This is so incredibly TRUE.
I went out last weekend with a girl that's well beyond my league; she's more or less like a Jennifer Lawrence, including the personality as well an IQ over 90 (big bonus, I can't deal with simpletons). I spent a *lot* of time in the morning getting ready as we basically spent the entire day together. I took a long shower, shaved everywhere thoroughly, cut nails neatly, went tanning the days leading up to it, wore some new clothes I recently bought along with an awesome blazer I got from H&M (nicely fitted) and my D&G glasses that I wear only for special occasions. Just before I went to pick her up, I stopped into a starbucks to use the washroom and style my hair; a bit of a messy bed head look, even at NW2/3. After finishing up in the washroom, for the first time in years I thought to myself 'Wow.... I actually look like my old/young self.'
I haven't felt that good about myself in a very, very long time. Date went great, spent most of the time making her laugh. Not ONCE did I think about my hair loss.
