I wrote over on the Rosie thread:

Not a problem. I think I'll start a topic where people can describe themselves physically. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but the words a person uses to make themselves visible without a picture can be so much more interesting.
So... I'm Jewish, but I have no idea if I "look Jewish". I'm about 40-50 lbs overweight at 5'8". Dark brown hair (well, white hair, probably, if I didn't color it, but it used to be dark brown) that isn't curly, but isn't straight either. It's got a persistent wave that I've been trying to beat to death since I was a teenager.

Medium nose. Not big, stereotypes to the contrary, and cheekbone shaped cheekbones. Light brown, almost dark gold eyes.

Next.

Tall, very thin, bony, with a small frame. Sharp, angled features, with a pointed nose. Blue eyes with a depth to them that is surprising when compared with the rest of the package.

I am 5'3" and thin and small chested. I have shoulder-length mouse-brown hair. I wear it parted in the middle with the front tucked behind my ears almost every single day. I have fairly large blue-grey-green eyes and somewhat bushy, dark eyebrows. I wear thin, dark grey, wire-frame glasses that are often smeared with baby fingerprints.

My nose is my most promintent facial feature, other than perhaps my eyebrows. It is wide and longish but not huge. I think I would call myself pretty, except my nose makes me not quite what Americans consider beautiful in a woman. Also the fact that I look brainy.

I have a very small mouth with naturally straight teeth. There is a small gap between my two front teeth, but it used to be much wider when I was a child. My top lip is so thin it's almost not there. I have a small cleft in my chin. My face shape, I just found out, is a diamond. I have a high forehead, wide cheekbones, and a narrow chin.

I'm about 5'4", maybe a little taller, and quite thin. My hair is brown, not very dark, but not at all close to blonde either. It falls below my shoulders but it's almost always up in a tight bun. My eyes are also a medium brown, and I generally wear contacts. I wear no makeup. My teeth look nice and straight, though I know that they don't actually line up. When I smile you only see my upper teeth, which is good because when I got my braces off in high school I got white strips but I did my upper teeth more than my lower so there's a color difference (unnoticed by anyone else). I have a few zits, but they tend not to be too big or red so my skin generally looks nice.

I'm 5'7", and shrinking every year. What hair I have is somewhere between jet black and jet white. I don't consider myself overweight, but I am always chided about my little bulge of a belly (by my wife, mostly). Spending a lot of time near the ground has given me a good idea on how a bug views life, and I have been told that, ironically enough, my eyes are beady and insect-like. I used to be called handsome, now I'm just called cute.

I am 5'11" and 19 and a half. I have dark strawberry blond hair with natural highlights that is thick and wavy and cut right at my shoulders. I am truely big-boned; I have very long thick bones. I am a little overweight, but within a healthy range. I have a very stong facial structure, with a heart shaped face. My eyes are blue/green/grey, very cool shades of each(as in cool vs. warm).

5'6.5", unattractive, somewhat mis-shapen, overweight but carry it well, long, very fine brown hair to the small of my back that could use a trim. roundish face and if you look closely you can see the native american. My skin has the faintest of green hues (not kidding!), but otherwise I look caucasian. I look younger than I am. My only attractive feature is I have a perfect nose.

I'm 5'4, mexican, medium light skinned, 125 lbs, curly dark brown hair with semi-blonde highlights, high cheek bones, dark brown eyes, square shaped face. My attached ears seem to be very small, at least in my opinion. At least they are small in a good, petite sort of way.
 
Posted by Sterling (Member # 8096) on :
 
I'm 5'10", I have thinning brown hair (going gray at the temples and beard) and brown eyes, and terrible posture. I either have a full beard or a goatee depending on whether my daughter is allowing me enough time to shave. I wear glasses. Apparently I look like some other people, since I've been "recognized" numerous times by people I'd never met, including in London, where I apparently look like someone moderately well known (Someone looked at me, was startled, smiled, waved, pointed me out to his friend, who also looked startled, and waved... Weird...)

