What's your best feature?
My new beard comes with a free exemption from shaving.
posted by Hugh Janus 01 March | 11:29
Beards are nice. Mine's my hair. It's really shiny, and soft, and red.

Lightest Auburn 7L from L'Oreal ;)

Unrelated: Where is dame?

Legs. Cycling, running, and rowing have left me strangely proud of my legs. I don't shave them though.

I'm told that my eyes are pleasant.

Just moved into her new home, won't be hooking up internet for another day or so. She called me yesterday, and it sounds like all is well.

Yikes. Ummmm, *hides from thread*
posted by tr33hggr 01 March | 11:40
Not directed at you flopsy! But since you kicked things off . . .

My sense of humor. I am quite kind. Physically I'm pretty happy overall, good legs, and blessed in the, uh, down-below bits.

*blushes, seriously, I can't even take a compliment well*

I have no idea.
posted by sciurus 01 March | 11:44
I wouldn't say it's my best, but people always remember my voice and tell me I should be a deejay. Or that I sound laid-back or even stoned. Or, if I'm in a bad mood, that I sound like Clint Eastwood (in one of the "Man With No Name" films, I hope.) Etc etc.

An old boyfriend many years ago once told me I had "perfect rosebud lips."

Does this count as eponysterical?

My one good tooth. It's shiny and sharp.
posted by weretable and the undead chairs 01 March | 12:01
I'm told that my eyes are very special. I like the shape of my lips. I have a good singing voice. The sexy butch dyke who gave me my piercing told me my down-below bits are "perfect".
posted by matildaben 01 March | 12:02
My best feature is my new dishwasher. It's really quiet, and it doesn't use much water. Guaranteed to increase resale price by around $1000.
posted by goatdog 01 March | 12:03
I am well known for my hair. I'm blessed with hair that stays exactly however it dries.

I have been told I have a nice ass, though.
posted by me3dia 01 March | 12:04
My kind heart.

My eyes.

My hair, being curly and frizzy and long, is often admired, but I personally dislike it.
posted by JanetLand 01 March | 12:07
The ladies I work with rave about my hair...it goes into ringlet curls when long enough. If I have any vanity, I suppose it is with regard to my hair.

Non-physically, I am (according to many) very kind, and quite thoughtful. The curse of the thoughtfulness is the tendency to end up a doormat on occasion, but it's a cross I'll bear.

I look good in the dark.

Eyes, legs.
posted by rainbaby 01 March | 12:29
Ooh, I forgot that my shoulders are double jointed, so I can bend my arms in positions that make people uncomfortable when I stretch them.

That is my best feature.
posted by cmonkey 01 March | 12:33
I think I have a pretty decent figure (been told this a couple of times too) and I'm sorta funny and have a modicum of artistic talent.

Great, I should have kept silent.

Well, I'll be here all friggin' day folks!

I'm pretty average looking, but you know, sometimes that's not such a bad thing.

I really like my toes. Even the one that healed funny after I broke it.

That's a lot of metal, IRFH...

Since someone mentioned that there should be photos:

People have said that my eyes and smile are my best features. I've been told that about my eyes often enough that I figure it's probably true. Otherwise, I'm overall about average in attractiveness and I don't think any other features deserve mention.
posted by kmellis 01 March | 12:44
Dupe.
posted by Eideteker 01 March | 12:46
People compliment my hair a lot. Too much, sometimes. Red hair brings out the weird in people. I like my laugh best, though.
posted by wimpdork 01 March | 12:46
It's a bug.
posted by ooga_booga 01 March | 12:51
Quality and feature is different. Feature implies physical, quality implies character.
posted by rainbaby 01 March | 12:54
I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
Based on the available evidence I would have to say "graininess".
posted by Wolfdog 01 March | 13:04
heh.
posted by penguinbukkake 01 March | 13:05
Are those whole grains, Wolfdog?
posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 01 March | 13:06
ooh, ooh! Check out my magic eyes... I will HYPOTIZE you, and make you lay eggs like a chicken. be sure to follow the link inside

But really, my eyes aren't my best feature. They're usually kind of squinty. I win people with my infectious smile.

My tequila breath is an ill remorseful wind that wafts us gently back to a simpler, more fetid time.

Damn you taz, I peed my pants. Just like you knew I would!
posted by iconomy 01 March | 13:12
heheh. Now for the omelets!
posted by taz 01 March | 13:14
Whoa taz whoa!!!

I have peed iconomy's pants!

And your eyes are very pretty when they're not all freaky an' shit.

Omelets? Omelets and DEATH?!?

P.S. Dupe.
No, it's not: this is best feature, that was best quality.

WARNING TO GASPODE (my fellow freaky eye avoider): Do not click on that taz picture!

She turned me to stone! (I got better.)
posted by jrossi4r 01 March | 13:30
A survey of my exes and former lovers shows that my breasts are my best feature. My favorite compliment on them is that they're the kind of breasts women pay to get. Good thing I'm all-natural. ^_^
posted by TrishaLynn 01 March | 13:45
I'm just hot all around. My worst features are my breasts and my vanity.

