RE: Who do you see in the mirror? Ulog 41
As a man i think we should love our body. Ofc there are some things that can't change and we should embrace them like our high for example something that is completely natural and you can't do anything about it especially if you are a man, so the only solution is to love yourself.
Now as far as it concerns others things that we can change naturally like our weight i think every should strive for a healthy body and by that i don't mean what is shown in moves and social media with the extreme muscles and abs for men and ass for women.We should just balance it in order to be healthy, feeling better and be thin.
Honestly after that and if as i said you try to be a better and healthier person each day loving the way you are whatever happens happens. The next part is whether we are likable by others or not and that depends on the person. Some people will like your looks, some no, some will be assholes, other will try to learn more about you and love your personality others don't.
I agree - i don't like it when people embrace themselves when they've given up and choose a lazy lifestyle. I know tht there are things we can't change - so.... we should embrace that.
but when there are ways to be healthy... we SHOULD strive for that - i totaly agree with you!
I was thinking - it would be a lot easier for me to enjoy my reflection more - if i was more focused on being healthy. (trying to now!!!!)
I am so surprised how many men have replied to this so far! more men than women - interesting results :)
my experience says that men are more honest that women and friendships between men last longer that the female one, ofc i will that one more time, it's based on my experience it's not a fact or something absolute.
I think the reason more men reply is because more men apply and follow that logic because in a way they can't do otherwise. Let me give you an example: most women wear tons of make up, fake eyelids, shoes to look taller,fake hair,fake hair and some of them have done plastic surgery in their nose-lips-boobs, so how can they say to you "love yourself for what you are" :P that would be the utmost hypocrisy! :P
interesting! LOL well - you're right about some of that... but, I think that a lot of women would really like to NOT have those conditions applied to them. However, in the office, in the club, in the stores - who are the women that get the attention? The ones that look fake.
so.... it's difficult to compete with them unless you're really confident yourself.
also - for the friendships - i don't know, I can't say. I have long friendships with men and women :)
the majority of men that those women will attract will be of the same mindset. Also the those women tend to have an attitude so even if they gain the attention whee somebody goes and talk to them he will understand :P
Instead those that are their usual self and are kind when somebody goes and talk to them will have more success rate!
Also i should mention that many times me, my friends or even other men that we have no idea who they are may look those women you said above but our reaction will be "ahh another one, where are the real women!" It's like those stupid trends that come from time to time!
Bottom line try to be healthy, embrace what you can't change and be kind towards everyone. I don't know the outcome but it's certain that no man will say some bad for you and you gonna obtain at the very least new friends!
I really love your comments!!!!!!!! I think so many women will love them too :) Thank you for bringing such insight (and from a male perspective too!!!!) to this post! :)
oh and by the way - the women that are in the post - that were telling me to love myself for who i am....
they are not filled with fake ;) they are genuine and beautiful on the inside AND the outside
just wanted you to know that hehehehe
sent me their facebooks or instagram and i can tell you right away :P otherwise i can't have an opinion :P
Hahahahaahaha they are on steemit (better than Facebook or Instagram lolol) and I've seen them so you'll just have to take my word for it! Lolololol
in that case i take your word!
Good thinking!
I know what you're thinking.. most men tend to acquire a toned body with extra bloating muscles and 6 pieces of abs!!!! Some are so confident showing them off and offering other people to touch them..
Yes, loving your body does not require you to go to higher extent of body changes. What is really important is the status of your health and what you are doing about it. One should stop comparing, this is the root of all self doubt and insecuritiea!

and if you think about it the whole whole thing is pretty simple but we make it hard. As far as it concern us we just have (as it is mentioned multiple times) to take care of our body in comparison to our health and embrace the things that we cannot change.
If we wanna take a step further a talk about meeting new people the same mindset of simplicity applies there. If we wanna to someone we should just go and do it politely and at the same time that other person should be polite as well. The outcome can be to find a girldfriend/boyfriend or a friend or just have a nice conversation for a short time.
but we make it hard having attitudes etc etc
that is supposedly the main goal, taking care of our body especially we are not getting any younger.. as they say, you are what you eat.. you become what you eat.. but.. but... it is just to hard to keep the discipline! I know in time if we get used to it, we can achieve it no matter how gard it may be.. and you are right a lot of things that makes it harder to accomplish..
