What's your favourite thing about yourself?

There's often negative stuff about our body shape, size or style on this (wonderful) board. I'm guilty of it - a frequent offender. I hate my upper half, par example.

However, I like my legs and hair. My nails are looking good at the moment, too. And I'm blessed with good skin.

What's your favourite thing about yourself?

Big husky-blue eyes. Fab teeth (no fillings, no braces- go me!).

I am generous of spirit and have a filthy laugh.

OCSockOrphanage · 13/02/2017 20:22

I have always had the neatest bum... and still have!

I have a love hate thing with my hair but I'm loving it at the moment. It looks just the right cool side of dishevelled Grin. I also like my blue eyes, in fact I think my face is basically quite nice. I'm extremely loyal and supportive as a friend and I look for the positives in people, but I don't suffer fools gladly. Pretty confident that people know where they stand with me. (I think that's a good thing?!)

NotJanine · 13/02/2017 20:33

I have shapely legs and am small of chest, which I like as I like to be active.

I'm also kind and loyal.

teachergirl2011 · 13/02/2017 20:35

My Ice Blue Eyes and my perfect straight white teeth! Everything else is a disaster.

teachergirl2011 · 13/02/2017 20:36

I always get complimented on my hair as well.

LapinR0se · 13/02/2017 20:38

I have nice green eyes and a decent bum

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 13/02/2017 21:04

My legs and eyes.
I also like how loyal I am and how I will do anything for my friends and family.

DancingHouse · 13/02/2017 21:18

I don't get redness of the skin meaning I look better without foundation. That's a beauty headache I'm glad I don't have to deal with.

I'm also quite experimental with my hair. I'm not afraid to try something new, in fact the last time I went to the hairdressers I sat down and said "do something interesting" and left with an undercut which I love!

TheresAFlyInMySoup · 13/02/2017 21:23

Loyal and funny. Quite like my eyes and am told I have nice hands rest of me's a bit of a fuck up though

ProjectGainsborough · 13/02/2017 21:36

Good thread. I love the idea of hands 'getting a personality'.

I really struggle with this and get all squirmy if someone pays me a compliment, but I am quite slim and have good fashion sense. Skin's not bad either.

Truckingalong · 13/02/2017 22:07

The component parts of me are pretty ordinary. Thin hair, saggy eyelids, shapeless nose, thin-ish lips, spotty skin, skinny shapeless calves, saggy bum, bit of middle age spread, tall and gormless ....but.......together, weirdly I look ok enough plus I'm fit and healthy and all of me still works and I'm very grateful for that.

annandale · 13/02/2017 22:10

I have great shoulders and wrists. I have good posture too and it surprises me how rare that is because a lot of people could improve theirs quite easily.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 13/02/2017 22:31

People comment on my eyes ( large, blue) which I think are quite expressive. I laugh a lot, which goes a long way in getting people to like me. I'm easy going, which I think shows in my face.
Thank Christ, because my body is a train wreck.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 13/02/2017 22:34

Although I do have very nice ankles and wrists. To the connoisseur I'm quite the catch.

Passthecake30 · 13/02/2017 22:35

My 36" legs. That are getting a bit veiny now.... but will always be long!

hollieberrie · 13/02/2017 22:55

I have quite a deep raspy voice which I am fond of..
My eyes are bit small but a lovely mix of green and blue (my mum and dad are both dead but my eyes are a perfect mix of theirs and that makes me happy every time I look at them)
My nose is not the slimmest but I love the way it looks with my piercing.
I am kind and patient, especially good with vulnerable people.

This is a great thread OP. God I love S&B - best place on MN by a mile.Grin

Destinysdaughter · 13/02/2017 23:04

Beautiful sparkly eyes and good skin for my age. Boobs women spend thousands on to emulate. No cellulite. Halo

Destinysdaughter · 13/02/2017 23:08

I actually like being older because now that my hair is grey I can finally have the blonde hair I always wanted when I was a brunette!

KikisDeliveryService · 13/02/2017 23:14

My shiny hair, my wrists, ankles, shoulders and waist. My strength. My ability to get shit done. My resourcefulness.

CallarMorvern · 13/02/2017 23:16

My height (5'10"), it took me a while to grow into it. I'm kind and loyal and I love my Lancashire accent.

bummymummy77 · 13/02/2017 23:23

I've been sat here for five minutes and can't think of one thing. That's really fucking depressing. Sad

AmberNectarine · 13/02/2017 23:23

I've got good shoulders, a small waist and nice looking feet.

I can also walk naturally in very high heels 😊

Trustyourself2 · 13/02/2017 23:24

I've just started to like my green eyes - didn't really notice them before. My feet aren't bad, as feet go.
