I'm not talking about losing weight or changing hair color, things that can be controlled, but what would you change from what your mama gave you?

Would you want different color eyes? Smaller nose? Bigger boobs? More hair? More athletic ability?

I would like to be taller. I'm 5-9, so I'm on the edge of short, so I wouldn't mind being closer to 6 feet.

Don't think it would have made a difference in my life, but I think people look at taller people differently than shorter people.
 
This 6-5 guy laughs at you while holding you at bay with a hand on the forehead.

I have really dry skin. I'm ashy as ****. I'd change that, especially with winter coming.
 
Depth perception and the ability to focus with both eyes at the same time.
 
I'd like to have normal vision. I'm near sighted in one eye, far sighted in the other so my depth perception is screwy as well.

Maybe I'm Huggy and I don't know it??

Smaller penis, less lush hair, less ripped physique...

In all seriousness I would like a smaller nose and feet.

You don't have feet?
 
Probably at the top of the list of things I've never forgiven my mother for is the fact she gave my siblings, but not me, height genes. I have always wanted to be tall.

However, if I had to trade certain other physical attributes for height I'd stay at 5'3"... OK, 5'2 3/4".
 
I wish I were faster. I could always hit OK, but my embarrassing lack of speed made me a total liability on the base paths and in the field, and I wasn't such a slugger that I could overcome any of that in the only sport that I was reasonably competitive in.
 
I guess I would like my rate of hair loss to slow, but that's about it.

And, OK, I wouldn't mind being more interesting looking. I'm pretty generic. Maybe get some pretty eyes like Aaron Rodgers or something.
 
How about the ability at 29 to grow facial hair at a pace that isn't lapped by most 16 year-olds?

Other than that, what I want to change are things that I can, like losing weight, which I am.
 
20/20 vision would be fabulous.
The first time I got really hammered and passed out, I woke up and thought normal vision had magically returned. I was so happy for like 30 seconds until I realized my contacts were still in. One of the best and worst days ever.
 
It's funny, I'm 6-3, but I would have killed to be 6-5 or 6-6.

I would have liked to keep my hair a little longer. I'm far from bald, but my hairline started receding pretty quickly as soon as I got into my late 20s.
 
Until I started traveling regularly, I wanted to be taller. Now, every time I fold myself up into an airplane seat, I'm glad to be not-quite-5-foot-7.

Otherwise, I'm pretty comfortable with my physical self. Dealt with the baldness by shaving my head completely, which has gotten good reviews. Could stand to lose a few pounds, but that goal is reachable.

The thing I would change: I get called "ma'am" on the phone and at drive-thru speakers more often than any woman on this board. I'm pretty sure my voice never changed.
