Content-Free Friday #212: On modesty
results
Fill in the blank:
Other reasons you had trouble with today's first question:
I'm not sure what I look like to people who don't see me in the mirror every day
at the moment "pregnant" best fits me :P (isn't "radiant" the traditional adjective?)
not enough space here to fully explain
I picture a "type" for each one and i don't *exactly* match any of them
I'm an insecure egoist. My answer is really dependent on which of those extremes I'm feeling more.(me too)
Felt like handsome didn't quite do it -- needed a "dangerously handsome" option. (I love this answer.)

Have always hated terms that feel charged with femininity...pretty and beautiful fall in that category. And, actually, I feel like sexy does too (though it probably doesn't make any sense to anyone but me).
I think that I have an attractive face because it is interesting...but cute feels like it goes a bit far...but I checked it anyway.
I don't have enough confidence to say I'm handsome...but I have a friend who makes a point of telling me that I am all the time. I think she's trying to make me feel better about myself.
Culturally, women are a lot more likely to get called sexy, so I can kind of see it. I couldn't think of a lot of masculine terms that really captured different versions of attractiveness in the same way. Most of the ones I could think of felt like they were providing people with cop-out options if they didn't think they were attractive and wanted to answer other, and I was specifically trying to avoid that.
I'm told I was called a "prettyboy" by someone who didn't know me. I thought that was funny. I do recognize that I'm a fairly feminine guy, but I don't feel like I put enough effort into my appearance to earn "prettyboy"
