Everybody sees it but him...

This is really cutlerfan's idea, not mine: Let's say some dude goes through the growth process with all that goes with it. However, there's one catch--he has no idea that he's changed, but everyone else can't get over it! He's bigger, stronger, hornier, and whatever else but he can't tell that he's different. Everyone else has different reactions though. Or perhaps just one person sees that guy and others changing but only the witness to the changes knows the guys weren't always super-studs.

Reminds me a little of the movie Shallow Hal. Nice idea.

A good idea indeed Yach, it kinda seems like the reverse of the reality changing growth I mentioned on a different thread. Not implying anything of course, it's merely an observation.

Niiiiice. There's gotta be a way for him to figure it out, though. Maybe it only shows up for him in reflections or photos, OR only certain types of reflections or photos. Say, he can only see himself in Polaroids and reflections in glass windows (but not, say, mirrors).

Another unrelated idea: he has to do something (good deeds, actually work out, etc) for him to be able to see the changes (and to take advantage of the strength that comes with it).

Personally, that's a nightmare scenario for me, but it could make a good story! :P
