Now that reeks of being afraid what the mean voters might say about you It's ok, I understand.

Just telling the truth. Lots of (superficial) people out there don't like big dudes, even if we are physically fit..........

Believe it or not though, I really do get unsolicited compliments from women.

Well that's more than I can say, girls usually don't hit on guys much. I've had girls at bars hit on me before after a few drinks, that's always kind of interesting, I don't expect it from girls. They expect it from us.

People who talk like you are usually so-so in a scale of 1 to 10.

I dunno if it's being hit on or just complimented. At work women always compliment me on my clothes, etc..........a few times I have been stared at and told how handsome I was. I was so unnerved I left the room.......

haha, pretty much. I was nervous the first time I posted a picture on HotOrNot, because you're always wondering where you really stand, but overall to me it was more of a confidence booster than I thought it might be.

Ok. I am going out on a limb here and post my experiences. When I was younger I was always told I was very beautiful, but I was very shy and didn't talk much. So in high school I didn't get asked out a lot, until my husband asked me out (He had B@@llS) So, in college now my confidence was up and I talked to more people, but really, because of my attractiveness, whenever I was friendly to a man, he would think "Alright....door WIDE open...flirting time" even though they knew I was married!! So it was constant hit ons even by professors One professor, gave me a B- on one of my courses, so I set up an appointment to talk with him about my grade. When I walked in the door, he stared at me and he said, I made a mistake, you get an A!!! I am not kidding! So through the years, I have learned to make as little eye contact with men, lest they start hitting on me. I am NOT being paranoid and I see this starting to happen with my 17 year old daughter who looks just like me! She is starting to notice that just because she is nice and friendly all the guys think she is available (she's got a boyfriend) and it's constant hitting time!! Alas, she is learning by herself how to act around men.
I tell you a story, when I was about 25 years old, and fresh out of college, I interviewed for a job. The first interview, woman interviewer. Second interview, young guy and the same woman. It was between me and another candidate. Guess who got the job?? When this young guy came in, he took one look at me, and I could see that he could hardly contain his joy! He hired me on the spot. He and I worked closely for the next three months, after which I quit, because he was becoming possessive even though, again, he KNEW I was married. Now, it happens to me with younger guys. I am 38 now, and I don't think I look like when I was 25, but it still happens. I am just telling my experiences, thank goodness I developed a personality, and a great sense of humor, or else I would have become a very shallow, beautiful girl growing up. Plus I am smart too
So, yeah..I tend not to talk to many men, or be friendly..lest they get the wrong idea.

What are you talking about? "pretty much".

I look hot. I keep in shape, I'm trendy, I try not to overeat, I stay out of the sun, bleach my teeth, have clear skin, a slight tan, about 6 feet tall, full dark hair, nice bulge, and fine features....a lot of people think I'm a freshmen in college or still in HS. lol.
So why the heck would I go on HotorNot. You should know if you look good or not and not rely on some stupid website.

If you have flaws you can always fix them. I've done that over the years because like Jonathan I was a nerd in HS and I've improved a lot ever since.
I hope I'm a great role model to all the ugly nerds out there

HAHA, you're great Artsy. I'm just giving you a tough time. I know what you mean, flaws are fixable for the most part, some are easier than others, but with enough effort almost anyone can be at least somewhat good looking. Most people don't try that hard. It sure is easier to complain about other people being superficial, the world being unfair, and to spend your days bitching and moaning than it is to actually do anything about it. And it's a LOT easier to put up a shield about how you're unique and you're happy with how you look and blah blah etc. than to bother actually trying to look good. Ah, reminds me of one of my favorite sayings -- "Hard work often pays off after time. But laziness always pays off now."
