@orhaqi123 I think you nailed it. I know a guy who was quite insecure about his looks. He started working out, and the results were amazing. He was not sure if he really looked good, but was admiring himself. I reinforced his ego with detailed comments about how great he looked - not just bullshit. He greatly appreciated that, and has told me so a few times.
Many guys who are into fitness and looking good tend to be gay or bi.. probably because females are not as stimulated visually as men are. When something looks good, men notice much more than women do. That is probably why the overwhelming majority of painters are male.
