Sexy and I Know It

[Colour Scientist]

Sorry to disappoint those who came to the thread looking to berate someone for thinking that they're really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

Rather, this thread is to ask Escapists what makes them feel more confident than perhaps they usually would be? What gives you that extra boost that makes you strut around like one of the Bee Gees?

For example:
Do you feel best after a strenuous work-out at the gym?
Donning your favourite outfit?
Getting a new hair cut?
Beating someone in a fight?
Scoring that girl/boy you've been admiring for ages?


For me, it has to be buying a new outfit that you feel great in. Today I got a new dress and some precarious high-heels and I can't wait to show them off and strut around the place (if I actually can... walk, that is).

Anecdotes welcome.

The moment I'm on my motorbike. Because I'm the coolest dude in traffic then.

The few times when I have an excuse to wear my suit jacket.

random girls smiling at me

yeah its sad but its mine!

 

[Fanfic_warper]

ehhh.....well while I would NEVER want to look anything like these guys, I think I get what you mean......

What makes me feel more confidents is a nice cold day, somethning in the low 70s to mid 50s makes me feel like I can take on the world....also a good purchase from my local Barnes and Nobles.

Your first reason, OP. Working out always makes me feel good about myself.

I'VE GOT PASSION IN MY PANTS AND I AIN'T AFRAID TO SHOW IT

In reality, a decent mark on a test. I'm pretty academically minded.

Right after I've taken a shower; My hair looks great, my eyebrows are dark and heavy, and my eyes are sharp and intense.

Unfortunately I'm the only one who gets to see it... And I ultimately dry up anyway.

Still, better than nothing.

My Current Games project wherin I ended up being the project lead by doing the work in the space of a night a month before it was announced. Not to sound but arrogant but it still helps my cripplingly low self-esteem.

Stuff like that basically, also the prospect of getting a waistcoat.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Beating someone in a fight, band practice, recording songs, performing songs, talking to my girl... Aye, pretty much everything. I'm brimming with confidence lately.

Same here. If there's one thing I like about my body, it's my physical strength; I particularly enjoy the intense burn during the workout - I'm really not a masochist, but this kind of pain makes me feel alive.

Hats.
Hats and shades.

The more pretentious, the better.

Exactly. It feels like I'm actually improving my body. And the burn...something about it just feels amazing.

I don't always feel awesome but when I do, I walk into bars and drink them dry, then I start a fight with five men and win! Then I make use of a truly staggering number of prostitutes, some of whom I may have once been married to, then I buy drugs, in fact I take a pillow case to the drug dealer and tell him to fill it with drugs.

Massive respect to anyone who gets the reference.

 

[Giest4life]

My slim-fit custom tailored Italian jacket makes me feel sexy beyond care. Other times include when I'm adorned in my full football gear: My number 8 Jersey, sexy red football shorts, knee-high socks, and my Adidas cleats.

 

[esperandote]

Beer, it makes me feel sexy.

 

[BlackSaint09]

When i put on my mp3 and listen to my music... Nothing can beat random asian girls screaming into youre ears in a language you barely understand.
Otherwise just listening to music.

 

[Artemicion]

Dark blue jeans, tight-fitting black shirt, brown leather jacket, mirror aviators.
Boo-yah.

perhaps not sexy, but damn good looking.

Liquid confidence! That inflated self-esteem can be dangerous sometimes though.
