And this is the man who, as a teenager, looked into the mirror and would ask himself, "How will I ever get a girl? Why would any girl fall for that face?" I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of what he's said in at least one interview I read, that he had a real crisis of self-confidence about his looks when he was young. Can you imagine? And now look what's happened to him!

Sadly,he's still not convinced yet that he's gorgeous and sexy.It still comes like a really big surprise to him.Also if someone compliments him,he doesn't know,what to do with it.
That you can never take away from a person. I'm like that myself,nothing will convince me that I might be actually ok looking person.I just don't believe it. Mirror tells me otherwise.

I shall shut down the computer for the night and leave with a few nice TBB caps from my collection.

Tinks · February 27, 2014 9:46 pm

Well since you're all heading off to bed, I'd best go to mine, too!
But I think you've all surpassed yourself today - heart breakingly beautiful pictures
Night all

Honestly. I cannot get enough of this man. Sorry, not sorry!!!

I LOVE this one! I do so love him with the dark Byronic hair. Sigh.

I just got home from work and everyone's going to bed! Damn you time zones!

SusiGo · February 27, 2014 10:10 pm

Poor girl. I am still here. What about a kiss?

tobeornot221b · February 27, 2014 10:22 pm

...or the hint of a smile? (That kiss isn't too convincing, is it?)

SusiGo · February 27, 2014 10:24 pm

Very nice, Tobe. But is this not from this very sad scene?

Zatoichi · February 27, 2014 10:27 pm

Oh, the passionate "look-how-at-ease-I-am"-kiss with Janine! Still looking sexy though..

I like this one:

Yes, it is. But just pretend not to know...

SusiGo · February 27, 2014 10:29 pm

Fine. *gulp* I will try and forget it quickly.

But I find that what-seems-to-be-sincere humility very charming. If it were fake, it wouldn't be charming-- you know, if he were convinced of his attractiveness but still saying things llike, "Who me? You think I'm handsome? Who, me?" all phoney-like, that would not be charming. But there's something about a guy who is drop dead attractive and yet sincerely, honestly isn't convinced of it (and you feel he never will be) that makes me want to pounce him. Yum. The humility is just part of the total package that I admire-- looks, smarts, all-around nice guy, lack of [false] pride and arrogance, talent, on and on the list goes.

Sad scene, beautiful man...
Now I can go to bed and have sweet dreams...

I was just thinking the same thing. I usually check the forum between 4-6PM, and all the Europeans are already saying night-night. Sigh.

He's such a little user, our Sherlock, when he wants to be. When it suits him. OTOH, I think most of us have known men like that in our pasts-- good-looking users. Of course, Sherlock isn't REALLY a user [of both women and drugs]--- he's just written that way on occasion. lolol

I like this one:

He always looks good in black on black.
And in Susi's black and white images, too.
Yum.
