I'm pretty meh about how I look nowadays. I'm more of an intellectual than a physical type, and put great effort into developing my knowledge, character and conscience. I think I'm getting more and more disassociated from my body really. I am the ME in my head-the thing I see in the mirror is the vehicle I'm forced to ride around in. It has it's plus points and minus points, as all vehicles do, but it doesn't define me any more than my car does.

That said, that's all just because I'm pretty self secure these days. Back in the day, it wasn't so, and I would study my mirror image for imperfections and found them aplenty. These days, looking in the mirror, I mostly judge objectively how I look so I can transpose that image onto other people in my dealings with them. It helps to know if I'm smart, scruffy, cool, geeky, sexy, scruffy, whatever.
Though these days, I've taken to wearing some mildly outlandish stuff, just because I like it and fuck the world. Most of this winter I've been walking around in a full length leather coat and leather cowboy hat. And I'm in the UK-people don't really know what to make of me here.
Kids seem to love me, though, which is a laugh.

As to looking at myself in the mirror naked, I tend to do it logically and objectively. I think I'm pretty lucky. I'm by no means anything special at all, and I don't see myself as really that attractive at all. But I tick some of the guy boxes-I'm tall (6'3), I'm fairly broad and muscular and my face is alright. I don't look overweight, but I am, especially if you go by BMI. Luckily, because of my frame, it hides very well, and when I'm dressed, I look very fit. I have a bit of a beer gut and love handles, but not noticeable in clothes. I also have a smallish pair of moobs, but again, I get away with it.

Like I said, I'm fairly impassionate about myself in the mirror. I am what I am. And as far as I'm concerned, what I am is really who I am.
And to hell with everyone who thinks differently, frankly, their opinion is uninformed and less important.

I think that I am very attractive but I dont think anyone else sees that.
