Am I the only person that looks at noses first? I'm funny about noses....

I don't look at noses first. Stand alone they're odd but ok on a face in context...

When I was younger I used to check other people's noses out in order to either
a) convince myself that someone else's nose was worse than mine or
b) sigh with longing at someone else's pert, cute nose.

I spent decades hating my massive hooter. Now that I'm old, I've decided to give myself a break and not care any more that I have an ugly nose.
Do I still look at people's noses before any of their other features? well...old habits die hard.

Christy Turlington, in the 1990s, had the most beautiful nose.

This isn't a nose bashing thread, mine is awful and wonky. Just wonderingly if I'm alone in my nose obsession.

I'm obsessed with noses because I've wanted rhinoplasty since I can remember (just waiting to gain weight so someone will do it)
I always look at noses first, I could spend hours looking at perfect noses though which is sad but I truly hate mine.

DontTouchTheMoustache · 13/08/2017 20:30

Mine is awful so look at the first because you generally fixate on the things you are insecure about.

YouRat · 13/08/2017 20:31

I love Tom Cruises nose. Really suits his face.
I hate my nose. They used to call me Roman nose in school Sad

Not all are ugly. My DD's is gorgeous. If you looked up perfect nose in a plastic surgery option mag it would have a pic of DD's Grin

NancyDonahue · 13/08/2017 20:31

Mine is ok but could be letter. Amy Adams an Nicole Kidman have lovely noses.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 13/08/2017 20:31

I think youre drawn to look first at the thing youre most insecure about yourself.
I notice peoples face shape first as i hate how round and fat mine is with no neck.

martiniwini · 13/08/2017 20:32

I think it could possibly be a complex about my own nose, which I've always hated.

I can't decide my fave nose but it's probably between Kate Beckinsale, Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie

martiniwini · 13/08/2017 20:32

Even so,who has the perfect nose? I'm not a fan of big noses, rather cute noses.

I've learnt to love mine after years of hating it, can honestly say I don't really notice others unless they are exceptional in some way.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 13/08/2017 20:34

Mine is fairly big and ever so slightly crooked. But apparently it give my face character so people say. And I am quite a quirky funny person, tbh so I wouldnt want a totally boring face.

Rhinoplasty is one of the operations that patients are least happy with the result of. Loads of people have 2 or 3 operations. Not to mention what a fucker it is if it goes wrong. a) it's on your face; b) you might not be able to breathe properly/sleep. And even the celebrity ones (who presumably go to the best dr available, get bad results)

Personally, having thought long and hard about it, I reckon nose jobs are really only for people who "really" need it, if you see what I mean.. Like if you have a really obvious bump to be removed.

martiniwini · 13/08/2017 20:35

I think the girl from eastenders, who was originally in that programme with honor Blackman has a fab nose.

I look at noses because I hate mine. Jennifer Lawrence has the most perfect nose but I'm pretty sure she had hers done. Nosejobs look weird as you age, I guess they don't grow the way a "real" nose does? I keep seeing girls who contour the most amazing noses on themselves on Instagram but there's no way to contour my huge honker lol

ChickenVindaloo2 · 13/08/2017 20:40

My nose

Noses are ugly?
Pikachuwithyourmouthclosed · 13/08/2017 20:44

I love a big nose. I could never fancy a man with a small nose. A nose needs character.

IdentifiesAsASloth · 13/08/2017 20:45

I'm the same but I look at women's knee caps and compare them to mine.

IdentifiesAsASloth · 13/08/2017 20:47

Your nose is lovely ChickenVindaloo2. You have a very happy face Smile

ChickenVindaloo2 · 13/08/2017 21:01

Thanks Sloth!

I have a big nose and big teeth so I look a bit goofy sometimes but meh! Several people have said my nose does give me character. I always wanted a small, ladylike nose but several people with said type of noses have said they'd prefer mine!

Never thought about the size of men's noses but I could never fancy a man with small hands...went on an internet date with one once - creepy as fuck...

ChickenVindaloo2 · 13/08/2017 21:02

I always look at people's feet when they have flipflops/sandals on. I like to count to make sure they have the right number of toes. I don't know why. I think maybe because I saw a pic on a mangazine once of maybe Janet Jackson and she had 6 toes on one foot.
