When you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror, do you think "hey, looking good!" or "who's that munter? oh no, it's me"?

DV, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I usually think, "Alas, so much potential..."

Dan Perry, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i usually think:

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

katie, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm waiting for someone to post in about how goodlooking they are, only for someone else to post saying "Actually..."

DV, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Weirdly the former usually, but I'm also certain I'm the only one.

Graham, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

when i get out of the shower and look at myself in the nude. I want to cry. How my fiance is attracted to me remains to be seen. My beer gut continues to get bigger. I bet I would be sexy to a horny elephant.

Chris, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I just think, "Eh" and mentally shrug. But I guess there's something there.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm picturing ned doing a big, *MENTAL* shrug. and not finding it too difficult.

RJG, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

You have found me out. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i am one sexy motherfucker, as people at the last NYC meet will attest. oh wait, nobody remembers who i am :(

Dan Perry, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I'm sexy.

jel --, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm just sort of ordinary, I suppose. I don't think I turn heads when I walk down the street (except when people laugh at me because I have done something stupid and dorky such as walk into a lamp post by accident or something), but equally children and small animals don't run screaming from me in terror either.

I have never thought of myself as sexy, but I am not a virgin so by deduction I guess someone must have found me attractive. It's just a shame I am forced to wear those paper bags all the time though, as I get slightly claustrophobic ;-)

I'd post a pic, but I'm too shy.

C J, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't contradict you+wouldn't want to. but I don't know if this FOLLOWS.

RJG, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, you're prolly right there

C J, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm fairly good-looking but not really sexy; they're really two different things. Luckily, other people find me plenty sexy so it all works out.

chaki, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I caught myself making eyes at myself in the mirror this morning

electric sound of jim, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

INCEST.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Onanism surely

Modern narcissism.

j.lu, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i'm incredibly sexy, and i can't understand why no-one else is uncontrollably attracted to me. but then i remember that i'm a giant walking personality defect.

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i think you're sexy di

chaki, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I usually just look in the mirror and think "Argh, NOOOO!". Esp. in the mornings, I look like a redheaded Courtney Love after a bad bender or something. Or a hobbit.

Nicole, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Right now I'm drunk and for some reason feel sexy. Sometimes my blue eyes and sweet ass make me feel sexy.....

Chris, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

chaki obv you have never met me!!

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you are sexy Di.
I think I'm sexy too.

rainy, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

awww rainy you are too kind to me. i got nuthin on you in yr glasses and cap!!

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Di, I'm not the only one who thinks so! I saw "Ross" checking out your ass at the Clarendon. (ps: are you coming to Metro tonight, I'll sing you another song!)

rainy, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

hey if all else fails i can get some HOTT BOGAN loving. it goes to show you can take the girl outta oamaru but you can't take oamaru outta the girl. i'd like to see yr band tonight but probbly i should do my assignment. i'll see. good luck!!

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse in a mirror and go "oh, he looks cool", then "oh shit it's just me." If I look knowingly I am appalled at my decline. Di you looked pretty sexy when I saw you that time, but a) it was about 2 and a half years ago and b) I was drunk. So um, that might not be too great a compliment. And now I feel like a creepy stalker! Yippee!

Andrew, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

fanks andrew. no-one should indulge me when i'm wallowing in self- pity. as i said, you have cute indyfeet.

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i am one sexy motherfucker, as people at the last NYC meet will attest.

Yes.

oh wait, nobody remembers who i am :(

Wrong.

Michael Daddino, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

this thread is making me think of rod stewart.

di, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's try that again so we don't confuse the children and scare the horses:

i am one sexy motherfucker, as people at the last NYC meet will attest.

Yes.

oh wait, nobody remembers who i am :(

Wrong.

Michael Daddino, Thursday, 15 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

would that be because of reading dan's rod stewart joke di?

Josh, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Um.... maybe.

Brian MacDonald, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

ooops didn't read upthread. but yeah i've had that song in my head all day now.

di, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i never make an effort, so i'm never disappointed.

g-kit, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

haha oh i have rod stewart in my head now too! i don't think i'm sexy. i'm just ordinary i guess, although i am quite massively tall, which tends to draw attention to me. sometimes i look in the mirror and i like what i'm wearing, but i guess that follows because i picked it. usually i don't like how i look that much though.

