I’ve noticed as of late that I seem to get more attention from guys. I know some of you are probably saying “duh Moby!” but it wasn’t always the case. I mean take my friend Bobby. He is a very attractive & muscular man. I’d kill to have a body like his. When we hang out, I often notice guys turn their heads to look at him as we walk by. He, of course, thinks they are stalking him but that’s a whole nother story. (Don’t go there Sally!) My point is that I’ve always thought of myself as above average in looks but never attractive. A big part of it stems from childhood, blah blah bah. But lately, I seem to be turning heads on my own. I have to admit it’s a nice feeling. I’m not so grand as to think I’m flawless but it is nice to be noticed.
I haven’t really gained that much muscle since last year. I think I’m actually a tad smaller. (I stopped working out for a few months right after the breakup.) I’ve leaned out a little but not that much. What has changed that I’m getting more attention now? I don’t know but I sure likes it.
I’d like to think I have more confidence but I’ve had that. I guess it’s not important as long as it continues. hehehe.
On a side note, I will admit I’ve put on some muscle since the old days. I used to be very skinny. My chest was like paper stretched over bone. Don’t believe me? Here is a pic to prove it! (GOD, I can’t believe I’m reposting this pic)
How’s that for scary? I don’t see myself as that person anymore mind you. But compare that pic to my pics now? Big difference huh? (And I don’t mean just the lack of hair.) Anyay, I’ve come a long way since then. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ripped as I like to eat too much. I’m also of the mindset I enjoy the gym but I don’t live for it. And thats ok w/me. I’m comfortable in my skin. I like who I am inside and out. Not many people can say that honestly.
There you have it. Moby’s shallow narcissistic rant for the day. I don’t know about you but I feel better.
If I’d seen ya walking down the street when I was in SF a few weeks ago I’d have done a doubletake for sure… Discretely of course as my BF was with me 🙂
Been reading your blog for a while nice. Very real and very entertaining.
Moby, it is all about attitude. And cute shirts (when I wear my Boy Scout shirt out to the bar guys paw at me). I used to be uber skinny too- I wear 45 pounds more now than I did my senior year in college.
I feel better. You make a great point about being comfortable in your skin. And you’re damn courageous to post an old picture like that. Your chest exploded with muscle!
You were cute then…you’re hot now. I would definitely do a double take if I passed you on the street!
It’s the eyes!
You have a playful mischief look (then and now).
Moby,
I concur with everyone else. You were a looker “back in the day”, but now I think you’re “hot to trot”!
You’re exuding confidence & comfort, therefore guys are picking up on that and responding in kind. 😉
oh, boo, that’s NOTHING.
i’m not trying to one-up you here, but you’ve inspired me to post a pic of skinny johnny later this week.
terrifying.
oooh I can’t wait!
*and thanks for the encouragement gang!*
Awh sweet, I love old pictures. Every picture tells a good story, and I love yours!
Good weekend!
