How many hours a day do you spend looking at yourself in the mirror?

    I usually spend an hour in the morning before i shower, i also weigh myself and if needed shave during this period.

    I take frequent toilet breaks during the day to have a have a quick glance, usually no more than 5 minutes at a time.

    During my evening shower i usually spend about a half hour or so, depending on if i am going somewhere or not.

    I used to look at myself in the car mirrors every few seconds out of habit, but i stopped as it is dangerous - now its every minute or so.

    How many hours a day do you look at yourself?

    have done 6 hour stints. Average about 3 a day I'd say! Besides going on computer it's all I do, that and lie in bed.

    As little time as humanly possible. Sometimes it's lunchtime before I see myself in the mirror.

    I like to keep my dinner down as long as possible so I tend to avoid any reflections.

    I'm so vain, I used to put mirrors on my shoes to check my underwear was clean. Subsequently used them to make sure other peoples underwear was clean also.

    Sometimes I look into a mirror and I don't recognise the person staring back.

    It's at that point I realise I am staring through a restaurant window.

    I rarely look in a mirror, so much so that I often forget what I look like.
    Don't use it for showering or washing. Just never bother.I'd say I see myself at most 24 times a year in a mirror.

    Once every few weeks when I have to shave,and every now and then after using the jacks I'll look in the mirror and give myself an auld fella type wink.Wouldn't even add up to an hour every year probably.

    Like a good bit, constantly checking if my hair is right, even when I'm having a lazy day.

    I could certainly rationalize a woman refusing help from someone with mirrors on their shoes:p

    I usually look at myself in the mirror only several minutes in the morning. I am busy on my job. After knock off,I go to sleep before 10 pm because of the tired feet.

    A quick look in the rear view mirror of my car makes me avoid all other mirrors for the day. I choose to believe it adds ten years.

    I have staring competitions with myself in the mirror. Bouts usually last between 2.5 and 11 hours long. Record is 16 hours.

    HOURS???

    Added up during the day, I'd be lucky if it adds up to half an hour, less on the weekend as I don't wear makeup then.

    How many hours a day do you look at yourself?

    I'm going to venture a silly question and ask what are you doing for an hour if you're going to have a shower?

    I'm a man, so about 5 minutes a day whilst brushing my teeth & washing my face. Also about 20 minutes every few days when shaving the head, though.
