Honestly I've never wished I had anyone else's anything-
looks, body, personality, etc.

I've gotten compliments my entire life....
People who stop me on the street, to tell me they'd kill for my figure even, lol

So no.
I don't get people who do, though.
If you're unhappy w/ anything regarding your looks, do something to improve it.
Workout, lose weight, change your hair, etc.
No excuses in my book

I don't know...I get my fair share of compliments on my figure (from women & men), but there are days when I wish I had someone else's bod. I've just always tried to keep things in perspective.

I used to do this all the time. Would see guys who were ripped and cut and wanted to look like them. Realizing that was very unhealthy and trying to work on me.

No I don't. I don't compare myself to other people. I just try to be the best I can be in this body with this face. :-)

If I see someone witha beautiful figure I think...they look great.

I'm happy with the way I look and I'm 40.

Gigantism (I'm 7' tall) but my legs are deformed so one is longer than the other, spine totally curved, can't stand without two sticks, got a deformed head, which is misshapen, basically very odd.

Same here. I also know where i could make improvements, and i'll grt around to it. But in the meanwhile i work with what i have and try to look reasonably well put together. Modt of the features i admire most might be attainable for me. But i do get slightly envious of people with long torsos. . That's a proportion i can't get.

Back on topic....

Yes, I have always envied others' figures. My face and hair (and booty) were my pride but my figure has always had a lot of flaws. On the other hand, I don't think I would have traded faces with any of the women whose figures I wish I had, so that puts things into perspective for me.

Yes I hate myself because I live in a town with an inordinately sexy population. That being said, I focus on my positive attributes. I may be fat but I'm also as smart as a whip and am pretty popular!

I have a pretty good life, and after a while I've accepted in never going to find love. So I'm lonely but I focus on what positives I can

That sounds rather depressing but remember this: there are women out there that would actually prefer what you look like because of your rarity. I'm being totally honest. I am an attractive woman and get plenty of attention from men, yet the only types of men that catch my eye are the ones who have something that makes them stand out from the rest.... very short men, very tall men, something peculiar about them, anything that makes them very different -- very *something* or another that makes me feel like they're 1 in a million. I know there are women out there who'd love and desire you the way you are.

Embrace your uniqueness...
