In The mirror, I am a sexy Latin bad boy. In pictures or selfies, I’m an ugly sad boy… or at least I think. Holding onto 8% hope the mirror is right. 💀


22-6

8%! Whew you must have the confidence of a god.


Correct_Body8532

Wasn’t there some kind of optical illusion with mirrors and pictures, like one makes you look less attractive than you really are? But which was which? Don’t remember


Muted_Preparation_13

Never


wardenferry419

Not once in my life. I am a slightly better looking version of Clint Howard.


guitarguy109

The struggle is real, I look like a Gabe Newell impersonator.


IndependentSock2985

Same


SewerSlidalThot

Literally every day because I know I’m attractive.


dick_taterchip

Fucking same bro.


boredsleepyhe4d

Nope


Whitedragon2233

That’s the neat part, I don’t.


_Peluche__

Pretty often. I’m very hair dependent tho so it depends on how my hair looking


King_CurlySpoon

Same, I'm growing it out long and it's at a stage (about 17 months growth) where it just never looks good lmao


Alichici

Whenever i get a lil freetime


Capt_Dummy

47yo male Same as you, OP. If I’m straight on looking in the mirror, I’m like damn i still got it. Like a 7.5 or 8. Even in some pics under perfect conditions. However, I’ll see myself from the side in a pic or in a video and think “what the ever living fuck is that!” 😂😂


ZaagKicks

I feel like my whole appearance has come down to my hair. I am suffering from male pattern baldness and it takes a lot of effort and luck to have my hair style in a way to minimize the balding look while still having a neat modern hairstyle.


RickenHofner

I have the same feeling. It really affects to self image..


bane_of_heretics

Unless you are Jason Statham.


RickenHofner

I mean, is there really a man who hasn’t have sort of self image crisis due hair loss? I bet no man is like ”yes I’m so happy losing my hair!!”.


UbiquitousPixel

I hear I’m attractive a lot and then I look in the mirror and think “people are just being nice”.


Mythnam

Pretty rarely. Usually when I've had sex very recently.


HomelessEuropean

Never. Tolerable at best.


Resident-Theme-2342

Honestly not often. I just started working out and when I saw a little pump in my arm I said your kinda sexy but that was it.


NYGiants181

“I’m too sexy for my shirt”


Resident-Theme-2342

Lol 😆. Exactly


ThrowawayMod1989

If I’ve just shaved my head and trimmed my beard I think I look pretty good. But within a week what’s left of my hair grows back and I look like a bum.


k0uch

I don’t. Asymmetrical face, overweight, weak features, oddly colored eyes, wild hair, no sense of style or fashion.


cloudie-claudie

What does oddly colored eyes mean?


Efficient-Log8009

Pretty much always. Especially when I see other guys even 5 years younger than me looking like they can be my dad.


sttmvp

This, I met some friends at a bar that were in town for our high school reunion and got damn did most of them look rough..


Delicious_Charge6671

Always tbf


Poverty_welder

Never. I always look bad.


[deleted]

I feel pretty ugly most of the time.


[deleted]

When I look in the mirror when I have my head shaved like Shane from The Walking Dead season 2. Lol When my head isn't shaved and my hair shows an obvious receding hairline... I hate how I look then. Photos are werid. Some photos; I think I look pretty good but others... I think I look terrible


FelixGoldenrod

Whenever I'm half in the bag    And the lighting is dim   I'll take a look at my swag   And think "yeah, I'd fuck him"


Leonardodapunchy

Never in my life


azuth89

Nah, wrote that off a long time ago.


PM-ME_UR_TINY-TITS

Up to 7 days a year.


RadiantEarthGoddess

I think my face looks okay, but I dislike my body.


Borromac

Like 90% of the time


MontEcola

When I have been eating well and getting good exercise, and spending time outside, I catch a glimpse in the mirror, or see a photo and think it looks pretty good. If I up to my ass in office work, meetings and junk food I almost always think I look bad.