Oh, and apparently my wrists bend in weird ways (I can touch my fingers to my inner arm without stress, but find it difficult to support my weight with my hands facing outward.)

[Big Grin] Burn... I'm just kidding


Alright I'l submit to the stalker thread. :sigh:

I'm 6'1, 220 ibs. Brown hair, very large hands and feet, wide shoulders, heavy build etc. Normal objects appear to be like toys when I hold them, and the checkout people never offer me help with my groceries, or if they do, they always laugh.

edit: My facebook friends can confirm this by looking at me standing next to my *normal* sized friends, who appear to be very small people.

Blahhh....I bet I sound better in words [Razz]

I'm 5'10", 165ish lbs. And though I'm at a pretty healthy weight and I've lost a lot the past couple years, I still look and feel kinda flabby. I suppose I just haven't burned enough fat to trim it all down. (My metabolism is atrocious to boot [Frown] ) In any case, I feel like I don't look good in any clothes because I have broad shoulders and chest, and thick leg muscles....I inherited them from my father, and it makes me a very good sprinter.

I have long hair (for a guy, btw), and it's straight and black. It's all the same length and I like to leave it loose so it goes past my shoulders. Kinda wish it was thicker though.

I'm half Italian, so my skin is a pale yellowy shade, and can get oily pretty quickly. My eyes change colors randomly, from hazel to green. I have a medium-sized nose. Though sometimes I think it's kind of big, I much prefer the nose I have to one that might be oddly shaped [Smile]

Oh, and my mouth: I've been told that I have extremely soft, shiny lips. And my trademark feature, an ever-so-tiny chip in my left-front tooth. I think it's kind of cute, and I love to lick it with my tongue ^_^
 
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
I'm 5'8". I'm not slim but about 25 lbs overweight that has deposited itself mostly on my hips, backside, and chest. I don't like that part, but Matt says I have a delightfully feminine figure.

My hair is light brown with golden and auburn highlights and lowlights. I have an oval face, big blue eyes that usually hidden behind glasses, and full lips that are my favorite feature. My nose is slightly crooked from when I was a kid, and I have freckles that are easily hidden by makeup but come out in the summer.

Am I pretty? Not normally, but I've stopped rooms before when dolled up. I think I have the raw materials that when appropriately adjusted I become very striking, but on regular days the part of me that's pretty is my hair.

I'm 6' and 130 lbs. I'm much more muscular on my stomach, hips, legs, and so forth than in my upper body (which is kind of, well, "soft"), but I'm working on that. I'm naturally dirty blonde, but everyone says that red looks much better on me. I've been dying my hair red for five years, so I wonder how many of these people have just never seen me as a blonde. My hair right now is what I'd describe as "pumpkin pie cinnamon," and it's a little longer than the tops of my shoulders.

I have eyes that are generally blue, though some people think they're more green or grey. I also have scoliosis, giving me a slightly warped rib cage...so at the bottom of my ribs one side is shaped a little differently than the other. But apparently no one ever notices it but me (even when I'm in a swimsuit), so I'm not really self-conscious about it anymore, and most of the time I don't even think about it.

I'm really, really, ridiculously pale, and my underlying skin coloration is yellow/orange (thanks, Prescriptives!), and I have freckles. Instead of tanning, I get more freckles. I have what I like to call a baby face, but my little brother just used to call me fat face when we were little. [Razz] I've got cheeks, in other words. I have nice skin and teeth, supposedly. But when I was my natural haircolor, everyone told me that I looked unhealthily pale and needed a tan, and my skin looked a lot more red. But since I was 16 back then, maybe I just was having teenage skin issues. Who knows?

