EVERYONE has a vague idea of how attractive they are. But is there a chance you’ve wildly overestimated your hotness? Look out for these clues.
You’re still single
If you were attractive, chances are you’d have a partner. Most people have low standards and will settle for a less-than-perfect other half if it means they’re no longer alone. By this logic you must be a certified uggo, although you get to dodge tedious relationship drama and trips to the in-laws, so count your blessings, Quasimodo.
Nobody talks to you
It’s not just appearances that can be unattractive, your personality can be deeply repellent too. If people are giving you abrupt, one-word answers or blatantly ignoring you, maybe they can’t stand your hot takes on NFTs or jokes clearly recycled from social media. Rather unfairly, people are fascinated by the same dull shit if it’s coming from cuties, but them’s the breaks.
You don’t light up a room
The Richard Geres and Brigitte Bardots of the world cause gatherings to go quiet as everyone is bewitched by their physical beauty. When you walk into the room everyone’s more interested in stuffing their gobs before the buffet runs out. You are quite literally less attractive than an Iceland mini sausage roll.
Strangers stare at you but not with uncontrollable lust
Do you often find that people on the street do a double take and stare at you in horror? It’s not because there’s something weird and disgusting behind you. They’re actually looking at you and reacting in a way that feels natural to them. Do everyone a courtesy and wear a bag over your head.
You shatter reflective surfaces
Is it hard to find a mirror in your home without massive cracks running through it? Do puddles convulse in a frenzy of ripples when you try to look into them? If so, this could be science’s way of telling you that you’re a three out of ten at best. Be grateful – at least you don’t get to look at your ugly mug because your phone screen broke when you tried to take a selfie, again.
