I Have a Question

@Redstar I've seen numerous posts on EP in that group ''I want to know if you think I'm attractive" and I have [u]never seen[/u] anyone say anything negative about a person posting the picture and I said "directly at least" because I don't know what people are talking behind someone's back. And hold on a minute, don't you think you're contradicting yourself a bit? You say that people are most likely going to say negative things about someone's picture and then you say that people who actually post those photos are people who are generally unhappy with their appearance and want to to hear positive things to make them feel better, well if the first statement is true, why would they want to do that? Wouldn't they be scared of having to deal with negative comments? And from the way you're trying to defend those people's actions, I can see that you completely misunderstood my post because 1) no one is attacking anyone here 2) I spent majority of my childhood and early teenage years being insecure about myself and constantly comparing myself to models, going on strict diets and exercise routines and since come from that past I can very well understand how is to struggle with your body image but I also know that the only one who can do something about that is you, positive self talk and spending more time loving yourself are the only things that work. Old men's flattery?
-not really.

What rock have you been living under? No, seriously, I'd like to move there. It sounds much more pleasant. Anyway, people constantly say negative things about other peoples appearance over the internet, whether they were asked to or not (though it seems like asking will give more negative comments than not).
And people who do that are generally unhappy with their appearance and just want to read something positive about themselves so they feel better. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be complimented and I don't understand why people look down at someone who admits that they do. Like it's such a terrible thing to want to have nice things said about you... and it's not like they're forcing people to say anything.
About number 2.. that's easy to say and in an ideal world that is how we'd all think but that's not how the world is right now, there's all this judgement and pressure to look a certain way regardless of gender but mostly for females. It's not easy for everyone to just ignore it all.

I'm more puzzled by the ones who post a fake pic and ask that! Lol... 😂😂😂

Well that's your opinion isn't it? I personally would not do it but I have no issue with anyone that does. It's better than reading bed wetters and people who get off on being spanked.

I have seen people say negative things about a person who posts such a picture.
The predators are super nice though. They figure someone with a low self esteem would be easier to manipulate.

ANOTHER THING: This post was mostly directed at so called "attention whores" I'm not inconsiderate I wouldn't post something about a person who already has a low self esteem. If you knew me, you would have known that I always try to help others who are struggling with their self esteem.

[c=#BF0080]Yeah, I seen a few of those too. They're insecure and need peoples validation. Insecurity at it's finest lol. 🙄[/c]

I think it's because they think they are attractive and love compliments maybe

[c=#BF0080]There's just no way around it.. if you're posting a pic of yourself, esp a more provocative one and asking do you think I'm attractive.. then YES you are the definition of a attention whore. All it's saying is look at me, look at me.[/c]

@Candy Yes, that's my opinion. I didn't say I had anything against people who do that. It's just that we all have mirrors,I have one at home and It always shows me how I look, I can't expect from others to tell me that. That wouldn't be objective, it would be their perception of me-not reality. I have flaws, we all do, but no matter how insecure I feel, I know that posting a picture of myself on an anonymous site and asking others to rate how I look wouldn't be something that would help me deal with my insecurities. It would only attract creepy old men who think they can flatter their way into getting nudes or whatever.

I got blocked by some chick as my answer was you are ok i guess, so she blocked me, i guess she was one of the many who just wanted lies to make herself feel more attractive

Hm, originalme, I got your point but it's about feeling accepted. You're talking about how you feel and what you're doing. Half of the world are not like that. Looking at mirrors won't make you feel satisfied about yourself. Some think it's better to share on the internet than walking in the crowds. It's how it is. People are different. Everyone has different struggles, different actions.

Nothing wrong with sharing your picture if your intention is not being attention whore (speaking in general not you personally :P)

I dont understand she asked for an opinion then blocked if she didnt like the answer

Haha I wouldn't want to know the truth!

Pink said it. They are insecure and want validation.

Amen. Totally agree

Most of them are young guys or dirty old men with a pic of someone they found online...The replies and attention get them off...

About #1, they actually do say something negative directly, and can be painful. Seen it happen to someone.

4. Too many pervs and trolls
5. It encourages people to care more about appearance

It is ALL about attention and compliments and a bit of exhibitionism.

I always want to tell them they are ugly, just to tease, but I never dare to 😔

Uh extremenext! See why ask if you can't deal with the truth lol

i agree with all three points xD

You're not wrong.

@Myzery My point exactly the sexual predators are always the nicest ones!
I've never seen anyone say negative things about someone's appearance on EP but I've seen plenty around the Internet.

I'd be like "do you think I'm attractive?" Someone says no I've seen better. Like yeah! I kinda thought so myself lol

Sometimes its just good for the confidence I guess. I thought about it just to see but I was scared of all the creepy old men!

Ilostmypants Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one haha!👌🏻😁