5' 11". Um, white skin, blue eyes, brown hair. I wear glasses, small square shaped frames. I am maybe 10-20 pounds underweight (depends on the day of the week it is). I have a bit of razor burn/acne leftovers. Short cropped hair because A) I have too (military) and B) I have too (If I let it grow long the oils cause zits to grow on the back of my neck). I am told my redeeming feature is...I'm actually embarrassed to mention it...my butt. I don't think anything of it, I'm just saying what I have been told by a few of my exgf's. Oh, I have also been told I look good in camouflage.

And Just a side bit, Pearce is HOTT. Mike is so lucky.

I'm five foot seven and slender, but not underweight (anymore). I have dead straight mid-brown hair with a little wispy fringe and hazel eyes. My skin is greyer than usual (charming, eh?) and prone to pimples, grumble.

I have large eyes, dark eyebrows and a nose that is a little too big on the end but could otherwise be described as a turned-up kind of nose. I have a square strong jaw and teeth that will be perfect once I get my braces off.

And I cannot raise one eyebrow. [Frown]

I love that movie! The only thing I'll say about my physical appearance is that I have really dark brown hair. People think I dye my hair this color, but no it's natural; even my own dad asked me the other day if I had dyed my hair.
 
Posted by Stray (Member # 4056) on :
 
I'm 5'6" and considerably overweight, but I also have a large frame and people say I don't look like I weigh anywhere near as much as I actually do. I have a heart-shaped face, very pale skin, and brown eyes that tilt up a little at the corners. My hair is many shades of brown, mostly towards the lighter end, straight and fine, down to about the middle of my back, and I have bangs. I'm told I look a bit like a Vulcan, because of the bangs, the shape of my eyebrows, and the INTJ's natural impassivity.
 
Posted by Squish (Member # 9191) on :
 
I'm tall for a Chinese/Vietnamese girl(Yay!) but that still leaves me at 5'5". Average weight (but unusually/surprisingly squishy, thus the SN), straight long black hair, and brown eyes. I look awfully mean when I don't smile and presentable when I do. In casual clothes, I've had someone mistake me for a high school girl (I'm *this* close to 23!!!). I can pull off my real age in work clothes, thankfully. Unusually tiny nose. I've been called hot, cute, sexy, ugly, average, confused, sweet, under-aged and boring (-looking). So I think I've covered most of the bases. Doesn't help much, does it?
 
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
 
I'm somewhere between 5'7" and 5'9", depending on who you ask. I'm Caucasian and rather freckly. I'm sort of short and stocky. I weigh between 150 and 160lbs, but I'm not at all over weight. I'm a swimmer so it's very nearly all muscle. My brother describes me as having the upside down triangle shape swimmers tend to get, I don't really see it much... maybe a little. My forearms and legs are very hairy, almost furry, my legs especially. The rest of me not especially so -- head aside.

I have dark brown hair, about shoulder length, usually back in a pony tail. I wear a beard most of them time, it's scraggly and not well kept. It spawns from my intense dislike of shaving. When it's longer it becomes apparent that the apparently brown stubble in fact is streaked with red. Mostly around the chin. It varies in length from no beard to full beard and back again. I generally shave it one every month and a half. Right now it's a short full beard. My eyes vary in color, they're usually described as hazel, but they literally switch from medium brown to bright green depending on the day. There isn't any pattern to it that I've been able to discern. My face is rather round and boyish. Made to appear less so when the beard is long, but only a little. I wear very large glasses, of the bendable titanium alloy sort. They're rather old and battered, but they still work. They're a bit too big for my face.

My head and body don't go together well. I've always felt during swim season that there is a disconnect between my body -- clearly a swimmer's, and my head -- clearly a cheerful geek's.

I'm half Indian, quarter black and a quarter carribean. I'm at 5'8" right now and weigh about 130 lbs. My body is sorta weird, my legs are medium sized but very thin. However, my upper body is fairly big and I have very wide shoulders. I got really thin wrists, and my skin is a medium brown. In the summer it turns almost black. My hair is really thick, but not very long. It's black, and it is so thick that I can't comb it at all, I have to use a hat to get it in any discernible hair style. I got really long eyelashes, probably from my mom's side of the family. They give my a really childish look because I got huge pupils and those eyelashes. I work out for about 2 hours every day and a lot of my weight is muscle, even though it doesn't look like it when I have a shirt on. I've been told I have a swimmer's body, because of the broad shoulders and thin waist but I have never taken up the sport.
 
