Do you feel you got a bad deal in the genetics that gave you your looks?

I had one VERY attractive brother, one REALLY smart brother, and I think the rest of us got the left overs.

My mom was a baby machine for years. I think her hormones gave out by the time she got to me and I got all the reject parts that were left.

Decent.

I’m ugly and I still manage to get laid. I don’t really care. I’m not going to have a random woman want to fuck me in a alley but after a few hours LL JP.

I lived in the shadow of my sister (5 years older) my whole life. She is an extraordinary beauty, and really humble, smart and nice too.
My oldest sister (15 years older) is not only beautiful, but I call her my “magic sister.” She has a way of making time stand still and making the person in front of her feel like the most important person in the world. She is an awesome manager and inspires people to do great things.
Growing up around greatness has been tough, but challenged me to be my best. The older we get, the less intimidated I am and the more confidant I am in myself. I did have to move 1000 miles away to find my own identity though.

@johnpowell Because you CAN say that, and you STILL know it to be the truth is the exact reason you “Still get laid.” Women do not go for looks… They go for confidence because the point of interaction between us is on a primal level, safety and security.

You can only hang off a pretty boy jerk for only so long. It get’s very old very fast.

Your confidence implies a depth that insinuates long term… Even when it’s not. We play out the primal needs even through our most casual interactions

I’m an only child, so I don’t know what my siblings would look like. But I do wish I was taller. I think I got a pretty good set, other than that, but we’ll see what randomness pops up when I’m older.

@Blackberry You got all the good stuff… That’s why you’re hot! LOL

I don’t know about a bad deal, because I did inherit my father’s blue eyes…but instead of getting tan Italian skin, I got an Italian nose instead (which I hate on my face.) My mom has always had rally nice, thick hair, but mine is really thin. My grandmother looked like Audrey Hepburn when she was in her 20s, and I…don’t. sigh

Nope.

No, I’m very clueless when it comes to looks.

@martianspringtime I for one, happen to LOVE roman noses… I think they are the very best portion of Mediteranian faces.

Not really. My sister’s a bit more blessed than I am, but I feel the “bad genetic deal” happens mostly in the less visible things (like bladder issues, or a likelihood I’ll develop Alzheimer’s).

@YARNLADY You’re lucky.

Good enough

I never cared about my aspect or the ones I chose as friends. I avoided those who were “Apreciated” by others because I did not want shallowness around ^^

We all have our own blessings. Those who usually good looking lack other important things.

@GabrielsLamb O.o Thanks.

@Blackberry : p You’re welcome!

I like the way I look, but I’m short as hell. I’m still taller than both my parents, though.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I hate the way I look and I’m too damn tall for a girl.

I think we all get a bum rap sometimes… Depends on what you do with what you have I suppose.

I dated a guy that was short once when I was younger. I called him “The three legged boy.”

One tends to make up for the other when and where it is even a problem in the first place?

LOL

In my family I’m considered the pretty one and the smart one, but I’m not so sure the bar was set very high.

No, not really. Sure, my sisters are beautiful and most of my family are very smart. I am doing okay though. I am not a basement troll and I am doing okay in the intellectual stakes. So no. I agree with @Aethelflaed. If I was concerned about dipping out genetically, it would be in all the ailments and conditions that are there in my genetic history. I was definitely hiding behind the door when they handed out the longevity and long-term healthy human genes.

Judging by the way my parents look, I am not surprised or disappointed at all by the way I look (even being short and having a big nose). :P

Nah! I look like me, that’s all.

@stardust Thinking like you… no matter how beautiful you are… is a far more beautiful thing I think!

Kudos!

@DominicX You’re cute as a button honey! Don’t change a damn thing!

Eh, it all evened out. I got some good stuff, some bad. I only have half-siblings to compare, but we all rate about the same in looks. Hard to say about brains – my sister had a tough childhood and got in to drugs. I often wonder what she could be like…

It seemed like my older sister had gotten the best genes.

Very pretty.
Very athletic.
Very smart.
Very creative.
Very clever.
Very funny.
Very sensitive.
Very kind.

Turns out she’s also very schizophrenic.

I used to wish I was more like her.
These days, I’m hoping that I’m not.

@Nimis , your poor sister. :-(

@Judi Thanks. I think one of her strengths may have been part of her downfall. Don’t think really, really sensitive people are cut out for this world. At some point, you just start to lose it.

I do wish I had curly hair. But I wasn’t born malformed, blind or with some nasty disease or disorder, so I’ll refrain from complaining lol.

@Symbeline I like your hair the way it is! It suits you :D

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Thanks. ^^ :)

Not really, I find myself to be a fairly good looking man and I’m fairly physically fit, I could’ve used a better brain but that’s just me wanting to eat my cake and have it too.

@KidCurtis much like the body, the brain can be trained.

I got my dad’s tall gene and am 5’10”. Pretty tall for a lass. I always wanted to be little and cute and get away with stuff. Now though, without trying, I can be commanding when I need to be. My smaller female friends put that down to my height. I got my mum’s fair skin and her rosacea gene too. Luckily my girls, though tall, have their dad’s skin colouring so don’t burn after 10 seconds in the sun.

I’m an ONLY child (no pun intended), so I guess I got the good, and the bad. Either way, I’m happy. :
)

I’m an only child too, so no comparisons. I’m happy with the looks I received, I have never been the drop dead gorgeous glamourous type, more the cute, girl next door type.
I’m not complaining, I’ve had plenty of male attention in my life.

I do wish I’d have inherited my moms no weight gain figure though. She was 5’1 and never weighed more than 105 lbs. in her life. My dad was 6’3 and weighed in at about 240.

I gained 2.5 inches on my mom and my dads 40 lb. deficit if I am not kicking my own ass on a strict exercise regime though. Pffft!

No. I am perfectly happy, for the most part, with the way I look. Of course, I have hang ups every so often but on the whole I don’t feel bad about my appearance.

Poor Khloe, she does look a bit like a drag queen!

Hanging out with the“beautiful sister” today. For the first time in my 50 years I’m thinner than her.
