What do you consider your 'best' physical feature(s)?

[ForrestGump]

It seems to me like it's really common for people to pick a feature that perhaps, in the minds of many or most who see them, is eclipsed by another feature, and even to not believe that the other feature is particularly noteworthy. I'm among that number, for sure.

I'm talking sheer physicality here, because the best feature of all people (well, most...Paris Hilton just popped into my head -- a profoundly disturbing experience, htat is -- for example) is what's inside. And if there are societal norms of 'perfection' for any given feature...well...I'm not talking about that: what do you consider your most stellar physiognomic attribute or attributes?

[KitchenWitch]

1. "the girls"

:rofl:

[ForrestGump]

9. :D

Picture! Picture! :P

[Left Is Write]

2. My eyes.

[ForrestGump]

11. Eyes are probably the first thing I look at...same with lots of people,

I think.

They can be dangerous to stare into for too long... :-)

[Aristus]

50. Oh come on, LIW...

Your best feature is EVERYTHING! B-)

[ForrestGump]

56. Well, yeah, but

she does have beautiful eyes...twinkling...playful...inviting.........um.......married :D

[Aristus]

58. Yeah, I know. It's a drag, but then,

I'm married, too.

[ForrestGump]

60. I'm separated!

Damn...what's going on tonight? That's the second time this hour that I've declared my matrimonial limbo... :D

[Left Is Write]

116. That's flattering...

not quite accurate, but flattering all the same! ;)

[bicentennial_baby]

3. hmmm...

my bum, probably. :)

[MrScorpio]

12. I've got a shopping list with your name on it, Baby Girl

And It's all good

[bicentennial_baby]

14. haha! yay papi!

:bounce:

:loveya:

[ForrestGump]

13. I haven't seen that side of you

:D

But I'll take your word for it. :hi:

[RetroLounge]

125. Yup...

But it's hard to pick just one feature when you are as YOWSA! as you are...

:hi:

RL

[bicentennial_baby]

127. heehee...

:blush: well thank you sweetie... :loveya:

[RetroLounge]

162. No, thank you...

It was all my pleasure...

:hi:

RL

[LeftyMom]

4. I have really nice eyes

and nice cheekbones, too.

[ForrestGump]

16. I swear, Ms LeftyMom, I DID try

to get to your eyes in that infamous photo that you posted but -- *sigh* -- my male weakness...I just never made it... :-(

[LeftyMom]

20. Awww. I'll try to post a new one with less distraction soon.

:blush:

[ForrestGump]

30. LESS distraction?

Awww...come on... :evilgrin:

[LynzM]

5. My smile :)

Probably the thing I've gotten the most compliments on in my life.

But the boobs are second in line, of course :evilgrin:

[Briarius]

6. I'll second that!

:evilgrin:
















the smile, of course!

[ForrestGump]

17. Those two...uh...THREE things

are a potent combination! :-)

[MissMillie]

115. I think my smile is my best feature too

[Briarius]

7. My enormous

height. At least that's my most striking feature. I have a pretty good smile and cool hazel eyes too.

[ForrestGump]

21. If I were female,

you'd probably be my type. :D

[Briarius]

29. I don't know whether to be flattered or mortified

:evilgrin:
I'd probably go with buying ya a beer if we ever meet up :D

[ForrestGump]

Cool. already got men buying me drinks

:D

Hey, how 'bout them Bears, huh? *spit* *scratch* *singlefingernoseblow*

[leftofthedial]

8. naked or clothed?

LOL

[ForrestGump]

23. :-O

Um...let's see...you could post pictures of both and let a jury of DU's Bodacious Babes judge. :D

[SeattleGirl]

10. My long legs

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

15. Did you say..., Ummmm.... Legs?

You said legs!

Oh.

My.


Goodness.

[SeattleGirl]

31. Why yes, I did!

All the better to......:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

40. Oh, I can envision it now

Ohhhhhh!

[SeattleGirl]

42. Can you now?

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

44. Believe you, me

I have a very vivid imagination

[ForrestGump]

24. Did you say....ummmm....legs?

And she knows how to use them... :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Yes she does....

She can walk, and dance, and.....

[ForrestGump]

34. ....and....and...and...?...

