May that day never come! I'd also be devastated if the lovely chest hairs went! Thankfully, Al doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would shave/wax his chest.

Another picture dump. Sorry I can't remember Tuesday's theme. :ph34r:

There's such an irony in the Pentiums video that a computer geek (Al) struts around with the sexy ladies. I think some of the humour is simply Al being that character. Yet, I don't think he realizes just how good he looks! Possibly, one of the most attractive things about Al is that I don't think he knows!

His humility is one of my favorite things about him, too!
I remember reading that a persons self image is formed really early in life and it pretty much stays with you. He was bullied in his youth and I imagine that it formed the way he sees himself. His parents seemed to be there for him so he has a good amount of self confidence, but i wonder if that could have helped his self image?
I've seen clips of him in the 90's apologizing for his "bad hair life" and he was painfully sincere. But, the truth is, I really like how he acts like it doesn't matter. That's a message I take to heart!!!!!!!!!! :inlove:

I'm under impression that after he changed his style and got himself a hot wife, he's getting increasingly self-confident and aware of his good looks :D . I mean, he wouldn't post so many selfies if he thought he's ugly, would he? :lol:

Clips of interviews apologizing for his bad hair life??

What he did when his hair was "bad", or the bad life of his hair?

You mean he used to not like his appearance? :oo

It's a subtle remark, but I believe completely sincere. I think that in the 1990's he was outgrowing his "classic" look and didn't know what to do.
I'll look later when I get home, but there's another clip where he's obviously feeling awkward.
Poor sweetie.
I wonder who suggested he lose the glasses and let his hair grow. I love his eyes so it's a good thing!!!

I think that you make a good point about his increased confidence.

AWWW <333

Yes, I did notice that Al seemed to regard himself as totally unattractive before! And to an extent, he still does!

I remember an answer on one of the "Ask Al" questions he gave that was so telling, but so funny at the same time:
"Well, I've always figured that my personality was an effective birth control device."


And this, when talking about his Wrecking Ball polka moment and talking about why he could never have parodied that/done a parody video for that: I can't remember his exact words, but he mentioned pretty much that no one would ever want to see his "less than stellar physique."


Both remarks couldn't be further from the truth of his inner AND outer beauty, but that humility... that gets to me, too. <3

His confidence definitely must've been upheld by his awesome parents, and then got stronger later on. c: As can be seen by his presence on Instagram and other social media.
I also agree that that humble "I am SO not hot" attitude is pretty much among the hottest things about him. *.*


ROFL SO TRUE ABOUT THE IRONY OF THE PENTIUMS. Computer nerd getting ALL the girlies!

And speaking of which: THOSE PICTURES ghmlsdf;j/...!!! <3
