This is a hard one to answer. I think my body is definitely below average on an attractiveness scale (and above average on an ordinary scale) but I think my head is a bit above average. So, as a whole package, I'm not sure. I hold out hope that I can continue to lose weight, though. If I lost about 70 pounds, I'd probably be quite attractive.
Hi Alex!

I hold out hope that I can lose 70 pounds, too. However, I think I'll still look goofy. I suspect I'll feel a mite better, though.
Now, that must do it for some people, because I've done decently enough in the 'attracting' events.

I'd like to drop about 40 pounds ... 50 at most.

I'd like to drop lots of pounds but I'd still have a flat face and wonky nose

I'd be happy to drop about 8 pounds. But somehow, that's quite hard.

Am I too late to reply to this? I consider myself plain when I'm being perfectly honest, but the people who matter think I'm gorgeous so I'm good!

My skin is now much better, which is actually a little annoying considering I am seeing a specialist in August.
The sun probably helped as well, though the tradoff is freckles.

Ooh, freckles!

I think freckles are beautiful.

I always wanted freckles, but it was my youngest daughter who ended up with them. I was pleased, but she hates them.

Hmm . . . Just to get serious for a minute. This is shaping up to look like no matter what physical attributes you give a woman she is never comfortable in her own body. I wish my "whatever" was bigger, or smaller or this or that or the other. As a man I find it very difficult to comprehend how all this insecurity about your own body comes about. The funny thing is that the majority of it doesn't come from men, it seems to be driven from the majority female community and aimed at the female community. I find it all very strange.

Yes, totally perplexing.

There's a culture of striving for perfection, and constantly comparing oneself to others. Never let it be said that women don't have their own pissing contests, even if they themselves aren't aware of it.
Even if I have resigned myself to never being with anyone again, and am ok(-sh) with that, I still am a little disappointed when my reflection catches me by surprise that the woman I glimpsed before I realized it was me isn't more attractive. I could also do with being just a little (or a lot) richer, but that doesn't seem to change even during those times when I do have more money. I am sure men have their equivalents. If you don't, then I envy your ability to be happy with everything you have.

Guys are often mystified by women's preoccupation with their attractiveness, but you often see all the guys congregating around the most beautiful women, so there's something going on there...

Well....I'll admit that I'd look, but...congregate around the most beautiful women? I don't think so. My experience with "most beautiful women" has not be particularly good. In that experience, I've found 'beautiful women' to be shallow, self-centered, demanding, grasping, and expectant of having most, if not all, of the attention directed to their interests (often themselves). They tend to be people who get what they want just because of the way they look and that has been the way their life has gone. That's not really the type of person with whom I'm interested in spending a whole lot of time.

So there you are, ladies, you should be making yourselves look ugly.

Mission accomplished then. So now I just sit and wait for all the suitors?

I don't think I am ugly. I am just ok. There are days when I look into the mirror and I see a rather ugly me, but most of the time, I am just ordinary, no striking features, not interested in cultivating impressive style of clothing. I am not stupid of course, but neither extremely intelligent. The one thing that I am above average is my sensitivity towards arts, and my compassion towards people in general.

It's been researched and proven many times that the prettiest people get jobs most easily, get things done, get attention and feel generally more happy and self-confident. The latter two probably have to do with the first three.

I'm not going to disagree with you Mari, I'm just coming at this from a different angle.
When I worked for an airline there was no denying that if you wanted to be cabin crew you had to be either female and pretty or gay and good looking ( in 18 years I only knew one straight man who was cabin crew ). Cabin crew was a "glamour" job and as such that was the way it was and, I suspect, ever will be, but throughout my working life my bosses have been pretty much split 50/50 between male and female. Good looks don't necessarily get you to the top in either education, academia or medicine. Sure I've known women get appointments because they are good looking, no denying that, but only the clever ones held those positions for any length of time.
P.S. I'm not saying anything new here, my original comment is a straight plagiarism from " The female eunuch"
