Too self conscious
84% Normal

Hmm well, I've had this problem for a while now, ever since I started to like girls actually, which was a long time ago. Whenever I'm near a mirror I cannot help the urge to look at myself to check if theres anything wrong with my hair or anything on my face. I know I'm not even that good looking but my brain just can't seem to stop fixing my hair or something whenever theres a mirror or any kind of reflective surface in the room. It even happens near computers, I turn off the monitor and take a quick look in the reflection then turn it back on. I don't know what my problem is. It usually happens when theres girls in the room or area also. So when they catch me doing it, they think i'm conceited or full of my self or something. Even though I'm not. Like I said before, i'm not the greatest looking guy.
I'm too self conscious I guess, but is this normal??
Do you think it's normal?

Girls, as a rule, don't see beauty the same way as men. Stop checking your face, and check out your wallet.

Are you kidding me? better looking, happier people are much sexier than rich people. If this guy is broke, he'll just feel even worse now.

Your rule does not exist and if it does, it's been broken many, many times.

i have the same problem. When i pass a mirror at a mall store i just have to check either my hair or something. and im not the greatest looking girl either but i guess its just natural. Since we think were not super hot we got to make sure we at least look alright lol. Don't worry you probably look fine either way!

Wow, that rule was maybe 50 years ago, when women didn't care about looks.

No, it's not about money, it's not about looks either, in a sense. Every girl, even those who are looking for good looks are secretly looking for heart. Women hide it very well. Don't worry about how you look and get to know them. It's a life experience, so be used to being around them.

Yeah, if you're worried about attracting girls, it's more about your attitude than anything. Just be happy and confident, good company and a good man.

If you have a great personality then girls won't care about looks. If a relationshop is based on looks and there is no chemistry then it won't last.

You need to know what girls want

I think it is normal and definitly agree with synoposis as well. Some girls are after money but don't worry too much about how you look
