Name one thing...and NO apologies!!

The sexuality thread and a few others have gotten me to thinking...this applies to women especially, in my experience, but men feel free to chime in too. When you ask a woman what she likes about herself, the answers usually center on inner beauty. I am a great mom, I am smart, I am a hard worker, etc. But if you ask her to name something about her PHYSICAL self that she likes, it seems the answers are so difficult, or they come with apologies or caveats. I like my nose but hate my mouth...or my big boobs balance out my too-big hips, I would love my hair IF it weren't so frizzy. Well, no more of that crazy talk! Why do we feel the need to apologize for something good about our looks? Everyone, please, tell me at least one thing that you love about the way you look. No excuses, no IFs or BUTs, no disclaimers. Look in the mirror and for once, just admit that you have hotness staring back at you! It doesn't make you excessively vain, I promise!! Here are mine --I have the most rocking calves ever. They are really well-muscled, and when I wear heels they have such fab definition and curve that strangers on the street have commented on them. --I also have a great smile, and it comes very readily and unselfconsciously.

I love my curly hair. I love my smile. I love my "V" taper into my small waist. And, above all, I love my body's power; its ability to respond quickly to both strength training and rehabilitative treatment. (Oh, and I love, LOVE, L.O.V.E. this super-positive thread!)
