1. Same here
Could definitely do with a few trips to the gym, and ideally my hair a touch darker, but apart from that I can't complain.

5. My hair is thinning
I don't obsess over it, and won't spend a dime on remedies, etc, but I wish I had better hair genes.

11. Not really
I never have either. I have moments of contentment, but overall, I've always felt that I looked odd or out of the norm, probably due to how thin I was growing up and how ridiculously thick my glasses were (and still are, when I don't wear my contact lenses).

14. I like my looks - I just wish there were less of them.
I'd like to get back to the way I looked at age 28 or so. SIGH. If I'd give up my junk food and exercise more, I could get closer, I suppose.

I have always felt insecure about my looks.
I am under endowed in the chest area and I have always felt that my behind and legs were too heavy....
I have no control over my hair.

20. yeah, basically
I need to lose a lot of weight, but other than that, yeah. I'm acceptable. I wish my hair would've stopped growing so dark long ago; I can hardly call myself blonde anymore. But no matter. I'll soon be gray!

32. The real question is
whether people of the opposite sex like your looks.

I'm handsome but could stand to lose 10lbs. I'm also trying to grow my hair longer so my hair is in the "intermediate" stage that doesn't look all that good.

39. Most days yeah..
other days...not so much. I've got this head of hair that no styling product has tamed yet so I usually look like I have bedhead. But its red
so that's nice. I've got a belly from having three kids, but the tradeoff is I got big boobs out of the deal. My eyes are always bloodshot with dark circles (allergies) but there's two of em. Most days I'm focusing on the good stuff. Some days all I see is the belly, the wild hair and the bloodshot eyes.
