How cofortable are you with your looks and body image?

This would be on yack fest but I dislike that board.

The title says it all. YES I KNOW I MADE A TYPO!

For me, I am a bit worried about my weight, as I didn't have football to play this year so I'm not as fit as I was last year. I like my height 5'11 (tall for Grade 10) and I'm strong. I'm confident with y looks, and I like to think I'm handsome. I'm having problems with acne, and I've got unusual amounts of body hair. Sorry!

What about you?

I'm twelve feet tall with eight hundred pounds of pure muscle which i oil up every morning and look at in the mirror. Then I walk down to the beach with a ho in each arm and then get more just by standing there and posing.

^Well played.

I'll be making some improvements, but for now it's passable.

I'm okay but improoving, I try to go to the gym for 2 hours every other day and have already seen a marked improvement in my upper arm and back strength, so in genral I am pretty happy.

I could use a bit less balding, though there's not really a cure for that. Other then that, I guess I could be a bit thinner or less chest-hairy, but I kinda like the way I look.

I was compared to the young Orson Wells, once, though that was by my psychologist so I don't know how credible this comparison is :P

I'd like to think I'm fairly handsome.

I need to build up some muscle in my arms- I've got nerve damage in one hand and carpal tunnel in the other so weights aren't really and option.

However, I've got a nice face (high cheekbones = win) and I'm quite 'broad', and ice blue eyes and long hair don't hurt.

Overall I'd say I like the way I look. There can always be improvements, but they aren't drastically neccessary.

Not confident in my looks and body image, but comfortable. I know I am not ugly.

I think I have a bit too much fat around the muscle. I'm fairly lean, but it's still bit annoying, especially if I'm sitting down shirtless. And my arms are too thin.

Also, there's a dent on my left side ribcage. Birth defect.

I'd be happier with less of a gut I'll admit.

Not terribly satisfied.

I don't think my body image is attractive, but I'm fairly comfortable with it. Maybe not satisfied, but comfortable.

Used to satisfied, but change in circumstance/stress has lead to weight gain.

Less satisfied now, aiming to reverse the process.

I don't seem to have a "body image" per se—when I think of myself, I think of the avatar I use here. When I look in the mirror, I consider what I see to be ugly, but I don't pay much attention to mirrors, and I don't really care enough to try and make myself look better or more stylish. I am unhappy with my body, though, because I'm clinically underweight due to illness.

It never really occurred to me that there was anything about which to be comfortable or uncomfortable. The only concerns I ever have about my body concern its ability to function, not its appearance.

I tend to gravitate between "reasonably comfortable with my physical appearance" and "don't give a flying fuck," depending whether or not I'm in the presence of other people and who those people are. Generally, I figure that my numerous neuroses and social defects are infinitely more likely to fuck up other people's impression of me than my appearance (which apparently has a certain amount of nerd-cute appeal), so I don't generally invest any time stressing over it.

Mostly OK. I'm tall, slender and some people have called me cute, which gives me some confidence in that regard.

On the other hand, I don't work out or anything, hence I'm kinda wimpy. But I don't care enough to do anything about that.

Not very. I think my face is alright, but I'm too fat, and no, it's not an "lol, you think that way because of the media!111one" bullshiat. I'm damn sure I'd look a shitton better if I dropped even ten pounds. I lack the willpower to ration my food, though.

I'm a wiry little dude, I have good definition but my arms aren't very big. I try to go for high reps and average weight.

Overall I guess I'm happy with it, I'm a bit self conscious about some marks I have, though they are all under clothes.

Not very. I try not to think about it.

Fairly comfortable, I guess... I could stand to lose a little weight, but I'm not really fat. I honestly have no idea how "attractive" I am, because I'm not a very good judge of that sort of thing myself and I can hardly go around asking people.

It used to bug me a lot in high school, but it doesn't any more becuase I realised that no one cares.

I should really be musclier, but that's more a practicality than appearance thing. I am too physically weak for my chosen profession (vet).

I don't have any issues with my appearance, but I'm very, very insecure about my mannerisms, voice and general movements. I'm practically an honorary member of the Ministry of Silly Walks, and my voice sounds like a three-year-old putting on a very bad accent.

I could stand to gain some more muscle, I guess. Or really, any sort of weight. 54 kilos isn't healthy for a 180cm tall college student. And everyone knows that unhealthy looks=unattractive looks.

Still not ugly pre sé, and I might be able to attract someone if I put my mind to it. Unfortunately, my mind is always preoccupied with games, role playing and manga.

I have my body, though more for lack of function than looks, but I'm losing weight so I'm more or less pleased at the moment.

I'm a sexy bastard if I may say so myself.

And I can do a mile in 8min 25sec, so I'm happy with that too.

Just one mile?
