soon find that people make exceptions and dont always get what they prefer.

[xmrth]

I think that this test would fail, and that is because how do you know a girl looking at you and passing a smile isn't just looking for one in return-- an EGO stroke. Or, say a bunch of girls are together and they all look your way. They could just be acting like they're "supposed" to do that when someone decent comes along, and I think guys do it, too. I walk in the mall and not one guy with even just one other will stop themselves from looking at me or passing a comment, and I look at it as being a guy thing, or maybe they want me to do it in return and boost their egos or something.

I think the only way to know is for someone to actually tell you they think you're attractive. It's true they could just want to know if they themselves are, but more often than not I'd say it's a genuine way to know if you are, and not base it on glances and smiles and body language entirely.

 

And I just wanted to add that Prad Pitt is not good looking at all. I don't see it either.

[Blackmsmithdave]

there is no for sure test, shallow girls who think that they are gods gift to men, often do the heavy eye contact thing, but real people normaly are looking where they are going. Also most women are attracted to personality more. if a guy is good looking funny, and confident then he is better than brad pitt. who is good looking but lets be honest i dont see him scoring to high in IQ.

 

Lastly women focus on facial charectaristics, diffrent faces cause diffrent women to be attracted its either same or oposites attract i cant remember.

[lifeiscash]

Okay I'll be the lone soldier in this debate. The idea is not all that bad. If you go out to a bar scene or anything like that.. women usually try to connect with you through eye contact. Thats the "go-ahead" hint for guys to pick up.. in which many of them don't. To go to a bar scene and see how many eye contacts you get that are flirtatious is not a bad way to reflect on your appearance, cause it makes sense.. no eye contact usually and no flirtatious body behaviour = not really that attractive.

There is no other profound way to actually justify someone's attractive level.

 

You can spare me about how everyone is different and how people see things different, because the majority is what matters. As for Brad Pitt, I'm amazed at all the girls that say he is not there type. Yet if he gave them any oppurtunity to date him they would be going crazy like they just hit the lottery. But the idea is not what "your type" is, it's about his appearance.. totally different.. some say his appearance is not that special.. so okay.. yes, im not going to be niave and say some people are have different likes about attraction.. maybe they pefer a fat/bald man that sits on the couch and raises his beer can for excercise.

 

Attractivness (looks) gets people somewhere.. it opens more doors for them rather than some regular joe. I think the people with alot of self-esteem issues are people who are not attractive and feel shut out of the social crowd. These are the people that result to depression and socail anxiety. As for being attractive, it doesn't have to be viewed from a negative light. Attractiveness is something to value, but then again.. everyone is attracted to different things.. but I'd say what counts is the what the majority of the people think.

[lillady898]

.. but I'd say what counts is the what the majority of the people think.

 

I think the majority is only what counts if you're considering the quantity to be more important that the quality.

[ShySoul]

If you go around trying to make eye contact with everyone, you'll probably run into a few girls who start getting creeped out and wondering what this guy is doing looking at me. Or you'll run into shy girls who will avoid eye contact even though they may find you attractive. Or you could get a girl who just happens to be looking in your direction and your eyes meet by complete coincidence. Different people have different reactions, so thats not a good way to judge yourself.

 

Point is, does it matter what other people think of you? Or should you be concerned with what you think of yourself? I'm fine with my appearance regardless of how many people notice me or make eye contact, if any at all. You are you, be happy with who you are and what you've got.

 

I think the majority is only what counts if you're considering the quantity to be more important that the quality.

 

Exactly. Personally, I always end up going against the minority. It doesn't matter if the majority of people think one way, what matters is if that one special person finds you attractive.

 

And on Brad Pitt, I'm sure more then a few girls have about a 0% interest in him. And for many more the appeal isn't so much in the appearance its that he's Brad Pitt, a celebrity. It's the unreachable fantasy that is appealing.

[Tsunami]

Yeah, it's a good test... but im not sure i think it's a nice one. I personally don't mind if "people" find me attractive or not, just that one person that matters to me..

[easyguy]

Whether this "test" is feasible or not, if she doesn't at least SMILE and show genuine interest then she is simply looking at someone walking down the street who she'll forget shortly after passing. A smile is the international sign for friendship, so it doesn't always mean she has the hots for you, eye contact or not.

 

Attractiveness is subjective, so not everyone will find you attractive. Eye contact doesn't always mean that you're ATTRACTED to someone. In conversation, eye contact is often used between friends to exhibit their attention towards the speaker. Of course, it would be rude to STARE into the eyes of someone. It's easy to feel uncomfortable if that is done.