...and...kick my behind? :D

[SeattleGirl]

37. Nah.

I'm more into :spank: :spank: :spank: :evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

41. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

In that case...

[SeattleGirl]

43. LOL!

Good one!!!! :rofl:

[FuzzySlippers]

18. The twins.

;)

[ForrestGump]

25. Oh, my goodness

I'm getting faint... :loveya:

[FuzzySlippers]

28. Here's a place for you to collapse.

:)

[ForrestGump]

35. Nice pillow

:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My eyes are my best feature,

or so I've been told........:shrug:

[ForrestGump]

26. I hate to narrow things down to 'best,' but

your eyes really do reveal a lot about you, Ms Peggy, chiefly that you are a beautiful person. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear ForrestGump!

You just made my evening!

Thank you.......

Check your PM in a few minutes, if you would please......


:loveya: :hug:

[ForrestGump]

46. Okey-dokey...

:hug:

:loveya:

[MrScorpio]

22. My Wrists

[ForrestGump]

27. Uh-oh...watch out for Heidi, man, 'cos

she'll be on those wrists in a second and you'll have to deal with her samurai dude, an insanely jealous man who's........actually, he's just insane. :o

[Call Me Wesley]

104. I'm mortally wounded.

Just over the last three days on DU I was called a 'rat', a 'stinker', and now 'just insane.' :cry:

Why do you hate foreigners?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

137. Ah, my dear Call Me Wesley.......

All that means is that you are now: One Of Us!

We love you.......don't worry!

:loveya: :hug: :pals:

[Call Me Wesley]

150. Why thank you!

:hug. :loveya:

[Lavender Brown]

32. my skin

My family has good complexion genes.

[ForrestGump]

39. That's great! I hope it's always so,

even in the harsh winter...skin really takes a beating, in some environments.

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. The Hair

Five years ago I would've said "And the abs."

They're still under there somewhere. Y'just can't see 'em anymore. :blush:

[ForrestGump]

47. Come out, come out, wherever you are, abs

They're resting, that's all. It's been a long decade.

[RevCheesehead]

61. Hey, you!

Where have you been hiding tonight?? :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

63. Ain't hidin'

Just not real yakkety today. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

68. And, apparently, you have nothing to confess.

I'm glad to see you've been behavin.'
Even so, your absence was noted. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

70. I ain't confessin'

Because I'm all cozy in the Comfy Chair.

[RevCheesehead]

72. OK, I'll grant you that.

You probably have the comfy cat with you, don't you?

[Oeditpus Rex]

84. Actually, no

She's not a lap cat. Jumps offa me if I put her there.

Instead, she jumps up on the desk behind me (I have one of those three-sided desks) and says stuff like, "Well? Y'gonna ignore that stupid computer and give me skritchins or what?"

[RevCheesehead]

86. Cats decide when they will display affection, if any.

Binky will never let me hold her, but she is always nearby. She follows me from room to room. Lately, Oreo comes in and insists on jumping in my arms. This is very new behavior, and it kind of freaks me out.

I'm glad to know that you can understand the language of cat. Speaking it, however, is like Klingon - it takes lots of practice, and even then, you're not quite sure you got it right.

[Zomby Woof]

45. My fur

Keeps me toasty when hoofin' it!

[ForrestGump]

48. Do you ever quit yakkin'?

:P

You horny devil...

[Zomby Woof]

49. Didn't Elvis keep a herd of yaks at Graceland?

If he didn't, he SHOULD have. :P

[ForrestGump]

53. True story.

A little known fact.

:D

And his sax player from the '60s had the hit "Yakety Sax" -- somehow, it's all connected.

[Aristus]

51. I dunno, it depends.

It used to be my hair; silky, soft and baby-fine. Girls used to love to run their fingers through it......and then it fell out.

My nose has been called 'aristocratic', but I wonder if that's just a euphemism for 'big'. B-)

[ForrestGump]

54. You know, those girls just pulled it all out

Note to self: resist women who desire to run fingers through hair

But you are an aristocratic dude, for sure... :-)

[LaraMN]

52. Well, considering my boot fetish,

I'd say my legs, but my husband seems to like my bum.

[ForrestGump]

57. I agree with you

And I'd probably agree with your husband if I had his vantage point. :-)

[kwassa]

107. and I thought a bum was a lazy or shiftless person

I thought the proper technical term you were seeking was "bootalicious".

