If you could flip a switch and randomise your appearance would you do it?

PlayfulLawyer · 2022-03-18T14:10:53+00:00

No thanks, I'm pretty happy with being me, and plus the randomness is a no no

ManGoneNoWay · 2022-03-18T14:02:10+00:00

Hell no. You ever see what comes out of pressing random in a character creator? Shit never looks good.

Besides, I might not like how I look but it's still... me. I'd rather be insecure me than be confident and hot someone else.

2022-03-18T14:22:45+00:00

I just know what a snoo looks like when random is hit. I’m better off now for sure.

CatoftheBanals · 2022-03-18T14:00:12+00:00

No. I’m pretty happy with myself. I’m also risk-averse. I have a 50% chance of looking better and 50% worse since I consider myself plumb average.

LittleDragonMaiden · 2022-03-18T14:42:10+00:00

No, I could end up uglier. I think I’m ok looking, which is pretty easy to be ok looking when most women around me are obese.

IveGotIssues9918 · 2022-03-18T15:29:17+00:00

Even though I'm insecure, no, because there's a strong chance that I would end up losing the features I do like. I can fix my teeth, but I couldn't fix being built like a tooth.

brojuststfu · 2022-03-18T14:04:07+00:00

No. I just need to lose 20-30 more lbs and I’d be pretty good looking. I’m already okay right now

CocoBabeNYC · 2022-03-18T13:56:36+00:00

Nope.

Swordfromthecement · 2022-03-18T14:01:10+00:00

The randomness of it is why i wouldn’t do it.

painfurouartacc · 2022-03-18T14:06:12+00:00

randomly is too risky, but id like to modify a few parts if i could

abcdeeeeeeff · 2022-03-18T14:26:56+00:00

No. I’m better than average. Could improve but odds are with a random selection, I don’t.

sarkington · 2022-03-18T14:36:48+00:00

No, my average body has been pretty low maintenance so far. Wouldn’t want to risk that.

errrright · 2022-03-18T16:51:22+00:00

Have you seen what Sims look like when they’re randomized? No thanks.

SultanZanzibar · 2022-03-18T17:16:20+00:00

How would this work?

Would it be a scale from 0-10 with 10% chance of landing any number in-between?

If that's the case, I probably would press it. The 20% chance of turning into a 9/10 or a 10/10 Chad would make up for the risk of turning into a 1/10 or 2/10 incel.

Any man below a 6 is pretty much an incel nowadays so might as well take the risk.

PMmeareasontolive · 2022-03-18T17:19:51+00:00

That's a funny question. I initially thought no, I'm average but could easily do worse.

Then I tried it. I have some old college yearbooks that I bought at thrift stores a while back and I opened at random and put my finger down without looking. I randomly picked better looking guys than me 2 out of 3 times, and that 3rd time might be debatable.

edit: repeated trials of this experiment reveal I should definitely roll the dice if ever given the chance.

the_jingster · 2022-03-18T17:58:09+00:00

You'd have to be significantly uglier than average to say yes to an average expected appearance and give up the identity you built based on what you currently look like

Urbantexasguy · 2022-03-18T19:07:17+00:00

I'm only 5'9", with an average, even slightly overweight "dad bod" build, but I have good facial bone structure (been called "handsome" many times) and decent hair and skin tone.

I wouldn't roll the dice again, for fear of losing what I have.

RandomAttackHelpMe · 2022-03-18T20:07:41+00:00

kittenated · 2022-03-18T20:52:31+00:00

Hell no. Never! I've learned from my valuable gaming time in character creators!

Randomization always results in utter chaos.

I have never used randomisation and it result in attractive appearance, lol, so no.

KrissKrossBoss12 · 2022-03-18T14:07:06+00:00

Yeah, probably. There’s a good chance I would be taller than I am now. 😃

TomorrowsWar · 2022-03-18T14:11:13+00:00

No, I love the way I look

JoanGreenCat · 2022-03-18T14:16:45+00:00

Nah, I'm happy the way I look.

SunshineHappyFaces · 2022-03-18T14:17:20+00:00

Depends, is there a worse hand than unsuited 2 and 4?

baresquad · 2022-03-18T14:21:25+00:00

Naw, I get everything I want out of dating perfectly fine

Hoopy223 · 2022-03-18T14:27:39+00:00

If it was like old school DnD where you got one roll and were stuck with it no, if it was new DnD where you can save your rolls yeah.

greedyleopard42 · 2022-03-18T14:35:29+00:00

HELL no

techr0nin · 2022-03-18T15:26:02+00:00

Hell no.

qtiphead97 · 2022-03-18T15:37:32+00:00

No, I’m addition to being happy with how I look, even if I randomized and got a better appearance, it would probably take me a while to get used to it and I would have to work from the ground up to get comfortable in my new body.

