@pixelation

Don't take it to heart. You'll only get rated if the hive mind decides so. Its nothing to do with your pictures. I posted perfectly fine pictures in this thread earlier on but they got looked past. Hurt my self esteem for a minute but then I realized its just the hive mind at work. You could be the most attractive person in the world, but if the average looking guy next to you gets attention first, that's where the attention is going to be drawn to.

Trust me you're better looking than most.

- You have good skin
- You're not fat
- You're not sporting stupid facial hair to cover your double chin

[KDash31987]

I posted some pics early in the thread, and then recently a joke one of me in a Wii remote costume, but here's some more real ones.


They're a bit old now, though. I posted much more recent pics before...but besides the length of my hair (and whether I have facial hair or not), I've looked pretty much the same for 10+ years.

I'm a 28 year old Puerto Rican, by the way. No one believes I'm Puerto Rican, though, and I get weird reactions when I speak Spanish. I also speak both English and Spanish without an accent, so no one can ever tell where the heck I'm from. Haha.

 

[marrec]

All these people with amazing hair (-.- )

Aside from that I think I'm a pretty cute guy, about a 6/10 on the harsh scale. I've been doing lifting, clothes shopping, and working on hair ideas to improve my general aesthetic.

You do have bad symmetry that I think your hairstyle accentuates but lucky for you nothing is "ugly" just a bit out of place. You have big bright eyes and full lips and a straight nose. Shave tho:

5/10

Well, I made a lot of changes to better myself at the beginning of the year, so here goes!

You'd be a lot more attractive with a smile I think, hard to tell. Eyes, nose, and mouth are well proportioned but not unique. Chin is a bit rounder which is slightly negative but nothing crazy, generally good looking, not ugly:

4/10

Can somebody rate me please:

That hair <3 <3 <3

Glasses look good, lips TOO big if that's even possible, otherwise good. Jawline needs more definition so a beard would be good for you. Seriously though that hair:

I feel like I can't objectively rate you because I like you as a poster (not that I don't like the others I've rated, I just don't particularly remember them) but here goes

Hip to waist to bust ratio is very attractive. Legs look full and well defined (unsure given pictures) Your eyes are penetrating, not dull. And uh, the second picture accentuates your bust well... *adjusts fake glasses, cough*

However, your chin is very narrow and isn't well matched with your lips (which are attractive) and forehead. That may be because of extra hard to get rid of fat deposits in the face, but it's hard to say because your face is good looking but for the very narrow chin:

8/10

Lets bring it back to lighter stuff.

I need someone to add an explosion to the back. Daughter and I

EVERYONE HAS BETTER HAIR THAN ME.

You look attractive, but not overly and well defined and proportioned. 6/10

Good looking guy. I'd agree with your rating but with your potential, and what you're doing to improve it can definitely be higher.

I really don't take/have many pictures of myself but this is the most recent. Obviously not the best photo taking conditions.

If those aren't the best photo taking conditions then you might should take a selfie. Based on the photo though I'd rate you highly regardless:

7/10

Thank you. I like you as a poster too!

I have a legit baby face haha. It's actually slimmed down a lot with the weight I've lost, but it's always going to be baby face. I still get IDed (I'm almost 28, and the age for alcohol here is 19 lol).

Looking younger is a good thing. Ironically when you're young you want to look older and when people get older they desperately try to look younger lol.

I'm gonna assume you don't smoke or anything?

If "pretty boss" means storing photos from posts that werent quoted or rated and then removed. Sure he's pretty boss.

In real life we might call that a freak and a very weird dude.

Hard to judge a side shot but...

Your face slopes down from the nose making the side view more unattractive than the front view, nice hair and beard though! 5/10

Edit: You're kind of making a Nate Drake face lol

You certainly don't look all of 28. I do think that you'll have that face shape no matter how much weight you lose but it's not a major fault or anything, just an obvious thing when compared to your other good features.

Mind, I'm being needlessly harsh because I feel truthful ratings are better at this point than a deluge of 7/10s.

I'm sorry I encroached your privacy. There was a point when I had wanted to make a mega post in this thread rating absolutely everyone in it, but then after finishing the first draft I decided against submitting. I still have the post saved, and decided it would be easier to check for a link in there than go back through the entire thread to try to find your picture. It didn't occur to me that you may have removed your picture when it seemed like you were still interested in being rated.

That said, you should know that there are probably over a dozen different people saving all these pictures, current GAF members and not. For malicious purposes or just because they like to have a face to go along with a name, and so will call it up to remember. Posting your picture on the internet is giving consent for other people to use it.

Thanks dude, and I really do recognize that potential. I'm doing everything I can to live up to it. I used to really struggle with my appearance. Acne, overweight, bad posture, bad hair... I was a mess. I've really turned it around in the last few months and it's made me a much happier person.

