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.

    Hours a day?? Seriously??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭hansfrei


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30,731 ✭✭✭✭princess-lala


    I'm in front of a mirror with work all day and I very rarely see myself! Fcuk

    Well, limited sentience.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 42 Royal.Baby


    To be honest the only reason i talk to people is so i can get a glimpse of my reflection in there eyes.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    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

    Well can be the difference between 'omg you look like you should be in One Direction' and 'omg did you even have a shower this morning?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 490 ✭✭peewee_44

    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.

    That would be tragic alright.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭April O Neill


    Most of the time, I don't look at my reflection before leaving the house. :o

    Check out my rear in windows a lot though. Dat ass. :cool:




    :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭April O Neill

    Two words for you: mirrored ceiling. :cool:

    Fuk all since I stopped getting acne.. A couple of minutes tops if ya add in brushing my teeth and the odd 3 second glance to see if my hair is looking normal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭wilkie2006


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    That would be tragic alright.

    Which one of the two? ;)

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    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.

    Looking in the mirror from different angles and positions.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,833 ✭✭✭Vinz Mesrine


    Over an entire day? 2-3 minutes if even that much. When im brushing my teeth and when washing my hands after going to the toilet and thats enough for me.
