What do you consider to be a major physical flaw?

    It depends on the person. I'm not a fan of wrinkles.

    I have some myself as a result of too many years of straining y eyes when studying under weak lamplight without glasses.

    They're hardly noticeable in my neutral face, but when I laugh there is considerable creasing around my eyes. Been doing a secret survey of colleagues and the only people with similar lines are at least a decade older than me.

    F*ck you, textbooks and 40-watt bulbs. F*ck you.

    I'm short, but I don't consider that a major flaw. I wear reading glasses, but as annoying as it is I don't consider that a flaw either. Just a difference. I think people expect too much perfection in themselves, more that most of them would expect in someone else.

    There are some who expect perfection in others without ever looking at themselves, generally they're not very nice people.

    If I were to start on all the physical flaws I'd like to change about myself I'd be here all night!

    Oh and Candie, glasses can be extremely hot on ladies ;)

    But not on me KF! I don't care, I need them for reading and I don't let functional stuff get me down.

    I can always take them off and do the hair shake thing!

    Back pain is one of the greatest scourges humans are afflicted with and a Study in The Journal of Scientific Studies of Science states
    The human spine is an engineering marvel, it's a pretty complicated device in comparison to other mammalian spines and it can be prone to injury but I'd wonder is most back pain the result of sedentary lifestyles, how are athletes with back pain? It has some cool auto correcting and efficiency tricks that make us so good at walking and running, it's range of movement is pretty spectacular and given the loads and stresses it goes through it's surprising we're not laid up with back troubles 50% of the time.

    It's easily one of the best spinal configurations nature has come up with, the advantages we get from our spine are pretty significant.

    My skin is feckin mank.

    The skin on my face is grand, I don't get spots or anything. It's the skin on my arms and legs. It's like I've got small, permanent goosebumps :( excess Collagen or some sh*t. It's not too bad this time of year as it's less noticeable when I've a tan but during warm spells in late Sping or early summer I'd sooner a snowsuit than a pair of shorts.

    I bet they look fine on you, it's that old stigma about glasses but a nice pair on a lady can make them look even more attractive!

    Now if I wore them I'd look like the biggest 'Poindexter' ever :pac:

    I realised in my mid twenties after 10 years of stressing about my "flaws" that's people are way too busy worrying about their own flaws to notice mine so I gave up stressing about it.

    10% Eurea lotion, over about a year. If you're consistent enough, it'll work fine but you have to be very regular with it and keep it up permanently.

    A flaw in your physical health is really the only flaw to give too much concern too.

    The last girl I was really attracted to had a gap tooth (like the porn star Belladonna, or so someone told me) and after a few weeks of knowing her I noticed she kept covering her mouth when she smiled and so I asked why she did that and she said she has a gap tooth and always hated it. Told I thought it was the most attractive thing about her and she thought I was taking the piss.

    That was few years ago and since then I notice lots of models with gap tooths. Many people I bet have went and got that corrected and might have taken their thing away. Everyone has a thing, I think, some sort of imperfection that sets them apart. Jennifer Grey is a perfect example of that, Baby from Dirty Dancing. I thought her hooked jewish nose looked really cute, but she had rhinoplasty and now it's gone. She's still hot, no question, maybe even better looking, but to me personally, she is less attractive than she was (granted, she was ten years older when she had it done). Moral of the story: the thing the bugs you about your appearance, just might be something that people quite like.

    Baby / J.Grey.

    I was about to type a post about my tooth gap and decided not to. But Yep, for years I wanted to get it "fixed" and when I finally decided that I was going to do it, my friends freaked as apparently it is my best feature :confused:

    I don't agree, but I don't hate it any more at least.

    My biggest physical flaw is prob my mouth, every time I seem to open it bullshít comes out :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    As far as most men are concerned, if women grew horns out of their head horns would become sexy.

    The French are great people for picking models that don't look traditionally sexy. They like unique features, because often those unique features make a person look interesting.

    Quite the fashion now apparently.

    When you genuinely get to that point in your thinking, it's such a big relief. I think most people get there eventually.

    I like this post cos I learned the things about spines. You know, the things?

    I have massive hamster cheeks and a Jay Leno chin.

    I look like jigsaw from saw, genuinely.

    An ex of mine had a slight gap between her front teeth. She was pretty hot and I thought it added some uniqueness to how she looked. Everyone I know also felt the same way.

    I have a very freckily nose that I used to hate. It's the one thing people always point out about me and how it's cute. I've come to embrace it now.

    Another 'flaw' which is quite attractive. Love Rashida Jones's.

    Some actually draw them on.

    Currently I have a spot on my nose. I am going to need therapy if it does not go away soon.

    Update: The spot has gone. I am flawless again.

    Tooth gaps can be incredibly hot, Vanessa Paradis hot. There are others too but I can't think.

    No faults - happy with all my junk.

    I have a weird breast bone that protrudes. So it looks like I'm that dude in the Alien movie just as Mr. Baby Alien is getting ready to pop out of the dudes chest.
    It used to upset me growing up, but not anymore.
