Would you?

say you're attractive out loud, in reference to yourself?

We're talking about women in the workplace and a woman in my class said, "I'm attractive. I know I'm attractive, so I'm going to use that to my benefit."

When I hear women say things like this, I'm like IndifferentConfused

I don't think I look like the Hobbit and I think it's awesome to have some level of confidence, but...humble, much?

What are your thoughts? You go girl or sit yo asss on the bench?

Re: Would you?

  • Hmmmm.

    I've said this before sorta, when I weighed about 40 lbs less. I'm stacked on top and have a great ...I did use this to sell rooms at the hotel. If men are that stupid to pay $20-$50 more a night because I shook it a little when I showed

  • Comments like that get a huge eyeroll and a silent STFU from me.

    I'm too much of a feminist to be okay with using looks to get stuff from men. 

    I am also old fashioned.  There is a lot to be said for a certain level of muted

  • While I think it's great to have such strong self confidence I also don't think it needs to be shouted from the rooftops. There's a way you can carry and present yourself that will do all the talking for you.

  • Sit yo asss on the bench. I never understood people like that.

    My sister is like this and always has been. We would go shopping and she would make comments like "that shirt would look amazing on me" instead of "oh, I love that shirt." <br /

  • Hmm. No. People who are attractive do not have to tell people they're attractive. She sounds like a dbag.

    I don't say that because I very rarely feel all that attractive, but even on those days, I don't walk around saying it out loud.

  • Yeah, she needs to be benched. No one likes someone who KNOWS they look good. Even if you look amazing, if you have that conceited attitude, you're already ugly to me. Attraction is more about the character.

    Humility goes a long way in outward an

  • Oh God, this is one of those things I can't stand. If you have to point out how cute/smart/rich you are, you're probably not. Huge eye roll.
  • Was there men around? A lot of times I feel like women say stuff like that just for self validation.

    I have, in conversation, said things along the lines if, "bish, I know I look good!" Not randomly, or in a smug, cocky way.

  • My first thought was that she probably had no self confidence, was looking for someone to agree with her, and maybe had some type of procedure done to make her look or feel good.

  • It gets an eye roll from me.

    When I was in college, my roommate had a friend who used to come to our dorm and the two of them would sit there in front of the mirror examining their lips, nose, eyes, bone structure, etc. and arguing for hours on a

  • Eww. I hate people that are that full of themselves.

    Most of the time, they really aren't that attractive.

  • Do I think I'm attractive? Yes. Would I say it to others? No.

    That being said im pretty sure that's exactly what I just did.

  • wouldn't ever say it out loud, and don't really feel it right now.  40 lbs ago, sure but even then I still didn't say anything out loud.  but I've always been insecure about it.  people used to say I was pretty, but as it was family/BF I

  • I would not.

    When anyone says anything like that I always think, "yeah, good luck with that in 10-15 years", and feel sorry for them.  If they are using their looks to get by, they'll be in a world of hurt in a few years...

  • I know I'm not an ugly girl because I know my SO is drop dead sexy and I wouldn't have snagged him if I hadn't caught his eye first. But in no way shape or form would I ever go around talking out loud about being attractive or how hot I am. I have some

  • I would never go there.... not ever! That would make me look like a total vain arrogant @$$ and I would think the same even if a perfect 10 chick dared spit that out!

    "...use that to my benefit!" say whaaa?
