Can You Describe Yourself Without Telling Us Your Physical Appearance?

What do you look like to a person who cannot see you? You can't say you have blue or brown eyes, the color of your hair etc. Can you use words that would truly show how beautiful you are? After all, in the end, it is the beauty on the inside that makes others fall in love.
I am not very tall, but that's okay. I am very fast and I love being stealthy--easier to do when you're small. My hair is shoulder length, pretty dark and out of control when the weather gets dry. My eyes are apparently very big but sad. Therefore I smile a lot to compensate the sadness. I'm not sad very often. People tell me I have a gentle spirit -- that's kind of nice -- and a very quiet speaking voice though it seems I laugh very loudly. I love to easily, am too lenient with my children, but I can hold a grudge or two. Yet, I am also forgiving. I will drive a hundred miles if you need a shoulder to cry on and if I had a million dollars I would adopt all the homeless and hungry children of the world.

I am male, of cuddly build. I am true to me friends and will never break a promise. I would sooner that you rode and I walked but I wouldn't mind a lift! LOL. I'm fairly cheerful and I love to hug. I cry very easily. If I had a million dollars I'd pay the winter heating bill for as many housebound elderly folk as possible.

You sound like a wonderful person. If I had to describe myself I would say that I have a big, easy smile. I have an unrelenting honesty that sometimes gets me in trouble. I am powerfully built and have very masculine features. My eyes speak volumes and I always wear my heart on my sleeve. I can be pretty stern with my kids and I have been told that sometimes my face is a bit grumpy. This couldn't be further from the truth. I always try and look on the bright side and I am the defender of all things small and furry. Beware though that I have a memory like an elephant and I will remember you if you hurt someone that can't defend themselves. And much like you if I had a million dollars I would take care of thos ewho cannot do so for themselves. How's that?

out of control when the weather gets dry means nothing to a blind person they do not know what hair looks like or what out of control means, in your face is a better description,
I am fat, lots of extra weight that shows in lumps and bumps on my body,
my hair is to my neck,
I have a big nose
small red lips
weak ankles
crooked fingers from arthritis
I don't smile alot
I am friendly, intelligent, good listening, good friend and companion.

You know, a wise King once said that anyone who can find a good wife is richer than any other man. A good mother . . . well, that's just priceless.

Hmm. It's easier for me to describe myself without telling you what I look like, actually, heh.
I'm a very curious and quiet individual, I'm usually seen with a book and you normally do not hear me approach. I'm only a chatter-box with those I know very well, and when I'm in a particularly good mood (which is less often than people'd like to think).
I'm told that I have "old eyes"...in that my eyes seem to say that I've lived longer than I have to accumulate some sort of wisdom or knowledge that no one else knows.
I have a hard time smiling, so most people think my "thinking face" (which is the face I normally wear, since I'm always thinking) is a sad or angry face.
My voice sounds my age, that is...young. However, sometimes the youngness isn't noticed because I tend to speak with authority (even though I'm not usually aiming for that).
I'm something of a hermit, I shy away from alot of social contact and enjoy being alone. I'm a bookworm and a little bit strange as a rule. I talk to animals, plants, the weather, and inanimate objects. I'm fond of sharp and shiny objects -- as is exampled by my owning several swords and knives.
My problem is I care too much. I've been known to deprive or hurt myself in order to help, be kind to, or save someone else (this is part of how I tend to be something of a self-destructive personality lol). I'm OFTEN doing something for the poor, working toward a cause via activism or blogging...even though I'm usually dealing with my own problems.
I live by a code, and I do not forgive--everyone gets the same "three strikes you're out" rule...and I'll put up with alot before I get nasty on a person...at least for my own behalf. I'm quickly vengeful against those who hurt people I know, or strangers on the street. I try to be spiritual.
I'm also a workaholic.
Lol.
I'm a bit of a scatterbrain with this response, gtar! I don't usually describe myself, heh ^_^

Very nice X. It's amazing how we can describe ourselves better without the physical attributes coming into the picture. You sound like a very interesting and wonderful person. I love swords and daggers also. Every good book has them.

