Since you like chicks, right, do you just look at yourself naked in the mirror all the time?

— Chasing Amy ‧ 1997

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker asks someone attracted to women whether they constantly look at their own naked reflection. The question confuses attraction to other people with attraction to oneself. Its crude premise turns sexual orientation into an intrusive joke about vanity, without offering any sound account of desire.
