Tell me something awesome...

mandapanda78

... about yourself. I can't think of any "regs" around here who I'm not a little bit in love with (in a totally platonic way! ... mostly). Can you see what I see when I talk to you? I feel like women spend a lot of time looking at their faults for some reason, so get out the microscope and the feel-good pants and tell me what you think makes you awesome.

Me:

I'm fucking hilarious. Just ask mandy.

I'm really smart.

I'm kind to strangers.

I have a bleeding heart for animals.

I'm going to be an awesome mom.

I have gorgeous eyes/eyelashes.

I'm really honest (not everyone sees this as a good thing all the time).

emilyinchile

I like this idea!

I'm smart.
I'm loyal and a good friend.
I don't do bullshit - this is probably good and bad depending on your perspective, but I think it's a good thing.
I'm a good athlete, and I'm really proud of myself for that considering as a kid I was a chub who couldn't run a mile.
I'm funny, not in a telling jokes way but in a having the perfect one-liner response way. Not online really, but in person yes.

I totally agree that women are too hard on themselves, Manda. I am not saying all of them, but quite a few of the ones I know.

-I love kids and can't wait to become a certified teacher someday....soon.
-I try to be a good Christian and do the right thing always even though it is hard sometimes
-My H means the world to me
-I am not a kiss ass or a two faced person. I can't stand that sh!t.

ootmother2

I'm a strong and independent woman

I've been working in a man's business all my life and haven't become a "broad"

I have awesome green eyes (my best feature)

I can wear my daughter's clothes and sometimes they're too big

I'm at the end of a 6 year physical disability and I haven't gone BSC yet. (I think)

umm

ETA: I'm a great mom

alixzafiris

I have blonde eyelashes. Thus, I hate you

- I can be funny (mostly unintentionally but you know... occasionally it happens).
- I'm loyal like a damn pitbull. It can be scary.
- I can practically run hurdles in five inch stilettos. I think that's awesome, at least.
- I have zero patience for stupid. Again, I think that's awesome... I'm sure other people think it's bitchy
- I have a knack for discovering new music.
- I'm a whiz with linguistics. Like... a whiz.
- I have the only set of brown eyes and left-handedness in my whole family.

Manda, I like this idea too.

I'm a damn good cook. Even though FI wasn't very into my cooking style at first, he loves everything I make now.

I'm pretty smart, partially because I have a really good memory. I can remember all kinds of random facts. I think this makes me a good friend too, I can usually remember what's going on in other people's lives.

I know myself and I am pretty confident about my stregnths and aware of my weaknesses.

Rosie109

I will give my friends and loved ones everything I have to make them happy.
I have pretty nice legs.
I have learned to love my hair color.
I am very patient.
I can be pretty quick with one-liners sometimes.

cengle

I'm smart and ambitious
I'm independent
I haz pretty blue eyes
I'm great with kids
I'm very protective of those I care about
I'm silly (I consider this a good thing, and luckily for me, H does too!) and therefore, fun to be around

opalsky007

I'm smart.

I can reach the things on the top shelf that you can't.

I'm a good listener.

I'm a good teacher.

I can bake you just about anything you want, and it'll be effing fantastic.

I'm in the Air Force, and I fly F-15s.  And no, the guys don't look like Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer:-)  Most of them are actually kinda nerdy, in a good way.  But they are really nice, and awesome to work with, like brothers to me.  I love my job because it always challenges me and keeps me humble.

I am a people-pleaser.
I like everyone around me to be happy, even though it isn't always possible.

I have pretty green eyes. My eyelashes are sort of thin, but they are striking against the green when I wear mascara.
I have very few wrinkles, mostly just a couple of laugh lines around my eyes. And I love those.
I love my family.
I have great hands. Palms are regular size, but I have extra-long fingers.
I like that I'm a blend of characteristics/features of both sides of my family.
