Earlier today I got talking to a couple who said "oh we messaged you on fab and you didn't reply". I told them that the reason was probably because they were both stunning and I was a bit intimidated by that. I found it hard to accept they'd want to meet someone like me.

Weirdly I'm now on the opposite side where someone I like thinks I can't possibly like them because I'm younger and in their opinion "hot" and has called things off between us.

I can see things from both sides. I am judging them by how I feel rather than allowing them to show me different and I feel bad for that now I can see it from their side. It doesn't change my insecurities though.

I may be rambling but it just made me think about how accepting we are of others opinions.

Do you accept that people are attracted to you regardless of how you see them? Do you think you match up or do you care?

We all say there are no leagues and everyone is the same but is it just the case that we rate ourselves and compare others to that standard?

Does it ever stop you talking to or meeting someone?

Do you ever think about how it feels for them?

Is it a struggle for those deemed more attractive because of this?

Yep. I have grown to recognise that others can recognise things in me and feel attracted to me in ways I hadn’t imagined. Over recent years I’ve closed the gap in the windows of how others see me and how I see myself and I’m far more self accepting than my self-deprecating ‘humour’ might suggest.

I use the term ‘humour’ lightly as many wouldn’t find what I say funny at all

It is a problem.

I'm a crap flirt and have confidence issues. I only message those whose forum posts interest me. This in turns can lead to a conversation where I can get to know the lady better.

If we seem to click, a friend request may follow.

All the ladies on my friend list are hot in my view. Some have even suggested a social.

At this point the self doubt kicks in. They can do much better than me. They have done much better than me, etc etc.

I can either tie myself up im knots believing I am punching well above my weight, or I can just accept that they like me as a person, irrespective of my own hang-ups about my appearance.

There are some on my hotlist that I have yet to build up the courage to message because of the fear of rejection or even ridicule.

Overanalysis induced paralysis is not the thing to have on here.

I might just start messaging ladies more often. If they don't reply it will be like I didn't message at all, which is where I am now!

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Attraction often works in mysterious ways and sometimes we can't offer up a clear explanation of why we "fancy" this or that person. I believe that is what makes this a fascinating subject.

If you keep this idea in mind, it makes it easier to accept when people whom we think wouldn't give us a second glance do, and likewise.

Oh crumbs - you are absolutely one of my favourite people on the forums, ID!

And, to be fair, you too Rubi.

The thought of either of you having confidence issues has startled me. But then, I can be an idiot.

I genuinely have an issue with talking to guys on here if I see from their veris that they have gone for ‘slim’ or ‘athletic’ physiques in the past. It’s like a block in my throat that stops me from bubbling over like I usually do. I find myself asking, “Why me?”

There was also the douch who asked for a full body photo of me, then blocked me on Whatsapp/fab the second I sent it. That didn’t help.

At the end of the day though, I’m up front in my profile about being a big girl and know that if someone is chatting to me then they must be aware of that and don’t care.

This place, while it is often trite and sometimes seedy, challenges you in ways you don’t expect. I think I am probably more confident now than I was, and certainly more self aware.

Funny old place. *grins*

We are happy to meet most socially... only then can we decide if theres a mutual attraction. We do tend to be attracted to couples of similar age and size to ourselves and like you we would find it impossible to think that two young hotties with superfit bodies would be interested in us.

This is where club/social meets work best for us

I recently made friends with a really gorgeous guy. We have been chatting and getting on really well. A few days ago he had a meet with an incredible looking woman, younger than me with a perfect body.

I'm now not going to meet him because I would feel embarrassed compared to her. I really have become so hung up on things, I'm killing myself with self doubt and it's ruining my Fab experience. I think it stems from events on here in the past, it's knocked my confidence really badly and I don't know how to fix it.

Everyone has self doubt it’s human nature, It just doesn’t help so I decided a few years back that I can’t be for everyone and vice versa. You need to be confident or at least portray it because we all want to feel that we have met someone who can be your rock if needed x

I definitely don't consider myself good looking..... and far from ripped.... rather rough around the edges to be honest..... but there's someone for everyone.

Every now and then someone sees something they like in me and something they find attractive.

On somewhere like Fab first impressions count and thats normally the profile pic..... so some people don't get a look in.

There’s a funny truism about confidence. If you act confidently the more confident you feel. So fake it until you make it.

The other trick I’ve found is the voice of your inner critic in your head sort of works like a mental radio, but with clever features.

You can turn the volume up and down like a normal radio and switch it off all together. If you want a laugh you can change it’s voice and tone, even make it sound like Donald Duck.

Don’t let that miserable fucker ruin how you feel about yourself and take control of your inner radio

I kniw it's a cliche but beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I've met people who are massively negative about themselves body wise. But they were attractive as a package in my eyes...fun, easy to talk with and likeminded. To compare is surely the worst thing you can do?

I really do think you can't firm a prooer opinion until you're face to face.

It’s something I struggle with on a daily basis. Lots of men and couples contact us and pay me compliments and I think what are they seeing because I’m not that person they’re talking about. And some of these people are what I’d call very hot, yet they want me.

It wouldn’t stop me meeting anyone but I know it’s my insecurities making me question why. Yet I have told men and ladies who’ve questioned their appeal that they’re gorgeous but I’m not good at accepting the same advice in return. X

I think most of us have had self confidence knocks during our lives. Most people I talk to site childhood remarks which have stayed with them all their lives.

I, myself was openly told I was ugly by more than one girl at school and that sewed a very large seed in my confidenceless life.

