I have a very big nose that is bulbous on the end and I have always hated it. It’s even worse now that I’m older because years of rosacea have brought out broken capillaries and red patches so I feel like my nose is all anyone can see when they look at me. ---

I’ve got the female version of Bob Hope’s nose. It’s not very big but I was very surprised that one time a neighbor called it cute. ---

I’m Jewish and no one in my family has a big nose. Mine is small. ---

I used to think I had a huge nose, but then I had this little skin-colored mole taken off, and it just fits my face better (in my own mind). I realise that it’s probably just that I don’t stare at it the way I used to with that mole there, but I’ll take it. 🙂 ---

Yes. I don’t trust people with little noses. ---

I’ve always thought my nose was big compared to my mental model of it without looking at it. That said, my face is also big. And my forehead. And just my head–it’s difficult to get a hat that fits. I didn’t add Big to my T nickname for no reason. ---

No, I don’t. My gorgeous sister has a bump in her nose that she thought of getting bobbed but didn’t. We are Jewish, BTW. Both sides. ---

Normal sized nose but my ears are larger than what would be considered normal. Looking at pictures of my grandfathers suggests this is normal for me. ---

Tiny. I can barely wear glasses because my nose has no bridge. I spend all day punching myself in the nose trying to get my glasses where I can actually see through them. Fortunately its only reading glasses and sun glasses so far. If I ever have to wear them full time I may have to resort to superglue. ---

I’d consider my nose to be my worst feature in a parade of below-average features. It’s stubby and vaguely piggish as you can see inside it when looking at me. If I didn’t think it would be putting lipstick on a pig (heh), I’d get it fixed. ☹ ---

I have a Roman nose, no hook or protruding septum though. I thought it was slightly big once, then I realized my face would not look right with anything but. I’ve been told it’s sexy. I don’t understand… Any women care to chime in on this? 🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-big-nose/794021.md?page=1)
