I have a real honker, Hey, I’m mostly Polish. You can’t fight genetics. As I get older my nose kind of fits my face now since I’ve gotten chubby. I hated my nose in high school but it works for the new chubby me. How do you feel about your nose? hate it, love it, or something in between? ---

Actually, it’s something that I overlook. ---

My nose is blobby and English and nothing spectacular. I’m used to it, I guess, though I have occasional fits of envy for those who have high aquiline noses (I think that’s the term–noses with the bump near the top.) ---

I love my little perfect nose! I could be a nose model. The only bad thing is finding glasses that fit. ---

> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > I hated it when I was younger, but I grew into it when I was around thirty. Same here. Mine’s fairly straight and narrow near the top, then ending in a round fleshy ball. Smaller dimensions than Gerard Depardieu’s, but similar proportions. Of course, it’s all in how you wear it. ---

My nose is interesting. It’s not the smallest nose in the world, and it’s been broken seven times, so it’s … interesting… ---

On the exterior is looks fine, but I have a deviated septum that I’ve been living with for the past 2 years. It’s getting really bothersome so say the least. ---

While it’s nothing awful, I do indeed loathe my nose. It’s somewhat big, it’s got a bump, it’s asymmetrical, and it has a small cyst on the left nostril. It’s also very oily, thus creating blackheads constantly. To make matters even worse, I have a very badly deviated septum. When I was doing the consultation to have my wisdom teeth removed, the oral surgeon looked at my x-rays and said it was one of the worst he had ever seen. I often seriously consider getting a nose job. I couldn’t right now because of the whole ‘no money’ thing but maybe someday I will. The only thing that would make me change my mind is if there was a big risk of it ruining my singing voice. ---

I’ve always had a bit of a problem with my nose. It’s pleasantly small, but is one of those ones which has a tip which resembles a tiny pair of buttocks. However, a nasally over-endowed bloke at university had a nose-job, and one of his friends told me that this bloke had wanted a nose like mine! I never got to see if he’d achieved this; the only time I saw him post-op, he looked like he’d had his face stamped on… ---

I had never even thought about my nose til a friend told me several years ago that she wished it was hers. I guess if your nose has never once crossed your mind, you like it. Because otherwise it would join the litany of other things to nitpick and occasionally obsess over. ---

I’ve got a pretty cute nose. There are some noses in my family that are less-than-desirable, but I didn’t get one of those. ---

It’s not cute nor desirable. It’s a Punjabi nose - not a huge honker, but big enough. But that is one of the reasons I got it pierced - I can’t hide it, won’t get surgery, so on the contrary, why not dress it up? But over the years I’ve grown fond of it - it clearly shows my roots perhaps more than any other feature of mine. ---

I rather like my nose. It’s large, but proportional to my other features, and is one of the few features I seem to have inherited from my dad instead of my mom. Yes, I love my mother, and am glad that I mostly look like her, but Dad has a better nose. ---

It’s a nose. Seriously, I’m in the general category of people with nondescript noses that don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them. It’s not huge and I’m glad of that, but otherwise, it’s just the nose that I was born with. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Actually, it’s something that I overlook. Are those your drums? Will you be here all week? 😛 My nose is an okay size but it has a bit of a ski jump at the tip. Not Eddie the Eagle crazy; no one’s getting a view of my nasal passages when I look straight at them or anything. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-your-nose/470376.md?page=2)
