My face is something like those portrayed as giants or brutes in movies. Not ugly but not glamorous.
That being said had I been born when natural size and strength were the important traits being I'm over two meters tall.. well dating would have been much simpler. Kind of sucks. Babies cry after looking at me a few seconds, I'm just naturally intimidating

A self-image? Don't have one of those. But I do have a functional pair of testicles. Do those count?
I've been told on a number of occasions that I have long and pretty eyelashes, but I'm a guy so... Sort of?
I hear I am a bit handsome-ish.
but i definitely fall more in a 1950s-60s opinion of an aesthetically pleasing male like Errol Flynn or Clark Gable (I've started dressing to accentuate since it was pointed out to me)
tall thin and toned with dark hair a prominent nose and a defined jaw, and no matter what i wear or how i wear i have that "so you slept in those clothes" sort of look (seriously what the fuck iron?).
i kinda like it, except thee days i wish i was Robert Plant, he is a paragon of manhood.

Not really no. I am skinny and incredibly pale. I hate my hair too, if I let it grow to a decent length (like it is now) it gets these weird little curls and flicks (e.g. my sideburns) which I can't stand!
If I got a haircut (which I will after my exams are done) and started exercising again I'd probably feel better about my image.

I'm a huge burly viking dude, that's cool.
Otherwise I look pretty good, except that I'm a whole lot balder than I'd prefer....
Still, I've elected to go with the "Fuck it, it is what it is, and I can't change it. Accept it and move on." method.
Given the obscene rate of scientific advancements that have been snowballing in the last year and a half, it's possible that that may actually be entirely and easily fixable very soon too, so double whatevs.
Paradoxically, I've derived ridiculous confidence from that.
Once you accept your most obvious flaw and stop letting it bug you, you suddenly become far less bothered by everything else.
That confidence works miracles.

Sort of. I'm feeling a bit too scrawny right now. Money has been tight so I'm eating like a normal person, so I can't keep any weight on.
I voted 'sort of' because I'm rugged... which means I have facial scars older than most people answering this poll.
"Sort of"
I'm pretty much OK of how I look on an everyday basis. There's only this only little thing that doesn't let me be Narcissus himself and kiss myself in the mirror.
I hate my facial hair. It gives me a dirty look. Shaving doesn't really help cause that only lasts for one day and you can already see the 'shadow' of it growing on the next morning...

I can say: I like myself! My nose is a huge boulder and my eyebrows could eat me if I don't keep them tamed, I have rings of tiredness underneath my eyes and I look really dumb whenever I grin hard enough to show teeth. But all in all, I look good, somewhere between "a bit handsome" and "a bit cute". I've come to terms with the fact that I don't look particularly masculine, especially since I have the waist-curve of a female supermodel.
Perhaps if someone said to my face that I look attractive (other than my parents) I would believe it, but I have massive self-conscious issues, so I went with not really. Unlike a lot of people who have posted here, I think I need to gain some weight, and have been told by a few people at work to eat more. I've been going to a gym regularly for about 3 months now but I don't think anything has really changed yet.
I have some okay aspects but I'm not satisfied with my nose and neck slope. Almost a damned iguana.
