Today, I randomly felt like going the mile with makeup, hair, etc.
Sometimes, it just feels so nice to dazzle, especially when there are strangers to dazzle at.

So, my fellow Escapists, do you like to look nice for the sake of your own ego on occasion? I don't mean doing something because you're self-concious, but something more like the fancy dress running gag [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1480] from QC.
[small](yes, this isn't exactly my best OP, but its acceptable, and I can't get on the IRC, so I want to talk, and I thiOK, my meds are definitely taking effect now...)[/small]

No, looking pretty makes my intimidation rating plummet. I do like to look fancy though. *straightens sexy tie and shades*

Well since I'm a guy I think it would be kinda scary if I put on a dress...

Well I'm a guy so not really. Having people notice me is the last thing I want.

You know what I mean. You don't need to be pretty necessarily, but do you like to make yourself look nice on occasion? And why wouldn't you want to be noticed?

Around here, everything is about physical appearance. And my physical appearance keeps people from talking to me so they don't have time for the attitude.

All you need to do is get a top hat...Trust me, if you have a top hat you're a man. ;)

I always, always look my best. I hop out of bed, put my swag on, then take a look in the mirror and say what's up. Seriously though, there's nothing like the looks you get when you really take the time to make yourself shine.

nah not really, at most I'll straighten my hair, but otherwise I'd rather be comfy then pretty =]

but yeah same as Maxi, if there was a bar that rented out Victorian outfits, I'd be there almost every night =D

Oh, I love to look pretty. I've started wearing perfume pretty much all the time (even when going to the gym!), taking my time with my hair, and I even bought an electric shaver to keep my beard looking well.

I have the feeling that if I were a woman I'd spend all my time in front of the mirror.

If I found a bar that rented Victorian outfits, I would be in love.
I know it's based off a real bar, but I somehow doubt that part is reality.
I'm afraid that if such a place existed, I'd simply move there and spend my life in it.

Sometimes, but I usually never end up feeling pretty on those specific occasions (or maybe I just feel self-conscious).
I generally feel my best when I look normal.

Haha, It's never to look fancy. I own 3 leather jackets and 2 pairs of torn up jeans. Why? Because when I leave the house I want to look like as much of a douche as possible. Oh, and also, I never shave clean. Yeah, I look like an asshole, and yes I am 6 foot 4, what the fuck are you gonna do about it?

You know, all my friends appreciate a well-groomed male. Don't let anyone tell you that its not acceptable. :)

Well sure I don't mind looking spiffy every now and then but it's really too much of a bother because I don't really need to impress anyone. When I go outside I'm always running so there's not much time for people to "take it in" anyway. And I'm not sure why, I guess I just like to blend in with the background, when I do parkour I always get people turning their heads and it's somewhat annoying.

Physical appearance/physique matters more though, by far. If you are an emo kid wearing eye shadow, on a 150 pound frame trying to stare down a square jawed mammoth, well it just looks ridiculous.

Just like only good looking guys can get away with a cocky attitude and still get girls, only reasonably intimidating people or atleast averagely built people can come across as intimidating.

I actually flat out laughed at some small, skinny guy when he punched me in the face. It didn't hurt, he hit my forhead and hurt his wrist, but his build up was an attempt at intimidation and pretending he was a psycho. It just doesn't work if you aren't cut out to fill that role.

OT: As for me, yeah I like to look good but I won't spend hours in front of the mirror perfecting my hair - it looks best when I first wake up, so I wash it at night and not in the morning and get amazing bed hair.