[Taverner]

157. Mmmm just can't get enough of that pic

:loveya:

[gmoney]

172. Lara, the best part of you...

...it's too close to call. Dynamite, head to toe. :)



Still had that in the photobucket from when I removed the booster seat. :)

[WCGreen]

55. It's my elbow.... And then the back of my knee....

[ForrestGump]

59. Which elbow?

My right's probably the cutest one...kind of coy and flirtatious. How about you?

[WCGreen]

62. It's my left one... A wink and a nod... That's usually all it takes..

[ForrestGump]

73. Really? A wink and a nod and she's in heaven?

You. Are. GOOD!

I bow before your magnitude.

[qnr]

64. My heart

hasn't conked out on me after all these years :)

Edit: Yes, I knew what you meant, but it fit with the way the question was phrased

[ForrestGump]

74. I can see your figurative heart from here

And, yes, I concur. :hi:

[SW FL Dem]

65. Long legs

I'm 5'8" and all legs. I wish they still looked like they did when I was a teen, but they still look pretty good for a 40 something mom.

[ForrestGump]

75. Wo!

:D

Legs are good. Legs are nice. :loveya:

[Vektor]

66. My back and arms...

I have nice hair too.

[ForrestGump]

76. That can be a VERY nice view,

I must say. Alluring. :-)

[Vektor]

82. Why thank you!

I hope that is the case. Because if not, I wouldn't be able to see people laughing behind my back! :-)

[ForrestGump]

87. Anyone laughing behind your back

is just overjoyed by their good fortune in being there with you. :D

[Vektor]

90. I hope so!

:-)

[wildhorses]

67. my eyes

they cannot tell a lie

[ForrestGump]

77. And you're telling the truth now, for sure

I just saw your picture for the first time... :D

[wildhorses]

91. um....thanks

:blush:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

69. My nose

I've been told it is perfect.

Everything else bites.

[ForrestGump]

78. Nah..the only parts that bite are the surfaces of your teeth.

:hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

80. Aww...

Have a cyberbrew... :beer:

[ForrestGump]

81. Are youb drying do gedd me trunk, mizz ofGinnesss?

*hic*

:loveya:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

83. Is it possible?

From one cyberbrew? You always impressed me as having such high tolerance! ;-)

[ForrestGump]

88. Eye doan dreenk

*burp*

skewmee

[GoddessOfGuinness]

92. Oh dear...

This is all my fault...corrupting you with my brew.

You'd better take a walk in the brisk air and have a nice glass of sparkling water, or you'll have a nasty headache tomorrow.

[ForrestGump]

96. Apparently, I am all better now. In my drunken stupor,

I happened upon a magazine article that alleged George W. Bush was President. Woke me right the hell up, with a start -- too bad the shcok doesn't work on him, the same way. :-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

109. Bet you've still got a headache, though...

even if it isn't from beer. ;-)

[HEyHEY]

71. My Calves

I've got very well defined and muscular calves. Must be all those years of snowboarding and skateboarding

[ForrestGump]

79. Aren't they at dire risk of being eaten by polar bears?

:scared:

Oh...those kinds of calves.

All right, then -- a different version, just for you:

He's got legs
And he knows how to use them...

[liontamer]

85. depends

most people would pick my breasts or my lips. I've always been partial to my skin. But I guess to most people the breasts and lips are more obvious. They're certainly easier to see and judge from a distance.

[ForrestGump]

89. But that's perfect!

They home in on those elements of your physical beauty that stand out from afar (no innuendo intended, pectorally speaking) and, when they get closer, they see that the perfection doesn't stop there! They'd just better behave themselves when they're up close, of course. :D

[liontamer]

94. you know when you put it that way

I guess I am pretty lucky :blush:

Thanks!

[ForrestGump]

95. You're welcome, but

they're the lucky ones, and don't you forget it. :D

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

93. My eyes.

It used to be my bright red/auburn hair, but it got darker. :(

[ForrestGump]

97. Ahhh...yes...windows to the soul

Well, then I could see how they'd be so irresistible.

As for the other, there's always dye. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

98. You tell me....

Oh, and the other answer is "highlights."