Posted by calaban (Member # 2516) on :
 
I am 30ish. If I am not in my usual pretend i'm not in the room slouch I stand about 5'9" I weigh approximately 220, so I definitly could stand to lose some weight. A deal of my weight is in beefy muscular legs shaped by many walked miles and an insatiable need to bounce, kick or participate in some other insidious fidgeting when im sitting. Yes, that guy on the bus or in the meeting that drives you insane is me. So physique is somewhat toned legs supporting cookie dough.

I make no claim to any degree of attractiveness. I have pale oily pimply skin that rarely tans even after being severely burnt. My brown eyes always seem to appear small because they are hidden behind unreasonably thick glasses. I think the small eyes give me a decidedly cold look, despite the many smile lines my face has collected from laughing. I brood sometimes but usually I have a little smirk that makes me look like an idiot. Wavy when short and quite curly when long, my brown hair (with smatterings of errant gray hair :| ) is dark enough to appear black when wet. For some reason people often mistake me for being considerably younger than I am; 5-7 years in the extreme cases. Although I hope they are judging based more on looks than personality I have a sneaky little hunch that is not the case.
 
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
 
I have blue eyes and wheat-coloured hair down to my backside, which is currently more well-upholstered than I'd wish. White streaks at temples, goofy grin, crunched-up toes, and a habit of furrowing my brow. I also press my lips together and jut out my chin firmly unless I make note consciously not to. Big feet. Big, big feet. Average height for a woman (5 foot 5 and a half), generally soft-spoken, rather sedate. Can kick a plate held over my head but can't hear worth a darn. However, spotless ear canals.

That's me. [Smile]

I'm 5 feet, 5 inches... My hair's light brown with a little red... I've got blue eyes that are pretty light colored and get even lighter in the sun... I've played sports my whole life so I've never been really skinny, definitely an athletic build... Sometimes I wear glasses, usually wear contacts... I've got freckles, but not a million... I'm sort of olive colored, I guess that must come from the Czech part of me and I tan pretty well... I've got a bunch of ear piercings... My lips are regular size, not huge but definitely there... And my nose is straight and a little thin... I think that's about it...
 
Posted by ReikoDemosthenes (Member # 6218) on :
 
I'm around 5'9"-10" and 138-140lbs give or take a bit. I have light blonde hair and eyes that shift between dark blue and grey. My hair is longer right now, almost to my shoulders, but it's getting cut soon so as to balance with the bangs, which are shorter. I have piano fingers. My skin is light, but not super-pale anymore. I have a long scar wrapping a third of the way around my left forearm.

5'9"; weight is nunyabizness (but more than I'd like); wavy brown hair (which almost no one on this forum has seen more than a few wisps of); hazel eyes (which really do change color depending on my mood, degree of awakeness, and what I'm wearing). Fairly good skin (although aren't the zits supposed to be completely gone in one's thirties, not just mostly gone? [Razz] ) and lashes that naturally need no mascara. Stereotypically Jewish nose (thanks, Grandma).

I am 5'8" or so. I tend to think I'm pretty proportional to that height, tending a little to the heavier side. Breasts are also proportional to my size - not very small, not huge.

I have dark hair, not black but could be mistaken for under poor lighting. It falls an inch or two below my chin. It's not straight, but not curly either. It's destressingly wavy, not an organised or neat wavy.

I have brown eyes and my nose is slightly "Italian" but tempered by my mother's more British features. I have small hands, with my ring finger being a size 5. I also have small feet, as small as a size 6 1/2, depending on the model.

My skin isn't dark, and actually it's a bit pale, but does have an olive tinge to it that I get from my father.

