Why Do People Like It When Attractive People Don't Know They're Attractive? doesn't it mean that these attractive people have low confidence?

lols i don't get why people always say that they like attractive people who don't know they're attractive. I thought people like others who have confidence. If the attractive people don't know that they're attractive, doesn't it mean that they have low confidence? It's either that they have low self-confidence, or that they have huge expectations of what is defined as "good looking". Like, for example everyone thinks that Song Hye Gyo is really pretty. If she thinks she's not, then it means she has really high standards/expectations...if she doesn't think she's good looking, then she must be thinking that 90% of the other people aren't good looking, since i do believe she's better looking than probably 90% of the girls out there tongue.gif .

Soo what I think IS good is when attractive people know that they're good looking, but they just don't flaunt their hotness or brag about how good looking they are...like, they're just modest. I just don't see what's so good about attractive people not knowing that they're attractive. In fact, it is actually is a bit of a turn-off for me. Anyone agree?

I'm sorry, but sometimes I find certain types of these people annoying. I'm not saying all of these people are annoying, but my friend has been realy getting on my nerves lately and she's this type of person. She thinks that she is just average and that she doesn't look all that great. But yet, she has all these guys chasing after her.

...now why would she want to think this way?

She's alway concerned with how she looks and she always complains about how she hates her hair, her skin, her makeup, blah, blah, blah. If you reall think that you look bad, you would NOT alwys be talking about it.

She's kind of acting like Bella from Twilight.

Am I just ranting, or is anyone catching on to what I'm saying? lol.

I think most attractive people know they look good, because chances are they are told this a lot. That being said, I'm pretty sure they have some confidence at least so they wouldn't say something like, "Oh I hate the way I look, I'm so ugly!" Sure, everyone complains about their appearance sometimes because how many people are actually 100% satisfied with how they look all the time? So all in all, I think it's good to be confident in yourself but not too much that it makes you conceited. Also, I don't like it when you know that someone knows they look good but they put up an act like they're oblivious to the fact of why guys always try to talk to them and stuff.

hmmm. i dont think i ever met a person that liked people who are attractive, but dont think they are >>
i think all of them know they are attractive, its just that they dont want to be conceited
or theyve experienced something that made them think they arent attractive. :0 perhaps past rejections? biggrin.gif


but, naaah. i dont find it a turn off.
biggrin.gif i actually dont care if they dont think they arent attractive.
no. no, you.

lol well....you're always your worst critique, so it could just be a small thing that bothers them.


plus, if they were attractive AND they knew it and they acted like they knew....that would be a tiny bit annoying.

I think they mean that they like people who dont brag about being good looking, or act like they can get whatever they want because they're good looking.



It's annoying when people act cocky because they think they're so hot, but it's as equally annoying when they put them selves down to get compliments. Gosh, just don't think about those stuff. Haha

there's a difference between not knowing you're attractive, and not having confidence.
some people REALLY don't know.
& when you dont have confidence it'd be more like (genuinely thinking) "i'm not pretty.. =(" when everyone else thinks otherwise.

of course I'd assume that pretty people know they're not ugly esp. if people are always complimenting them.
but there are just some pretty people who aren't aware at the extent of how attractive they are. (you know how you see yourself, and you get a "hint" and understanding of how other people see you but since you are NOT them you don't really know at what extent how pretty you are. know what im saying? makes sense? yes no?)

my best friend like that. she is seriously one of the most attractive girls I know. she dresses really casual, doesn't do the makeup thing or any of that sort unless it's for very rare occassions. She's SOOOOO pretty. guys would go WOW. the thing is - she doesn't even know it. Some KNOW they're pretty but they're modest about it. My friend - she's just completely oblivious. (I've known her for almost 2 decades now so I'm sure she's not putting up a front)

but this doesn't mean that they have low confidence if they don't know they're attractive.

Funny thing is no guy has ever directly approached her, or hit on her even though I always hear guys' comment about her.
I think it's because they're intimidated? I don't know.

I don't.

like i've said before
it gets on my nerves when a chick doesn't think she's beautiful. _ hence, an insanely low self-esteem.

what annoys me even more is when a chick KNOWS she's attractive, and THINKS she's any better than anyone else.
ya know, 'acting superior'.


I don't mind girls who know they're not hideous. lol. haven't used that word in ages.

_
for some reason, i find it hideously disturbing when a girl in my year [...not the least bit attractive. and that's coming from me] thinks she's the sexiest thing on earth.
AND flaunts it....

and people wonder why i'm traumatised at the sexuality of females. -sighs-

I think they know it, but how can they agree? That'd just seem snobbish.

"I'm so gosh darn attractice, aren't you jealous?" sleep.gif That would annoy me.

I like people who are humble about it, but it gets really annoying when a pretty,slim person calls herself fat and ugly all the time when they probably know their attractive. Especially people who say it all the time.
but i guess i'm being hyprocritical (if i spelled that right??) since sometimes i complain about my weight too sometimes but
i don't really get compliments about my looks or the way i look.

if it's genuine...it shows a humble nature and a disregard for superficiality.


sadly many attractive people know they're attractive and pretend to think they aren't to get people to say it more or to like them. they usually take it to extremes. instead of replying with "0__0i am??" they go "no. im not....really? nah? no no no...im average. *giggle* "

THOSE are the ones who piss me off and THOSE are the ones with low confidence. as attractive as they know they are...they still seek validation no matter how shallow it is.

all "good-looking people" know their good-looking. those liars.
besides.. if you have a decent body shape and act good-looking chances are that people will think your goodlooking.
(as long as you have nice hair).

if someone doesn't know they are actually very attractive, they must be very humble and naive people; people that are not so self-consious...
these people are cool...

but then for those who knows they're attractive and don't admit it.. they might be shy so don't hate them for not admitting it k...

I think most of the time goodlooking ppl know they are attractive from the reactions and feelings they get from ppl..its jus some are really humble and they dun need to brag about it or hear compliments about it cause their confident and secure enough already that they dun need approval from other ppl.. I also think most of the time attractive ppl attract ppl with the same level as them in terms of beauty...

i think they could have low confidence
like their self perception is diff to real perception (i think everyone has it in some sort of degree)

n some girls Are like that for the attention... fishin for compliments

or some are genuine ? maybe modest?

Wow, this is new to me. I've never heard of this. I know people like attractive people but not this type.
For me, I get really annoyed at those who already know that they are good looking go "oh I'm so fat" "oh I'm so ugly". It gives me a feeling that they just want people to reassure them that they're attractive.

maybe being humble comes naturally lol
BUT if some ppl make it known that they KNOW they look good, even if they're not trying to be conceited, they just KNOW it already since it's so freakin obvious if they have 93845345 ppl after them..some ppl will call them conceited. it happened to me before. so it's just safe to be humble.

I notice that "ugly" people don't care about how they look, but "pretty" people care a lot.

Shouldn't it be the opposite... ?
