Let us suggest a rewrite before an answer.

"Tiny question. Our body is not perfect, but most of us still kind of like it. Don't you like yours?"

Now that I can answer.



Marsha:
You dislike the wording of my question so much you need to edit it?




Arlo:
It serves most of its inhabiting selves for most purposes. One of these selves has tried to get it to mountain bike more, but it resists. It seems to prefer beer and cheese to athletics and yoga, but most selves occupying its gray matter have learned to go with the flow on that. The biker self finds it more than adequate for handling the Harley and making long rides. The football self, however, finds it also lacking in agility and speed. Sadly, it will likely never get any of these selves a date with Salma Hayek (although the funny self believes "if only she got to know 'me'"), but my fiance kinda likes it (or so she tells the self she professes her love to). But we are comfortable realizing that in many contexts it is irrelevant to the self at hand.

But if you are simply asking "Arlo" an not concerned with the vantage other selves in his gray matter would have, he would answer as such.

Yes, I like my body. It works these keys admirably, and allows me to express myself in this forum accordingly. Other than motor-skills and keyboard utility, I don't have much value one way or the other in the body I habit, so long as it stays fed and healthy so I can continue to exist here, I am happy with it.
