People underestimate their own attractiveness and overrate others'. People are attracted to different things. You may think you're ugly for X but someone thinks you're attractive for Y. They might not care about X. Even apart from that, there are things people want in a partner that have nothing to do with looks.

You're probably not wrong, I just have a really hard time wrapping my head around it. Personally I could not stand living with a person I hate to look at. Not that they can help it, and maybe that makes me shallow. It's not like I even want to be that way, but my brain just doesn't want to allow it.

Are there people you find attractive that people disagree with you about?

[–] refalo 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes! Are you saying this is kindof the same thing?

Yeah, attraction is very subjective. When I look in the mirror it's difficult for me to not see my flaws, but my wife doesn't care about those aspects of my body. When I look at my wife I see parts I like, but when she looks in the mirror she sees things she views as flaws.
