Having just read another thread about the language used to describe non white people, I thought it would be interesting to see how you'd describe yourself in terms of your appearance. I'll start.

I'm in my 60s, white, grey shoulder length hair, green eyes, 5''2", size 16 with big boobs.

Can't believe I'm 75, slim, active, Judy Murray lookalike with more wrinkles and less dress sense.

I “vary from dragged headfirst through a bush, to really quite appealing”.

Quote from DH. I think it was supposed to be a compliment Grin.

"Compact perfection" as I keep pointing out.

Pretty face, looking a decade younger than I am, piercing eyes. Bits to be toned and a few pounds to be lost, but overall, could be much worse.

5’3”, size 12-14, piercing blue eyes and fabulous natural eyebrows, good hourglass figure, although sand is rapidly disappearing through the middle and short blonde/grey hair styled in the effect of a Van de Graaff generator.

Stunningly beautiful 😎

loserssaywhat · 27/01/2020 05:56

Short, mid length brown hair, hazel eyes, size 12, massive boobs, nice legs, good skin, tiny hobbit feet. No fashion sense.

PrimeraVez · 27/01/2020 06:01

Tall and slimmish, good hair, nice tits, face reflects ownership of two non-sleeping pre-schoolers

Multicoloured skin, multicoloured hair, adult human female.

thegreylady · 27/01/2020 09:27

I am old, fat, frumpy but comfortable with myself.

FiveFarthings · 27/01/2020 09:29

Resting bitch face

Zenithbear · 27/01/2020 09:32

I look happy. Good slim figure, fab legs from all the dog walking, pretty especially eyes and smile, blonde hair past shoulders trying to grow it longer. Early 50's no wrinkles and think I've never looked better so enjoying it.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 27/01/2020 09:32

Haggard, more round than long and with scraggly, unkempt hair.

Racheyg · 27/01/2020 09:35

Mid 30's, light brown mid length hair with a curtain fringe, Hazel eyes, big eyebrows, big lips size 12 and carry most of my weight round the tummy.  this is how I look

TheChosenTwo · 27/01/2020 09:38

Put it this way, I’m 35 and everyone warned me this would happen - my looks have faded Grin
I’m still a nice person thankfully!!

KundaliniRising · 27/01/2020 09:46

180cm tall, 61kg, age 46, silver hair, elegant.

RiddleyW having a bit of a rubbish day and you really made me laugh, thanks! She sounds great, I'll have to look for the thread in Classics. Flowers

antisupermum · 27/01/2020 12:07

A solid 7 if I make an effort

MrsPerfect12 · 27/01/2020 12:30

NickMarlow · 27/01/2020 12:35

5 ft 7, brown hair, blue eyes, low maintenance and happy that way, tired tired tired!

Disfordarkchocolate · 27/01/2020 12:38

Today - unkempt, squishy faced redhead.

If I can be arsed - lovey (according to my husband).

afrikat · 27/01/2020 12:42

I look better than I feel 😃

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 27/01/2020 13:38

36, fat, haggered and fucked.

Soontobe60 · 27/01/2020 14:23

Two things I’ve noticed in the replies.
Most people haven’t mentioned skin colour.
Most people describe themselves in negative terms. Is this because we’re conditioned to not ‘boast’ about our appearance?

I’ve noticed this too.

Late sixties, never been able to work out if I am tall or short, fat or thin. Went to Japan and felt like a lumbering giant. Went to N. Carolina and felt like a petite doll.
I suppose I am elderly Ms Average with blue eyes.
