I look pretty damn good and I'm not afraid to say it! I didn't feel this way as of a few years ago.
I'm a 24 year old, 6'2" dude with a slightly muscular build. I'm mostly black (I have some Native American and Irish ancestry mixed in), have a light-to-medium skin tone, light brown eyes, and a head full of nice hair. I have a mouth full of white teeth (some people say I have the whitest smile they've seen and ask for my dental care tips) and prominent dimples when I smile. If we're using the "x/10" scale, I'd say I'm an 8. My biggest fault is that I'm skinny-fat: I look good for my height in clothes, but I have large sizable fat deposits in my stomach, sides, and thighs, despite the fact that I'm very active and (try to) eat as healthy as possible.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not afraid to say that I'm attractive, as I didn't always feel this way. I've been overweight and/or obese for the vast majority of my life. In 2016, during my sophomore/junior year of college, I hit 300 pounds for the first time. At that point, I realized that I either needed to make a lifestyle change or pass away early. Over the span of 18 months, I ended up losing 104 pounds, bringing me down to 196. Admittedly, I gained 73 pounds back between August 2017 and February 2019, mainly attributed to the stress of my senior year of college. As of February, however, I've lost a maximum of 42 pounds before suffering a bad ankle injury in August. Now that I'm fully recovered, I can't wait to fall below 200 pounds again in 2020!
Good for you working hard to lose that weight.
And you do sound hot actually! (but could be my son- LOL)

Finally someone who thinks he is good looking and doesn't just claim to be a former hottie. I find mixed races are the most beautiful people.
Now work off that chub my friend!!! Skinny fat is not pretty!
Yeah, look at the photos Nick Nolte when he was in his early 30's and look at him now! I doubt very many people would EVER guess that he used to be a hunk. However, as far as men aging worse than women, I think that just depends on the individual. Look at Kathleen Turner for a female version of this, going from "hottie" to blowsy and drab.
I truly do think that keeping fit one one's weight down has a lot to do with physical attractiveness up to a point.
In Kathleen Turner's defense, she's been dealing with RA for years now. I assume she's on steroids. Steroids WILL change your appearance. You get a moon face, your skin gets bad, hair grows in funny places...
My sister in law had a kidney transplant when she was 19 yrs old. She's been on anti-rejection meds forever practically.
I agree about mixed race people. I've heard some complain politically that one day Americans (or all people?) will all be mixed race, and I'm like "but is that a bad thing?"
One of the most strikingly attractive people I know, is a blend of black, white, Puerto Rican, Native American, and something else I can't even recall. The one thing he isn't, is one thing people assume: Mexican. I guess because he has light brown toned skin and black hair (when he doesn't dye it various colors.) But what makes me weak in the knees, he's got stunning green eyes, and a wicked gorgeous smile. He's also one of the most intelligent people I know. He's studying biochemistry right now, and he speaks at least a dozen languages. He learns them for fun. Also he spins fire.
So yeah. That genetic diversity has produced one hell of an impressive human being, in my estimation.

I think it'll be a good thing. When everyone has brown little babies, and brown little grandchildren, people are going to get along a lot better.
