I used to care, but I'm 33 now and it hasn't done me any good, so far. Everybody in my town knows me anyhow, so I figure, whats the use? I'm probably known as that wierd guy who lives by himself, who used to be a drunk/drug addict. I've lost hope.

I do groom myself, trim my nails, keep good hygiene, brush my teeth, etc but I do that because I want to feel clean. Beyond that, I really don't care.

Before attractive girls told me otherwise, I used to think I was ugly, because of what kids at school would say.

I never really tried to do anything about it though, besides staring in the mirror and wishing :roll:

I just wear what I think is cool and don't really listen to others' opinions. Sometimes I intentionally wear things that aren't in style, just to be a rebel 8)

No, I really don't care.

And yet, I do pay some attention to my looks for practical purposes. As a performer, I have to look young and unique. Otherwise, people won't pay as much attention to my music. That's just the nature of the beast.

That reminds me of a shirt that I have that says "Allergic to stupid people." I wear it whenever I'm going to be around a lot of "sheep." Last time I wore it, I actually started sneezing. :lol:

I try to be as unnoticeable as possible. dark or subdued colors, for most of my shirts, and normal blue jeans is what i normally wear day to day

Sometimes, I like to get really dressed up, with make-up and all, but I couldn't care everyday. I've been told that I don't really need make-up, anyway. As for being obsessed, that comes and goes.

Cheer up jawbrodt. :thumleft: Things are normally never as bad as you make them out to be.

It's nice because it's harder for idiots to throw a label on you :roll:

Sometimes they try and I laugh :wink:

I'm not obsessed with my looks. I don't consider myself ugly, but I know I do need to lose weight. I am 140 pounds and just 5' 1". I need to lose about 15 pounds.

What really bothers me about my appearance is the fact that my hair is apparently making an exodus from my scalp at a rapidly-increasing speed. I mean, I have no actual bald patches as of yet, but there is a spot towards the back of my head that has seemingly staked its claim to being the first place my scalp goes totally hair-free :(

Still, at least I've decided to deal with it in a rational fashion, by cutting my hair closer rather than growing it out into a ponytail. The latter choice would be a tragic mistake, I think...

Other than that, I just try to keep myself looking at least vaguely presentable, rather than obsessively grooming and preening like a bipedal peacock.
