(go figure!) and they all healed really, really weird - some have bumps on top, some are crooked, etc. etc. - nothing that I really waste my energy fretting about however! Its just life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446492 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:20:59 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 446492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I see this thread is back to page one so I am ready - or almost ready to answer.</p> <p>What is the feature you dislike the most or try hardest to hide?<br /> My hip/thigh area. I couldnt' think of what it was until I was trying to find knit pants and it came to me. Some people can gain weight and still have a smooth outline along the hip. I get square and lumpy. Not pretty.</p> <p> What is your best feature?<br /> I have fairly long legs for my height and that gives the appearance that I am taller than I am. I think that is my saving grace in terms of minimizing the hip/upper thigh issue.</p> <p>And what is your most distinctive, and do you like it or not?<br /> I actually don't think I have any one distinctive feature. I seem familiar to a lot of people I don't know and I believe it is because I have brown hair, brown eyes, am average height, average weight, and have no one feature that really stands out. Sometimes this is good and sometimes not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446484 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:12:15 +0000 Aziraphale 446484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hesitant to answer here. A month or so ago, around the time there were a series of discussions about plastic surgery, I wrote a post about 'what feature you would most like to change if you could', and I got the smackdown from Angie. And rightly so. It does no good to focus on your flaws. So I'll answer, but in the spirit of positivity, because all things considered, I have no right to complain. </p> <p>Best and worst? Hard to say. I tend to focus on my belly because I get premenstrual bloat a lot, but really, I should get over myself, because it's pretty flat. My eyes are not as large and round as I'd like them to be, I suppose. If I had a magic wand I'd make 'em bigger. But truth be told, I don't think I have any real problem areas, nor any really exceptional ones. Hair, skin, teeth, nose, boobs, legs, backside, feet -- all the things that women complain about -- they're all good, but not *remarkably* good. </p> <p>I guess that means I don't have a most distinctive feature! I think the whole teeny-tiny, elfin package is probably what's distinctive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446455 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:20:45 +0000 KikiG 446455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst: lack of a waist, plus a muffin, depending on the fit of the bottom. I traded it in years ago for a really cute baby. He was worth it, but I do miss my small waist. </p> <p>Best: Hair. It is really thick. Wearing it longer for the first time since college, I get a lot of compliments on it. Someone here said hairstyle is 75% of appearance. This does seem to be true, all of a sudden. I'm enjoying this!</p> <p>Most distinctive: My eyes are an unusually vivid shade of blue, entirely natural. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446450 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:09:26 +0000 Turkey Vulture 446450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) Worst feature is probably my BAD SKIN...I've got it under more control now than I've ever had it, but it's never entirely clear, and my pores are huge. Oh well...if that's the biggest problem I've got in my life, then I've got it pretty good! Since I can't hide my face (and wouldn't want to), I have to say the feature I try to downplay with my clothing is my breasts. They're big (34F) and if I'm not careful how I dress, they look ridiculous. I like them, but I have to downplay them or it's all anybody sees.</p> <p>2) Best: probably my proportions/shape. I've got the classic hourglass figure, and I feel very lucky in that! I can't wear all the cute clothes out there because some of them just don't look right on an hourglass, but I have plenty of fun with the cuts that fit my figure.</p> <p>3) Most distinctive -- either my height (5'11" in my bare feet) or my huge feet (size 11), both of which I gladly play up by wearing pumps as often as I can (which make me about 6'2" on average) and interesting, unique shoes. I love to make my shoes the focus of my outfit. I figure as long as people are going to notice my big feet anyway, I might as well really give them something to look at! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446280 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:00:30 +0000 Megan 446280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst- my nose. Broke it as a child and it healed rather oddly- it's quite flat across the bridge. I'd like to get a nose job but refuse to take the healing time off yoga. Maybe as an 'end of PhD' present when my stress levels will be lower. </p> <p>Best- my tush. I get compliments from both men and women. It's curvy, toned and looks fab in jeans. Coming 2nd would be my skin- it's smooth, unblemished and very pale. </p> <p>Most distintive- probably my frame/general build. I'm very petite (my boyfriend says I have perfect proportions, just in minature) and always get described as 'the really tiny girl' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446266 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:04:28 +0000 Sveta 446266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fun game!