Yes, sounding very insecure and possibly obsessed with my looks. I normally don't care that much about those things, but lately people look at me weird. I mean, they always have, if I talked, what with my accent and didactic manner of speaking. So I learned to be quiet. But perhaps I look like someone? Perhaps they think there's something weird? Or maybe they think I'm pretty? I don't know. A lot of people think I am a lesbian, based on my appearance. I'm asexual, it seems, although I detest that word because it makes me think of mitosis. I just cannot grasp what people are thinking about me. I don't really do that much to myself to attract men or anything. I wear makeup when I'm playing Velma from Scooby-Do in my sister's videos. But, other than that, my morning routine is "am I wearing some sort of clothing? Is it weather-appropriate? Would I miss it if I spilled chemicals on it? Is my hair not sticking straight up? Am I wearing shoes?" I'm a "grown-up" now, but I still feel like a little girl, who doesn't worry about those things. I can't tell beauty in others. I think they're all neat-looking. So I'm kind of stuck. Please don't think this is weird. I don't think it would register well in the non-internet world if I went around asking "am I attractive to you?"
Thank you.

You look intelligent, and you're pretty, I think. Your hair is quirky, but you're nice looking. You look slightly Russian to me.

I've kinda been where you are right now. That moment when you weren't worried about what people thought of you and then all of a sudden...it's the only thing one thinks about! Unfortunately, this happened to me at a fairly young age, so I don't even recall what I did to get over it, other than to simply keep occupied with the talents you're good at :?

Pseudo narcissism?

You're very cute, quirky, child like and French looking, and if you lived in my area, I'd definitely approach you.

I agree, you are pretty, there is definitely no reason to worry.

And apparently you walk on your tiptoes! Not that that would take away from your appearance.

That would be creepy if I hadn't posted that thread.... :P And my mother is French, my dad from Siberia. Interesting story how they met, but I'll not bore you with that. :P

Product of the good genes I see...

Kinda funny how Wolfheart could guess that so quick by just looking at your avi.

You're good looking.

If you're struggling in dating, then your problem isn't in the looks but probably how you present yourself.

I live in between London and Paris, plus I have travelled across France and been to quite a few French cities so maybe that's why.

Yes, you are very attractive. That pic looks like it was taken while you were either blinking, moving or about to say a word though. But I can still tell from it, that you are very nice looking.

You have skin that I'd kill for!

Here, i guess this 70% of your problem.

I know, because it's probably mine.


It's in your inability to show sex appeal, since you're asexual then you're normally unable to show it.

I am heterosexual, but women (and people in general) often don't see any sex appeal in me, i know that from their remarks. Back to the school days, I was often thought to be "sexually dysfunctional" or gay, once i was asked by a colleague in high school whether I am able to get an erection or not.

I once overheard my friend trying to convince a girl that I like girls, when i showed up, he was like "tell her that you like girls!", I said yes I do but she didn't sound so convinced! I dunno, maybe I should have grabbed her ass back then? lol


Even to this day, I am still projecting a similar first impression, recently i flirted a woman and she was like "so you can be naughty after all!" in a surprised tone.

So I dunno what to say, what I figured that it's a very unattractive trait I have, maybe next time i should walk around and show my boner to them? lol.

Also just to point out, if you have travelled to various countries, you can usually tell how people differ in nationality by their facial structure. There may not be a great difference in some nationalities but there is enough difference to be able to discern which country they are from.
