    This question is basically dependent on your confidence in your looks, but I was thinking about it when on a dating site a few days ago. If you were on a dating site as someone else and you saw a picture of you, do you think you would view your profile?

    Quite honestly, since I'm not that confident and picky as hell, I think I would just skip over my picture and go on to the next guy.

    (You're allowed to be as arrogant / confident as you want with this question) - lol.

    Probably. I didn't used to feel that way, but I'm fairly happy with how I look, and sometimes get these moments where I'm like, hey, I actually look hot. And I guess it helps that I'm precisely my own type, that is, queer punk and androgynous.

    You'll learn to love yourself lovetoomuch (*hug*)

    Honestly, no, lol. Probably because I don't want to date someone who looks like me.

    [EDIT] Not to say that I think I'm ugly or something, but physically, I don't want to date someone who looks like they can be related to me.

    I'll say it again; I'm not my type. I don't think I'm ugly (far from it, apparently), but we all have our preferences, and I don't fit mine. As simple as that. It doesn't affect my self-esteem in any way tho, since I'm pretty sure I do fit a lot of other people's preferences. Trying to think objectively about whether you are "hot" or not is pretty silly anyway, since that is inherently a subjective matter.

    I'd marry myself if I could.. however I'm afraid of being seen as a first class narcissist XD.
    Lolz. I think I would check out my profile just because I'd think I look different than others.

    I just thought it would be an interesting question because I believe the people with more confidence would respond a lot different than someone with no confidence. It also shows if you are interested in someone similar to yourself.

    Oh sure. I wasn't trying to rain on your parade, just giving my own take. I don't think you need to be into you in order to be confident, knowing others will does the trick, is all I'm saying.

    Ha, no. Look at me; no way in hell. I am not a good-looking man. Maybe if I could actually pass as a guy (which is, of course, the eventual goal) I might actually be pretty hot, but right now? :roflmao:

    don't wanna be cocky, but heck yeah. Not so much cause I'm sexy or anything though haha. I'm relatively good looking(if I do say so myself), but more than that, I think I have a friendly, approachable appearance. If I were on a dating site I would be looking for decent human beings, not so much someone who was hot. Though that can't really hurt.

    I'm confident, that I'm the self proclaimed most beautiful thing in the history of the entire planet. Maybe even the galaxy, in fact, all aliens are terrifying savages, so, definitely the universe.. and maybe even other universes! It all depends on whether i exist in them or not.

    A big NO. I wouldn't waste my time like that. Yeah I have low self esteem and zero confidence. I am not my own type anyway so I won't waste my or anyone else's time. It's a matter of just keep scrolling...

    I couldn't date someone like me. I'm too neurotic.

    With that said, if I didn't know me, and I saw my face on a profile, I honestly don't know if I'd talk to me or not. Based on looks alone? No. I'd need to see something in the profile that would make me worth talking to. So here's to hoping Not Me Me is chatty about their interests, because that's probably the only way I'd hit me up.

    I'm not on any dating sites, but if I were, and assuming I have an option here, my profile pic would probably be of some anime character rather than myself. In that case, yes. I'd probably look into Other Me's profile. I'm not sure if I'd actually develop an interest in them, though.

    And, in the case that I'm without option or for the sake of the original meaning of this forum, would I check out my profile based on my profile picture? Depends. On the off chance that I did, probably not because I thought that I'm hot, and found interest in -- assuming we're identical -- Other Me's own interest... then, yeah, probably?

    I'd have myself for a boyfriend but there are only one of me in the world...unfortunately. Wouldn't do it for looks though, only for personality. I like someone with my personality.
