    Are you the kind of woman that always looks at your reflection???
    Do you always look at yourself in the mirror??? Or when you walk past a window, do you try to catch your reflection??? If so, why?

    No, I only look in the mirrior when I'm doing things that require me to look in the mirrior, such as brushing teeth, hair, blowing drying hair, make up.

    Hell no, I look in the mirror once a day when I'm doing my hair... other than that, I never look, mostly because I don't care how I look. I feel fine the way I am, so I don't feel the need to look pretty for anyone else.

    Not always, I mean if I'm in the bathroom I'll try to smooth my hair down because it will invariably be a poofball, but other than that I really only look in the morning when I brush my teeth, at night before I go to bed, and before I go out when I do my hair and makeup.

    Depends a lot on my mood. Usually, no. If I suprise myself by looking stunningly gorgeous to myself (not a common occurance, but hey, it happens), I'll sometimes get distracted looking at myself. yes, I'm that vain.

    when I got my nipples pierced, I would stare at them almost every chance I got. Peek down my shirt, or lift it in the mirror after using the washroom and stare for a few seconds.. yeah, it was strange. Now I think they're nifty, but I don't have to check them out constantly.

    I had a friend who would constantly look in the mirror... she was actually very vain now that i think about it. she was beautiful, and was paranoid about bathing and shaving everything and scrubbing and having perfect skin (which she did) and would always stare at herself in windows and stuff while walking down the street. I don't know if she liked what she saw or not...

    for as long as i can remember i've usually purposely avoided looking in the mirror because when i do i don't like what i see. i had a huge problem with that in highschool. i would wash my hands in the sink without looking up at all. now, i don't feel so ugly, but i still avoid it most of the time...

    I'll sometimes get up and around in the morning, take off to work, and realize I didn't look in the mirror once. (I have straight long hair parted in the middle, so I don't need a mirror for any styling, it always falls right into place)

    Not constantly. Sometimes I like to look at myself in the mirror, but not all the time.

    I look quite a bit, but not as much as I once did. When I was a young child, my mother said I spent hours sitting in front of a mirror, just gazing at my reflection, touching the mirror. Funny, I read a book by Elizabeth Noble about twins that said that sometimes a child who lost a twin sibling, especially an identical sibling, in utero is prone to look at themselves in the mirror quite a bit. It makes me wonder, as I always longed for a twin, and always told my mother that I wished I had one. Hmm.

    I myself gave birth to twins nearly two years ago, although mine were fraternal, both a boy and a girl.

    But anyway, I don't look in the mirror nearly as much as I once did. I'm too busy to notice much of the time. ;)

    Peace.

    Sometimes I like to look and try and figure out which of my (many) nationalities comes through in which feature. My mom said my lower half, from the hips down, is very Portuguese (my grandpa is full blooded Portuguese, first generation American, so my mom is 1/2, making me 1/4), and I've been told that if I visited France, Russia, or Germany, my facial features would blend right in...So sometimes it's just interesting to pinpoint where I get my nose, eyes, or ears from, but I don't just gawk at myself for hours.

    I like to look at myself in the mirror and catch my reflection. I like to look at myself, what can I say? I don't stand there and fix myself to make myself look better, I just look.

    I look at myself in the mirror often. My bf always jokes & says I'm in love with myself, which is def not true. Especially if I'm having an egotistical day-it makes it the much better.

    heh my mom said the same thing about me she said I was the most vain kid in the world and would flip the car mirror down to look at myself while she was driving which is funny because it's so different from how I am now.
