Micah Babe,
There is a differance between being a stout bear, and being a chub or a chubby bear. Clearly from your pix you are a very well endowed (Yuuuum! Yuuuum!), sexy version of the former and show no signs of the latter. Bearishness has a masculine beauty all its own, and drives bearlovers pretty crazy. Being an old polar bear myself, and partial to bear beauty, you look to me like a very cute cub and I would just love playing together with you in my den for a very long time. So......Don't sell yourself short!
Also remember that the real beauty of a man is inside of him. No one in his right mind marries looks, he partners with a beautiful person whose inner goodness and character and attributes make them ultimately attractive and irresistably beautiful. Once someone has seen that and fallen in love with it in a beloved person's truest self, looks really don't matter much at all. In fact, true love blinds lovers from seeing looks, because they are absorbed with the real beauty of the beloved.
It is very fortunate that this is how it really works, because very few are stunning, nor does that last very long for most of those who are. Age, ill health, stress, etc. take their toll on all, and looks quickly fade away. So the relational life is not really built on outward looks, but on inward personal beauty of mind, heart and spirit.
So your real question needs to be:
Do I have inner beauty that radiates out enough in my personality, speech, life and actions for others to see and be touched by?
Forrest Gump would say:
Beauty is as Beauty Does!
Goodness is as Goodness Does!
Kindness is as Kindness Does!
Sweetness is as Sweetness Does!
Love is as Love Does!
If you live a life that does these, it means you have them to whatever degree you are living them and being them.
Think about this and see where you are at in this scheme of things. I'll bet you'll find you're a lot more innerly and outwardly beautiful than you thought!
