Just curious how all of us who have made it over to the other side see themselves.
When I was married, I used to see myself as looking younger than I was, physically. I was in OK shape, kept my hair cut very short, and wore mostly blue jeans/shorts and t-shirts.
Post divorce I have lost 20 pounds (lost 40 to begin with but regained 20), work out regularly, I have let my hair grow longer and style it more, and wear more stylish clothes, but I still view myself as looking older. than I am.
The irony is that the girl I am seeing is very complimentary of my physique. She compliments me on my toned legs and chest, and gushes about how strong I feel when she touches my shoulders. She said she was initially attracted to me because of my "big" arms and the way I carried myself. I never got compliments like that before from my ex. Instead I was told I was eating the wrong food or not doing the right type of exercise.
