In doing so I discovered the following--
1) Good lighting helps wonders.
2) Sucking in the gut and twisting the body gives you that "come-get-some" stance.
3) I'm only 5% as confident as I look in the picture. These three were the best out of, literally, about 50.
Now, if I lose 15 more lbs, I won't have to suck in the gut as much, if at all. I want to be able to actually take off the shirt and look as good as I think I do here. I think if I think I look good, then others will think so too. It'll be a matter of self-confidence, not actual physical attributes. Yet, I feel like I must have certain physical attributes to look good.
I'm fully aware this is my somewhat shallow opinion. But it's my preference. Guys with guts, and eight-hundred other different attributes that don't alert my inner gay man get girlfriends, wives, and sometimes both, all the time. So I know it isn't a universal that a man must look the way I want to look in order to be successfully paired with The Love Of His Life.
But while I'm waiting to find Her -- I might as well stick to it.
But, in other related news--I've decided that Saturday and Sunday are my allowed days for sweets. I decided that at 1:30 AM Saturday morning when coming home from the Friday D&D game in midtown Manhattan. So much for obsessive ... :-)
And on, on and on, and on and on...

Well I think you look pretty damn good as you are alan! Saving your treats for the weekend is a good idea, just don't binge on them! lol
Keep posting what you eat during the week, as I said, I'm happy to help give you any advice!
You know, there really is no reason to suck in your gut. We'd think you were handsome, gut or no gut.
I sure love to hear that! Thanks so very much.
The intellect/emotional dichotomy rages on and on however. In my head I think that two or three lingering looks I might get in a gym, a store, or the flirtatious ways the gals act with me at work means "You're a handsome man," but in my heart it never translates.
Again, like Mulder on the X-Files, I want to believe. I don't know if my personality would change on the day that I actually owned the opinion that I'm good-looking, but I'm sure I'd be confident enough to approach The New Employee, at least.
For now, I'll just keep saying that I am, as I have done, and I'll just believe your reviews. Whether I really am or not probably won't matter as long as I feel like I am.
Which I think goes for all of us. :-)
Well i have to say american men seem to age much better than aussie men, most of the ones I know are barrels, balding with droopy jaws lol
I thought they aged like Paul Hogan, all leathery and tough-as-hell, so confident in their masculinity that they walk around in speedos (since they were invented down there).
No?
We Americans are a vain bunch. We have Hollywood to thank. Sometimes I think most American men don't care what anyone thinks of them, and other times I think we're as image-conscious as any supermodel.
LOL oh yeah well leathery skin is a real turn on haha. NO Paul might have been as a strapping 30 yr old, pre famous, but his day was filled with working outside so the years were not kind.
