Roger said

Well I suppose one translation of this could be

soy vanidoso, jejeje.

Seriously though, you can use "apuesto"

Very funny and apt. - 0057ed01, Dec 17, 2009

Answer 2

u can always say " estas hermoso " or " estas guapo " but actually " hermoso " is better

Gracias. But why is "hermoso" better, Rania? (Also, should estas be written as estás? And "u" as "you?") - 0057ed01, Dec 17, 2009

Answer 3

You can say "soy guapo" but that can sounds pretentious. That sounds like...

Hello, my name is Peter, I am very handsome....

I do not know what you the English speakers think about that but in Spanish. I would not know how to say that.

Only if someone asks for my physical appearance, I would dare to say that. But, yes, the expression is "soy guapo,,, and then, you can add: mido 1,80.... tengo los ojos azules.... bla, bla, bla".

Hehe, I quite agree. - webdunce, Dec 17, 2009

Answer 4

Hi Roger. Welcome to the forum.

You could say "soy guapo" (I'm handsome) or you could say "soy atractivo."

Answer 5

Well, handsome in Spanish is "guapo/a."

Answer 6

Sometimes, I also hear "hermoso" around here.

But I wonder if there might be some nuance of meaning between "guapo" and "hermoso."

Anyone know?

Also, I'm wondering if "Soy atractivo" is a bit more boastful than "Soy guapo."

Both seem boastful to me, by the way...

Answer 7

Good looking = atractivivo, guapo

In Spanish, it sounds better "guapo" if you are talking about yourself.

I agree. It's the same in English. You'd only mention that you are attractive, handsome, pretty if someone asked for a physical description.

Answer 9

Another question arises: To me, using "atractivo" implies "sexy."

Is this so?
