How do you know what you actually look like?

This might seem like an odd question, but I never seem to be able to relate what I see in the mirror to reality.

I wish I could view a photo - or see another person - and know that 'that's about the size I am'.

Does anyone else know what I mean? Would it help if we all posted photos and truthfully said I was size --- here?

I think I'm developing a small crush on you MrsSB, rookie flicks back effete hair, blushes, and coughs in a toffish way into her handkerchief.

Well thats fine for you to say Mrs Claudia Schiffer.... ( off to find more photos to see if I can at least get top match on a female)

Actually I'm 67% Hugh Grant, but 66% Kyra Sedgewick. Thats not so bad, she is kind of attractive in an unattractive offbeat sort of way.

Is it Macaulay Culkin as a grown up ? Surely that should be off because of trade description, as starring in one hit film about 20 years ago shouldn't classify him as a celebrity.

But Hugh Grant is very good looking Rookie...(IMO) in an effeminate sort of way...

I'd rather look like Hugh Grant than Macaulay Culkin

Oh I just did the face recognition thing.

Apparently I look like Hugh Grant .

Which would be fine if I was a man.

Now I feel worse about my looks than ever.

I hate trying on clothes because some lardy shortarse always seems to invade my changing room, whereas I have photographic evidence that I am small but perfectly formed. OK, its from 20 years ago but surely I haven't changed since then?
