don't ever self-deprecate about your looks, unless it's something obvious and objective (being scrawny, being pale, etc).
read what i said again...
self depreciating HUMOUR.
even David DeAngelo wrote about the power of self depreciating humour, or as he put it "cocky and funny about yourself"
go ask girls and they'll also agree - a guy who is comfortable mocking himself every now and then in front of girls is sexy. why? because only a truely confident guy will do that without coming off as insecure or seeking compliments. also, it can be used as a disqualifier of sorts, showing that you're not concerned about impressing her.
hb:"you're handsome/cute/sexy/anything to that effect"
PUA:"you should see me in the morning. i look like godzilla

"
see the disqualifier?
