Alright, I could start this thread with philosophical and psychological arguments about self-perception and facades, but I think the poll speaks for itself.
Actually, if you have any philosophical/psychological interpretations of the options/votes, feel free to give them.

NOTE: If you don't have a fine suit/dress, imagine you have one.

When I smell good.

20 years ago.

Note that by looking/feeling best naked, it doesn't imply that you're a nudist or that you have a habit of going out or partying naked. It simply means that when you look in the mirror or what not when you lack clothes, you look/feel best.

When i am sleeping.

I don't own a suit and do not make a good naked person.

It's hypothetical. Imagine you have a good suit.

I have a great body, but am a paragon of style when it comes to clothing, too.

I took one of the mixed options to reflect that fact.

Have to go with the suit on both. I have a really awesome suit, and I really look and feel my best wearing it. My suit makes me look professional, refined, intelligent, and business-like.

I have a pimp-ass suit. I get hideous amounts of respect for it, even from people I just meet randomly in the street. And I feel my best when people around me respect me.

Naked.

Try to imagine this (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/starfire1X/untitled.png) in a suit.... :p

Or a good body...

That's so cute! But I was expecting quite a different picture...

I take care of myself, but over the years I've learned how to wear a suit and I believe I look best (and I know I feel best) while in one of my suits.

I like being naked, but the main problem is the lack of pockets.

A cute cat imagined as a cute cat in a suit....okay. The worst part is the smell. The running second is the other smell....

I won't ask.

Truth. That's why some of us have collars. :)

That's what women are for, my friend. Oh, and I never feel my best. I have an inferiority complex or three.

Or a good body...

Lol. No, you can't imagine that for the hypothetical.

definately not naked. neither look, nor certainly feel (hate being exposed and open to.... others... and it just feels wrong :-S)

I feel breats all the time **fondles**

**adjusts hearing aid**

I feel best when I'm wearing something good, not that I've fallen for the consumerist brainwashing (or any of the nonsense naturalists go on about), it's just that when you're wearing clothes you can choose and control exactly how you look. When you're naked you only have what you've been given, which in my case is a body that is plump, hairy and pale (and experience has taught me that you can only pull off two of those three at the most).

During sex ;)

It's all relative. I certainly wouldnt feel best being naked in a snowstorm, or wearing a suit in bed.

Hmmm it depends...I sometimes feel GREAT when I am naked..and sometimes not....If I am feeling sexy and happy then I feel great and if I am cold and tired and muddy and then I don't feel so great.

I am getting REALLY dressed up next week as I am going on the Orient Express and have a wonderful dress that I am wearing...I look great in it and feel FANTASTIC!

So it really does depend on the circumstances...

RIght, I am just off to get naked.....

Woohoo!!;)

sorry

Any other assumptions you'd like to make about my biological status, darling?

oooooh! enjoy! :fluffle:

I think he intended you to imagine a relatively ideal situation.

Any other assumptions you'd like to make about my biological status, darling?
Actually, it applies to either gender. Find a woman with a purse. Even if you are a woman, but mostly in that case if you don't like to carry a purse. Pay attention, geeze.;)
Actually, now I'd like to inquire as to your "biological status" so I know how creepy it is or isn't for you to call me "darling."

i couldn't really answer this cuz i don't feel/look best in either of those states of attire. i really hate suits and they make me fidgety, i feel silly in a dress, and i'm not toned enough to like my figure when i'm naked. i feel and look my best when i'm dressed in clothes i'm comfortable and able to relax in. i thought this thread was going to be about what time of day cuz of the 'when' bit. i'd have answered 'just after waking up' then cuz my belly looks much flatter then. my face doesn't look so good then tho cuz it's all puffy and my top lip looks swollen when i wake up.

It's not creepy in the slightest, actually. That and similar terms of endearment are often used by older people to refer to younger or more naïve ones in countries such as the UK, and since BWO is IIRC several years older than you are, it makes perfect sense.

Unless you stop to think too much about it. :D

I look best in my finest suit/dress and feel best naked.

Naked feels good.

But a suit looks awesome.

Thats my worst problem with nudity too. :-)

Says you.
What? Am I not allowed to stalk you through the forums? You just remember to lie back and say "ahhhh" when I work my way back to MT on II :P

On-topically.
I feel best whenever, and look best clothed. at the moment. As for feeling best, to be more specific, it depends what I'm aiming for. Nude can be pretty damned comfortable, but yet the right clothes can provide a huge burst to confidence - the wrong ones, however, infuriate and depress me.

I feel best drunk... and that usually leads to nakedness. So naked i guess:confused:

Thats my worst problem with nudity too. :-)
Everyone always stares when I go out naked. It's so rude, don't you think? That's the worst problem in my opinion.

Well when I am naked and outside I am somewhere its acceptable or expected to be naked so I don't get stares. At least not for that reason. :D

Making a bit of an assumption with the age, but you're prolly right. And I don't need to think about it too much. I already understand the implications of it. I simply choose to be liberally naive and hope Bodies Without Organs is indeed female.

I look best in my best outfit (I don't really have a very nice dress, but I have a couple of good-looking outfits) but I feel best naked, as long as people aren't giving me rude stares or comments about it.

Depends who I'm with, what the outfit is, how my general mood is, and what's planning on happening...

Everything's a bit too relative with you.;)

I like being naked, but the main problem is the lack of pockets.

if people only have some sort of natural pouch. that would rock.

I look best being worn as a dress by another naked person.

EDIT: It feels fairly good too.

That reminds me of Athena, who killed the Giant Pallas and wore his skin into battle.:D

Hey! We'll have none of those "on-topic" conversations 'round here.

We do! Men have one pocket and women have two.

I hate to disappoint you, but only one of the three qualifies as a pouch, and that's on a woman. Now guess which one. And I already mentioned that, but the woman who read my post didn't quite understand. I suppose I was very ambiguous.