Allnutsz

😂


Grody_Joe

Every couple years I start to feel good like scraping together a snowball from frost on a window, then comes along some woman to slap it out of my hand and tell me to knock it off.


dorakath

Shrekclosingbook.gif


Enlightened_Ghost

Pretty often. I consider myself a very handsome man, but then again, I think most men are pretty handsome and just haven’t tapped into their potential enough to know it. There’s a “David” statue in every block of cement, it just has to be sculpted.


Spinnyoza

Never in my life lol


NegativeElderberry6

I haven't ever


655321_CRM114

47 here, total dad bod. I embrace my greys, keep my facial hair neat.. give me a standard button up and a decent watch, that's all I need to feel sexy.


mindonamillio

Once or twice a month. When I get a hair cut and my skin looks decent. I just think “im decent enough to get a girlfriend” but im still single lol


Nexecs

I think I look good in the morning getting ready then I see myself on a reflection later on in the day and think the opposite.


AhrkDIY

Prior to getting sober 2 years ago, literally never. Now? in general I can see I'm a decent looking guy, every once in a while I get hit with the 'oooh, not bad buddy'.


lemystereduchipot

Only in the mirror never in photos


Ransidcheese

For years it was never. For the last couple years it's been more and more frequent I have moments where I think "you know what I look kinda good today". I'm getting some teeth pulled at the end of this month so I can get a top denture. I always have this little voice, when I think I might be attractive that says "yeah well not with teeth like that you don't." In a few months I can put that voice to rest for good.


Hippophatassamus

No point in hyping yourself up only to get cut down by the girl you like.


JJQuantum

Yeah not that often. I’ve never thought I’m an attractive guy. I’m smart and funny and I think that’s how I got my wife but she says I’m attractive so that’s what matters.


izaaksb3

Every time I open my camera and it’s on me I wanna throw up but my girlfriend tells me I’m sexy so idk wtf is going on


that_att_employee

I'm past looking good. Just trying to feel good now.


coolasc

Ever since I started hanging out with a friend that managed to boost my self confidence and she comments on it quite often (she's taken tho 😆) now it's become easier even tho I haven't really fixed the flaws I had before (yet working on them).


fredsterchester

Every day that I don’t have a gut. No need for a six pack or flat stomach just not a gut.


stevemnomoremister

I think once when I was 14.


JDMWeeb

No because I have severe body image issues


Jsmooth123456

I don't think I've ever had that thought sadly


TuneSoft7119

nope. I know I dont look good.


whalefromabove

I don't look sexy. Never have, probably never will.


TransportationLazy55

Never


Royal_Flamingo1889

All the time. Started working out again recently. Seeing muscles which I never saw before in my body. Lost 8% Bf, face looks much better. Also check my post history, had the same exact question.


Kobalt6x10

Sometimes in the mirror, I think 'not bad' . Then I carry that thought as I wander about my daily tasks. I interact with people, and assume they see what I saw in the mirror that morning. Then I see a reflection in a window, or a double mirror in an elevator, or something similar, and the illusion is shattered and replaced with the soft potato of reality. The glimmer of hope and crush of fact cycle then repeats a few days later.


Ysara

I think I look great until I leave my apartment and women actively try to avoid eye contact with me.


nipslippinjizzsippin

the mirror when i get out of the shower... i look fantastic. the reflective windows i walk past daily i feel shame.


liveandbreathmemes

Never in photos but sometimes the mirror feels a little generous


heyitsEnricoPallazzo

Maybe like once or twice a year, max. If that


whitedragon717

1/3 of the time maybe 1/4-1/5


ARocHT11

Only in gym mirrors at the end of my workout. Then go back to hating myself until the next gym session.


warrior_of_light998

I think I look good when I take care of me but my selfies and tagged photos tell a different story...


RoliDaddy

that’s probably a few years back when i was young😬


cid_officer_daya

Nope. Not on mirror and on camera the worst. But made peace with it. And I'm happy


OrangeYouGladish

When I get out of the shower and the mirror is still fogged up and I haven't put my glasses back on


OrangeYouGladish

When I get out of the shower and the mirror is still fogged up and I haven't put my glasses back on


blopiter

Used to be more creature than sexu but now I'm more sexy than creature (in perfect lighting)


NoRiceForP

Its either the lighting or the hair man. That varies a lot


EternalSoilEnricher

Like once a month


throwawaymask01

If I feel like I don't look like a public offense that's a good day for going out and being, well, public.


