Where's my ego hiding, you ask? I don't typically make egotistical self-evaluations of my body when I see myself in a picture, so my ego never actually comes into play when I make a casual observance of myself in a mirror.
Yes, that's a picture of me in my mom's backyard showing off my new hand-made bikini to her which I made myself back in August of this year.
If you think I'm "relatively sexy" in that picture, then I thank you for the relative compliment, but if you're asking me if I think I look "relatively sexy" in my pic, then I'd first have to ask you what the definition of "relatively sexy" looks and feels like?

@swirlie eh, i think it's silly to act as if any self evaluation is egotistical, or that any amount of ego is bad. Excessive is certainly bad, but the other extreme is too. Without evaluation how does one know what they do and don't like, what they do and don't wanna change?
That's really cool you made it yourself.
I'd define "relatively sexy" as sexy relative to the average person going by typical beauty standards. Obviously beauty is subjective and everybody has different standards, but society has rough guidelines that the majority of people agree with.

Of course you think it's silly to act as if any self-evaluation is egotistical! That's why our conversation got started in the first place when it came to you self-evaluating your own level of sexy!
When you say that beauty is subjective, that means it is subject to someone else's opinion, not subject to your own opinion of what you see of yourself in the mirror!
When you use your own subjective analysis to define yourself on the subjective sexy meter, that is called being egotistical, not subjective!
