A very well-built man boards the train, takes an iron grip on one of the rails and spends perhaps five minutes examining the muscles in his arm. He flexes his bicep and admires it with no apparent shame. Now he is flexing each one of his fingers and studying the movement of the tendons up his arm for the movement of each one. Yet, while his interest may seem to be slightly scientific, his facial expressions reveal that his own physique impresses him very much.
One of my aunts was once married to a professional body builder. One time they were all stopped at a store front admiring whatever was in the window. The group moved on, but the body builder lingered. Turns out he was admiring his reflection the whole time. Narcissists beware!
