I wish my beard would come in all the way in the middle of my chin, but, aside from that, I'm perfectly happy with how I look.

Sort of. From most people's perspective I should probably be answering 'Definitely yes' but because I know what I could do with a better food budget (see also: healthier) and membership to an actual gym (as opposed to improvising) I chose to go with 'Sort of'.
No not really. There are plenty of things I'd change about myself. I wish I had a skinnier build, a bit taller, better jawline, straight hair. Basically everything
Nope, but that's cause I still got a few more pounds till I get my abs 
Not even joking about that. I seriously just can't be satisfied without them... and I'm sooooo close!

Basically this. Fucking human body, holding on to fat during the winter. I don't care if it's -3 degrees Fahrenheit outside at noon, I want my goddamn abs!Billy D Williams said:Nope, but that's cause I still got a few more pounds till I get my abs

Definitely Yes for me. I'm in great shape, I like my face enough. My hair is glorious, if a bit hard to style. I won't claim to be super handsome, but I'm very happy with my overall appearance.
My only problem with my appearance is having bi-polar acne on my face. Sometimes is calms down and doesn't look too bad, and other times I should be called pizza face. It sucks to know I had no acne problems in high school, and BAM! I get to college and my body decided I can't look too good. :/

I voted "Sort of". I've dropped over 20kg during the last couple of years, so I'm more comfortable about my image and undeniably better looking than ever.
However... I badly need style. I've never had a clue what to do with my hair for one, I'd like to do the handsome parted hair look but I can't pull it off. I'm comfortable wearing tighter clothes now which is good but I still have no fashion sense. And I've got really pale skin and probably bad posture.
So I'm happier than ever about my body, but not satisfied yet with my image and presentation. So I'm "sort of" happy. At least I still have the broad shoulders going for me thanks to how active I was as a kid.

I'm pretty much ok with myself.
While I don't and can't flaunt this imperfect body of mine, my face is quite unusual in some nice ways and it really lends itself well to the big cheesy grins I'm so fond of making. Even though I love all of this about myself I still try to improve myself at every opportunity as I know I could be in better shape and I could take better care of myself I just need to learn how.
For me to have total confidence in my looks I'd have to;
lose 15kg of fat and replace it with muscle,
go into the sun more often and stop being so pale
and get the tattoo I want done once I lose that excess fat.
So to sum thing up "Sort of"
[sub][sub]Also my hair is fabulous.[/sub][/sub]

Whether I look good to others is irrelevant to myself, that I am satisfied with my appearance is all that matters to me, and I am quite proud of my silky over-shoulder-length hair and soft trimmed beard, that 'ye very much.
I used to be really dissatisfied with my appearance, being that the common opinion is that a handsome man is a man with short hair and a bald face, but then I realized that opinion is created by all the fake d-bags in the media and yuppies, I am neither, thus I shouldn't be ashamed that I ain't a pretty boy, so I ain't.
All that aside, I tend to stand out in a crowd where ever I go due to my appearance, and not in a "Ew, what a neck beard/troll/hipster" way either, so that could be argued to be a good thing, depending on who you ask.

I'm short, thin, scruffy, pale and ginger. No, I'm not too happy.
People aren't repulsed by my face, though. I have been kissed on it, but only by men.
I suppose I'm lucky in another way. I got really bad sunburn on my nose one summer, and it killed the ability to form freckles on my nose. I don't have a very freckled face in general. Thank god. I hate freckles...

Nope, my body is a bit weird in that I got really muscly and thick legs (you don't want to get one of my kicks!) but averagely built arms giving me an inverse V shape (as opposed to the classic V shape a good looking guy with broad shoulders and big arms is meant to have) so will therefore automatically look less attractive body shape wise if you put me in same clothes as other dudes.
Well its not so much that I lost them and need them back, I've just lost like 40 pounds in 7 months and I'm like 4 away from abs XPDethenger said:Basically this.

More or less the same here, it's just that I made so much progress during the summer, I was this close. It got to the point where I could see them sometimes when I was doing cardio, just not otherwise. But then fall swung around, and now it's just getting colder and colder. I'm still pretty lean, but I have gained a little weight, and when it gets too cold, I won't even be able to go to the park to work out any more. Fall and winter are my favourite seasons, but as far as that goes, I can't wait for summer.Billy D Williams said:Well its not so much that I lost them and need them back, I've just lost like 40 pounds in 7 months and I'm like 4 away from abs XPDethenger said:Basically this.

I have a lot of problems with the way I look. Lack of self confidence mostly. I feel I'm way too skinny (6ft 3 and only 10 stone). Though I'm going to the gym now so maybe it'll change.
