Hi all, I have a practice to look at mirror and make sure i am presentable just before go out. I feel shy and no confident if i am not sure my appearance is ok or not. Also, i feel that if our outlook is presentable, it is kind of respect to others as people do like to see beautiful things. So do you look at mirror just before go out? I do. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks for sharing in advance..

Hmm. I usually check once after I preen myself when dressing. Then that is it. Do not have a mirror near the door. Too leh chey to go back into the room to check. So, once I am done, I will probably not check again. Unless I know for sure that my hair is messy due to some strong gust of wind or something.

No problem at all my friend. We are all here to share. That is the purpose of coming to a social forum like mylot anyways. Sort of defeats the purpose if we do not share when joining a public forum.

Hi AhGong, glad that you share. From my undrstanding, most of the guy are also like that. Once set and gel the head, that's it. Unless have strong wind that "change" that, then only will relook into the mirror. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Howard96h, that's great, you are serious on the outlook for yourself. In other words, you are respecting others as you didn't cause uncomfortably situation to them.

Yes ! I do invariably look myself inthe mirror before going out. This habit has been incorporated in us right from childhood by my parents.y mother always used to tell me to be neat and clean before going out. I also make it a point to wash my face atleast with plain water, if not using soap every time, before going out! It is always better and rather a part of manners and etequettes to make yourself presentable infront of others. Though I know today how I look with the 49 years of age on, I still like to look at the mirror before going out! Oh yea, I think by looking at your face repeatedly I think we tend to fall love with our own face , which definitely is a must to maintain our self esteem! Thanks friend! It was a good topic of discussion and I enjoyed participating in it!

It is funny.... who does not look at the mirror before going out. The reasons for different people to look at the mirror may be different. Like I see in the mirror that I should look upto date. I believe that your looks play important role in showing your personality. My better looks add to my personality. One funny joke...The God has surely toly one line to everyone before sending him or her into this world..."Dear, I have never made more beautiful/ handsome person than you. You are the most beautiful/handsome among all."

Hi Deserve40, I do have friend that didn't care for the outlook. When i asked them, they answer me the inner beauty is much important. He have some point, but we meeting people everyday, thus i mention to him definitely i will make sure the appearance first and inner can be later. Can observe from post you are confident type of people. Thats great. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Hi there adriantys78 I usually do look in the mirror before I go out even though I don't always like what I see! . I like to make sure that my collar isn't half in or half out and that everything is straight!

Hi Humbug25, thanks for sharing. You ensure the collar is at correct condition before you go out. It means that you are care on the outlook too. That's really much better than those totally didn't care at all.

i agree with you in some public place,to go out before .stand at front of the mirrior cleaning yourself,and tidying the clothes,it is a good manner to keep it ,and we should do it ,that stand for some respect for other one ,esp in some commmercial places.such as check the tie if it is right ,and look the clothes weather clean ,see the hair if neatly ,,,,, that the slight things is the important things represent your lofty quality ,we should have a habit to keep the good-habit and self-restraint .then when we stand at the front of the mirrio ,we should pay attention more about the samll details that easily neglected by us ,,