I'm still fairly young, so I lack many wrinkles or sags. My ears are pierced, and I wear glasses for near-sightedness.

I have a scar on my right ankle, and on my right index knuckle. No tattoos.

C'est moi.

I am 5'4, curvy, and large-breasted. I have olive green eyes and have long medium brown hair with blond highlights (today) cut with long bangs swept over to one side. I usually keep it in a ponytail for work and left down and curled for the weekends.

I have a large toothy smile, which I like to flash often. I have a small nose and creamy pale skin (my favorite feature). I would describe myself attractive most of the time, although I could stand to lose a few pounds to be more so. I know this to be true because I have been thinner and was more attractive 20-25 pounds ago.

I have small hands and wrists. I sometimes wear fake nails which emphasizes these features. My back side is ample (as is my mother's, even though she would be considered a small woman). I have no tattoos to speak of. My feet are average but I think the space between my big toe and second digit is too far apart, this inables me to grasp even small objects between them.

I wear contacts most of the time but wear glasses at night. I do not like the glasses because they make my face much fuller looking.

I am 26 years old but can pass for much younger, at times as young as 18 or 19. Because of my skin type, I may not show my age for a very long time.

I'm 5'7/5'8 and not skinny but my bmi is 'underweight'. I have brunnete medium length hair and bangs which I just got this past summer. Ummm, my eyes are greenish (I call them open to interpretation so I guess they're more hazel), I hate my nose, I like my lips, my skin is ok. I tan and don't burn [Big Grin] . My toes are cool like Valentine's aaannnnddd I guess thats about it...
 
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
 
I'm 6'2", though people who know other people who claim to be 6'2" say I'm much taller. I'm quite skinny. Prior to this summer I weighed 135 lbs. I was told I looked like a vampire multiple times (skinny face, prominent cheekbones, pale, etc). Now I'm 150. Still skinny, but not shockingly so. I'm looking to gain more weight muscle-wise. I have a really good metabolism so I'm not sure I'll ever be in a great deal of danger of getting fat. Also I have this horrible habit to forget to eat for days.

I have dark brown hair which has been called black (but isn't). It's been getting grayer as I get older and more stressed (if you know my age you'll see the irony in that all too true statement). It gets curl when it gets too long. I have a goatee dealio that makes me look quite a bit older than I actually am. 5-7 years are frequently tacked on me. If I shave it I pretty much drop those years when I drop the razor. It's pretty cool really, how I can change what age I appear so easily.

My eyes are ... weird. They've been startingly blue, sickeningly green, slightly yellow, steely gray, and scary red. Yes, my eyes have taken on a red tint.

I've been told countless times that I have eyelashes any girl would kill for. [Dont Know]

I'm somewhat tan. My nose is normal. My lips may be a little big and my eyebrows may be a little bushy. My hands are scarred if you look, my feet a big and kind of hairy (my little sister once called me an overgrown hobbit). My neck is pretty long. It's the feature I get most annoyed with, giraffe that I am. I don't have any piercings of tattoos. Some freckles, not really enough to make an impression. Somehow I have the ability to disappear. I don't sound exactly unnoticeable, do I? If nothing else, I'm kind of tall. But somehow I always manage to scare people by sneaking up on them without meaning to. I walk up and stand behind them an inevitably get the whole "You scared the crap out of me! I didn't see you there!". [Dont Know]

To sum up, in case you didn't feel like reading all that (sorry, I got a bit carried away) - I've been told that I look like Jesus, Napoleon Dynamite, a vampire, a geek, a professor, and a hottie, all in the same day.
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
I'm very very pale, despite living in a tropical country. I tan easily, but not going outside makes that difficult. So, I stick out like a sore thumb with my very very pale pinkness here. I have reddish hair (today - the color may change tomorrow) with white roots that, if I let grow out, would make me look 55. As it is, I look 25, as I was told yesterday. I'm actually much much older than that. [Big Grin] I also have very very large feet which makes buying shoes in this country exceedingly difficult. I have mostly bluish greyish eyes and an upturned nose and small ears.

