What do/did you want to look like?

Post Reply New Topic

Have you wanted to look different that you do? I have, never to the point of depression or anything like that and I am not like this all the time, but I have had moments in my life when I wanted to look different.

This is what I look like:



(I am the one with long brown hair)

I have had moments in my life where I wanted to have blonde, straight hair that grew quickly. I have also wanted to have paler skin and blue yes (I am not sure if my eyes are red in this photo but if they are, my eyes are very dark brown).

I have always found those traits attractive, plus my first best friend had blonde straight hair, blue eyes and pale skin so maybe that's why.

I am content enough with my looks, it is just that sometimes I wish I looked different.

What about you?

all the timee
i'm pale with blue eyes and i've always wanted to be darker like you. i'm the only uber-white person in my family
and i want big curly hair
brown eyes
full lips
dark eyebrows
broader shoulders
fatter legs
i could go on
and on
and on

There was a time in my life that I wanted to look like Ray Davies in the body and the face, but without the dental gap. I've accepted the fact that I look a lot more like Mick Avory.

Ray's the one with the tiny waist, and Mick is the one holding the drum sticks.

I was 21 at the time.

^lol sure, whaffor?

I have wanted to have clear skin, but otherwise have never had any specific idea of how I would like to look.

Only ever wanted to change three features, I want broader shoulders (mine are like a size to small), less hairy legs (seriously, I have had really hairy legs since I was 2), and less backnee (I don't have very bad acne on my face, but I have really bad acne on my back/chest).

I was born about perfect myself, but I could use a better posterior I guess... and a couple extra inches in height.

tl;dr - I hate my body and the way I look. I look plain/below average in real life, but I wish I could look like a supermodel.

Long version:

I wanted to be taller... I'm of average height for an American woman (5'7"), but when I was a child, all my doctors said that I would grow to be at least 5'9". I was disappointed with having average height.

I know this might sound crazy, but I wish I had smaller breasts. My breasts are proportional to my body, but I find smaller breasts to be more attractive on other women (all of my favorite actresses have small breasts), and I wish I had some on myself to help me look more androgynous.

Speaking of wanting to look androgynous, I hate having such a round face and short neck. It makes short haircuts look unflattering on me. I wish I had a more angular face and longer neck so I could pull off having hair the length I want it.

My bottom is way too small. I have all these curves in front (for better or for worse, depending on other peoples' preferences) and absolutely nothing in the back. At least some women who are overweight can claim that they have a nice booty, but I can't make that claim.

I'm not happy with the shape of my nose. It's kind of snubby, like a piggy's. I want an angular nose.

My eyes are too small and beady. I am jealous of women who have big, expressive eyes.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes, which I'm happy with, but they are too dark of a shade. In photographs, my hair looks brown and my eyes look almost black. I'm jealous of my younger brother, because his blonde hair and blue eyes are much brighter in shade.

When I was younger, I used to hate having thick-textured and wavy hair. I wanted thin, straight hair. But I find that over the years, I have come to accept my hair's thickness and waves (again, probably influenced by my favorite actresses).

And, of course, I wish I could be a lot thinner. But my willpower always loses to my love of unhealthy food. I've been on 3 or 4 diets between the ages of 18 and the present, and all of them have ended in failure.

I want to look like Richey Edwards or Johnny Marr. IRL, I look average to bad.

NO ACNE PLEASE. I've also gained 40 pounds in the last 8 months... lol depression and medicine that makes you crave carbs. I ate all the time. D: I want to be back to my normal weight and I'm working towards it.
My skin is naturally oily and a yellowish color and seems to retain tan really well. I was brown when I was in the sun all the time as a child. So I'm kind of on the darker-ish side for a white person considering natural skin color.
I'm pretty German in overall appearance. I'm fine with it.

I wouldn't really want to change anything else at the moment.

when i was a teenager i wanted to be beautiful more than anything else in the world. i think if i had just believed that i was beautiful already, it would have transformed my life. but i wouldn't be the person i am today if i had thought differently about my appearance back then.

to me, beautiful meant tall, blonde flowing wavy hair, broad shoulders, skinny, big breasts, big lips, big blue eyes, tiny nose.... basically Barbie

I want a bigger bum, wider hips, a narrower waist, narrower shoulders, better posture, a less point nose, less sticky out ears.

When I was in high school I wanted more than anything to have brown eyes. Now I am very happy with the colour they are.

I'm kind of mad at myself now because I've put on some weight with the holidays, colder weather, and what is seemingly a perpetual cold. I have a bad habit of exercising to control a big appetite and fairly poor defined dietary habits. I guess at some point I need to learn better how to modify my diet relative to the energy I'm burning. As soon as this cold disappears, I'll probably disappear from here until I have got myself back into shape and have my routine back in place. Exercise also seems to get my mind back to functioning halfway efficiently.

Other than that, I would say I'm pretty average.
I have bigger shoulders and a fairly athletic build, but I'm not a bodybuilder.
Average looks leaning toward more masculine
Normal height range
Personality is probably goofier than for my own good
As they say I am probably dumber than I look

btw, you definitely have the cute factor thing going on, OCD. I almost forget the feeling of what it is like to be your age. Is the guy someone famous or a family member? And while I don't know about the rest of you, I have seen a picture of Idaho and I think she underestimates herself by a great deal.