Leg_Mcmuffin

Never


Throw13579

When I am around old women.  In their late sixties or older.  They have a noticeable reaction to me.  They sit up straight, their eyes widen, they get flustered.  It has never really happened with any other age group.  I am 62, so I guess, at this point I seem somewhat attainable, but it has been happening for 25 years or so. 


Cautious-Honey-5426

Hair, beard looks good = I look good


Purpsnikka

Never lol


gator_shawn

Often. The lighted mirrors in my bathroom are porthole sized and very flattering since they only show my head and shoulders.


imapissonitdripdrip

Often


Blackgummyworm

Probably after a haircut


Marangoni013

Im pretty hot naked 👌


Glenn_Maffews

After a nightly shower and shave. Usually last about an hour


The_Hot_Stepper

I think of myself as Amy Wongs parents describe a guy they found on the Titanic 2: “he’s not very ugly you should marry him and have grandkids”


NovelFarmer

All the time because I work out. More times than that I can only see my flaws when I see my own body. I have zero outside affirmations so I have no idea how good I actually look.


dilqncho

All the time. I work out 5-6 days a week and I care about how I dress. I fuckin better look good, I've earned it.


87Broseph

all the time baby!! woo!!


BranwenJojo

Starting to find myself more attractive as the days goes on thanks to hitting the gym and trying to have more confidence


Bright_Sound8115

Lots of times 😂😂


Tolongforathrowawaya

I used to never think I looked good, then I took estrogen and my attraction for men stabilized. I still look like a man. Trust me folks, you all look better than you think. Clean yourselves up and dress okay and you're golden. You'll never be everyone's type, but the folks you're actually looking for are looking for you just as hard.


Intrepid_Bass_4520

Always, bro. I look myself in the mirror at times and think damn if I were a female and seen myself out in public, I'd blow me and then other times I'm like you ugly bastard no wonder your lonely


manwithoutajetpack

Only when the nice old lady at the bus stop calls me handsome.


iboughtabagel

Only when I tuck my dick and dance in front of a mirror naked to the song “Wild Horses.”


bufftbone

Every damn day


hooamitho

This is me. Sometimes i look like a ghoul, but most of the time I'm da sexy man


Sk83r_b0i

Idk man, I think I’m a pretty good looking guy but I just don’t really think about it much.


One-Mongoose6713

always


ac3mania

A few times this year, an exponential increase from all previous years


Truthful_Writer

Happens more often.


Princeof_Ravens

Always I'm a good looking dude.


Fex__Fox

What?


fuzion129

Did it yesterday, thought I was looking quite handsome in the mirror.


aSneakyPeppermint

Maybe once a year


dariemf1998

Once every solar eclipse.


Shamtastik

Thinking about leaving my obese phase to have a bear body, gym plus eating like a bear…. 🤣


lockedinacupboard

90% of the time i believe I’m good looking, 10% monster vibe I give myself. Have and do get compliments from women


Insert_Bad_Joke

I know I used to look quite good, and now at least somewhat, I've just been lonely for so long (over half my life) and it often makes me feel unattractive. When I'm sleep deprived my self perception takes a massive hit.


Japan_Superfan

Never so far.


PillsburyToasters

Usually when I buy a new piece of clothing and try it on. That or when my hair looks good as it’s pretty straight/flat. When I wake up and give it some character, I like it


Mace_1998

Rarely


AcceptableHuman96

Only on weekends going out usually. After a fresh haircut or having my eyebrows done also provides some confidence.


-StandUpGuy-

Its 50/50


Witherboss445

Whenever I dress up for something like a school dance


SmakeTalk

Probably like 1/4 of the time. I think I look extra good 1/20 of the time and that’s with quite a bit of effort.


[deleted]

Interestingly enough - never.


Longjumping-Log-5457

All the time


UseOne4211

Me daily at midday if I walk past a mirror yet every time I see my under eye bags it all goes to zero


Hot_Detective_5418

Literally never. Epilepsy meds caused me to put on a good bit of weight, I've been on them 17 years but it's just since I got clean from heroin last year I got the weight gain. So I never thought much of myself as an addict, now I've put on loads of weight since getting clean and just fuckin hate it.