I'm 16, 5'8", 140 lbs. I have very thick longish blond/brown hair and gray eyes. I'm fairly thin, though not stick-thin like some people are. My nose is kind of round and I really have no idea what shape my face is. Just normal face shape I guess? I have that annoying fat right under my chin-- all women in my mom's family have it. So annoying! My eyelashes are ridiculously long. I assumed all my childhood that I was unattractive, though a lot of people tell me I'm cute. I still don't appear particularly attractive to myself, though I don't really care about that anymore.

I've got black (not dark brown, but true black) curly hair. I'm growing it, and it's lower middle of my back length when straight, but it ringletts up to my shoulder blades.

I have pale skin and more freckles than I should have, due to forgetting sunscreen sometimes.

I have hazel eyes that can look quite green if I wear purple.

I have a snub nose, that means I will never look mature or adult, but I kind of like it.

I have nice lips, nice eyebrows and chubby cheeks.

My hair is dark brown and short. I liked it better dark brown and long.

My blue-grey eyes are hidden behind dirty glasses I always forget to clean.

I'm 5'10"ish and weigh 165, with a compact/average build, allowing me to look either bulky or thin, depending on what I've been eating and how often I've been going to the gym.

Pale because the sun is too bright.

Delicate facial features made less delicate by a nose that's a little too big.

No tattoos yet, and my preferred color for clothes is black.

Nice teeth and a crooked smile that's almost always on my face, because something around me is almost always funny.

I'm 16 y.o, 5'1", and weigh 106 lb. I haven't grown vertically in five years... I like to think of myself as "vertically challenged."
I have light brown hair, which is somewhere between wavy and curly and unmanageably thick.
I have olive skin which I get from my Yemenite side, green eyes which I get from my German side, and a snub nose. Which is the cutest thing ever, in my oh-so-humble opinion.
People tell me I'm cute, but that I could use a few more inches. [Cry] Oh the trials and tribulations of being short!

I'm 6 feet tall, 183 pounds. In the winter I have average white skin, but in the summer I tan so dark people have thought I was hispanic. I have dark brown hair, cut short and spiked in the front. My eyes are green, even though I say they are brown. Although many people would call me attractive, I feel that I am an average looking 23 year old male. I think it is the teeth and hair that throw people off. My smile is white and large and mostly even, and my hair is as thick and nice as can be. My workout routine leaves me bulky but undefined, so unless you actually place your hands on me (which you won't because I hate touching people), I will not appear particularly muscular.

Dr Stranglelove, do you have a picture of you? Because you kind of sound like me

I'm just under 5'11, 16, and still growing at a decent pace. I weigh 130 lbs. I look very long because I have very long arms and legs and I'm skinny. Dark brown, almost black hair that gets curly when it's long, but I keep it short. I'm pretty dark skinned due to my Israeli and Iranian heritage (weird combo, eh?). Greenish grey eyes that switch between the two colors when they feel like it and are almond shapes (sideways almonds). I don't really have cheekbones or a chin so my face is kind of smooth but long and oval shaped. I have really, really tiny ears that even my 10 year old brothers make fun of me for. I play alot of sports and I've been going to the gym for the past few months pretty regularly so I'm moderately cut but not buff at all.

I'm 5'8, large-breasted and a bit overweight. I have thick, wavy, brown hair that goes down a little past my shoulders and is layered. I've been told that people would kill for my hair. I have dark brown eyes that have been called olive-colored multiple times and really nice eyelashes that usually don't need any mascara (but sometimes it's fun anyway). I have pretty bushy eyebrows that I pluck to within an inch of their lives. I have a huge nose and a relatively unremarkable mouth, but I have a beauty spot right next to my mouth on the left side. I have slightly pimply skin that tans well and stays dark almost the entire year. I have long fingers and pretty good nails, which may not seem like much, but you'd be surprised how often people comment on them.

