Y'know, your post made me realize something. It's funny how I look back a few years ago when I wasn't in the best shape and I used to walk around without my shirt and think I was lookin' money, but now, despite all of the positive comments on my physique I find that the better my body gets, the more self conscious I am of showing it off. Odd eh? I sound like a chick... somebody shoot me please
i feel the same a lot of the time. Although i've always been self-concious anyway, i never really thought i looked money (such a cool term )

Although theres also the aspect of not trying to look like you're showin' off too much as well, cause you might appear like a tool. I think thats another thing...
You don't want to come across as too arrogant, although given your signatures and such you seem like a realtively assertive person -> Hello, can I slit your throat?
Althogh given you're behind a computer and not in real life, i think it's easier to post and get comments on a forum, than to your face. Cause you don't have to deal with the embarrasment/anxiety or whatever immediatley...

It's the same for me with excercising, i get embarrased if people are watching me (other than playing basketball or sport). That's part of the reason why i don't like to go to gyms, although mainly it's cause the music there wouldn't be too good, for me, to supplemnet my workout
