I AM PERFECT!

Well, not me, but that's kind of what Justin Timberlake said. He was asked recently in an interview what about his body he didn't like and his response was "nothing really, I am proportionate." Now is that considered cocky or confident? If someone is very happy with their physical looks, if you ask them, is it ok for them to answer that they love their looks? My opinion is that if they go around saying it without anyone asking them, that is annoying and arrogant. However, if someone asks you, and you are truly that happy with your looks, I don't see a problem with it. What do you think?

Just be listening every morning this week at 7:40 to win!
