What do you like about yourself, physically?
 

It seems that, while women can be quick to compliment another woman's looks, we're twice as quick to trash our own...sometimes in the same breath ("oh, you have great legs! Mine are so gross, though.")

Here's a thread where you compliment yourself. I don't want to hear "I don't like anything," or "well, this is cool, but........" You're all awesome. Tell us why. What do you particularly like, in a physical sense, about yourself?


I'll start-- I absolutely love my eyes. I normally just say they're green, but depending on how the light hits them, they look green, blue, grey, or some combination of the three. There's also a ring of gold around my irises... I definitely have unusual eyes. I also love my eyelashes...don't even need to wear mascara, which is pretty awesome.

Your turn :)

Since I've been cycling and running a lot, I'm loving the legs I'm developing. And my butt. My legs are a lot more shapely and toned, so they look STRONG. My butt has narrowed a little, but pops out a lot more in the back, so I have a bit of a booty. My boyfriend loves that, too.

I also like my sides, my hips, the curve from my waist to my hips, my hands, my feetses (if they didn't hurt so much from running, I'd like them even more), and my neck/shoulders/collarbone area.

The more I work out, the more satisfied I am with my body. I'd love for my skin to be blemish-free, my hair to grow out faster, and to have prettier facial features.. but I don't really think about those things that often anymore. I'm working on what I can work on, and as I see improvement from working out I think about the rest less and less.

Was this inspired by our conversation in chat last night about what we would fix if we could? :lol:

I love my boobs, my ass, and my legs. I got tits and ass that just don't quit. I love a lot about myself, to be honest. I can be pretty vain :p When it comes to my legs, I really love my quads and calves. I love my lips, and how they look cute and pouty. I love love love my feet. I think they are so adorable. I also like my coloring--I like that I have dark hair and pale skin. In fact, I try to stay as pale as possible (again, vanity, as I don't want to get wrinkly).

My eyes. That's it. :)

I have a nice butt. I like my slender wrists and soft hands. I have a fairly full mouth that I think is rather attractive. I have a birthmark on the top of my foot that makes me unique and I love it. I have my grandma's smooth skin and coloring - she's half Cherokee, I don't know if that's where it came from but I have her to thank her for it.

There were a few conversations in chat that got me thinking about this, actually...and then an almost identical conversation at work. Just seems like we're trained, almost, to hate our bodies. I remember reading an article a few years ago (don't remember where, or by whom, though), that made the point that women will be so critical of themselves, it's ridiculous-- you'd never, ever talk to a friend of yours the way you talk to yourself in the mirror.


Something else I like -- my neck, and the curve of my collarbone. Especially since I've lost weight... it just looks so...I don't know...feminine. I have a new appreciation for v-neck shirts, now :)

I like my eyes, eyebrows and lips.

RJ, how could you not put your lips?!?! They are luscious!

My lips bring attention to my mouth (obviously) and I have bad teeth. Therefore, I'm not impressed with my lips. But, thanks.

No, no, no. None of that! :p

B-b-b-but! I was just answering her question!

Your teeth are fine, and besides with those lips, no one is looking at your teeth darlin'.

I love being tall...the rest I've learned to live with.

I'm 44 years old and truly love my body for the first time in my life. I've always had these great legs that I inherited from my mom and my face has certain qualities that people have always called pretty - even though I could only see it sometimes. And I've always thought I have elegant hands. But I never liked my butt, boobs, or feet.

Now I pretty much love everything about my looks or, rather, I feel extremely comfortable inside my own skin now. I think that has a lot to do with what you see when you look in the mirror.

I am absolutely in love with my hair and eyes. I don't really fuss with my hair much, but I don't really need to.

I love my eyes. And that my wrists are relatively skinny. I love the shape of my feet and the high arches, though the toes are a little hilariously misshapen. They're a testament to my uncoordination, which is fine with me. I like my hair sometimes...

I like my mouth and I like my breasts. But that's it. I'm a very short person living in a tall person's world. :)

I am too, but I really don't mind my height. My sister is quite tall and while I look at her (and other taller women's) long, beautiful legs and occasionally feel a pang of jealousy, I certainly don't feel jealous when she despairs about finding pants that aren't floods, a swimsuit that isn't a bikini, or shoes that fit. I also don't feel jealous when she complains about hitting her head on stuff, or not having enough leg room in the car or on an airplane, or towering over her insecure date when she wears heels. Being short has it's disadvantages (thank you to whoever invented stadium seating in theaters!), but if I could change anything about myself physically, my height would probably be near the bottom of the list.

I never thought of all of that! :)

The guys that I work with like to "adjust" the motion monitors that open the doors. I end up having to jump and wave my way through. I also hate having to be the front one with the children in all of the family picture taking. But it is a trivial grievance, to be sure.

Ooo, fun thread.
I do love my hands. Strong enough to get work done, though graceful, slender, and ladylike. They are big, though, compared with the rest of me - which is something I used to hate. I realize now that it's more of a blessing than a curse.
I like my metabolism. I seem to have figured it out, and am able to eat a lot of what I love (veggies!) while still requiring some physical activity to keep me as trim as I'd like - a good inscentive to stay fit.

My hair and my nails. I like that I can have long nails naturally.