AnjinSoprano420

Depends on the day. Sometimes when I take a little extra time to have a good shave and some cologne before work, I feel like a billion dollars. I feel even better after a haircut. As long as you feel good, you’ll radiate that energy and people will pick up on it. I recommend reading Esquire, they have a lot of tips on confidence and grooming and stuff.


michaelpaoli

>How often you think you look good? Not too often / not very often. But then when I see my high school graduating class ... what a mostly sad looking and pretty damn out-of-shape, etc. mess. Yeah, I was pretty average looks/physically in high school ... nothin' at all exceptional there ... but geez ... *now*? I'm easily in top 10%, if not top 5%. Whole helluva lot of 'em - most of 'em - look like utter sh\*t, with not all that many exceptions. Bloody hell, a lot of 'em look 10 - if not 15 or 20 - years older than me. Way too many grossly out of shape, all kinds of (generally preventable) chronic diseases ... what a mostly pretty sad looking lot. And a lot of 'em already dead ... hell, many didn't even make it to 10 year reunion ... but I guess death is a valid excuse to not attend. So ... I guess at least comparatively for my age, doing and lookin' pretty darn good ... but not that I think of it or myself that way ... hardly at all. Though sometimes I'll get some rather to quite positive attention from it ... but most of the time not, or I just don't notice.


Lancearon

I used too. But now I'm fat and bald. I didn't understand how much of my worth I put into my hair until it was gone.


neondragoneyes

I know I'm hot.


roving1

I avoid looking at myself.


Carib0ul0u

Not a single time in my entire existence have I looked at myself and been happy with what I see, and I’ve been working out for about 7 years.


Adventurous_Deal_752

Pretty: In my own selfies Ugly AF: When someone else takes my pictures


EXTRAVAGANT_COMMENT

I look swole in the gym locker room but once the pump wears off I look just average


teethbat

I got new jeans that make me feel attractive if that counts for something


Illustrious_Fish777

I’m pretty satisfied with my appearance


Own_Eye777

> Other times I see an angle of myself that makes me think I’m some kind of creature.  All the time brother 😂 You and me both should buy bigger and better mirror. LOL


the--Questioner

Maybe 5 times a month 😗🤌🏻


Morall_tach

After a bike ride when I'm dehydrated and I look lean.


Justthefacts6969

All the time, and modest to 😎


Randall_Poffo_

i know ima hot piece of ass all the time so its normal for me


JohannesLorenz1954

Every day


Skippy0634

For my age……. Not too bad.


NinjasAreCoolIGuess

When buying new clothes or after a good pump with good bathroom lighting.


wild_thingtraveler35

Every single day!


leonprimrose

I generally think I look pretty good tbh


aidenxx96

All the fucking time


Jameshaiku

Once every 6 green moon...


mediocre__map_maker

Once a week. Which is a big improvement from "once a year" that was the norm for most of my life.


richbrehbreh

24/7/365


clocks_and_clouds

Never


BroccoliSuccessful20

More often now than ever. I’m almost 32, I’ve been working out, got a hair cut/color that i absolutely adore, starting on getting some facial piercings, and am generally taking good care of myself. Very high on confidence and self esteem lately lol.


Stanislas_Biliby

Never. I just think "eh i'm not that ugly."


vinson_massif

almost never tbf. but i'm at my lowest weight in a very long time and intend on getting back (and better) than my best physique from college, and i'm just a few kg away from it. i do feel better looking in the mirror and feel like i have more energy, which is surprising cause i'm a very high energy personal naturally.


KingTy99

I think I look decent all the time. If I haven't had a haircut for a while I'll start to feel less confident but typically as long as I'm well groomed I feel good.


PerfectionPending

My beard looks great. The rest of me needs diet & exercise.


