I wish more people were like you.
Wow! This is hard. I am beginning to think I may have some self image problems.
-
I am pretty of face. (I get compliments from others all the time, so I am not the only one who thinks so.)
-
I am a ‘solution looking for a problem.’ I am always trying to help others with things large and small. I must be okay at it since they keep letting me.
-
I can sing (and do). Not sure I believe that one. People keep asking me to perform, though, so I can’t be that bad, right?
That is no small accomplishment. More people should put thought, care, and effort into raising good people.
Mine:
-
Currently I really like my legs. (This is related to #3)
-
I go out of my way to make people feel at-ease (but not so much that it makes people uncomfortable—there’s such a thing as going overboard!)
-
I’m a good runner. I’m not about to break any records or win any endorsements, but I’ve run 2 races recently that I didn’t train well for and my times were good enough that I know I could do great things if I put more effort into it. My “worst race ever” was the second of 2 Half-marathons that I ran this fall, and I thought I completely imploded. I did, however, finish a good 20 minutes faster than friends of mine who considered themselves running great races. I just need to put more into it.
[ol][li]Sorry if this is TMI, but despite having (and being on medication for) high blood pressure and diabetes, I am still fully functional sexually. This is not something a hypertensive, diabetic 41-year-old can take for granted.[/li][li]I don’t need to be around people all the time. People who do really freak me out.[/li][li]I’ve come up with what, if I may so so myself, is a rather ingenious and relatively low-effort way of time-shifting the NPR shows I dearly love to listen to but don’t enjoy interrupting my weekend for.[/li][/ol]
- Gotta go with two here: my eyes and my smile. Can’t pick just one! But that’s literally it.
- I am open-minded and try to understand other perspectives.
- I have a lot of hobbies and am good at many of them: classical guitar, stained glass, baking, gardening.
(1) Hands.
(Their touch has been variously described as ‘lighter than the wings of a butterfly resting on the silken thigh of a former virgin’s leg’ and ‘softer than a warm breath of wind floating gently past a nymphet’s nipple’.)
(2) Modesty.
(3) I am very active in the local plastic duck racing scene, organising races down the stream at the local village fête.
Name something physical you like about yourself ** I like my smile.
**
Name something you like about your personality. I am in my heart a good man and I truly strive each year to be a better man.
Name something you like about your activities/skills/creativity. I no longer have the memory I had in my youth and I lament the loss of it, but I am still a good problem solver.
-
I’ve worked long and hard for my muscles, and it shows.
-
I’ve got a wit so quick, it’ll give you whiplash.
-
I am a very good painter of miniature figures. I’ve been told that it’s not just the quality, but the speed at which I paint that is impressive.
Cite!
zomg - I am rolling in my cubicle laughing at your clever loophole - and not being able to explain to my bemused but befuddled coworkers.

[li]I like that even though I am fat, I get fat all over in a proportional way and not just in one area.[/li][li]I am getting better at reading other people and being sensitive to how they might be feeling.[/li][li]I am a good hand quilter.[/li][/ol]
So do I. Labels/descriptives seem such a big thing in the world that its hard to be someone who doesn’t notice them or really note; especially on the web. I have a feeling I may end up with my foot in my mouth so many times that Athlete’s Tongue is a real possibility.
Sorry, no can do.
The authors of both reviews are currently ensconced in a sanatorium just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, recuperating from major frissons of delight and severe paroxysms of pleasure.
A request for cites would just bring it all back, and quite possibly delay any recovery for years.
- Eyes - blue/green/gray, and they change depending on mood and/or clothing colors
- Sense of humor. I’m my crowd’s Dorothy Parker, queen of the one-liner!
- I can bore everyone for HOURS with all things Scottish.
- Hair (though going white) and perfect eye site here in my 40s.
- Always happy & energetic, to the extent that a neutral response brings many statements of concern.
- Considered to be a good enough cook that I have been asked to cater friend’s birthday parties, and my wife has been told that if she leaves me HER family still gets me for the holidays.
-
Good hair. And I’m physically healthy.
-
Personality wise? I’m good to work for. Whenever I hire someone, I give clear instructions, take away hindrances, show appreciation, bring hot or cold drinks as needed and I pay promptly.

Skill: I know a lot of practical trivia. Not so much about who won an award for what movie, but I know that soap makes a screw go easily in wood, and how to make a sauce from scratch, and how to get a hornet or snake out of a room, I know my way around govenment red tape, and in fact, how to solve most practical problems.
Yup, that’d be me. Most other “studies of something” have an “-ology” term attached to them, but I couldn’t find any for national anthems. Got together with a friend of mine who studies ancient languages and came up with that. I haven’t seen other anthematologists dissent (though I’m the only one it seems who uses it to the extent I do) so it stays there. Hopefully it’ll eventually make it to Websters.
And thanks for the “majorly cool” shout, I rarely get that in my life. Where were you when I was in high school anyways?
What years were they? Unless this is a clever way to ask me out on a date or to take a paternity test -------- in which case I never heard or Cecil Adams or the SDMB. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
-
There is nothing physically to like about myself. The proof is in I’ve never had a girlfriend.
-
My personality sucks too. The proof is in the fact that I have no friends.
-
Got none of these either. I’m a dumbass college dropout who’s nothing more than a worthless piece of shit. Too bad I don’t have the spine to off myself.
-
I am well proportioned and have something like a swimmer’s body. I am 6’1 and 180 with somewhat broad shoulders. I ballooned up briefly and that wasn’t something I was used to and getting it back down to what I consider normal feels great.
-
I am very resilient and I don’t really care what other people think and never have even as a young child. That causes some problems but it lets me do whatever I want without any extra mental overhead.
3). I can be a good writer even though I don’t always try very hard, especially here. I can write in lots of different styles if I get the inspiration to commit to something. I will try anything at least twice. I am the person you want coming up with the plans if you want any type of true adventure. I will do just about anything that sounds thrilling just to get the experience even if it doesn’t work out that well. So far, I have a 100% success rate with talking my way out of legal and police situations and that is no small feat.
I am 36 though so some of this stuff has to be modified in time.
- My feet have always worked really well.
- I’ve never taken myself too seriously.
- I can capture a time and place in pictures.
