Do you still care about your appearance?

[Ashleyxoxo]

What is your age, and do you still care about your appearance?

I care about my appearance. I will always shave and dress nicely before going out. I’m so concerned with my appearance that I’m self-conscious. I have trouble maintaining eye contact and always assume I’m being judged.

[StayTuned]

31, nop, not really anymore. I do what I need to do in order to keep my job and to not alienate myself from friends and family, but I don't pay any attention to specific hairstyles, clothing choices or any specific workout anymore.

Just lost the interest in such time demanding activities. Id rather do something else instead.

[Queen of Hamsters]

33, and yes.

Not excessively, but I take care of my skin and hair, keep clean and proper, and I'll put on make-up on special occasions rather than every single day.

[Sunseeker]

33, of course, most of the time. Sometimes I feel like trash and don't give two fucks what anyone thinks. Most of the time I like to present a certain image.

[Shadowferal]

I still have a mirror at 54yrs of age.

[Santti]

30, and not really. Never have.

Hair is pretty much the only part I pay any attention to. I have long hair and without a ponytail, I look a bit messy.

Other than that, I don't care. I'm of the opinion that if I'm not accepted "as is", then they can make do without me (such a situation have yet to present itself). I don't really judge anyone's appearance, because of that.

[shadowmouse]

Sixty. Yep, go figure, I still date and there are basic expectations for taking care of hygiene and appearance.
@AryuFate By the way, you forgot to answer your own question and didn't post your age.

[Mekkle]

as long as im healthy i dont really care anymore.

[smityx]

No not really anymore. I'm old enough now that such things like fashion, etc... don't even interest me.

[Venziir]

30 (pushing 31), and yes. I care about grooming, staying fit, standing straight and wearing clothes that fit me and make me look how I want to look.

[Acidbaron]

32, Yes. How you present yourself is a matter of self respect. Every 5 weeks at least a hair cut, beard trimmed almost daily cause unless your main occupation is being part of a rock/metal band you can't pull off a decent look and you'll just look homeless. Taking care of your skin will also mean you won't look 60 when you're 40, so that's part of at least a weekly routine.

But hey everyone is free to do whatever, some just don't give a fuck i do. However first impressions do matter to a point but beyond that i don't care, however if you stink and look like you crawled out of garbage truck, especially at work, ESPECIALLY at the beginning of the work day. I'll comment on it.

[Ragnarohk]

26 and No.

I mean. General stuff like hygene obviously yes, I don't look like a hobo.

But when it comes to general appearance I really don't care. I'm still using a pair of shoes (in an almost good condition) that I bought around 7 years ago. I haven't really changed my wardrobe in years. Always get the same haitcut even tho I know some others might fit better.

I do use Happy Socks (flamigos, dogs, bananas, rainbows) because they make me feel good and confident.

I wonder if there's a "Straight eye for the queer guy". I think I might need something of that sort.

When it comes to my job. I don't really need to care much about how I dress. It's either:

A) Free for all as a PhD student in a lab where we can do a lot from home

B) In hospital scrubs as an MD. Comfortable and you don't need to put much thought or effort behind it. Patients have complimented my socks

[Unholyground]

I look good unkempt and even better when I groom. I will go a good month between shaves sometimes.

[Tulune]

Depends on what you mean by care. I keep myself clean and wear clothes that don't have rips or holes. That's the extent of my caring.

[Spectral]

32 and of course I do. Appearance impacts everything from whether my wife remains attracted to me to how I'm viewed professionally. Perhaps even more importantly, it's a matter of personal esteem - choosing to be dumpy when fitness is available just seems absolutely shameful.

[Aurgjelme]

I shower every day, does that count?

[Kraenen]

32, Yes. How you present yourself is a matter of self respect.

What kind of stuff do you do for your skin? I use moisturizer every time I shower, is there something else I should be doing?

[Acidbaron]

Moisturizing is good, i have a cream that is moisturizer and aftershave in one, on top of that i have a face wash that i use under the shower.
Anti age is also something you should be looking at from 30 onwards, some moisturisers have that included others don't. That's it really, if you have a beard balm/oil is also something you want for the skin underneath and beard hairs itself.

On top of that i got an eye roller for dark circles when needed. Quite a lot of information online but i would only use what you really -need-, no point in doing daily scrubs, facemasks and god knows what if you have good skin.

[Tuor]

40 YO, not really, and i don't even shave all days.

[AeneasBK]

When you're good looking, you don't have to; so no. ahuehuehue.

35.
