Also, men can call themselves handsome and no one says a word! Why is it more acceptable for men to say they are good looking? Huh! Inquiring minds want to know!
If you're sexy, it should be self evident in the way you post. That's been my experience anyway, and I've rarely been wrong based on the what I've seen here.
No, you misunderstood her, Magna. She was only saying that disclosing tmi online would be creepy.
How on earth could she consider YOU creepy? You's a niiiiiice boy!
Are you sure? Hmm. I thought it was the fact that I remembered, and looked for the information on the cheerleaders pictures to see which one she was made it creepy, which....when I type it out, kinda seems that way. LMAO!
You're just saying that to make the Canuck in you happy.

Serious question. I created a thread where I simply said I am attractive and people jumped all over me. Do people assume you think you're better than them for saying your an attractive person? I just never understood the negative comments that follow when someone states this. It's ok to describe yourself as intelligent, funny, ambitious, whatever, but as soon as someone says they are attractive all hell breaks loose. I get that beauty is subjective , but i think that if a majority of people agree that you are good looking, it's pretty safe to say it's true. I don't get why it's ok for others to acknowledge but your supposed to pretend that you don't know. Even when someone compliments you, your supposed to act like no one else has ever mentioned it and play it off.
Pro? Don't worry too much about what anyone says. Humility does not require that you tell lies about yourself.
Anyone who believes that humility is someone attractive saying they aren't, or someone brilliant saying they're stupid, or the Worlds Strongest man pretending he's a 70 pound weakling - They don't understand humility. That's simply being false.
The question is one only you can answer: If you believe your beauty makes you of inherently more worth than another human being, then that is vanity.
Be happy you're beautiful. Celebrate all the gifts you've been given and all the things you've worked for. That's okay. It's healthy, even, as long as you can celebrate the gifts that others have been given and the things that they've worked for. Don't worry what anyone on the internet says.
If you had a daughter, you would tell her she was beautiful, brilliant, talented and wonderful. And you would hope that she would believe it, not berate her if she did. As long as you have room in your heart for other people, most people are happy for your self-confidence.

I find a lot of these responses hilarious! The truth of the matter is that people "jumped on you" in part because of jealousy. Yes, people publicly condemn egotism but a large portion of their response was geared at the fact that most people just don't respond well to a person proclaiming that he/she is "beautiful/attractive/hot/sexy/etc".
I just read an interview by ScarJo where she states that she gave the men on the set a huge confidence boost because they were around her. My initial response was "Oh Scarlett..." and I sort of shook my head but it probably was the truth. In a world of political correctness, people are so worried about being judged and called self-loving, vapid, egotistical, self-absorbed, etc.
As Metaphysique pointed out, it might have been a superfluous detail... but sometimes, it does provide context.
To all who keep making the erroneous comment that beautiful people don't know that they are beautiful, please stop! Quite frankly, most people who are attractive do know that they're attractive because besides having two functioning eyes, people generally respond differently to attractive people (common sense, though several studies have looked at this). Smart people just know how to downplay their awareness of it.
Personally, I always get a reality check when I audition for a fashion show and I see all the other girls there. It gives you a whole new perspective on what it means to be "attractive." No matter beautiful, sexy or elegant you think you are, there will always be at least 2 other girls that will make you question how you rank physically
That is why I rarely define myself by how I look. Although you won't hear me complain when others do it for me. LOL

Tempus, I agree with you 100%! I get irritated when people adopt false modesty and lie to look "humble." For example, I see a girl who is dressed very nicely and I compliment her on her appearance. She responds, "Oh this old thing?" When we both know that her hair & make-up likely took her over 1 hour, and the dress is part of this season's fashion!
If people appreciate how you look, a simple "thank you" will suffice. False modesty is just as irritating as vanity in my book.
I also like your closing comment. So many women walk around with low confidence because their parents never helped reinforce their value. That is one of the things I really appreciate my parents for.
Thank you for that reminder to call my parents! LOL!
