Do you like what you see in the mirror?

[Hypoxia]

Assuming you form an image, of course.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yes..

 

[dolf]

absolutely even the squidgy bits!

 

[butters]

some days are better than others
some is within my power to change
some isn't

the best days are when the mirror reflects how i feel inside

 

[BotanyBoy]

Not particularly....

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I don't think about me because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I strive to be clean but cant care less what folks think of me. When I was 18 two girls quarreled over my looks...one insisted I was dog meat, the other insisted I was a dream-boat. The first time I met my wife she was all over my ass.

You're asking a forum full of narcissists if they "dig theyselves"?




lol

 

[tucker817]

I like what I see. But I strive to better myself if that makes any sense.

 

[Balladeer08]

Let me reflect on that before I answer.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

After my domepiece is freshly shaven and has that sparkly sheen, yeah.

 

[PoppingTom]

Me, myself and I love me whenever we see me.

 

[Ishmael]

Of course. The issue is, and has always been, do others see what I see?

Ishmael

 

[1HF]

Some days, sure. Others, not so much. I'm my own worst critic.

 

[Adre]

There's this old guy looking back at me.

 

[Miles Long]

If I'm wearing tweed, yes I do. Otherwise probably not as much.

 

[DesEsseintes]

Some days, sure. Others, not so much. I'm my own worst critic.

I was my own worst critic before I joined here. Now I barely make the top 10.

And to answer Hypoxia's question - no, of course. I'm English.

 

[Paendragon]

Ish is getting existential on us.

I dig it.

I generally like what I see . . . but I don't get too caught up in it, unless I'm trying to impress. And then the only difference I employ is being freshly shaved. Unlike many men, I do not look good with a two day growth.

I'm not in the kind of shape I was even five years ago, but life will often do that to you. What's more important is that I like myself more than I did. That effects the way I carry myself, and the way I interact with people. I'm more smiling, less brooding.

While that's probably not as 'sexy' . . . I don't need to be. I'm just me.

And I'm okay with that.

 

[Ishmael]

Hey dude. Have you broken your distilling cherry yet? If not you can try some aging. Suck up to Mischka, she has an Oak barrel source.

[sixfeetundernea]

No. Especially since my generic Windex sucks.

No distilling, because I'm not in a permanent place, yet (my job keeps me moving around, so it's apartment living for me and the missus).

I did buy one of those aging kits, but hadn't set it up intil recently. I'm about a month in . . . it's a two liter barrel, with some standard "white dog" whiskey inside of it.

The question is how long I age it. Recommended is 3-6 months, which is a pretty big disparity from what I understand.

 

[pink]

Honestly, there are parts of my body that are great, others that need work. I like me, I like who I am. I am comfortable with the woman I am. I do the best I can with life. That is just who I am.

Start doing some 'taste tests.' The smaller the barrel the faster the aging. Two months in a 2 liter barrel is equivalent to 7 years in a 55 gal. barrel.

There is an old lady haunting my mirror. I never see me, and always she!

 

[RobDownSouth]

Either that, or glaucoma....possibly cataracts as well.
:nods:

Is that the faceless old woman that secretly lives in your house?
