my buddies are all into working out and looking good to attract mates in the same way i am. honestly what a prospective date looks like is very important to me, if i put effort in i expect the same or more from them. now what you are saying is the same side of the coin in the dissatisfaction of how one looks. as i said i like the way i look and could not honestly say there is anything i would change but i see dissatisfaction in my peers everyday, but the vulnerability i believe is only shrouded from the outside whereas its discussed within the peer group.