[Heidi]

102. Another beautiful DU redhead!

Your smile is lovely, too, Rev. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

111. Thank you kindly, dear Heidi.

:hug:

[ET Awful]

99. The little toe on my right foot.

Gets 'em every time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

100. My eyes....and definitely not my nose.

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

101. My smile.

That's what people tell me, at least. The rest of me looks like crap, though.

[tjwmason]

103. My eyes.

They are blue, large and have long thick lashes.

I probably wouldn't have noticed, but they have received a fair few comments in their time.

[supernova]

105. My blue-green eyes

They can look blue or blue-green, depending on what I'm wearing. Then there's the girls. :-). :D

[Shell Beau]

106. According to my husband it is my boobs and butt!

I say my eyes and smile!! :)

[Taverner]

120. How about all of the above

Since you're an all around hottie babe

[Shell Beau]

126. Well, thanks...

But we all have our flaws!!! :P

[Taverner]

128. Yep - you don't like Sushi!

[Ron Mexico]

108. My middle fingers.

I show them to Republicans all the time. You should see the reactions my middle fingers get.

[taterguy]

110. my legs

Partially genetics, partially due to the fact that I don't own a car and use a bike to get everywhere. They got me from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River and back in one day: an 18 mile hike.

[Rising Phoenix]

112. my lips and smile oh and my feet

[bicentennial_baby]

117. you...

you're so perfect from head to toe, i couldn't even pick one that's best...my beautiful butterfly :loveya:

[Rising Phoenix]

118. awwww....

:blush:

as are you...:loveya:

[DS1]

113. This thread is so unbelievably disappointing

and useless without more pictures

[bicentennial_baby]

119. hey, i was going to post one of mine...

but i've had bad luck with my pics lately, as you know :D

[bertha katzenengel]

114. smile

:)

[RumpusCat]

121. I have awesome eyebrows

No one on here has said 'eyebrows' yet!

Other than that I've got great babydyke hair. :D

[skygazer]

122. My hair

It's brown with auburn highlights, thick and wavy and down to my butt.

[SOteric]

123. My sharp tongue.

The physical feature that gets the most attention is probably my long dark hair. Every few months or so, some random stranger or other quite literally stops me in the street to tell me how gorgeous my hair is.

[anarch]

124. obviously, my massive, 13 inch

forearms.


OK, not really...I have no idea. I'm pretty happy I have relatively strong teeth, I guess. I use them almost every day.

[friesianrider]

129. My legs. I think they're too long but men love them (shallow bastards!)

[Tyrone Slothrop]

130. There's really no such thing in my book

Legs that are too long, that is.

[friesianrider]

132. Haha...

So I hear! :) I totally get the biological component to men loving boobs, but what's with the loving of long legs? I'm not complaining of course...gotta thank my Momma for them ;)

[taterguy]

133. why men like long legs

Because of how good it feels to have them wrapped around our bodies, and because it gives the impression that you're capable of going on long hikes and engaging in other athletic pursuits (assuming that it's outdoorsy guys who ogle them)

[Dangerously Amused]

131. How did this thread get so far along without you giving up the goods?

No fair to start a thread with a question you don't answer first!

[ForrestGump]

135. I was afraid someone might notice that...shoulda known it'd be you

:P

I don't know what I think my best feature is. I've had people tell me everything from my legs to my behind to my nose to my cheeks to my hands to my shoulders to my hair (got that one a lot, even from men) to my eyes to...well...other stuff.


Hunkahunka

No, not that...I mean, well, of course, but... :P

And -- oh, yeah -- my wrists passed Heidi's expert scrutiny, and the nature of my current occupation results in me getting a lot of comments about my overall look and points of similarity with this other dude.

So, no answer for me. :-)

Unless they're all right and I'm just some kind of Adonis. :D

Duh...I just realized: maybe it's my height; that gets lots of comments and women in supermarkets are always asking me to get them stuff off the top shelf...it does come in handy. There are taller men, for sure, but my height probably gets more comments than anything else.


Your turn... :P

:loveya:

[datasuspect]

134. my chiseled gluteal muscles

[geniph]

136. The gray matter holding my ears apart

mostly, it works pretty well.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

138. tits ..ass...lips

those are my assets.

