I have always had problems with self image. I have always felt like the odd man out. It is amazing looking at pictures of myself from college and seeing that I was pretty trim. I always thought I was a blimp. This kind of thinking is why I don’t like to wear shorts in public. Why would I want to subject anyone to my legs.
I wish the favor was returned. I just saw a guy walking around in his front yard with nothing on but a pair of shorts. It was not the most horrible thing I had ever seen but it was nothing to brag about. I wonder what kind of self image produces the shirtless wonders, spandex babes and sagging tattoos that populate our culture. And they flaunt it.
I guess that is just another reason to not go out. At least in a book the visions are limited by my imagination but as someone said, what has been seen cannot be unseen.

I wonder the same thing, but I guess they figure that we can always turn our eyes away, which is exactly what guys like us usually do. That first glance can be a shock to the system, though.
