Sell themselves like many men do via messages/status/profile, with regards to looks? They state attractive, handsome or good looking.
I appreciate confidence but since looks are subjective, this selling point seems pointless.
Surely we all simply have faces only a mother could love  |

I don’t state anything about my appearance in my profile (except the ones where you choose a body type etc). I send my face pic if I like someone, and they can decide.  |

No. I would never dream of stating if I am attractive or not. Thats up to the person viewing my pic to decide. I generally roll my eyes to heaven when I see this stated on a profile....turn off.

Ah you're still posting! Good.
Erm, I'm much the same as Lucie but I have seen women who have those things on their profile. I think if someone is confident enough in their physical attributes to state it, I'm all for it. Too often we downplay our own attractiveness and if there's ever a time to feel yourself, it's on here surely. |

I don’t mention anything except that i’m a larger lady. I’m not what you would class as conventially attractive so i know i’ll be an acquired taste. They get a face pic and they can make their own minds up. |

Are we simply the wiser gender, or not known for blowing our trumpets? |

The saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is so true.
There are very few people who are categorised as universally beautiful. |

I tried it myself "attractive woman seeks...", but it doesn't sit well with me. Using humour is good  |

You really can't beat meeting people in real life. Expectations from online interaction can often be shattered by face to face interaction. Likewise there's people I (and as a couple we) have not really taken to online but when you meet them in a club or party you actually realise you quite like them and vice versa.
That's why I much prefer clubs where you can meet people in the flesh and get a better idea. |

Exactly. Of course some people are gorgeous to anyone who views them but IMO...vanity is a terrible thing. Self confidence is good but there is a thin line between that and vanity. And someone stating they are attractive is vanity to me. |

Agree. Guys always said I am better in person. HATE all face pics of me....self esteem. Meeting in person is much better. |

I’m not sure... It just doesn’t fit with me personally to describe myself as attractive. However, if someone asked me to describe my best attributes (outside of Fab), I’d have no issue saying things like I’m intelligent, driven, caring, empathic... etc. How I look physically wouldn’t be top of my list of any description of myself, so I guess that translates onto here too (ie if I wouldn’t do it elsewhere why here?). If that makes sense? |

I do also agree with this. If people want to upplay (not a word?!) their own perceived attractiveness, where better to do it than on here. |

Personally I don’t state myself as attractive, it’s all relative!
I do like confidence though and it is seen in profiles and it doesn’t sway me one way or another, I hold my own opinion. |

And I suppose that’s kind of my point - it’s for others to look and decide. and thank you. |

Thought provoking question OP, something I had never thought about re men with such blurb. I would never dream of it, interestingly I have never thought of the males behind such profiles as being vain or full of themselves either. Don't think I've met any either. Like a few posters have said, my looks are very much unconventional - I shave my hair for starters - the lady in Skunk Anansie level. That is either a turn on or turn off when I send my face pics lol |

It's always a tightrope walk really. I'm slim.I brush up pretty good, but I'm not a gym fit, muscle guy.
I rarely message anyone. But send a face pic when I do. I get messaged by women and couples occasionally. If they have veris, I check out who they've met before to judge if I think I'm their type. 9 times out of 10 I just delete their message.
I hate terms like alpha male, BBC/BWC etc as they're all subjective. As is handsome.

"Not at all. If someone says I look nice, especially if haven’t seen the face, I’m quick to say well photos don’t move and everything wobbles and is squidgy haha "
Haha that’s what I say! You can’t hide the wobbly bits in real life and I’m quite good with camera angles  |

In my opinion both of us are attractive facially. We don't put it on our profile because as you say it might not be other people's opinion.
On here women promote themselves by body type and sexual ability. |

Words for guys and pictures for ladies, but it is still marketing ourselves to gain attention.
Back to a common theme though women generally are looking for a type of male which they will deny!!! ... that looks matter the old cliche "it's not looks its personally " how many women go to a club, bar, pub .... see the fat bold guy in the corner and think wow bet he's got an amazing personality I'd like date him.... rather then the Adonis that has a personality of a neanderthal.
So guys tend to try to describe themselves rather than pictures.

I don't think females sell themselves as much as males via the written word, think we're generally aren't confident to do that.
Though I think on here women sell themselves via pics better than males in my opinion. |

Nah, I'm probably the first to point out my lumps, bumps and scars rather than my "good" points.
"Now for those who are reading this because they wanna bang me. You too have great taste... if you like a cheap sangria that would be better served on chips than in a classy wine bar."
A line from my singles profile.
So no, I may not sell myself physically but I do share my best bit. My brain.
Also tho, my lumps, bumps and scars are merely part of what make me me and I AM beautiful, I'm beautifully me.
That may not make me attractive in the "wanna bang" stakes but I'd rather be known for my "me-ness" than my physical attractiveness.

I love this, attractiveness is far more than anyone's physical attributes. |

I hadn’t realised but when I wrote our profile I described how gorgeous Mr is, helpful as he can’t show his face due to work, but only point out my wobbly bits- but my face is all over the profile as I’m a camera whore, haha x

"I feel compelled to advertise my ear hair combover and nasal hair whip.
Always good to highlight your best points "
I left out my best point: I can use my low hanging bollocks to polish floors.
After all, I wanted to give the other fellas a chance.  |
