I guess then maybe what I am thinking is that I am not "other validating". I love the feeling of being desired, but the lack of desire does not make me think any less of myself. So I guess this whole desire thing pumps up me ego, but the lack of it does not push it down?
So am I still "Other validating" in a negative way?

Well, I could probably remember your real name if I thought about it real hard, so I guess we're even .
You can upload it if you want. I think it would be best if you "accidentally" uploaded on a page of family photos for which your wife has the URL. That would get you in the crucible! Seriously, that would be cool if you linked it here, I think I over-scanned my copy with some other stuff. I don't want to have to think about whether I should upload a new picture that makes me look good so I can get validation or one that makes me look bad in order to prove that I am beyond the need for validation.

Yea yea, Chrome whatever. You get all the validation and all I get is lust over the food I was eating at the time. Although, in a totally "non brokeback mountain" way, you are quite the rugged man's man. The idea that you have issues with your perception of your attractiveness seems bizarre to me.
