Are you happy with the way you look?

Just curious really, to see what everyone's view of themselves is. Are you happy with the way that you look? Are there aspects of your appearance that you would change if you could? Are you currently doing anything to make those changes?

All the best.

David.
 
Are you happy with the way you look, lol? I guess I have never thought about it, but I would say I am.
 
God no. I hate how I look. I am WAY WAY WAY too fat! This isn't me! My metabolism is betraying me. Even when I was riding my bike 200 miles a week, I couldn't get skinny again. And I have old person skin. It's all dry and fragile. And my hair is gray. And I need reading glasses. That about covers it!
 
I'm fairly happy with the way I look. I can turn a head or two when I get dressed up and go to the bar... Sure wish I was taller though. Can't do much about that ;)
 
I have no choice but to be happy with the way I look.. Its all I have, can't change it so gotta accept it.. I am trying to get back into shape though.. You know what I do hate though, I hate my tan.. Yep hate it.. My arms are soooo much darker than the rest of me.. If my whole body was that shade it would be ok.. But yeah.. It looks like I have arm transplants from some other person ;)
 
I'd have to say overall that I'm happy with how I look, except I hate almost every picture ever taken of me. I broke my nose when I was 6, don't notice it much when I look in a mirror, but can really see it in pictures. I've thought every now & then of having it fixed, but it doesn't bother me that bad. This is an interesting question though!
 
I need to lose weight. And I don't like my left eye because I have a habit of not opening it completely. Other than that, I know I'm cute so I'm okay.
 
What a question! :D

I'm never happy with anything about me! EVER. E-V-E-R. Okay I like my hair. Shh, don't tell anyone.
 
Erm, I wish I could say I'm happy with the way I look but I absolutely hate the way I look. I have football player legs(inherited from all the women in my family) and I'm pretty short. I hate my nose. I have asian eyes even though I'm not asian. Nothing wrong with asian eyes,they just draw a lot of attention to a blue eyed,blonde haired woman. As for my weight,I'm slowly accepting the fact that I will never fit back into those size 5 Levi's that I've stubbornly held on to since high school. I'm constantly on some kind of diet and get as much exercise as I can but when you're on every kind of medication that CAUSES weight gain, it's a very slow, uphill battle! LOL
 
WOW Dave! Good thing I'm having a good or this could really be a long post.
Hmm no I do not like my appearance at all. I weigh way to much for someone my age & height.
Like Nanci said my metabolism is killing me or lack of one anymore really, and of course family genes. Every time I start to lose a little I plateau and gain it back, sometimes with more added. That and the fact I have Diabetes, that and the medication for it makes you gain weight & makes me feel like crap most days. But it is truly amazing how much pain the human body can endure on a daily basis. You just learn to live with it. I wish I had someone to work with to help me lose this weight so that I might be able to put my Diabetes in remission for a few years and for me to be able to enjoy life pain free.
So know my friend I am not happy with my look but do hope to get help to change that. :)
And good post Dave!!!
But I also have to ask why you though of it?
 
I have spent most of my life being extremely resentful in regards to who I was and how I looked.
And then I was drafted into the army and even the little self esteem I had was crushed... but then... I simply got angry and I reached the conclusion that is with me to this day.

Whoever thinks you're not good enough can kiss your rear. You can live your life in two fashions:
1- Either hate yourself and be sad through your whole life always striving to be better
2- Strive to be better but love yourself and be happy.

At the end of the day, life will always demand that we become better, more fit, more educated- it's all about how you go about it, with a smile, or with tears running down your face.

And since then... heck, women have hit on -me-(and good looking ones to boot!). Understand people, I thought that I will be living the rest of my life alone.

Who and what you are today is the result of your PAST decisions- who you will be tomorrow is totally up to you.

Do I look exactly how I would like to? nope. I still respect the way I look though.

Sadly, self hatred is one of the most common ailments people suffer from. It took me many years to shrug it off, and it's not like I am completely cured.

This rather long post of mine is my way of telling you people- every single one of you is unique, special, brilliant and beautiful in is or her own right- it's all a matter of acknowledging it and allowing it to shine through for everyone else to enjoy.

^^well said!

I have to say that how i feel about the way i look depends on the day. I take meds that can make me really bloated, and though im told its not noticable, every woman hates a "fat" day when none of your clothes seem to fit. in a perfect world, i wish my nose were a little smaller, but am not that bothered as to have it fixed (most of the time).

I'd say that as long as you are healthy and well-rounded with at least one really good friend that you are perfect no matter what shape you are or what you look like. unfortunately the media portrays "perfection" in a woman as 5'10 and a size 0. which i think is funny since isnt the average size for a woman something like an 8? idk...i hate the media :( it causes nothing but bad self-esteem.
 
This is a good topic. Ive been a fighter my whole life and ive had my nose broken numerous times and my jaw. Looking in the mirror is ok but in pictures i can tell me nose is a little of and my jaw doesnt align perfect its slightly to the left. Most people dont even notice until i show them.

What can i say about my body though, i look awesome. I work my butt off to look the way i do though so it didnt come easy and im proud out it. Nothing like catching some girls turning their heads checking out your biceps as you walk by. Still got some work to do on my calves tho. Stupid genetics.
 
Meh, I don't think anyone is ever truly in love with the way they look unless they have some kind of narcissistic ego or something. Looks are very superficial, and will fade. Sure I could lose weight, ain't as young as I once was, have some scars and so on. But I can look at the face in the mirror and know I have been a good person to the best of my ability, not cheated or stolen or taken advantage of anyone, and I am happy with who I am. I don't measure my worth by what clothes fit me!
 
^Really nicely said, folks.

I wish I were a few inches taller. Other than that, this is the hand I've been dealt. I joke about having a face lift, but the reality is that I'm cheap. I'd rather have new carpet. :p
 
I am more or less happy with the way i look. I am on the opposite spectrum of the weight issue though, I couldn't gain a pound to save my life. I was also blessed with the body hair of a wolverine, and even though it keeps me warm in the winter, it doesn't catch the most positive comments when the shirt comes off. Easily fixed some of you may say, but I'm the last guy you would catch getting waxed.... it's just wrong :) If you ever feel bad about how you look, I'll introduce you to a burn victim friend of mine, who is very happy with how he looks. He tells me that a friend gained by physical appearance alone isn't really a friend..!
 
^ haha...that post made me laugh....I like people who don't take themselves too seriously!


As a 19-year-old girl in University- of course I have insecurities! I know I should have more confidence with my appearance....but it's so unfair that men get better with age while females tend to deviate from the ideal : P
 
I wish I was built like a brick house. I would LOVE to have some definition and muscle tone again. But alas, I'm too lazy to get my rear to the gym.

I also wish I had less body hair. Body hair = GROSS...
 
<--------- See that...Right there (avatar)...

He's caused me to have a stomach striped like a Tiger (I do love Stripes, but I'm so not a fan of them on my stomach!) with lots of extra, wrinkled, weird skin...And don't forget the big huge scar from surgery! So yeah...All's I can say is UGG! I have come to the conclusion that I will never be in a bikini ever again...Kind of depressing...

But he is so darn cute! ;)