<br /> Worst: it is a tie between my feet (big with crooked toes) and my thighs / rear view.<br /> Best: wide shoulders, small waist and slender upper body. I hated my wide shoulders as a teenager, thought they make me masculine but now I appreciate them as they balance out my lower body.<br /> Most distinctive: I hate to say it but it is my height. I may have big eyes, full lips and high cheekbones - each is distinctive enough - but my height is the first thing people notice. I am still not sure if this is a good or bad thing...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446257 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:45:28 +0000 Diana 446257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>best: my hair (it's super low maintenance, thick, and straight) and my waist (defined and high)</p> <p>worst: probably my upper thighs. </p> <p>most distinctive: my smile. Not sure what it so distinctive about it but everyone always comments on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-446255 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:40:22 +0000 Janet 446255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'll play. </p> <p>Best: My eyes, and my chest and relatively small waist.</p> <p>"Worst": (I've come a long way in thinking of my body in much kinder terms) My legs. Yes, they're long, and that's their saving grace, because they really are not my best feature, with cellulite, lumpy knees, and large thighs. BUT they work, so I cut them some slack. :-)</p> <p>Most distinctive: Suppose that would have to be my eyes, my most often commented-on feature. Next would probably be my hands, as I have long thin fingers and my hands are kind of veiny, but I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445722 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 14:11:01 +0000 Sona 445722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>best: my eyes. I've been told that innocence radiates in them. In egenral I think I'm a giving person and perhaps that shows in my eyes? not sure.</p> <p>most distinctive: I'm consdered 'tall' by Indian standards ( 5'6'') so I was known as the tall<br /> girl who wears big hopp earrings in med school in India. So I'm a 'tall' South Asian girl!</p> <p>worst: muffin top and loose abdominal skin. kind of sad when size 6 and 8 jeans can ride up my hips but only a 10/12 will button around my belly. But ah well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445714 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:53:49 +0000 krishnidoux 445714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Fruitful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445688 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:05:38 +0000 ButterflyLady 445688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, this is hard -</p> <p>Best - my skin. I hated my skin with a passion throughout adolescence, and somehow emerged in my 30s with people telling me how lovely my skin is. It hasn't really changed, but my attitude towards it has. I'm 47 now, and really like my skin.</p> <p>Most distinctive - my posture. I'm only 5ft 3 and a half inches tall, but I have good posture (thanks to ballroom dancing in my youth and 10 years of Pilates more recently) so most people think I'm taller!</p> <p>Worst - thighs, probably, I exercise a lot but they are like footballers thighs *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445680 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:38:15 +0000 Fruitful 445680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good you have journeyed to this point, Krishnidoux, of knowing and nurturing yourself. Your previous insecurity, and suffering (and insecurity itself IS suffering), I'm sure, has deepened your compassion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445677 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:23:57 +0000 krishnidoux 445677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I did it. I was VERY insecure. Very lost. Very sad. Of course I didn't realize it at the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445673 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:21:06 +0000 Fruitful 445673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishnidoux, thanks for sharing your experience. What an intense, and personal thing to go through. You are screwing with my preconceived notions, which is a good thing; of all the people I encounter online, you (sensitive, intelligent, able to step away from everyday life enough to observe it) would probably be the last person I'd imagine to have taken on cosmetic surgery. I don't mean to offend anyone who's chosen it. Rather to say I'm a little more aware of my unconscious assumptions surrounding it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445669 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:11:10 +0000 krishnidoux 445669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst: my thighs. (sigh). I find they are large, muscular, covered with fat, no matter how much pilate and cardio and yoga and self acceptance techniques I try. And then when I don't use them for a while, or before my periods, they expand into mini balloons. The problem is my legs are too short. Simply.