I had a moment the other day that made me think of this thread... I was getting ready for work, and happened to glance up as I was passing by the mirror. I won't get into what I normally see, or what I normally have problems with, since that isn't the point of this thread.

But...for an instant...my hair fell perfectly. Makeup was good. I was wearing a tank and a pair of boyshorts, and they seemed like they were cut exactly for my body. Everything was right, and for once, I didn't see anything I wanted to change. I smiled, and it was like, "whoa...I actually feel pretty!" It was a totally great feeling.

• Facial skin. It's virtually perfect. But the rest on the bod is too fair and transparent. Sort of veiny, unless I tan.
• Feet.
• Eyes, only with make up, to hide my fucked up eyelids.
• Boobs.
• Curves. I definitely have a woman's body.

Oh oh - and my hoochie. Some womenz look like Arby's roast beef. And some get really bad razor burn. I do get it on occasion but I've mastered how to get rid of it. So yah, it's gorgeous, if I say so myself. :o

yup mine as well and that's it

The other list is much longer
 

Symmetry and proportion. Nothing really is unusually large or weird on my body, except for my big round ass, which I like.

Classic face. High eyebrows. High contrast between skin tone and hair. High cheekbones, tiny little nose...yes, babies....i've got it all!

Cute feet. Expressive, elegant hands.

I've been told that I have "beautiful" private parts, too. But I'm sure all men say this, when in the presence of ANY private parts.

Damn hot, in everyway. I do not disappoint.

This thread is wonderful for the narcissistic!

I have good bone structure.
My skin is wonderful. My adolescence was acne free.
Beautiful bluish-grey eyes.
Beautifully shaped eyebrows that take minimal maintenance.
I am tall and I like it. I'm all legs, and it's sweet.
I have awesome calf muscles.
My big crooked nose is my favorite though. It got it from my pops.

I quite like my legs, breasts, hands and wrists, and eyes and eyelashes.

I am short but have thin, shapely legs.
My breasts are small but perky and a nice shape.
My hands are slender and I have long fingers. My wrists are thin, not sure why I like that.
My eyes are a nice shape and quite big, and I have mega-long eyelashes.

I've found over the years that I love my legs and ass.

They kinda always rock.

That and since I'm short, it's all i got really

I like my eyes, which sound very much like CinnamonGirl's. When I cry, they turn a beautiful shade that can only be call turquoise. Too bad the whites are red.

As for the rest of me, I like my hair. I have lots of it, so I have hope it won't be to thin as I age. It's also curly, which I used to hate since straight hair is in style more often than not, but I've learned to embrace it. I also found great products and a good stylist.

Oh, and I finally like my boobs. I have a large B, smallish C, but always wished they were bigger. Not so much now.

Nice thread!

From the ground up:

I have very dainty feet. Size 5. Makes it hard to find shoes, but when I do they're killer cute.

I have a nice ass. I use to lament its size, but it's a very nice, generous heart-shaped bum and it makes many (usually non-white) men turn around and look.

I have a very little waist. Which sets off the bum.

I used to hate my boobs for being so small, but the upside of that is that they're extremely perky.

I like my shoulders. I have a very nice back-shoulder-neck area.

I'm not a big fan of any individual piece of my face, but when you put them all together the effect is sometimes quite nice :)

My Thick THICK hair, which is naturally stick straight.

My proportions - I've definitely got curves, and now that I've gained more muscle tone its really a nice hour sleek glass figure that is tons of fun to rock a sexy dress in.

I love my hair! It is so easy to style, and it doesn't seem to hold a grudge from the years I spent trying different hair colors.

My other list is a lot longer, too
 

I like my eyes a lot. If I wear blue, they are super blue. If I wear green, they are super green. In anything else, they are a smoky blue-gray. I also have naturally long lashes, which help set off the eyes.

I have a cute nose, and lips that will never need collagen.

I have nice hands with good nails, and also have dainty feet, as someone else put it.

Other than that, not much since I've gained weight, but one thing I'll give weight gain is that it's good for the cleavage. :p

everything.

you could like everything about yourselves too.

I like my hair. Won't hold a curl for the life of me, but it's nice and thick.

Definitely needed this thread today, oh my. We TFP ladies need to remember every once in a while that even on a bad day, the things that make us gorgeous are uniquely ours and that nothing- not illness, not other people, and not bad hair days- can ever truly take them away. That said, physical vanity definitely helps sometimes. :P

Three great things that people usually notice about my appearance:
I have a ton of fine, golden-red hair, and it is ridiculously soft.
Stately shoulders, tapered waist.
Sea-blue eyes with tilty tops and long sharp corners.

I have many less-pleasing features, but we're skipping those.

I hope it's not in a jar!

I used to be very proud of my legs until my accident, but I'm working on getting them back into shape.

Without a doubt, I'd have to say my breasts are my most oustanding feature. 36DD, not really drooping (yet) for something that big. Unfortunately they top a disgusting gut....
My nails-being lazy has its rewards.:thumbsup:
My hair-sometimes it's a pain in the ass, but only 4 or so gray hairs on me it's got a natural wave and it's thick. The color is weird ( i get "accused" of dyeing it)-it's brown indoors but shines bright red in th sun.

Being tall is probably what I like the most about myself. I am 5'10".

If you asked my husband he would without a doubt say my ass is the best.

iiiiiiiiiii