Off-topic: Hi guys. I'm at the cafe that has wireless. I'll have real internet at home tomorrow. I got a house and a job. Everything is coming up dame & it scares the living shit out of me.
posted by dame 01 March | 13:49
I've been told I have a great smile (which is one reason I'm trying to smile more these days). Other than that, I'd have to say legs. Since I run and bike and walk a lot, they're nicely shaped.

I have also been complimented on my down-there bits. Which is funny, since you really can't take much credit for that, but nice anyway.

Wolfdog: you've got soulful eyes and a nice mouth in addition to the graininess.
posted by Miko 01 March | 13:49
I am just flat out gorgeous, from my myopic brown eyes to my charmingly crooked teeth to my wonderful small breasts to my long tattooed-over-the-varicose-veins legs. So don't hate me because I'm beautiful, hate me because I'm a shallow idiotic twit, okay? ;-)
posted by mygothlaundry 01 March | 14:01
kmellis, people are right.

Hi dame!
posted by iconomy 01 March | 14:05

Aaah...that horrible feeling that something awful must be coming to even things out. I know it well.

Enjoy the upswing while it lasts, dame!

*blushes*
posted by kmellis 01 March | 14:25
Thanks, jrossi. It's more that change means losing things I enjoyed as well as jettisoning things I hated. And it's too soon to know if it was worth it or not.
posted by dame 01 March | 14:39
Hi, dame! Missed you!
posted by matildaben 01 March | 14:39
What was the question again?
posted by chewatadistance 01 March | 14:40
kmellis: I also share that opinion.

Dame: yeah, change feels weird. But this sounds like good change you chose...so, awesome. Best of luck!
posted by Miko 01 March | 14:44
What's best about me? My pleasant disposition, you miserable maggots. Why the hell did you even ask? Shit, can't get any work around done around here today, what with all the stupid questions. And turn down that goddamn noise you insist on calling music!

Best feature, my opposable thumbs. I find them very useful.
posted by King of Prontopia 01 March | 15:19
My eyes, smile, lips, hair and skin are my (positively) commented on features.

Taz - your eyes rock. And yes, kmellis is cute. As is Wolfdog (although he's younger than I thought).
posted by deborah 01 March | 15:51
my eyes, always.
posted by amberglow 01 March | 15:58
Hmm. My mother tells me I have nice hair, but it bugs the living shit out of me. I'll go for eyes.

Oh yeah, forgot: They are indeed quite pleasant. (And I say this in a totally platonic way, monkey.)

I blush to type this, but I'm told my pancreas is pretty hot.
posted by bmarkey 01 March | 16:13
Physically, I've been told eyelashes, eyes, and butt. All three look perfectly ordinary to me.
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:14
I find the eyes opinion especially odd since my eyes are dark brown, so dark that you can barely make out my pupils, which is odd since both my parents have green eyes.

My worst features: bad pitted complexion, bad teeth, lack of chest hair.
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:19
lack of chest hair

Feature or bug?
posted by danostuporstar 01 March | 16:26
The consensus is that my lack of chest fur (just a small tuft on the sternum) seems to be a bug.
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:27
I don't consider lack of chest hair a bad feature. Mr. taz has almost none, and I think it's hot. I don't have anything against chest hair, necessarily, but it's not a feature that I require. Okay, it looks great on Sean Connery, so I wouldn't turn it down... but mostly-smooth can be really excellent and wonderful.
posted by taz 01 March | 16:28
Ditto what taz said. Although, like head hair or lack thereof, it is something I am quite flexible about.
posted by matildaben 01 March | 16:31
Well, let me a elaborate. The aforementioned less-than-hirsuite chest is also somewhat sunken (as in visible rib-bones) and my arms, legs and nether regions are of fairly normal hairness, so it makes for a rather odd visage over all. At least that's what I've been told.
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:31
Chest hair can actually be sexy. It's fun to run your fingers through it. Same with... any hair, really.
posted by TrishaLynn 01 March | 16:34
Oh, and platonically speaking, jonmc really does have the most awesome eyelashes. Makes me want to put mascara on them, they do.
posted by TrishaLynn 01 March | 16:34
*begins rubbing Rogaine on chest furiously*
*wakes up with hairy fingertips*

*puts mascara on, flutters lashes, gets propositioned by stranger with badge*

can you guys loan me bail money?
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:36
Wasn't there a thread a month or two ago where it was mentioned that chest hair was good for grabbing when you need a little extra leverage?
posted by matildaben 01 March | 16:37
This thread would profit from more photos. (didn't somebody say that?)

;)

Well, never mind, jon. What people like is diverse, and for a really large group of people you possess the absolutely ideal composition of physical characteristics...

And I think about half those people are posting right here on metachat! Score!
posted by taz 01 March | 16:41
for a really large group of people you possess the absolutely ideal composition of physical characteristics.

there's a cult of women looking for skinny neurotic men who wear plaid flannel, smell of domestic beer and cigartettes, with acne scars, sloppy hair and bad teeth?

Why wasn't I told earlier, dammit?
posted by jonmc 01 March | 16:44
Jon- the hairless-ness/skinny-ness reminds me of my ex. In a good way. Just sayin'.

My best feature? My fingers. I've been told that they're quite skilled.

I feel like I'm a bit too hirsute. (Excepting my head, of course.) But the last woman I slept with just seemed to love to lay beside me and run her fingers through my hair.

I have hair on my toes.
