No, this isn’t a bragging, ego-stroking thread. I’m curious about what people consider to be their good physical features. I’m always hearing people complain that they’d like to be taller, or have thicker eyelashes, or narrower feet… you know what I mean. So, is there anything about you that you wouldn’t want to change? As for me, I’m comfortable being 5’5". I like my natural hair color, especially when I get a little sun and the gold highlights take over. I think I have an interesting nose - very straight. And I’ve been told I have very sexy feet, but he was a foot fetishist, so I don’t think that counts… ---

While I prefer the things about me that people _can’t_ see by just looking, going on purely the physical, I’d have to say my eyes. I think they’re very beautiful blue eyes which, I’ve been told, are very expressive. I used to say my hair… very long, very straight and very thick, a beautiful auburn (helped along a little with color, but not really that far off the natural) I made the mistake of perming it and then had to cut it because the perm came out so badly. My hair is still pretty, I think, but not as beautiful as it used to be. ☹ ---

The thing I like the most about myself is the sick way I think, though I rarely share it. Been censoring myself for too long, I am in dire need of practicing my verbal skills. (yes, I did think about using the word “oral” there, but thought better of it). But since we’re going physical here… I have nice eyes, small hands, I am kinda partial to my tits and I’m hella cute. Had a 20-ish transplant from New jersey tell me yesterday he thought I was 19 or 20, so I guess I like the freckles now too! ---

Hmmm… I have thick hair, that grows quickly, and I like having someone run their hands through it. I have Hazel eyes that change color depending on surrounding colors, or my mood. And I’m 6 feet tall, which was a height I never thought I would grow to, since up till high school I was just a little over 5 feet tall. ---

With me, I’d have to say my eyes. I have what a “friend” of mine calls the most piercing blue eyes she’s ever seen. They’re like Paul Newman/John Travolta blue. ---

Ooooh, thank you for this, **FairyChatMom**. I feel this is a great beginning to my weekend. I like my eyes and, overall, my ability to be changeable (chop off 6 inches of hair without batting an eyelash, changing haircolor at whim, etc.). But, what I’m most proud of–after dealing with the shock of my body going from girl to woman–is that I like all my womanly bits. I love how my jeans hang on my hips and show off the curve of my flesh. And, this was far easier to accept, I love my breasts. Couldn’t even manage to complain about them in the [boob thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65934). They’re really splendid. ---

If you only knew how hard this is… _smiles_ If I have to be positive, I’d say my eyes, which are naturally light blue, my hair, which is thick and wavy (and will be long again, dammit…), and my smile. ---

I’ve always had a naturally flat stomach–nice and hard, and I never do sit-ups. I hula-hoop like a mo-fo, though. Of course, I have a naturally flat chest, too, so it balances out. I used to be hardcore into track and cross country, so despite the fact that I haven’t run over a half mile in about a year, my legs are still really shaped and muscular. ---

Athough I am quite confident in my looks in general - at times I can be vain - my latest fixation of vanity is … My hair, although colored, it has great texture and it is thicker than a mane. Side note: Wayne Gretsky (99) told me I had beautiful hair about 6 months ago when I was in Toronto. ---

I like my hair, which is thick and light brown, with lots of red highlights. My eyes are pretty nice too, also brown, but with flecks of green. My husband likes my breasts, so no complaints there . . . ---

I’m lucky, in that I have a figure that a lot of women would kill for. I’m tall (about 5’9) and thin (I _might_ weigh 110 lbs, not sure) and I don’t have to work at staying that way. I can gain a few pounds here and there and it doesn’t make a big impact. Though if I hear “You’re so skinny–I hate you!” once more, even though they’re joking, I may kill the bitch that says it. ---

hmm… I was thinking, and the only thing I **don’t** like about myself…actually, 5’8", blonde, blue eyes, great legs, flat stomach, climber’s arms, great smile, slim hips…what isn’t there to like? 🙂 I’m not being arrogant, although my guy always accuses me of being “modest”…I’m just really happy ('sides the size of my boobs) with the way I look. 😃 ---

Hmm, lets see. I’m weird looking, I am rapidly losing my stupid uncontrollable dopey hair, which is streaky grey. I am skinny as a rake, and that’s in a bad way. I have bad eyesight, wear glasses, that make my eyes look odd. I am bony with no muscletone. um. Sorry, I have nothing physical about me that I like. Not a bit. ---

I’m 5’7". This is a little on the short side for a man, but I have no desire to be any taller or shorter. I am perfectly content with my height. After years of anguish over my hair loss, I shaved my head four years ago and never looked back. I have a handsome dome, if I do say so myself, and many others male and female tell me so as well. Women I’ve never met often approach and start caressing my scalp. Who could not like that? Since the women have mentioned their mammaries, I’ll bring up my Johnson. It’s average in length but quite noteworthy in girth. Women I’ve been with have told me delightedly that size DOES matter. I’m a long-distance runner. Perhaps for that reason my legs and hinder are relatively buff. Relative, that is, to the rest of my body, which is decidedly un-buff, but we take our consolations where we may. ---

- my hair (even though I am getting a wee bit grey) - thick, reddish-brown and lots of it - my eyes - such odd flecks of color, and I can change pupil size at will I’m working on the rest of me. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-i-really-like-about-me-is/61851.md?page=2)