Beachbum74 · 2022-03-18T16:06:53+00:00

F’ no!

SmarmyPapsmears · 2022-03-18T16:14:27+00:00

No, I got dealt a pretty good hand

jonreynolds1999 · 2022-03-18T16:17:26+00:00

Too risky, but if it changed only my race I would (I'm mixed race and therefore very undesired by women)

Skycat9 · 2022-03-18T16:28:56+00:00

Maybe in 15 or 20 years.

RustDarwin · 2022-03-18T17:17:21+00:00

Nope i won the genlottery

Initial_Chemical7121 · 2022-03-18T18:41:25+00:00

Nah I like the way I look

ididntwanttoexist · 2022-03-18T19:31:52+00:00

No way. Insane gamble for only possible marginal improvement, and would most likely get worse. This only seems worth it if you were sub 3/10 ugly or deformed.

Film2021 · 2022-03-18T19:32:43+00:00

Absolutely not. I’m not model handsome but I know I’m slightly above average in height and face and hair. I wouldn’t risk it.

SuspiciousRule · 2022-03-18T19:35:56+00:00

tired_hillbilly · 2022-03-18T19:43:07+00:00

Is this neck-up-only, or whole package?

neck-up-only, no. My face is fine.

Whole package, absolutely. Muscular dystrophy fucking sucks ass.

midwesternMD · 2022-03-18T19:44:30+00:00

Nope. I’ve got plenty to complain about with respect to my appearance. I’m short. I’m a minority. I’m not ripped (or cut, for that matter) despite lifting. But I’m in decent shape otherwise.

If I could add several inches at some modest expense, I would. If I could change my ethnicity at some modest expense, I’d do that too. If I could be more muscular at modest expense, you guessed it, I’d do that. But to leave my collective looks to randomization? I wouldn’t roll the dice unless I were absolutely sure that I’m in the bottom 10-15th percentile of looks. Because at that point, the odds are favorable that I’d be better off.

Own-Boat-5374 · 2022-03-18T19:47:03+00:00

Rather randomize my genetics

NotGoingoutofMW · 2022-03-18T19:48:23+00:00

According to the recent grading i'm the definition of a 5. So no for this my life is going to good right now to risk it.

2022-03-18T20:18:42+00:00

No. I'm far from being a "Chad," but I'm fairly content with my appearance.

Jack_ofall_Trades85 · 2022-03-18T20:43:33+00:00

SabineLavine · 2022-03-18T21:13:24+00:00

Never.

DivineDaedra · 2022-03-18T21:41:53+00:00

Have you seen what happens when you do that in video games? No thank you.

If I could randomize some other genetics of mine though… maybe.

bison5595 · 2022-03-18T21:43:37+00:00

Need a six pack and then im crushing the game.

Ian_Campbell · 2022-03-18T22:19:57+00:00

bill0124 · 2022-03-18T22:30:18+00:00

Hell no

zepulkra · 2022-03-19T02:59:11+00:00

I think i do this somehow

Fit_Kiwi9703 · 2022-03-19T04:18:48+00:00

Though fun to do virtually, in reality, no.

It took Billions of years of evolution for the universe to create You, a variation of its manifestation. That's too special to just throw away.

gugabe · 2022-03-19T05:20:52+00:00

What's the terms of the switch?

Is it just facial aesthetics? Bodytype? Height? Race?

StarchRunner · 2022-03-19T06:11:29+00:00

Nah, I look great.

yupyupyuypypn · 2022-03-19T07:25:39+00:00

Fuck no

FabulousFuchsbau · 2022-03-19T15:45:26+00:00

Happy with my looks although if I could age spontaneously to keep people away from me I would

Valoxity-_- · 2022-03-19T18:12:05+00:00

Im 6'3 and a certain part of my malehood im actually very happy with(I got lucky allready) SO HELL NO.

KJ1017 · 2022-03-21T09:24:21+00:00

I’m 6’2 I’m not rolling dice.

Doctor can fix a fucked up nose, crooked teeth, or whatever else could be wrong facially. Doctor can’t fix 5’5.

throwaway316stunner · 2022-03-21T17:44:46+00:00

If I change up my arms/hands or legs, would that mean only changing how they look or would I be able to change how well they function?

If it’s the latter, please change them. Can’t be any worse than what I have now.

Suspicious-Vegan-BTW · 2022-03-22T14:22:02+00:00

No I'm still getting used to my changing face from puberty not ready for it to change even more

lolman453 · 2022-03-22T15:18:11+00:00

Nah, higher chance Id lose than win. Also I my looks makes me feel connected to my heritage and my home region