I'll have to do this in metric measures, but I don't think that'll pose major problems when trying to visualize what I might look like. So here goes:

I'm 1.96 metres in height. My exact weight is a mystery to me, but I'm guessing it's somewhere in between 80 and 85 kilo's. So I'm definitely not overweight. I guess wiry might be the best description of my general physique, having no clearly outlined muscles to brag about.
I've got blue eyes that are hiding behind a pair of unstylish glasses. My hair is a darkish hue of blond and curly, and right now it comes down to my jawline, though it has been of greater length in the past.
The only really distinguishing mark on my body would have to be my third nipple; which is rather small and could easily be mistaken for a birthmark.

Late to a thread, as usual.

Tall for a woman, 6'1. I have always towered over everyone, friends, loves, my parents. 23, female. Long, long, long, long, dirty blond hair, usually worn in a braid. Huge blue eyes, pupils often dilated. (Dilated to the point where I've had people on the street ask me if I'm on drugs. I'm not.) Normal nose. Large lower lip. If I'm like my mom though, that won't last forever.

Could lose a few pounds, but I still have muscles from walking a lot, and dancing when I can. I hate shoe shopping, because apparently all women are supposed to have little tiny feet. I do not. Strange fact: I have pointy bumps on the backs of my ears. This was apparently inherited from my Hungarian great great grandmother. So yes, I am indeed an elf, albeit a very tall ungraceful one.

Apparently I can find love now if I am to believe the ad at the bottom of the page.

190ish lbs though in high school I could never break 160, and at 6'4"ish I looked like a bean pole, now I just have a slightly bigger pooch on my tummy then I'd like. Hair is a moderately dark brown, about the same shade as my eyes actually. Its naturally curly but only if its allowed to grow longer then 2 inches, after that its curls quite a bit, folks used to think I was a cute little girl when I was 2-3 years old. I am very VERY slowly losing my hair and have been since I was 19. But I still have enough that it covers my head, but not enough that I don't prefer wearing a hat nowadays. I will genuinely miss my hair and regret not having done more with it when I had alot of it, barbers loved working with my hair.

I personally am in love with my face. Not that I am Narcissistic but I enjoy staring back at my own face. My proportions are really nice IMO, my cheeks are large enough just to be kissable but not puffy by any standard. I often get asked by girls if I pluck my eyebrows, which I do not. My ear lobe connects with my outer jaw so it does not droop. My teeth are all straight and are naturally an attractive white as long as I brush them. My facial hair grows thick from my sideburns all the way to ALMOST the middle of my chin. My upper lip gets little hair so I am tempted to see what my mustache would look like but have not braved it. About half an inch from the middle of my chin is no hair land. I can't get any hair to grow there so its lamb chops for me or nothing at all.

My nose starts where my forehead ends and ends about 2 inches later. Its decently sized, I wouldn't describe it as large, and it isn't pointy. I have a very kind smile, and I typically only smile with my teeth if instructed to do so. My skin is moderately olive definitely not pale and I can probably count the number of pimples I have had in my entire life on 2 hands.

I have a rib cage deformity so one half is raised higher then the other but you really can't tell unless you run your hand across it, and my right foot 2nd to last toe is crooked as is the pinky as a result of it.

There it is. Has there ever been a link your picture thread?

5'11" decently overweight at something like 230 lbs. brown hair currently cut short (finger width on top and a #1 on the sides... just got it cut again yesterday) though I usually let it go for a month or three between cuts because I get distracted so that the day before yesterday I was probably approaching Kramer levels of quasi-frodom. Hazel (aka pond scum) eyes that don't do anything special (I'm terribly jealous of those who do have those cool chameleon eyes). I have a birthmark on my left cheek that looks kinda like a thumbprint, and is odd because it varies between near-invisible, dark brown to kinda an olive green at times. Also have splotchy birthmarks on either elbow that are just straight brown. I've often been likened to a teddy grahm (particularly while in my class-A's in highschool which was always particularly confusing) though I like to think of myself more as pleasantly huggable. finally I don't know how to describe my nose other than to say it's average-ish, but bears the correct family proportions to easily hang teaspoons from it and occasionally race up and down the length of the house with said silverware carefully balanced there [Smile]

I always describe myself as fat, ugly and old.