You're a great looking guy yourself, I can't even think of any complaints.

You do have bad symmetry that I think your hairstyle accentuates but lucky for you nothing is "ugly" just a bit out of place. You have big bright eyes and full lips and a straight nose. Shave tho:

Haha, I new that shave comments was coming. My facial hair is garbage tier and I was just too lazy to take care of it before taking the picture.

I'm also really curious to see what my ex would be rated here, but of course I'm sure she wouldn't approve of being judged so that isn't happening.

You have really great hair, clean eyebrows and a nice smile. The lack of symmetry basically screams for attention, but it veers more towards interesting than ugly for me (compare to, for example, Natalie Dormer's crooked smile). Depending on how that affects people, I think you're in the 4–7 range. Shave your facial hair.

That's.......dedicated.

I'll bite, where did I land on the Lilith (the pale) scale?

It was back closer to the start of the thread when I was planning that, but yeah.

I'm not a fan of the leathery skin (ergo my username), but I have a personal bias involved (my skin is very sensitive and doesn't tan, so I'm hypersensitive to the health issues at play). Your head is relatively symmetrical from the eyebrows down, but your forehead up looks like it got shifted over some from the rest of your head. I'm going with 6.

Your right arm looks significantly bigger than your left arm. Maybe it's the angle of the picture, but it looks a bit ummm... weird once you pay attention to it.

But you look good. A solid 8/10 or a 9ish/10

 

[OCD Guy]

I wasnt aware people were saving the pictures and this is kind of shocking to me and has definitely soured my opinion of the members here.. I shall proceed cautiously in future.

A couple of weeks ago I came across a forum that had pictures of neogaf members simply to ridicule them.

Once something is on the Internet that's it. It's not like you need to be registered on these forums to view the threads. Anyone could be reading and viewing, and it's not difficult to save images or take screen shots.

Same with dating sites, I've come across someone that used pictures of me on plenty of fish to set up a fake profile from when I was on there a while back.

I'd imagine it's reasons like the above why Vadrigar is concerned about his confidentiality.

I don't give a shit though, it's like people who might post pictures of their car on a car forum but blank the registration plate. Other people won't care.

No need to worry about the members here on GAF, there are people who scour GAF threads and posts for any picture that matches a name to a person so that they have something more concrete to hate. You're posting on the internet on one of the most visible video game forums. GAF has also made numerous enemies throughout the years.

Remember that before you post personal information, but also remember that these bitter and old people are ghosts of a previous era who cannot hurt you in any appreciable way besides talking shit about you on a tiny message board full of sock-puppets and racists.

I wouldn't worry much about posting pictures. It doesn't bother me. You just simply should be aware that posting on a popular public site that non-members browse means there is a good chance your images will leave the site. Members here are moderated so it's not as bad as some sites. The more sinister and awkward folk are likely browsing GAF as non-members.

Absolutely. I'm a big ole bear and I like big bears who look like they can wrestle with me. Plus, bellies are awesome to rub.

His specific look where he's bigger - I know many a guys who would have been up on that. But that's how the bear community is - they like 'em big and hairy. If you're really curious to see what I mean, google "bear run" or "Bear soup" and check out the pics. Almost all the guys there are bigger, bearded, mostly hairy dudes who all want to schtoff each other. The average guy there probably weighs about 1.5 of you!

And after the pic above, he'd be labeled a pretty bear. Because he is

They've tried multiple times to "troll" my podcast to no avail.

See I don't think Vadrigar is harsh, he posts a number and that's it.

For me personally Vadrigar giving someone a 4 out of 10 and leaving it at that is better than someone giving a 6 out of 10 to that same person but then analysing that person and describing their facial features.

Like there was one guy quite a few pages back who posted their pic and he got obliterated with an indepth analysis on his looks. That's harsher than Vadrigar simply posting "3/10"

But everyone's different, some people seem to like the analysis lol.

I actually like vadrigar's scale. 4's and 5's are within the bell curve where 3/4ths of us fall under. A 6 is in the top 20%. The gap between a 3 and a 4 is the widest of all thresholds. I don't think he has dished many 3's and below but he has given numerous 4's

[OCD Guy]

Oh no that's me...

No it's not you. You give constructive criticism.

There's a difference between saying something like yeah you look OK, maybe just do something with your hair, or your jacket isn't flattering, to someone saying your eyes are too far apart, your hair line is receding by 10mm etc.

I just think some people aren't tactful with their replies. But it's a public forum so it's fair game.

I personally just don't say anything when I see something I think is negative as I'm not one to try and tear people apart behind a keyboard, we've clearly seen some people on here are really insecure and I'm not interested in potentially annoying/upsetting them.

I guess I take the "if you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all" approach online....
