Arrogance is a big turn off for me. I think it is sexy if a guy has some insecurities, rather than that whole macho male ego thing.

But what about guys who are secure about their looks but have insecurities about other things? Would they still turn you off?

I wouldn't agree that a man thinking he looks good is macho by itself.

It depends on what they're insecure about. I guess what bothers me about people bragging about their looks is that looks aren't everything. There are a lot of things that are more important than appearances IMO.

So, you would fall in love with a guy who wouldn't look as attractive as TomRenegade?

Yup, as long as he had the right qualities.

I'v reached the point where I'm secure enough not to care about what people think about my insecurities!  They're part of the package!
Deal with it! :laugh:

What qualities would these be?

I agree but I think its good for people to be comfortable in their own skin,  plus you also seem to be assuming that 'hotness' is all about looks.

all i know is that trial and error has taught me some very valuable lessons about myself.

my looks have opened many doors for me.  being the weird guy was accepted, since i was among the beautiful people.  thing is that people will forgive a person of many of their quirks, just so long as they accepted as good looking.  bottom line: that is how society judges people initially.  that is not my fault that the rules are as they are.  nor is it my fault that i have had an easier go of things than many people here, simply because of my looks.
and, i will not allow myself to be held back, and deny what my looks have brought me.  so what.

i do know for a fact that, if it wasn't for my looks then i would not be where i am today.  for that i will not apologise, nor will i make excuses.
i have already stated this, but i thank god for my gene pool.

Yeah, nice place Dragoon, but like Pyraxis, I'd go nuts until I did something with the walls!

My self confidence and esteem is abysmal, pretty much because of my life circumstances. Physical apperance wise, I get remarks every so often, I am handsome. Personally I know I am not ugly and statisfed with my 'looks', I would love to lose 9 to 13kgs (I'm currently 81kgs), I lost 9 kgs this time last year.

McJagger your experiences seem to mirror mine, I feel people are forgiving of my weird nature for the same reasons you are.

What height are you, and what methods do you use to lose weight?  Would you consider staying the same weight and working towards changing your fat-to-muscle ratio?

Hotness is definitely not all about looks. If someone is physically attractive, I'll find them unattractive if I don't like their personality. People can also be "hot" if their personality is "hot", even if they aren't that physically attractive. Also, I took away "hotness" points from McJagger because he was tooting his own horn. ;)
