Our own views on how we look may not be reality. Like the anorexic that still tries to lose weight. Not to diminish a mental disorder. Just that the image in the mirror is sometimes what we want to see.
I believe I don't pass well because I reconize my own face, and think everyone else will also. Actually, with the right make up, I look just like my babiest sister. Only about 8" taller.
My goal when going out is not to get a date, although looks from a man would be a compliment. If I have my looks right, no one should notice me. But who am I kidding, as I man, I check out lots of women, just looking, of course. So, would I want to be looked at? Yes, but not paranoid about it.
If I saw myself, and didn't know it was me, I'd follow me around a bit just to watch me more. I'm a pretty good looking woman!
The one thing I'll never know is, are any of us girls being ignored because we pass well, or because, OMG, isthataguyinadress?
Conversely, are any glances or stares because we pass well, or because OMG! etc.
I'd like to have a video of myself walking about, standing, sitting, gestures, to get an idea of how I present myself to the world.
Merry Christmas, Terri
