You'll probably think this story is about you. Plastic surgery, botox, and makeup are just some of the ways we maintain our vanity, but how good looking do you think you are? LivingSocial conducted a survey and found some interesting stats about us.
Here are the highlights:
-
Americans think they are well above average in looks.
-
1 in 3 give themselves an 8, 9, 10.
-
56% say they deserve at least a 7.
But we're quick to judge others and don't give the people around us such high points on the looks scale.
-
50% say people in their city are overweight.
-
46% think the women in their city are beautiful.
-
36% say the men are handsome.