[ForrestGump]

140. I can't open your recent picture thread any more

Because, every time I do, your picture pops up right away and my breath catches in my throat...and it hurts like an SOB because I've been coughing so much during the past 24 hours of this stubborn cold cycle. :-(

Yes, your beauty brings tears to my eyes... :cry:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

155. oh my god...thats the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me

[ForrestGump]

156. Then it's about time people started getting with the program

and telling you how it is, and how you are. :-)

:hug: <-- long-distance hug, 'cos I don't want you catching this pesky cold

[Canadian Socialist]

139. I would have to say my hands

even though I'm fifty, I don't have any "spots" or bulging veins (that a lot of older women get); plus my nails have very white tips, grow rapidly and are quite strong. My hands are very small (it's a pain trying to buy gloves or mitts - always end up in the kids section) and they are attached to very thin wrists. Considering the rest of me is quite large, it's a little odd to have this tiny, delicate feature.

[supernova]

141. Ha! Small hands unite!

(it's a pain trying to buy gloves or mitts - always end up in the kids section)

Yes, I have to buy gloves in the kids' section, too. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

148. At least they're girly.

I have to get most of mine from the men's department. :(

[supernova]

151. Oh man, the opposite problem

You don't look that much taller than me, RevChH.

I don't know what's worse. Having to get Hello Kitty mittens, or Home On the Range work gloves. :crazy:

[ForrestGump]

154. I like Hello Kitty stuff!

I wish I could get my hands into a pair. :-(

[supernova]

158. Awww, poor FG!

:hug: for missing out on all the great Hello Kitty wear. :D

[ForrestGump]

160. Thank you

:hug:

Thank you for feeling my pain... :-(

I even have the Hello Kitty background as my Yahoo home page. :-)

[swag]

142. The pickled hymen I keep on my mantle.

[MiniMandaRuth]

143. My eyes, and, as many other female DUers have mentioned,

the twins.









(the boys at my school especially like the last feature):blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

[redqueen]

144. I dunno... my eyes I guess.

:shrug:

[ForrestGump]

145. And everything else,

by the way.

My humble opinion... :loveya:

[redqueen]

152. Awwww

:blush:

Thanks, FG. :hi:

[ForrestGump]

159. You're welcome, Ms redqueen. It

wasn't flattery, either, but the objective empirical observation of a trained professional...so rest assured that it's all true. :-)

We out here already knew that, though. :yourock:

[HEyHEY]

146. ......

I'm not saying nuthin!

[redqueen]

153. hehehehe

I take it you disagree, then?

[bigwillq]

147. My smile

or my ass! :evilgrin:

[no name no slogan]

149. My immensely huge

nose

(or so I've been told)

[ContraBass Black]

161. My Voice.

It's iconic. It frightens some, and arouses many. When they hear it, people stop and stare, hanging on every word. I gives me instant appeal and authority. People remember my words long after I have spoken. When I am silent, some beg to hear more.

[ForrestGump]

163. Tell me more

:D


Cool! James Earl Jones is a DUer!

[ContraBass Black]

164. Well, I'm not JEJ,

But people often compare me to him. The part of it that strikes me most is that I don't use the full, rich range of my voice.

I'm usually too tense or uptight to speak in my fullest register. In addition, I use a higher pitch so that people can hear me better. Still, when I speak in what to me sounds like a pinched whine, those that hear me gasp and praise my "basso profundo."

A select few have heard my "real" voice, with its totality of rich resonance. They eagerly await a chance to hear it again.

[RevCheesehead]

165. Tell me you sing, and I'm yours.

:loveya:

(oops, did I say that out loud? :blush:)

[ContraBass Black]

166. Off and on.

I was in a choir from 2003 to last spring.

I held down the Bass section.

[RevCheesehead]

167. I used to date a baritone.

His voice sent me places that only angels have been. O8)

If you have that marvelous gift, you simply must share it with the rest of the world. (God told me to tell you that. ;))

[ContraBass Black]

169. I used to be a baritone.

And then I got to high school...

:p

[ContraBass Black]

170. Delete

Dupe

[TallahasseeGrannie]

168. Earlobes, knees, molars, eyebrows, uvulla

[NNadir]

171. My massive gut.

It prevents me from seeing my very ugly feet.

I avoid seeing my very ugly face by keeping it behind my very ugly eyes.