Livvie, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a question I can never answer. At base, I don't understand what differentiates "cute" from "sexy." I can manage cute, I think, or my best attempt at it anyway, but I just don't understand what this can possibly have to do with sex.

Pyth, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have three main responses when I look in the mirror:

1. "Woah, you sexy." 2. "God, you're a scrawny knackered-looking minger who might be just starting to go bald" 3. "Yep, you're pretty sexy, but I don't see why any girls would fancy you as there will always be at least two people better looking than you sitting round the table at any given time".

I go for option 3 most of the time.

Matt DC, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think "so THAT'S who stole all the pies" and think curses curses chiz chiz that minger is me. Then I think "mmm pies are nice though". And eat some more. Then they airlift me out of the pie warehouse. Pie?

Sarah, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I sometimes think "nice shirt" but it's usually followed by "what the hell would be wrong with shaving your head".

Ronan, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Today I don't feel sexy. I feel like poo. but it could be sexy poo.

Chris, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahahahaa EXACTLY what Sarah said, but with vegan pie obv. and BEER.

katie, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

The difference is that after the beer you think "I am sexy".

Ronan, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ronan - "what the hell would be wrong with shaving your head".

hahahaha. I wonder this myself. I've got some nice shirts too.

Andrew, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone should shave their heads at least once.

Dan Perry, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

gee, really? i've never shaved my head. don't force me.

i can barely be bothered to shave my face.

g-kit, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I find all kinds of non-trad sexiness sexy (I'm attracted to all kinds of offbeat people/tropes/looks) but I'm not generally impressed by anyone in that "trying too hard while they're struttin' down the sidewalk" mold. I live in hope that there are a decent number of people out there of a similar bent but such has sadly not been my experience.

(hcnuL dlO) * (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:09 (twelve years ago)

Positive no one here thinks that is the full range, or even WITHIN range, of "sexy" although it is a cunning red herring socially speaking.

grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:14 (twelve years ago)

How could smart interesting people not be sexy!?

ask this question after you've seen me dance

Influential Acid Jazz Pioneer (crüt), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:18 (twelve years ago)

actually I'm really bummed that I don't feel sexy when I'm dancing. what's the point of dancing if you can't feel sexy doing it??

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Spiderman 3 is the epitome of sexiness.

xp i hope you're happy that your dancing has set off a wave of self-loathing among us

Butt Trump tweet (Matt P), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:26 (twelve years ago)

imo dancing is for you, not for other people. unless it's some sort of formal dancing style. or if you're grinding.

mh, Monday, 21 January 2013 21:27 (twelve years ago)

crut i'm gonna send you a tracklist to my recent dance mix, which i am sure you can reassemble on your own and then practice at home
u gonna feel mad sexy in no time

i hardly ever (never) feel beautiful (only special beautiful people are allowed to be beautiful) but sexy is easy because anyone can be sexy

this customer is a jerk (La Lechera), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:28 (twelve years ago)

some beautiful people are really unappealingly awkward or have weird pheromones or something

thanks LL!

Influential Acid Jazz Pioneer (crüt), Monday, 21 January 2013 21:31 (twelve years ago)

No, and other than to someone I specifically want to have sex with shortly, I don't want to be, either.

I do think I'm generally attractively, sometimes hot, and occasionally fine, however.

carl agatha, Monday, 21 January 2013 21:39 (twelve years ago)

Are you guys using some kind of wafer-thin definition of sexy here? How could smart interesting people not be sexy!?

i have a long list of people you could ask that very question to

maura, Monday, 21 January 2013 21:39 (twelve years ago)

tbf I have met some people who are smart, interesting, and incredibly unsexy

mh, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 16:50 (twelve years ago)

Delightful xp. My brief (and admittedly crazy and apparently completely unethical) Ukranian roommate used to get tarted up like a teenaged prostitute to meet her boyfriend at the movies, though, which is kinda what the word "sexy" says to me.