I find that often the women I'm most attracted to can be a bit intimidated or unsure of why I like them. It's most frustrating when the very thing they are most insecure about is the very thing that I find most attractive about them, and convincing them of that is tough going.

Us men can be naive too. I've completely ignored some women because I assume they wouldn't be interested due to age, interests, distance etc. We do the same thing. I don't know why Rubidoux turns me down though. She's quite hot.

That's a really interesting observation. I am naturally aware of who may, or more accurately, not be attracted to me. I also know there are many factors that dictates attraction eg looks, age, physique, personality, sexual preferences etc...

I think you can only be yourself, accept yourself and see where you fit in, especially in this community.

I've oddly been in both situations, but not to the point where anyone has called things off.

I'm always a little skeptical about attraction towards me, that's my issue though.

But that did mean I was very surprised when I sent a message to someone and they said that they were surprised that I had noticed them.

If someone finds me attractive who am I to question that? So what if I'm not as pretty or as young or as slim as their last meet. She may well have other issues. People on here are rarely all they seem. I certainly wouldn't let it put me off meeting someone I like. I'm not into self sabotage. I won't let any insecurity I may have hinder my enjoyment. If I did then to me, there'd be no point being here if I only allow myself second best. It's not fair to me and it's not fair to those I meet as I'd be insulting them because I don't regard them as out of my league. Does that even make sense? Probably not as I seem to think differently to most.

Exactly this. I wouldn't go as far as to say I am humorously self-deprecating though; I happen to think I am fairly attractive (in my personal aesthetic view) despite my many physical flaws (or what I perceive/think the bulk of society perceives to be flaws) and just assume at some point I will encounter those who apparently agree with my self analysis so we can have a rollicking good sexy time.

I'm self conscious about my looks. In the past I've had a few girlfriends and only ever asked 1 girl out. All the others have asked me out. So I should think I can't be that bad? It doesn't matter what people say to you. They can say you're a good looking person but unless you think you are then no one can say otherwise. That's why I Dont have good pics in my profile. I look in the mirror and I do think I'm not that bad but when I see a photo of me I look stupid.... There's only a few photos that I think its OK.

So the point is self belief is the only way you will truly feel beautiful.

This whole attraction malarkey is a very tough thing for me to feel comfortable with due to - like so many others have cited - stuff which has gone on in the past. Because of that, I've spent the vast majority of my adult life feeling ugly to the extent that for many years I literally couldn't look at myself in a mirror without feeling repulsed and upset at my reflection.

Thankfully I don't have such an extreme reaction to my looks now but I still carry that legacy of very little self esteem, which is further exacerbated by being dreadfully socially awkward. And of course, even leaving aesthetics aside, I appreciate that having a healthy amount of confidence is very attractive to most people and my lack of it could have the opposite effect.

So far as others on Fab are concerned I admit I'm often very cynical about their interest in me - how much real attraction is there, vs how much I'm 'attractive' in the particular moment they contact me. I don't know how to get out of that mindset (because I do appreciate it's actually somewhat insulting to presume to know someone else's mind better than they do) other than to try to reassure myself via the way they write (showing interest in me, respect and thoughtfulness for example rather than jumping straight into what they want to do to me which makes me feel as if any old female would do!). I admit that in the past I've backed away from a number of contacts because I didn't understand how/why they could be interested in me and I feel ashamed of that because potentially they might have ended up thinking I didn't find *them* attractive! When in fact I felt 'intimidated' by their good looks and popularity And though repeat meets, logically, should speak for themselves I still find it amazing when they've happened for me.

The most ridiculous thing is that when I write all that down I feel embarrassed and stupid.

Sometimes I look at my long term partner and wonder what he sees in me. Then, I remember we have amazing sex, and stop wondering.

Jokes aside, I do still wonder what attracted him to me originally, as I only had face pics showing. If we're talking leagues here, he's way above me.

Im a man who lives in a cave with my dogs. Perhaps that says all it needs to say.

I have read this entire thread every post and so much others have said resonates with me. Thank you all for sharing so much of yourselves on here. I am not only in awe of your ability to do so but also a little sad that I lack the words or ability to match the bravery of so many who have said so much about how they see themselves and how they think others see them.

My own flaws and failings are legion and maybe more apparent to those that know me than I would like them to be.

But we can all only ever be true to ourselved and hope that somewhere along the line people see past our own self perceptions to something more than we see in ourselves.

My sentiments exactly and I apologise for borrowing them. But if this chap has been talking to you for a year, you have refused to meet in the past and yet he still chats to you. I think that tells you everything. Go for it, I suspect you will be happy with the result. If all you want from the frienship is chit chat then leave it as it is.

Not something that really bothers me but I’ve always been fairly confident and content with myself

I’m not onefor really believing in the concept of “leagues”

I have been speaking to a few ladies that i would have said were way out of my league... but they seem to like me enough to want to talk when i see them... maybe this fug is not as bad as I thought I was?

"I recently made friends with a really gorgeous guy. We have been chatting and getting on really well. A few days ago he had a meet with an incredible looking woman, younger than me with a perfect body.

I'm now not going to meet him because I would feel embarrassed compared to her. I really have become so hung up on things, I'm killing myself with self doubt and it's ruining my Fab experience. I think it stems from events on here in the past, it's knocked my confidence really badly and I don't know how to fix it.

Everyone is diff what floats ones boat won’t float the others it’s simple. We are all as good looking as the next person don’t get hung up on perceived beauty that is pushed upon you by others.
