Are you happy with the way you look?

I just turned 54 a week ago, still no gray hair and in great shape. My wife is 45 and people assume we are the same age. Just because you are in your 40’s and 50’s doesn’t mean you have to look and act old.

I really don’t compare myself to anyone but Brad Pitt and I am quite OK that he is just a tiny bit cuter than me.

I am much happier with the way I look compared to 18 months ago, having lost a considerable amount of weight and getting in shape. I think I look better at 58 than I did at 48.

I do wish I wasn’t quite so gray.

I’d rate myself a 7.5.

Not really, my eyesight is pretty damned terrible.

I am pretty happy with the way I look. I exercise regularly, and I am in pretty good shape.
My weight is good for my height (6’5”, 200 lbs) If the subject ever comes up, people are generally complimentary. I suppose that means something positive. I really would not be comfortable scoring myself. But I am not self-conscious about my appearance.

About comparing oneself…

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself -Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

Of course

I don’t put much thought into it. I look like, what I look like. Nothing I can really do about it.

I do have light blue eyes. I’d say they were my best feature.

@josie Nice quote. One we would all benefit from remembering.

It totally depends on the day. I’d rate myself, on an average day, as a 6.5 or 7. Some days I feel like a 4 and some days I feel like an 8, and anywhere in between.

I’ve always been pretty self conscious, but I find that my confidence in my body has gone up considerably since I started lifting heavy. My body is changing in the most awesome way (in a way cardio never could). I still don’t feel hot in a bikini, but the fact that I’m wearing a bikini at all is a huge step up for me. I’ll probably never be 100% satisfied with how I look, but I certainly don’t worry about it or let it affect my life in any major way. I know that I’m way more critical of myself than anyone else.

I do have a bad habit of comparing myself to others. I feel way more uncomfortable at the pool in my bikini if there are a bunch of hot girls walking around that are more tan and fit than I am, but that’s why I’m doing something about it. No need to sit around sulking that I’ll never be that hot – maybe I won’t, but I’m damn sure going to try.

Eh I generally like putting some effort into my appearance. THat is my care for me time. I always feel the better off for it. And more confident if I run into people I know or end up in a situation I am not completely comfortable with. On the other hand I usually don’t wear make up… or much jewelry. I like to keep things over all quite simple. As to comparing… well maybe to a certain extent but I think we all are individuals and have too many different traits that make up the whole to say… hey that person looks way better then me. Besides if I go around thinking that then I probably will automatically not like them as much being jealous. Since there are many beautiful people that are very nice I consider that an unfortunate start. So it is better to see the beauty in all things. while recognizing that flaws do exist. Styles reflect personality…

I’m happy with me, period.

One’s physical appearance does matter and there’s absolutely no doubt about it. It makes the first impression. The first thing you do in the morning is to look at yourself in the mirror. And that’s when you decide if your happy with your looks or not.
I m quiet happy with the way I put up. I feel that everyone is different in their own way, be it their size, shape, colour or anything else. If you’re happy with the way you are, you definately don’t have to worry about what anybody else thinks. Just grow as a person and you will turn out great.

For being 41, yes I am. I look half my age, and I have nice tone and build for my height. I have a few grey hairs though, but I guess that isn’t too bad considering other things. My 40th birthday depressed me much more than my 30th, though most people I had talked to felt the other way around. I try to make the most of it I guess.
