This is really a post to determine how self-conscious you are about your looks. I wear thick glasses (wretched eyesight, you know), have a big nose (thanks, granny), and have a lot of occasionally unruly hair (thanks to both sides of my parents’ families). OK, OK, ladies, the line forms to the right 😉 I make jokes about the above all the time. I, mean, how can I deny it? I have quite a bit of self-esteem (or whatever the hell that’s called these days), so jokes about my person don’t bother me in the least. When I was in high school, I took everything to heart (normal behavior for most teens, I suppose). How about you? Can you laugh at yourselves? Or do you get a complex? ---

I have big flat feet. I mean no arch wahtsoever–look at my footprints leading away from the pool, and you’ll see the wet mark of the entire bottom of my foot. Unfortunately, my s/o is just about equally flat footed…our children could be the next step in evolution toward amphibious life. Feet?

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Trumpy303: > **…have a big nose (thanks, granny), and have a lot of occasionally unruly hair (thanks to both sides of my parents’ families). OK, OK, ladies, the line forms to the right 😉** Well trumpy, I don’t know about anyone else but you just described the kind of guy I go for. Add tall to that description and I’m yours. That is, if you don’t mind a husband and a cat included in the package. 😉 I come from a family that love to joke around so any little flaw would be joked about. As a child I was extremely sensitive about everything. A dirty look could make me cry for hours. Over the years I’ve learned to lighten up and just laugh about it all. ---

I have big ears and I spent many an hour resting with my hands on my ears when I was a kid hoping to make them smaller… and… Im short. When I was younger all my friends were tall and I spent forever hanging off the monkey bars trying to stretch myself.

I have calves that would put lady wrestlers to shame. Can’t find boots to fit them either and finding ski boots is a joke. Oh well I didn’t want to get in that chair lift anyway! * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---
