I have big breasts. They hurt my shoulders and I have a really hard time finding bras. Nobody feel sorry for me.

I have great fingernails. They’re thick and white and grow really fast. I often chop 'em off because they get in my way. Drives my sisters (who have thin little flakey nails that won’t grow) crazy.  
How 'bout you?

I’m thin with long legs and smallish but perky breasts. :^)

I think I look disgusting. Not “Oh I’m so fat” disillusionment but, “Man, I am too thin, yuck, I could stand to gain 5-10 pounds.” My friends don’t see me like that. One time I was in my bikini looking for a towel and they said things like, “Oh! I hate you; you’re so skinny!” “Erin, I wish I looked like you…” blah blah blah. I just shot them a dirty look.

I’m very strong. Really, to look at me, you’d might think I work out, but not that often (I need to get back on the ball and loose about 30 lbs.) and I just don’t have the big bulging muscles. In the gym, I’ve had guys work in with me who were amazed by the fact that I was lifting 20-50 lbs. more than them.

My sister is the same way. She’s skinny as a rail, but she can leg press over 500 lbs. We went to the same gym for a while and I was funny to see the look on some of the guys faces when they saw she was leg pressing more than they were.

I have long (nearly waist-length) brown hair and deep blue eyes. I look like a hippie but that’s fine with me.

I’ve always been complimented on my blue eyes, nice white straight teeth and high cheekbones.

Once, someone said to me, " You have nice ankles." I thought that was so odd.

My 3.25 inch goatee. People come up to me all the time and ask if I use shampoo or conditioner on it.

My most enviable physical assets are my penis (7", thick, uncut, nice and pink) and my hair (changes colour by seasons from dark red to brown with red streaks to very dark brown, thick and lustrous, wavy.)

I’ve gotten compliments on my brown eyes - they are pretty big and dark with light dashes in them. People have told me they make me look smart, deep, caring, warm, etc. Long eyelashes too.

Compliments on my cheekbones too, I guess they are high but they are just cheekbones to me.

The best compliment I ever recieved was about my nose. I always thought it was normal, but one day a friend said, “I get so jealous every time I look at your nose. I have such huge nostrils, but your nose is perfect.” So whenever I feel ugly I think about my nose.

I also have beautifully shaped hands and nails, and perfect feet. I like my neck too.

Lest you think I am too full of myself, my teeth aren’t perfect, my butt is too flat, and I have evil stretch marks on my hips.

When I was a kid it annoyed me when grown women would gush all over me for my “beautiful, thick, long eyelashes.” Later, it was my dark, penetrating eyes. Then I got glasses and no one’s noticed them since.

In college women wanted my silky-soft hair. I told them they were welcome to its maintenence nightmare.

That’s me right there. I’ve had women envy me because of my eyelashes. I get compliments on my eyes in general, too. They are grayish blue, sortof a cross between Newman and Eastwood.

I once had a student write on her instructor evaluation that she thought I had a great smile. That meant a lot to me, because my teeth aren’t really stright. Never had a cavity, though!

I guess I’d have to say my seemingly indestructible (although sorta generic) tall-and-lean build. I’ve spent, at various points in life, WAY too many days and months sitting and doing absolutely nothing, without any meaningful weight gain. Virtually always about 185 on my 6’1" frame.

Of course, the downside is that when even I REALLY try to work out and shape up, I still look about the same. I just feel a little better.

I’ve also got really thick hair - almost every barber I’ve ever had, at some point, has gone “Damn, you’ve got a lot of hair” or the equivalent. I’ve bogged down electric shears. But, I wear it short and it stands straight up, merely adding another inch or so to my height.

QUICK! TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!!! 🙂  
[sup]uh, silver fire, you’re gonna hafta pull yer pants down for this to work[/sup]

I also get compliments on my eyes (blue), and my eyelashes.

My cute ass (it’s just an ass to me.)  
Nice legs (they’re very handy for walking around.)

Well, this is what they tell me, anyway. I’ve learned to accept the compliments.

However, nobody ever says anything nice about my unibrow, my horns, my cloven hooves or my hunchback. I work hard on that hump, dammit!

I guess I am more into functionality than appearance.

Judging by comments from others, my most envied physical asset are my eyes and eyelashes – piercing blue eyes and lashes long enough that they get tangled. I’m not overly thrilled with either, though, for tangled lashes are very annoying (especially when they ice over in winter activities), and very young children often either want to grab my eyeballs (I kid you not), or look at my eyes and start crying.

For me my most enviable physical assets are my calves. Nicely shaped and incredibly reliable (lots of telemarking). However, very few people ever comment on my calves.

Looking through all the posts, it seems that “eyes” are among the most commonly referred to physical asset. That’s sort of comforting. It’s nice to see the window of the soul being so popular. I guess we are not that shallow after all. Certainly for me I tend to notice a person’s eyes and smile.

Has anyone here seen those open shirt pictures of me floating around the net? (I’m serious) 🙂

I’ve also been complimented on my mouth-nice, full, naturally dark lips.

I personally like my feet because they are so small.