</p> <p>Best: Upper body: shoulders, neck, arms, waist. I consider myself extremely lucky. When I was young and blind, I had mammal implants put in because I thought this was the only way to "keep" my then partner. It was the most painful thing in the world, right up there with giving birth, except the pain lasted longer. Then, the bigger breasts created an imbalance which was uncomfortable (not to mention difficult to style!). Well my partner left me anyway and I found myself with these foreign objects I couldn't afford to have taken out (In Canada, they'll take them out for you but will leave two holes in your chest if you don't have the $$$ for reconstruction). Finally 10 yrs later I had enough money to have them removed in a decent way. Now my chest is similar to what it once had been, except slightly smaller - they had to remove scar tissue around the implants. I lost most feeling. I hope this can be a warning to anyone considering this operation if not necessary.</p> <p>Most distinctive: I have to say like Suz, my short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445646 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:40:26 +0000 Kari 445646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most disliked: my recessed chin. Even when I weigh less it's hard to look like I don't have a double chin! But I can also say with certainty that it is MUCH better today than it would have been without braces and headgear - my teeth, overbite, and chin were a total mess when I was 8, so I'm glad that my parents made orthodontia a priority.</p> <p>Most loved feature - my eyes. Eyes tend to be the thing I notice first about most people, and I like the shape and slightly-large size of my own eyes. They are a grayish blue that can look bluer or greener depending on what I'm wearing near my face, and my lashes are somewhat long. I rarely go out without mascara because I love some emphasis on my favorite feature. I'm also careful when I purchase specs to make sure that the frames harmonize with or emphasize my eyes.</p> <p>Most distinctive - my guess is that if someone was trying to describe me to someone else so that they would recognize me physically, they would mention either my short red hair or large bust.<br /> Actually, come to think of it, I can think of one recent example where that happened exactly - my friend described me to another woman she was going to introduce me to as a "redhead with amazing boobs." Made me blush! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature/page/2#post-445644 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:36:29 +0000 Irene 445644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst: Bad blood circulation, cause for cellulite and spider veins at age 23 -been having it since my teens-.<br /> Best: Lean body with curves 'in all the right places'. Even if I'm a bit flabby, most of my friends envy my shape because it's what it's supposed to be 'hot'. i could totally do with two less sizes in the bust department though.<br /> Best feature: Smile aaaall the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445640 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 07:25:16 +0000 Elly 445640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst: Side effects of my illness and/or medication---- I routinely get asked who gave me the black eyes/swelling and my already fine hair has significantly thinned out. I just don't see myself in the mirror. I already look like my dad, geez-- I don't need the additional deformity. </p> <p>Best: I generally like my body, it isn't perfect--- but for someone that is pretty large (a size XL in most clothing, tallish) I am very proportionate. I'm often told that I have a nice smile as well. </p> <p>Most distinctive--- probably my eyes. Most people never notice, but my eyes have a dark charcoal ring around my iris that looks very intense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445635 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 07:10:02 +0000 anne 445635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best - my back<br /> worst - short legs<br /> most distinctive - maybe my glasses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445627 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 06:22:26 +0000 crazyone 445627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>worst: uneven toned skin and too much facial/body hair.<br /> best: my smile and general body shape, I like my neck/arms/shoulders/waist/lower legs a lot, and I don't mind being small-busted and somewhat large of thigh.<br /> most distinctive: don't know, though I don't get taken for other people at all. Maybe my smile? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445607 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 05:21:04 +0000 Fruitful 445607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP what's interesting about this question is how much my answers have changed recently, compared to my earlier adult life!