Poll question: Do you consider yourself attractive?
Well.. I consider you ALL attractive (if you're here, you can't be all bad right?), but what do YOU think?

24. Yup. Wittenberg.
Of course, if you were by the base, you were nearer to Fairborn than Dayton....

26. Stebbins
I wasn't near Wright-Pat but Patterson off Airway Road. We played Fairborn in BBall. I went to Stebbins my Frosh and Soph years. It was a pretty lousy High School but the cafeteria food was good(government subsidised).

You wouldn't happen to be a young physicist who described the 'One-Photon universe', would you. (I have a friend with the same screen name...)

38. Good Question...
You may of course be aware that the universe is only as real as its quantitative and observable properties allow it to be. Knowing this we can assume (and have for years now) that observation and interpretation are in part a CAUSE of the collapse of probability into measurable quanta. This being true (we will assume for the sake of argument), we can presume that sub-atomic interactions are actually the residue of these 'cosmic sub-quantifiable strings' (we're working on the quantification now). These 'strings' represent sets of dimensions bubbling around at the very sub-atomic level. They are partially immeasurable due mostly to their non-direct correlation to time, and in most instances space. What may be most remarkable about some of these dimensions is that they may have a basis in thought itself. A kind of 'Universal Consciousness' may well have the facets to operate through this medium. Being part of of that consciousness would quite qualify you as having A paralell relationship to the quantum probability collapse resolving into the empirical universe. You, therefore, have an effect on string mechanics itself while it conversly affects you.

In conclusion.... you probably need better pick-up lines...

6. Dunno...
..."attractive" is such a broad adjective. I consider myself to be attractive because I have a bright, cheery face with sharp, intelligent eyes and and a huge curiosity for the world. I am not thin; I am curvy and short. But men seem to find me to be adorable, so all is right.
In general, I am quite happy with myself, even if I would like to lose 20 pounds :)

8. When I was about 25 or so

I reached my peak. I was working in a steel fabrication shop and had a body like a brick. I was hanging out on the beach in my spare time,so I had a good tan and the sun had streaked my long flowing hair a nice shade of gold.

Now I'm 40, gray, balding and have a good start on a "spare tire" around the middle. Enjoy it while you have it kids, it ain't forever. :(

But few people consider me "attractive." Perhaps I just end up rubbing everybody the wrong way after a while.

17. I'm probably average
I'm "cute" or "weird-looking," depending on who you ask (and depending on how well I've cleaned up). I've never been a "hottie," never really been interested in being a hottie.

37. I've got a pretty attractive face, but a partly sloppy body.
My arms, biceps and calves are buff, but my torso and thighs are um, how do I put this... FAT.

41. I'm of a divided opinion
My husband thinks that I'm attractive as do apparently some other guys. I've been made fun of for my appearance though, strangely by other women as recently as age 22 when I thought that I looked pretty good. I don't really look like anyone that the media considers attractive. My body is probably more attractive than my face, which I suppose could look better with a good make up job and eye brow shaping. I am out of proportion though. My limbs are tiny and my waist and chest are of bigger dimensions, which makes me look freakish. My hair is a bit freakish too. It frizzes easily and is greasy at the scalp but dry at the ends. It is also multi colored within the hair (I saw the multicolors under a microscope even), which looks strange too.
Some day I might have the courage to post a picture of how freakish I am.

42. I KNOW I'm handsome
that is after all, what my name "Kenneth" means.

What straight women or gay men think when they see me covers a fairly wide spectrum, but not quite to the edges.

I've never seen anyone actually shudder, turn and run; nor has anyone tried to tear my clothes off on the spot.

Some women I appeal to, others I do not. I figure that puts me in the more-or-less-avverage range.

But I am working my ass off - along with a lot of other people - to get John Kerry North Carolina's electoral votes. Does that at least make me a little appealing?
