This is not a question for models alone, but everyone. It is a question about you deduction of beauty hence it is here.
I never used to be. I always hated how I looked mainly because I was constantly being teased. Growing up I always had glasses half the size of my face, pale complexion, freckles. While I still don't look at myself and can honestly think "Wow, I'm hot," I can look at myself and be content.
It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that God created me how He wanted me. Whether or not that's beautiful to the world, that's how God wanted me, and to me, that's beautiful.
I have learned to accept the way I look. My wife always tells me that I am dark and tall and that those are two attributes a lot of guys wish they had, so that makes me feel better. I've always wished I had better looks like some of my cousins, but now that I am married with a family, I really dont care about personal beauty. So long as my wife still loves me and I can be a good father to my children, then I feel good about myself.

JB, I said I was content with my appearance. I never said anything about the rest of the world.
Another thing, I think you can always find something attractive about a person. Whether it be eyes, smile, etc. If you want to see somebody as "bad looking" or whatever, it's not hard to do. Everybody has flaws, and I think that all the computer work that is done on a lot of models makes everybody forget that.
I used to hate my looks with a passion. Now, even though there is much I want to change, I can see that I am pretty in a way. I like my eyes- they are kind of green and brown; greener at sometimes and browner at others. I also like my face. I have pretty good skin. My hair is ok, but between the endocrine disorder and the birth of my last child, I lost a lot of hair. So much so that I wore a wig for a year and a half. Even then, I think because of the wig, I liked how I looked. As for my body, I am really tall, about 5'11', and it helps to distribute my weight better. My husband says that I am beautiful and that makes me feel good. My self confidence comes in knowing who I am, not in outer beauty. Besides, you know what they say. "We are all beautiful in God's eyes". I never want to feel ugly again, because it also affected me inside.
