Wife calls me "pogi" everyday (Tagalog for "handsome") Didn't believe her. Meh, she finally scored a white guy, that's her thing, whatever.

Sorted through trail cam pics today; I did not know I looked like this. Not bad for a middle-aged redneck with factory original teeth and hair!

Not here to brag, do not think that, but maybe someone will catch the same revelation I did. I look in the mirror and see twiggy arms and legs. And they are! I think there's no sort of dysmorphia? But this guy ain't bad! Can that be ME?!

Anyway, candid pics of me changed my self view. Maybe try it yourself. You do you, but you're probably finer than you think.

Promised booty: Swiggity swooty, he comin' for that booty!

I wish I could stress hard enough, THIS IS NOT WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR. I see a scrawny little fuck, and I'm fine with that, just how I'm built, never sweated it. These pics cannot be ME. How many other guys?

I know the feeling lol my gf tells me I'm handsome all the time, but I'm in the ex-fat-kid gang, and all I see is my neck isn't quite right, my shoulders are too hunched, my ass is too flat etc.

Every once in a while I'll dress up in a suit, or she'll take a picture of me reading on the couch or something, and for just a minute I'm like "who is that lanky bastard" lol

I'm glad you've seen yourself the way she sees you, at least for a moment. My wife makes me feel the same way 😊 Love yourself, brother, you're a good-looking dude!

Yes, they're 1-2yo. Don't judge. Different culture.