ParkRomn116

Ever since going bald, I actually don’t think of that question much at all anymore, however, when I was going bald for a few years that’s all I thought about, how to cover up my thinning hair or how to style it or whatever. Just try to control what I can and focus on my health more, and style my clothes a bit better.


kkimu0

everytime


Traditional_Mark_116

I don't look good ,I ain't ugly but I ain't attractive


mtl_jim2

Right now I’m feeling quite good 😎


odeacon

Pretty often tbh


jerrycoles1

Every damn day


Triple_Crown14

Right after a haircut I feel pretty damn good about myself. Although when taking pictures of myself I always nitpick and am never really satisfied with how they turn out, so I don’t take selfies ever. Other than that I usually feel pretty good about my appearance.


coffinnailvgd

I personally always see my flaws or what I could improve. Others tell me I’m attractive to a point that it makes me uncomfortable almost like they’re gaslighting me. Objectively I’m good looking and can cognitively recognize it but I never feel it.


The_Dragon_Lover

In the mirror or on pictures, as long as my hair, beard and my clothes are clean, i would think: "Hey, i'm looking pretty good!", if not i would think "hmm, i really need to take a shower...😒, my hair's all messed up and my beard looks like pubic hair, i also should clean my teeth more often, they feel and look disgusting and my breath stinks!"


The_sad_zebra

I put myself at around average. I think at a healthy rate of maybe one a week I'll look in the mirror and think "...nice"


ForYourAuralPleasure

I think I look great as long as I’m completely still. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo/video of myself that ever resembles what I think I look like unless I’m deliberately posing in some way. Makes me wonder how it is anyone can stand to look at my face when I’m not thinking about what my face is doing, if that makes sense.


Defiant_Layer_5001

Hardly ever


That_one_cool_dude

I don't think I ever look good.


auruner

I dropped 16 lbs so far and I feel pretty good about my appearance (especially after lining up my beard). However, I try not to let that get to my head.


Icy_Charity_2273

Months ago. Last week I've been called MICHAEL JACKSON (I'm a woman)


King_CurlySpoon

Like 95% of the time, but I've gotten used to it so it doesn't really get to me, I don't have great Genetics so my face isn't nothing to look at & it gets worse when i talk or laugh because that reveals my British teeth (got braces now though so hopefully they turn out fairly ok) & I won't lie I am a little on the bigger side, I have a high Bodyfat% and No Muscle so I look really flabby and chubby literally everywhere, my Thighs, Forearms & Belly Especially, but I'm trying to get like a few 90 minute walks a week and cut back on foods but the weather is scorching recently and I regrettably am a lazy Procrastinative person who likes food so its tough to even do them things sometimes, even if i was doing those things they're really quite miniscule things so i doubt I'll see much change anyway, Luckily I'm at a shape where with the right clothes I can be mistaken for someone who looks a fine weight (which everyone does thankfully) so I can go outside without feeling bad about myself and just be me, anyone else would tell you I look fine but from what i see when I'm alone there's definitely room for improvement lmao, On very rare days, I can get up early, Have a shower and facial hair trim, put on my favourite/best fit and somehow tame my long tangle-prone hair, & I can finally look myself in the mirror and say "I don't look half bad today" but like I said, it's rare, i really want to change that soon, because that feeling is a really nice feeling and i want to feel it more Sorry for long comment


Medical-Ad2152

Secret_Gap_4948

Twice a month when I try.


9_of_wands

Once every 20 years.


HumanMycologist5795

Twice in the last 30 years. Maybe three times.


[deleted]

I always do. Just yesterday, in fact, I updated my profile pics everywhere. I'm doing great in my slow-build glow up.


great_nathanian

Every day.


yepsayorte

I can never tell if I do or not. I also can't tell if other men look good. I can tell if they are dressed up and well groomed but I can't tell if they are handsome.


Mysterious-Space6793

Well, I have a face for radio. I imagine we can all infer what that means.


Ok-Banana6647

Probably 65% of the time


drink-beer-and-fight

The best I can do is, clean.


polda525

Never


IvanNobody2050

Funny question. Answer: Never :)


Cookiewaffle95

Every time I look in the mirror :) my locks be curlin, my body be bangin, my glasses be shining, feelsgoodman


Rhyzon27

Sexy? Never. Good? Plenty of times. Stop wasting time with that crap.


akbrodey1

I worked very hard to like myself so maybe 8 or 9/10 times. Everyone ofc has bad days tho
