Stolen poll: what are you happy/unhappy with...
That subject line just isn't long enough.
Anyway, in dating, what about you (physically or emotionally/personality wise) are you self conscious about, and what are you most proud of?

Re: Stolen poll: what are you happy/unhappy with...
Most proud of:
-Good listener
-Fair fighter
-Exceedingly affectionate (but not in a creepy PDA way)
-Do not get bent out of shape easily
-Tiger in the sack
Self conscious about:
-Excessive body hair
-Possibility of farting in sleep
-Random spurts of jealousy
-Can never decide where to go for dinner
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
I'm guessing here, because I haven't started dating yet, lol.
Proud of:
I'm fun
I know a lot about football
I have nice, big boobs
I'm super laid back and usually up for anything (I know, cliche, but true, really)
Self conscious about:
My sweaty, stinky feet
I'm very hairy
Is that where your screen name comes from?
I'm most proud of:
great listener (although I'm a selective listener to everyone else), great caregiver, I'm up for anything
I'm self conscious of:
my stretch marks and loose skin on my stomach, letting the other person know how much I care of them in fear of getting hurt, my legs (I can shave them and still get a 5 o'clock shadow sometimes)
I had this problem too but read some where if you take your deodorant to the bottom of you feet before putting your shoes on, it will help keep them from sweating. Powders and sprays tend to cause more bacteria. I started doing this and it works like a charm.
Most proud of:
-outgoing personality
-ability to talk to anyone (make conversation)
-I always look put together
-I look damnn good in a pair of jeans and heels (those squats and lunges pay off)
-confidence
-sense of humor
-
Most self conscious about:
-I had a weird skin rash thing on my back, upper arms, and stomach. I went to the dermatologist and got some medicine so it's fading but the dr said it will take a few months for all of the pigment to come back in my skin. So if I try to wear something that won't show my back and/or bare shoulders
-the fact that I've been single for so long. Even though I know it doesn't mean anything I often wonder if someone will be like "why are you still single" and put negative meaning to it
-anything that has to do with XH. Obviously this wouldn't come up for awhile but the things I went through with him are terrible, but not a reflection on ME as a person. But some people could see that differently.
Proud of:
Funny, caring, loyal and I do a really good job of making conversation/making people feel good about themselves.
Self Conscious of:
The extra flab around my tummy
Kissing (I never really mastered this...)
General looks overall
Happy - tall, hot, awesome hair, have nice clothes, very funny, can talk to anyone
Unhappy - my stomach is bigger than I would like
Good:
Awesome rack.
Hourglass figure
I can pretty much go along with anything...casual or fancy, dine with wine or throwback a beer, sports or the arts.
My friendly dissposition
Unhappy:
I've got thick legs. i'm trying to lose weight, and while I've lost a few inches, I've gained lbs...must be muscle because I gain it easily
My lovehandles
I can be shy/quiet.
Good:
Pretty decent figure
Fairly quick wit
I can speak relatively intelligently about a fairly wide variety subjects
I'm an excellent cook!
I'm pretty good about not getting jealous or being overbearing
Unhappy:
Stomach has a little extra there
Painfully shy
Terrible at making small talk
I'm Italian and therefore, hairy
Itty bitty titty committee founding member
Proud:
I'm smart and witty. I think I'm easygoing, or at least I'm not picky about random things. I have good anecdotes. Physically, I've got a nice rack.
Self conscious:
Uh, everything else! My looks are the major hang-up. I'm always the friend of the hot girl, a professional wing woman if you will. I'm basically built like Joan from Mad Men, just in a shorter, plainer package. I'd kill to spend a day as a tall slender blonde!
I'm also a natural introvert, so it takes me a while to let my guard down. It's the major reason why hooking up was never my cup of tea. Well, that and the chub around my middle and on my thighs.
Proud:
I'm funny and adventurous. I will try mostly everything once. Actually prefer to be one of the guys.
Self Conscious:
I can be overbearing. I am okay with my body since losing 100lbs, but I'm still fluffy. I've got attention and abandonment issues
Happy with:
My personality, always take time on my appearance, able to talk to anyone, outgoing, fun, large boobs.
Unhappy/insecure with:
My height. I am 5'10, small boned and skinny, however, I hate being so tall because I can't rock amazing heels with jeans. I wear flat boots or cute flats (oxymoron, I know). I only wear a tiny heel with pencil skirts every day at work and just want to feel confidant in great heels! Most people say they would love to be my height, but not when dating...I stress about it! I have a date this Friday and am already stressing over this:) AAHHHHH!!!
