i dont think youre an exibitionist...but i do know what you mean....in the past 6 months or so, ive lost a considerable amount of weight...i droped from about 195lbs (on a 5'11" frame) down to 170lbs....so now instead of just being bulky im starting to get kinda ripped. and it gives me alot of confidence...ill flex for my roomates as jokes and stuff...but i know what it means when you say it give you confidence.....it just means you have good self image
