What do you think, or have you been told, is your best physical feature?? ------------------ IP: Logged |

My hair is very soft with great shine and natural colour variations when you look at it closely. Unfortunately the rest of my body got jealous a few years ago and is chasing my hair away at an alarming rate  So I think my girlfriend and I now agree that my eyes are number one. The part that has always gotten the most comments, however, is below the belt IP: Logged |

Well, a lot of my people like my hair... shiny, silky, very soft, and they seem to like its darkness. Others also like the shape of my eyes, my nose (not to big, and not to small! Yay! I like it, too), and the shape of my legs. I dunno about it, but my mom and 'girl friends' (feh, I never use that term) say they're nice and long  ...------------------ IP: Logged |

I've only been complimented by two people. They both said that I have a great smile. I always hated my smile because my teeth are crooked in a very noticable way. I figured it would be my eyes that would get all the attention, but the only thing anyone ever said about them was that they are brown (as if I didn't know.) IP: Logged |

I think which feature gets complimented depends on who's doing the complimenting. For instance, the ladies who have cut my hair have said it was very thick and seemed to enjoy running their fingers through it. Girls in the ballet company here trust me to be strong, to the point where some of them learning how to do lifts for the first time have refused to partner with any guy except me- and I'm not a professional like they are. I've also been complimented on my smile and eyes, with some pretty strong hints that I should consider contact lenses in the future. Personally, I think I have some good legs. They allow me to participate in every activity I do, from cranking out 50 miles on a bike at over 18 miles per hour to throwing a nicely controlled kick to the head in karate just hard enough so my opponent knows he got hit but not hard enough to make him think he could get hurt.

My eyes. Women I don't know will walk up to me and tell me I have the most beautiful eyes. It happens at the grocery store, on the street, in bars, just about everywhere I go. It's even happened on dates. Colonel Panic IP: Logged |

From what I've been told by almost all the women, including ex girlfriends and friends I know, my upper body is great but they like the whole v-shaped thing that I have going because of my Latissimus dorsi being huge. so i guess my Latissimus dorsi and my back. Maybe thats why one of the biggest turn ons for my wife is to watch me do pushups or to lie on my back while i do pushups.  ------------------ IP: Logged |

My wife says I have a "Mel Gibson butt". I wouldn't know myself, as I haven't seen my butt, and I've never paid attention to Mel Gibson's. I've also been told I've got a very photogenic smile (I think it's that I have just the right amount of fat in my cheeks that they help bring the smile to my eyes, and a smiling mouth without smiling eyes is clearly fake). Interestingly, my "photo" smile isn't too far removed from my "what canary?" grin. ------------------ IP: Logged |

My waltz. Well, it's not a part of my body, but it's something that I do with my body. Tonight a couple of people complimented me on my sprinting. I was doing the South Ferry Sprint, and I noticed that I was passing EVERYBODY. I think that my running practice is starting to pay some practical rewards. IP: Logged |

Several women have complemented me on my butt, and they say my hair is pretty nice these days too. It's nice, but I'd like being a sex symbol a lot better if I could only find someone for mutual appreciation 24/7. IP: Logged |

Eyes. I have fairly large, very blue eyes. They get even more noticeable when I get a tan. I get comments on them sometimes. Now if only they worked as well as they looked... My legs get comments. They're long and strong, perfect for beating Rochester headwinds and climbing things. They're also perfect for knocking you in the solar plexus, so watch the staring.  ------------------ IP: Logged |

Someone once told me I have great eyebrows - I certainly raise the left one a lot; generally coupled with a look of amusement/ disdain. People also comment on the combination of my eyes and hair a lot, as both are almost black. sky IP: Logged |

I know I have a nice butt... Even my ex's best friends thought so. But, I think my best feature is the color of my eyes. They tell my mood. I, in fact, must be handsome as I often get approached by girls... The only problem is that they are approaching because of wht I look like, and I know that when they would find out that I am a neo-pagan, classical musician and computer geek who is about as square as it is possile they would most likely run for the hills. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Wow, lots of geeks with great butts, must come from all those workout sessions at the computer. Things I've been complimented on--legs (better be great as much skating as I do) and butt (caught someone staring at it today), hair (it's shiny, thick and wavy), smile, my eyes (they're exotic-looking with really long lashes). I also can achieve a nice (quick) golden tan in the summer (when I go outside, that is). Things that I don't like/need improvement--my nose, my stomach, my posture. I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds either, though I've got quite a layer of muscle under the fat; people are surprised when they find out I can skate/bike/swim/hike/kick/punch/lift weights. Overall, I'm more fit than a lot of the twigs walking around here (I also avoid meat and fried foods a lot--veggie bacon, mmm). IP: Logged |

I've always been told that I have amazing eyes... they seem to have a strange way of changing colour depending on my mood -- from a nice greenish tint when I am in a great mood, to a grey-blue colour when I am really angry. Here's a link to my SETI Team pic, in case you want to see what my eyes look like: What do you think? ------------------ Proud member of ehMac, IP: Logged |

quote: I work with Ann Brodie's Carolina Ballet (there's another company with that name in NC). You can get information about them from the Columbia Music Festival Association down on Pulaski St. downtown by the Amtrak station if you like. The next time I'll be in a show will probably be the Nutcracker, which will be in November at the Township Auditorium. The Columbia City Ballet has their production at Christmas in the Koger Center, but they're a professional company. I've been with the Carolina Ballet for about ten years now, and almost always end up being the Rat King in the Nutcracker. It's also something of a running joke that there are no pictures of my face in the programs for the shows. Everyone else has a head shot in the artist bios, but mine is always a picture of the rat mask, heh heh. IP: Logged |

Hmm..the eyes and butts seem to be the most popular. I've always been complimented on my personality-always a bad sign. Other women always compliment me on my complexion-though, why, I don't know. IP: Logged |