I'm about 5'6", and maybe 30 pounds overweight - most of which I carry in my belly. I'm approaching middle age, am very fair skinned with brown hair and green eyes. I wear my hair short - I have pretty nice hair as far as wave and body goes - I'm toying with the idea of growing it out a bit, so it's not especially tidy right now.

My features are plain - I'm neither a stunning beauty nor a mutant (although I had a different opinion in my youth). I sometimes feel invisible. You see a dozen people like me every day and never notice any of them (well, not on Maui you wouldn't. I stand out here because of my fair skin.)

I think my least favorite feature is my teeth. I've needed orthodontia for years, but grew up very poor and as an adult, I've always been paying for my girls' work. I considered getting braces last year with my last daughter, but couldn't quite stomach the cost. I don't know if I'll ever do it now.

I have long (though less so since I just cut it on Saturday) curly red hair, am on the short side of average height (about 5'4"), and have extremely fair skin. I'm slender, but by no means skinny... if you want to see what I look like, you can look in the "describe yourself visually" thread, because I just posted some pictures. [Smile]

I have extremely eclectic taste in clothing, and enjoy wearing not only crazy skirts and stuff, but I put my clothes on in a very strange order, as my choir director likes to say. [Razz] I like putting flowers in my hair and such as well.

Short version. 23 year old, short, mildly skinny, male, brunette.

Longer version. 5'5" at 135 pounds. Half caucasian Half asian. I have slightly wavy brown hair that is down past my shoulders in the back and the front length reaches to my mouth. It's a quasi-mullet! When I was in high school, girls use to compare my brown eyes to the Precious Moments dolls or a puppy dog. My nose is rounded but a tad bit wide. I've been told I have full lips for a man. Being half asian leaves me with a serious lack of facial hair, after about three months of not shaving I have a tiny moustache and goatee looking thing. My jawline is defined enough to where you can see the angles but it's not chiseled looking at all. My complexion is a light tan slightly oily or dry depending on the day. I happen to have some pimples break out every once in while around my forehead and nose. Facial Feature description complete!

I use to be skinnier and more toned back when I use to skateboard. After getting a desk job and never doing any real exercise for the past 4 years I've lost most of the toned body but still pretty skinny. I have large hands and wide feet in comparison to my size. My shoulders are straight and about average broadth(is that a word?) My legs are short and stubby and my booty has some flab on it.

I am that blur that just went skipping or flying past you in the hall, with scattered blonde hair streaming out behind me (although it doesn't look quite as scattered now that it's only shoulder length)

I am 5'8" have broad shoulders and hips, but little bust to speak of and fairly ordinary blue eyes. I'm generally solid and substantial, but I have very delicate wrists at the end of too-long arms. (I can almost never find long sleeved shirts that fit unless I buy guys shirts) I'm pale with pink undertones to my skin, rather than olive like most of the population. My favorite feature is my nose, which I got from my grandmother.

[Razz] . Satan. That's a new one. I'll have to add that to the list. I suppose I'm not the type of guy you want to see following you into a dark alley or what not, though it would likely only be because you dropped something and I was returning it.

The Napoleon Dynamite comment and the Jesus comment came about 2 minutes apart from some little kids (who hadn't heard each other). I suppose my hair was a bit unkempt or something. I don't honestly know. [Dont Know]

Ya know, Brinestone, when we met in Park City my first impression of you was (don't tell Jon Boy!) very attractive. Of course, I like the brainy types. But I just thought I'd take this opportunity to compliment you.
