  I inherited my mother's oily facial skin, which has enabled me to live 50 years without having to moisturize.  8)

I'm stunningly attractive.
I'm the smartest person on the entire planet.
I'm always 100% correct in judging a person's character at first meeting, whether online or in person.
I am, in every possible way, absolutely glorious.
I'm incredibly humble.

  Differences in pain thresholds interest me.  I wonder whether my toothaches have been relatively mild,
  since they haven't made me cry.  They've certainly been bad enough, with an entire quadrant
  of my face getting involved each time.

I can hear very well and have a knack for analyzing what I DO hear.  (emo)

I have a cast iron stomach. :headbang2:
I can grow a longish beard that random strangers often compliment.  :LOL:
I can shoot a handgun better than the average policeman. (contests have proven) :police:

Must have some kinda gene that makes me really tall. It's an advantage as it means people are less likely to get into fights with me due to an intimidating size but a disadvantage due to the dyspraxia and whatnot.

An offensive lineman for the N.O.

My wisdom teeth are perfectly formed normal molars. They came through when I was 14, and caused me no discomfort at all. When I had to have one extracted last June due to an infection in the root, the procedure only took a couple of minutes of very hard pulling and the whole thing came out in one piece. I didn't need stitches, and it healed completely within a fortnight.

  That's excellent.  One of my molars is still tilted in its socket from the pressure the wisdom tooth
  was beginning to put on it while trying to erupt.  I didn't realize that had happened until I saw
  a mold of my teeth, all relatively straight except for the sort of sideways one in back.  :tard:

As I have gotten older (nearly 40) I have become less tolerant about being touched. Holding hands and firm hugs are fine but if anything else is expected I would say no. I have tried sex in different ways in the past and have decided that it just isn't for me.

  I'm OK with about a 3-second hug.  If it lingers too much longer, I start to feel trapped.  It isn't a
  sensory problem, more a feeling of discomfort at being "taken out of my head," because I live

  I'm OK with about a 3-second hug.  If it lingers too much longer, I start to feel trapped.  It isn't a

My body is one of my senses. Just like I need my eyes and my ears I need my body to interpret the world. I'm very sensitive, but also have a high pain tolerance to most things. I can feel that things are wrong without noticing pain.

I love hugs. They ground me. But hugs from someone not wanted are horrible or estranging me from the world. It's what I love a lot about meeting my family. The big tight hugs. No claims, nothing else going on, just big hugs. Kind of animal like thing, with us.

I can do same with my eyes. Never practiced it; just discovered it one day.

Ocular dominance can go to either eye, but I can roll either one around, top, lower, Right Left, and maintain visual acuity with the one which stays focused.

I generally only do it to freak someone out. I have found no other use for such a talent.

I find the world a much more amusing experience that way CBC, that is, if I devote as little time as possible to that kind of social processing, I more or less just let things run at subsistence level to keep my ass attached to the rest of me and let the :autism: beast run loose.

  Yeah, I just need to up my game regarding the subsistence level.  As I age, I'm seeing

I didn't mean subsistence level GENERALLY speaking.

I was referring specifically to wetware resources devoted to faking it and coming across NT-esque-ish...sometimes..kinda sort of.

I just make sure to keep enough gas flowing to that burner to keep the ashes in the fireplace from freezing over, and sufficient to both avoid someone tearing my head off and stuffing it up my arsehole, and to realize it if they are ABOUT to do same.

Otherwize, I let my spazz hang out. Its not so much my letting my inner autie OUT, as stopping any OUTER NT getting IN. Not that its much effort, I just have occasionally to hold back an accidental sugar coating on that which I speak, and strangle it in the cradle before it has time to squeal and shit all over itself.

Just about where that should be, both The PR and I have a small slit/gouge in the rolled part of our left ear.  That's how I knew she was my child when I first saw her.

I also have a notch in my left upper ear. It's not natural, it's from an earring getting ripped out when I was a kid while brushing my hair. I usually wear my hair over my ears so it's not often noticed. I've been told it's sexy because it looks like a cat that's been in a fight, so whenever anyone ever happens to notice it and ask what happened, I always say, cat fight.   :zoinks:

QV-shouldn't the fact that after a roughly 9 month duration the PR popped out of..well..the obvious?

Well, because she was transverse breech, she was a C-Section.  I had a glimpse of her before they took her to the NICU, standard procedure for c-sections.  When they brought her to me the next day, I thought she looked Oriental.  Black hair and eyes, slight slant to the eyes. Wasn't sure if they gave me the right baby.  But our ears told the tale.
Title: Re: Born that way: Discuss your natural advantages
Post by: Lestat on January 09, 2017, 03:28:28 PM
Transverse breech, I assume means sideways?

The one pic I've seen of the PR, she really does have the most absolutely gorgeous eyes.  I hope you don't think ill of me for it, but I've even had dreams of looking into those bige dark eyes and woken up shaky. Not in a bad way, as a nightmare would or can do..but...just....fuck me diagonnally with a rusty weasel and call me mary mother of god on a bike...the PR's eyes are absolutely stiunning. What i wouldn't give for the sight of them in front of me. Just...wow.
With those alone, even if she were wearing a paper bag with only eye and breathing holes cut in it would surprise me little if she could pull any guy (and indeed many girls if she was inclined to tr...sod try, inclined to do it. As I don't think there would be any trying required, for trying implies possibility of failure) Those really are a knockout set of peepers :)


For some reason, of active users here, the PR's eyes remind me quite a bit of DFG's.

Myself, mine are a grey and light blue color (both the same, that is, I'm not heterochromic, although I wouldn't at all mind having say, one green eye and one totally metallic shade of dark grey. Or green and purple if I had a choice. Either that or hazel like my stalker,   if it wasn't for the fact that well near the moment i spoke on a mesenger client with her, and for that matter, after exchanging a first few PMs, she already had me captivated, although at the time she had no idea whatsoever. She in fact, didn't believe me at first, she thought I must be joking until I had no choice but to word things in a completely frank, and utterly no holds barred fucking well dirty way, as to what I wished, and still would, to do to her right then and there on the spot in a downright lewd and filthy manner, and even then, reinforced same by, well, resorting to some rather graphic descriptions:P

Since she was near 50, she just didn't think I could possibly find her attractive. When in fact, I'd already fallen for her before I knew what she looked like. And once I'd SEEN a picture...a completely non-indecent one, I mean, made me feel like I'd just gained sight after  years of being blind. Even now, I cannot help but have my heartbeat start racing if I so much as see someone on a TV ad, or in a program who so much as has a facial feature, that reminds me of her, like say, similar cheek bone structure, or reminding me of the way T-K's mouth does that sexy little way the corners of her mouth kinda quirk upwards into a pair of fine lines whenever I am lucky enough to have the privilege and honour of seeing her smile, or like it does the same when she is asleep.

Lol I know that hyke. It was simply my mildly humorously intended reference to the fact that if giving birth forwards, as per usual is uncomfortable enough already, breech births bad news, SIDEWAYS doesn't sound like it would be much fun in the slightest. Not, of course that I'd wish that on QV, although of course she had a C section. And of course, I am most glad that this planet now has a PR on it. Very happy indeed about that fact:)

  I have a pretty good sense of balance and I can carry things nice and level. This was
  pointed out to me once at my former dishwashing job when someone saw me carrying a stack of
  trays laden with glasses, and keeping them nice and level.  I once was carrying a sheet pan loaded with
  sandwiches at my current job when my right ankle folded and I started to fall.  Somehow I landed hard
  on my left knee, still holding the sheet pan level.  I didn't lose even one half of one sandwich.  :2thumbsup:
