1.) Do you think about your appearance? Do you consider yourself attractive or whatever? Does it matter to you personally any more?
1a. Somewhat yes. I'm getting older, I'm out of shape, and I see more features that make me think of my dad, who I did not like very much in life. I don't dwell on it, but it does cross my mind when I look in the mirror.
1b. Not anymore no. From data from the various ladies who thirsted over me in my teens and 20s, and some guys who did the same, I USED to be attractive, but I don't think anyone finds me physical desirable in any capacity anymore. I could be wrong, I mean everyone has their own things that turn them on, but I don't see a large set where it's me at this point in my life.
1c. Eh, I mean somewhat? I don't like the fact that I'm not attractive or whatever, because it means I'm out of shape and have inferior health. I'd like to feel better, and be more sexually enthusiastic than I am, and a lot of that is due to my health. But, eh, I mean whatever.
2.) Do you change/deviate from your appearance at all? Do you change your hair style, clothing, whatever?
Many times yes. I've had long hair, all one length down past my shoulders in my youth, sometimes braided in loose, pinky thick braids (especially in the summer) with beads worked into them. A topknot style tie back on said long hair. I've also shaved my head bald multiple times, in fact I went from previously mentioned luscious long locks, to shaved head, in one go. I personally think EVERYONE should shave their head at least once. It's a very liberating experience. Seriously, no matter who you are or identify as, I suggest you shave your head at least once in your life.
3.) Do you think others care about your appearance? Do you perceive any difference in how you're treated vs how others are?
3a. I don't think so? Honestly don't pay it too much attention. What with minimizing my interactions with people, I'm not really talking to a lot of people on a regular basis, other than clients at work. And my appearance just doesn't come up. 3b. I mean, I'm a middle aged, overweight white dude, so yeah I get treated differently than say, a mid-20s attractive lady. Sure. Aside from the "hello nurse" kind of differences in behavior, not really. I'm pretty affable and easy going with people, even strangers. I don't have much issue striking up conversations with people and making the engagement enjoyable. In fact, it's pretty effortless for me. I work in customer service, have for decades, in particular phone customer service, and I've lost count of how often people compliment me for my help, and how I made their inquiry painless. So no, I don't think I get treated differently for how I look, as most people I engage don't see me, and the ones that do, are quickly warmed up to me personally.
4.) Is there a Celebrity you always wished you looked like? Is there a Celebrity you're always associated with? Stories about that?
4a. Not really? Wished I looked like, no.
4b/c. Yes, back in my long hair days, I had a lot of people tell me "you look just like jesus." Which was annoying as an atheist, but whatever. I've had people (my wife included) say that I looked like Keanu Reeves. In fact my wife has a thing for Keanu, and stated that was one of the things that drew her to me when we first met. And, I mean I guess back in my 20s-30s, I kind of resembled him? Thin, long features on a slim frame. More of a runner/climber physique than a muscle guy. I had long, dark hair, and varying ranges of stubble. Not a physical similarity to a celebrity, but I've had multiple people in the last few years, claim that I laugh like Seth Rogan. Which I guess I can kind of hear a bit, but I'm older than him, so HE laughs like me damnit.
*Edited in hopes of getting my point across better* 5.) Due to your appearance, are there people with certain fetishes who are typically attracted to you? Like Xprimentyl and I might get approached by women of other races because of the stereotypical of how endowed black men are.
I apparently have very full lips for a man. And I remember several women, one coworker at a production plant in particular, enjoyed it. The one lady at the plant flat out just said to my face, in a very "hungry lady looking for cock' kind of way that she loved my full lips, and that she'd love to suck on them. Then proceeded to lick her lips suggestively at me. I'm also a very tall guy, with big feet. And you know what they say about guys with big feet. I can't comment on that, but I've heard from the female friends of some of my ex-lovers, that they complimented my schlong's size when bragging about having sex with me, so...*shrugs* There is also a hand related version of this, about measuring the length of your...I think it's the middle finger, from the base of your palm to the tip? I forget, but, yeah I had a lot of women, when I was younger, come up to me, and ask to see my hand, and then do some measuring thing to it, and walk away giggling. Which, I find really funny. Between the woman licking her lips at me like I was a snack she wanted to eat, and the other women just grabbing my body and measuring it to see what my dick size would be, it's amusing to me how casually sexually harrassing women can be to men.
I also, apparently have very long and....dexterous fingers. This actually led to probably my most awkward social encounter related to sex in my life. It wasn't even that bad, at least not for me. I'm not terribly shy about talking about sex and fetishes and kinks or any of it. I personally think all the shame and taboo about it is a key reason we have so many fucked up people in the world. Forcing them to try and suppress a natural part of their life, and shame those who talk about it. For me, if it's consensual, it's all good, and there shouldn't be any problem discussing it among adults. Now, THAT HAVING BEEN SAID. It was REALLY odd when I was meeting a guy friend of an old girlfriend for the first time, and was shaking his hand, and he said "Oh, it's nice to meet you. *Name* has told me a lot about you." *girlfriend is standing right next to us* "Yeah, she says you've got some very long fingers" *pregnant pause as he's shaking the very hand in question, girlfriend grinning like a cheshire cat at the moment* Me: "Yes well....I guess she would know."
