Well, my gene pool is pretty much a mish-mash of Europe, so I guess having a two-toned beard isn't all that odd. Red and dark brown (maybe it's black, I have a hard time distinguishing the difference in the mirror...) work together at least. And it helps cover up a fairly weak chin. Other than that, I was lucky to get a decent bone structure in the face.

He has the PERFECT goatee! He never has to shave off extra and trims it like once a month! There are men out there who spend hundreds of dollars buying the tools you need to get what he has naturally on his face! He's so lucky! I on the other hand am Scottish, which means it's hard to find a spot on me where there isn't hair!

I'm sure there are lots of good traits along with what everyone's mentioning~!
I don't think I've got it too bad, x)
I think the only thing I don't like about myself is that I tan too easily?
...and I don't like being all tan, so I stay inside the house, which is totally fine by me! :3

GTR has amazing eyes, he's tall, muscular, and his hair that he hates grows into gorgeous ringlets. There's a lot of good traits he didn't mention you're right!

I have a lot of issues with my genetics. *sulks*
My family has a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and bad eyesight coming from one side or the other and occasionally both sides.
I have somewhat odd teeth and a tendency to grate them, which makes them worse - both from my dad; I'm very short and have a slow metabolism, which means I have to really watch my diet, from my mom; I'm very pale and cannot tan, which also came from my dad (but that's not too bad, because I like being pale); I've got weird hair that's neither straight nor curly and an odd nose from my mom, and general stuff like that.
On the plus side of the genetic pool, however, I did manage to luck into the 'hourglass' shape, I've got pretty good skin, I've been told I have nice eyes and good bone structure, and being short and small means that I never had that awkward phase where I tripped over everything, including my own feet.
Taken altogether - it's not perfect, but it's mine, and it could have been much, much worse.
This has been another episode of My TL;DR Ranting.

My hair and face is always greasy so I have bad acne which completly blows and I'm small in every sense of the word. But I don't consider myself unlucky. I could be worse.

Hey man, I can grow a beard in just about a week. Now that gets exspensive. I am blonde, blue-eyed, and a big a** Scottish nose is planted in the middle of my face (anywhere else and it'd be just weird). Trade ya. Any of ya.

Gray hairs were the bane of my existence for the longest time. And to some degree still are, I am 28 and I am already half gray. I started going gray at 14, no joke. Sitting in class at the beginning of high school I found my first full gray and shortly after a bunch more. My mother started at 18 and my father at 16...I also inhered my father's bushy eyebrows. So without proper waxing (which my parents didn't allow me to do) it looks like I have two fuzzy caterpillars on my forehead. So in high school I didn't get a whole lot of dates.
However now I am in charge and I have stopped dying my hair and I am trying to let it go pure silver now. Once it does I am going to buy some really great elf ears than Nero LARP here I come!

Aside from odd allergies/asthma that make me congested....and occasionally stop breathing if it's from IV dye...I did pretty darn well.
Genetically speaking there is a history of everything bad from cancer to diabetes...heck one distant relative died of AIDS, but that's not genetic. Somehow I've got none of it. Even when I was really overweight, my vitals were always good, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol concerns, no anemia, nothing. And we've got great longevity!
I'm way thinner now, so my health is even better. Yay for being less fat!
As for the physical stuff, we are purely European thus far. So I've got greenish blue eyes. Green one day, blue the next. Weird, but way cool. Vision's not perfect, but correctable so no biggie there. I got full lips (make up counter ladies hate that I don't need lip liner) and nice pale skin. Thick brown hair, slightly wavy. Just got my first gray hair in December....plucked it to show it off, so now it's gone. No new ones yet. European as I am, I've got slightly dark body hair, but that is easily removed...but my arm hair is remarkably blond. Good teeth, though they could use a little whitening. And I love my bone structure.
Someone told me I had the perfect face to pull off a gothic look. She meant it as a compliment, but I never found the gothic look all that attractive. Still I guess if other recognize my genetic good points, I must be doing pretty well.
