354.0. "WN -lite- Put your best whatever forward" by HEFTY::CHARBONND (in the dark the innocent can't see) Wed Sep 05 1990 13:08

    inspired by a recent discussion
    
    What's your best physical feature ? The one you get compliments
    for ? Eyes ? Ears ? Lips ? Ankles ? (You know who you are ;-) )
    Legs ? Dimples ? What do you spend time and effort highlighting ? 
    This is a -lite- discussion, no 'mind' or 'personality' answers
    please.
    
    Warning - someone here may know you and call you if you tell
    us you have great X's and they're mediocre :-)

354.1No soprano, I!GWYNED::YUKONSECLeave the poor nits in peace!Wed Sep 05 1990 13:124
    My voice.  I have a deep, perhaps even husky, voice.  This of course
    works out quite well, as I am an acter!

354.2CGVAX2::CONNELLReality, an overrated concept.Wed Sep 05 1990 13:216
    Some people have said my eyes. Large and deep brown. I personally think
    it's my left great toe. No reason. The rest of me is pure gut level
    ugly. Also be carful so you don't get set/unseen, people.
    It's my ... Oops, nope, can't mention that in here. ;-)

    Actually, my *very* best feature isn't my voice, it's my 
    
    freckles!
    
    But very few people get to see all of them, and you've got to be 
    pretty darn special to touch one!
    
    Nobody messes with my freckles!
    
    Each one is 1 decagram (except the larger ones, which are 2) of pure,
    unadulturated sex-appeal!

         I personally like my fingers. They're long. They'd

         I've also been complimented on my legs, hair, and
    my butt (I REALLY thinks that needs work, though!).

    complimented me on it.)

    My eyes, they tend to change colour depending on my mood and clothing.  
    It ranges from deep gray, through blue to greeny.
    
    My hands are slender and elegant and my feet are small and well-shaped.
    
    I get most comments about my breasts (nice and not so nice) but
    personally  would prefer someone elses.
    
    Basically I'm good all over but only cetain parts get noticed!

    re .16, Steve, you're right, it's your hair.  There are so many bald
    men in the world, and younger than you, too!  You should feel lucky to
    have so much of it at your age. :-)

354.28figure, eyesBLUMON::GUGELAdrenaline: my drug of choiceThu Sep 06 1990 11:2215
    
    Everyone's always said it's my figure.  I'm petite and thin and
    that's supposed to be good.  I dunno - it's been good for attracting
    my husband and keeping him, I guess.  I don't think it's an advantage
    in business, or in trying to deal seriously with other people.
    
    Sometimes, I get flattering compliments on my eyes (they're blue).
    Usually when I'm wearing bright purple-to-blue or blue-grey clothing
    and when the sun's shining on them.  They look bluer then.
    
    Although I've always *hated* my hair, there's one good thing that's
    coming about - I'm greying much more slowly than the average.  I'm
    over 30, I have only *one* grey hair!  So far, no one's commented,
    though.

    I've got great gams.
    
    Depending on what you intend to do with them, my long shakey hands may
    be cumbersome or strangely attractive.  (: >,)
    
    But no matter what I try to put forward, my nose always enters the room
    first.

    Well Ray, that certainly gives me some interesting ideas. ;*) And I've
    seen those hands, I believe he's correct.

    For me, it's mostly my hair. I get compliments on it all the time. It's
    long and a mix of several shades of blonde and silver gray. I've also
    gotten compliments on my eyes and breasts. Do you realise how many of
    us have mentioned breasts? liesl
354.32BTOVT::THIGPEN_Sridin&#039; the Antelope FreewayThu Sep 06 1990 14:1019
    well, most recently I was told it was my legs
    
    my husband likes by big brown eyes (his are hazel, sometimes tawny,
    sometimes green; our daughter got them too and I like theirs _much_
    better!)
    
    I have been told it's my hands -- long and slender.  'Course, this
    means I also have long skinny feet!
    
    and maybe this should go in Musical Quotes, and it's sort of the
    antithesis of this lite note, but Frank Zappa sez:
    
    	What's the ugliest part of your body?
    	What's the ugliest part of you?
    	Some say your nose, some say your toes
    	But I think it's your mind...

    (when i was a message center, a woman used to call her friend
     up and hope that the friend was out of the office....or
     at least that is what i was told)
    
    my eyes have recieved the most compliments from strangers,
    but only when they are not hidden behind glasses.

    Hmm.  I like my eyes.  They're a strange color or green with orange
    in them.  I try, when I have the time, to accentuate them with
    eye shadow.
    
    My husband, however, likes my chest and my behind.  I personally, wish
    I had a smaller chest, so I hide it as much as possible.  (Unless I
    really want my husbands attention!)
    
    But it's definitely NOT my legs, which have been likened to stuffed
    sausages from time to time.

    I've been told I have a nice back and shoulders.  I've also been 
    complemented on my skin, eyes, and mouth.  I like my ears -- they're 
    smallish and, in my not so humble opinion, perfectly shaped.  I don't 
    like my nose very much but my cat seems to find it fascinating (when 
    she wants to wake me up).

    I always thought Montana was pretty neutral, too, but a couple of

    My legs appear to be the odds on favorite, followed by my eyes.
    
    Unlike someone 'way back at the beginning, who never had women
    comment on her best feature, I've had women as well as men indicate
    that I had very nice legs.  ("No, I'll sit here, so I can look at
    Ann's legs."  "Wait!  Let me out first!  I love watching Ann get out
    of the car.") ... Maybe my best feature is my wonderful, weird friends.

    Having seen you in spandex at the last 'inner visions' party, I
    do agree that you have nice legs :-).

    	Well Lets see... My husband says my breasts, figure, legs  
    	and the softness of my skin.  What a sweetie...:-)   I've had other
    	compliments on my legs and eyes (ocean blue).  I really only like 
    	my hair (sometimes...) and legs though.    

    
    	This is so strange to write, I'm not used to writing what I *like*
    	about myself... :-)
