Sentence in "Seinfeld"
What does this sentence means? If you can explain me in English, it'll be better, but if not, tell me in Spanish, please. Thanks.
"Well, nothing. It's no skin off my hide if people like to look."
Seinfeld 2x01. Minute 8:29.
I barely can guess the meaning. I prefer to ask and make sure

Well, I suppose it doesn't matter which is the part of the body lol. Thanks Nick. I'm not sure but I am starting to think that the Australian English is more Brittish than the American, am I right? lol

Funny, I know the expression as "no skin off my back," not nose or hide. Maybe it varies according to country.

"no skin off my nose" doesn't mean anything literally in English, maybe it did a long time ago, but not in modern times.
People simply know what it means in context.

You might use it like this: "You can do whatever you want, it is no skin off my nose"
I think it is meant to mean "Your actions will not affect me, so I do not care what you do"

Thanks. Your comment is well enough to understand the meaning and learn another idiom, but, could you translate that idiom exactly in Spanish because I think may be it will have a meaning by itself. Thanks again ;)
