How much value do you place on your looks?

I was definitely way more attractive around the age 18-19 I guess. I used to work in an optic shop and I remember lots of guys used to follow me around, ask for my phone number. I am glad I left the country though, I feel way much safer here.

Here women are different for sure. Maybe I am a little old-fashioned.

Not to completely derail this thead,

But have you or @led considered carrying a weapon?

I mean, not even a gun, just some pepper spray is effective.

Shit), carry a small knife, anything that’s going to make you feel more secure and give you an edge on a potential attacker.

I do.

I don’t even feel paranoid about it but since my freshman year of college I’ve had mace on my keychain.

Goddamn, @led,

I’m sorry.

It probably is better for your sanity to stay in a group or in at night,

But still can’t recommend pepper spray enough.

Yeah, I have thought about getting some bear mace or something. I do have a small knife but I’ve heard stories about how usually if you try and defend yourself with a knife your attacker could easily take it from you and hurt you with it.

I usually hold my keys between my fingers, and dial 91 and have my hand hovering over 1 when someone is following me and I feel unsafe.

I’ve also taken a self defence course, but like @LED said, no amount of strength will help when you’re that small.

Sorry, I know this is serious,

Just trying to lighten the mood.

@GoldenRex Only a guy would have that much hair on their legs.

I still groom myself like trimming my eyebrows and goatee to short length on the goatee. I think I am handsome for being 55. Aging gracefully…growing my hair out lately…loving it.

As far as my physical apperance i love looking and feeling good. As far as it being for others not one care. For me i like looking a certain way for my own satisfaction. But unfortunately i have people who think im self centered arrogant etc because thats their focus or insecurity not mine. I am quick to give a compliment. And as far as my interest in men would quite strike you and throw you off. I like the nerd, the goth, the computer guy that sits behind the desk and types away has no friends i like the anime obssessed women wont give a time a day for a man type man. Not because he isnt wanted its because im not attracted to looks never have been as far as a guy. I do not like athletic men arrogant men men that are obssessed with looks and etc. Weird right yep thats me.

Untrue,

I’ve known some pretty hairy women.

If they quit shaving, waxing and plucking they’d look like that in a matter of weeks.

@GoldenRex Well, according to Wikipedia… men are the more hairy than women in terms of overall body hair.

My point exactly. Not about the looks. Weird people keep it fun honestly. Especially a guy that plays video games it turns me on. Not all day everyday you know but if he plays games it a plus.

Yes, men have more body hair than women,

That doesn’t mean women can’t grow some wicked leg hair though.

Besides,

It was a joke.

I think this topic concerns women more than men. Don’t get me wrong but men do groom themselves too but looks are more of a woman’s trait.

meh, i still dont care,

I really don’t envy women. On one hand it’s easier for them to find a mate, on the other it’s almost compulsory to have them around to feel safe.