</p> <p>So I'm going to answer what I think I'd have said 15-20 years ago, and then now.</p> <p>Old me:<br /> 1) bum - about 2 sizes bigger than my waist/chest. I always thought it was easier on women with bigger boobs and/or smaller bums, even if their tummies weren't as small as mine.<br /> 2) Abs/waist. Tricky to show this while hiding the bum though :)<br /> 3) Curly wild hair.</p> <p>Current me:<br /> 1) Abdominal fat. After all these years I am used to, even love, my pear shape - a flat tummy was my one vanity - how dare it abscond! (Bodyrocking my way back to it though!). Actually, this is a tie with acne/hyperpigmentation<br /> 2) I would say waist, but now that it's not as defined, I'll say my "swayback" - I've been told I have one and I think it's schmexay :)<br /> 3) Possessing the most extremely pear-shaped figure on the block (iow, my bum) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445595 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 04:34:38 +0000 Steph 445595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My worst feature: my calves. They are very muscular and I think they look masculine (I am happy that they are paired with small ankles, which helps to feminize things).<br /> My best feature: my nose.<br /> My most distinctive feature: again, my calves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445592 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 04:28:43 +0000 lyn* 445592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Best - I don't have bad legs. LOL.<br /> 2. Worst - My back isn't very straight; I didn't feel confident when my boobs developed, so I slouched to hide my boobs (doesn't work, people), and I still sag a lot.<br /> 3. Most distinctive - Hair! I like my little mop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445577 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:54:23 +0000 Sowmya 445577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worst - My skin (acne ridden and marked) and my hair (frizzy and impossible to tame)<br /> Best - My body - a little flat chested, but I'd take that happily </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445573 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:50:21 +0000 cyan45 445573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooo, fun!</p> <p>1. worst = very small bust, acne prone skin, crooked teeth</p> <p>2. best = long legs, small waist (well, in relation to my wide hips/big backside). thank goodness my fiance appreciates it ;)</p> <p>3) distinctive = my laugh/sing-song tone of voice (too many years working with young children, lol)</p> <p>maybe i'll add hair color: whenever i blow dry my hair, ppl always ask if i dyed it lighter (the red undertones of brown tend to come out)...of course, i blow dry so infrequently, whenever i do it s a surprise to everyone ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445570 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:48:43 +0000 nancylee 445570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK...here we go:</p> <p>1) My worst feature is my somewhat nonexistent waist. A lot of my friends would argue that I have a slim waist since I have a slim figure for my age, but I've never had a terribly defined waist, and certainly have less of one now at age 50. It's the feature I always try to hide...hence, my no belt and no tucking policy.</p> <p>2) My best feature is probably my legs, which are slim and toned. I'm a runner and avid yoga practitioner, which has really helped me maintain my figure...not to mention my peace of mind. :)</p> <p>3) My most distinctive feature is probably my big smile (thanks for the nice teeth, Mom!) I also have big eyes and an "animated" face, which many people find amusing/appealing. My students think I'm a complete ham! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445545 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:04:46 +0000 lynne 445545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. worst- mushy middle. This is a fairly new development since I hit middle age.</p> <p>2. best- my smile I got lucky in the genetics here and have good teeth.</p> <p>3. most distinctive- curly red hair The curls are natural, and the color should have been but I guess my mom was too busy worrying about things like fingers, toes and brain cells to pay much attention to hair color when I was incubating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445529 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 01:12:25 +0000 nicoleb 445529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. My hips. I know they aren't large but i feel like they are unproportionate for my body size. And losing weight doesn't take any inches off of them because it just seems to be how wide my hip bones are. -_-</p> <p>2. I enjoy my legs and my eyes ;)</p> <p>3. honestly i'm really not sure...my...eyes again? People either compliment my eyes or they gasp at how tiny my wrists are (i can overlap my pinky and thumb around them). OH also i have a double jointed thumb! That's pretty distinctive right?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-your-worstbestmost-distinctive-feature#post-445513 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 00:41:33 +0000 Heather 445513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1.
