I am. Although, I might not use the word "Happy." I'm content. Secure. Not bothered at all by my appearance. I don't spend much time preening myself either. By most people's standards, I'm too skinny. According to medical charts, I'm just on the edge of being a little too skinny, but still in the normal zone. I'm 6'2" and about 150 - 155 lbs. But I'm perfectly fine with how I look.

One thing I'm not satisfied with is that I am not as strong as I'd like. I think it would be healthy of me to build up a some muscle to help protect my joints. My knees ache a little in the last couple years. Getting older. But that complaint isn't about my appearance it's more health related.

When I was single, I was much more self-conscious about how I looked. Meeting my wife cured me of that. Her acceptance of me really meant a lot.