I am a happy person. I always make people laugh. And it gives me a good feeling considering how hard life is nowadays. I also like helping others. Not only in financial means but more of on how to deal with life. I am not an expert but somehow, my experiences taught me a lot of lessons in life that I always wanted to share with others.

I am medium height with a few girlish/sexy curves. My hair is just above my shoulders and I would like to grow longer. It can get out of control if I don't try to tame it before I go out. I wear glasses which can hide my eyes, but I know how to bring them out. I love to smile and it is hard to find me not smiling. I am quiet, but when you get me laughing it can be contageous.

You said alot about yourself in one short paragraph. You are someone who is very caring and someone I would like to get to know better. You have beautiful qualities.
I am a very fun person. I love life, love to laugh and love parties. When I am with people, I am perfectly content. I love jokes and really don't take life too seriously unless it's necessary. I love spending time with our kids and will do anything they need whether it be emotionally or financially. All three were a special gift. I donate money and food to the needy and have a special place in my heart for parents who adopt children. Think my best qualities are: I am honest and reliable. Good discussion.

Some of your description we see in your avatar. I guess I would say I am a curious person, who loves to learn things. Sometimes I sound loud, strict or harsh, but those who know me know I am a softy. I throw myself heartily into whatever I am doing. I love things that are colorful and musical. I am muscular, with a layer of cushion over all. Medium tall, with medium hair that does whatever it wants to do at the time. I tend to really HEAR people, when I listen to them and am appreciated for that. I have a sense of doing what is right, even when I am the only one who knows it.

Well... I'm not tall compared to friends in my age (I'm even the smallest one in my class but that's never really a problem), tanned, and wavy, jet black hair that cascades past my shoulders. I wear glasses even since I was in elementary school. I'm quite artistic and I love to draw on my sketchbook, sometimes when the teacher is explaining something in front of the class I would just take my pencil and sketchbook and start to draw something and don't even bother to listen. I'm kind of short-tempered and gets annoyed pretty easily but in comparison it's very easy to make me laugh.

I am a lousy person and a sure loser, I believe. If a blind man were to ask how I looked I would tell him he's lucky he doesn't have to endure my person. Nobody is there when I look for them and my presence seems like an imposition when I do find them. This tells me I'm such a loser. People do look for me when they need something. Btw, I'm happy. Cheers!!

I am an illusion, a shadow, an ephemeral flame lightened by the hands of time. My eyes will cover your soul with sadness while covering your dreams with drops water from a long forgotten orphan sea of dreams and hopes.
My lips might seal your destinty into a world of smiles, but eventually they will be lost into the mists of life. Only then you'll be able to hear my voice... and recognize that echo from your past that used to invade your dreams, long time ago.
My phisical apparence? Just some lines scratched on a piece of glass...
I hope is ok :p

Hello there, I am visiting mylot again after a LONG time (almost after 5 months), and its sure good to be back. You are the first disucssion am responsing to.:D
Anyway, congratulations on creating a good discussion! I am all about love, kindness and I have a lot of warmth in me, easier for people to approach me. I love my family and it hurts when I see someone sad. I love to lend a patient ear and a shoulder to cry on but I usally don't talk about my own troubles. I fiercely protect the ones I love and am loyal to my friends. Am fiery, passionate, loud, aggressive, hot-tempered, sometimes wild...not a gentle spirit like you I suppose but nevertheless a good person at heart.:)
If I had a million dollars, I'd try to make the world a happier place too!:)
Happy Mylotting!

Well, yes.I can describe myself physically - but not in one word. like for instance the word "ugly" can't be used, the latter is an exact description of a physical appearance; however, without telling directly the said physical appearance, a description can be made. like, I got eyes that are black, hair that is wavy in form, nose that is not pin pointed...etc.

There is no need of physical appearance to describe oneself. I believe you are better described by your character. If i get to know stranger for some time over the net or chat I can tell how he or she will be. Anyway I am a jovial person, witty, don't lose my head, but yes do get my mood off when my partner or friend do the same. but at first instance i don't lose my control. I like all type of entertainment. I like exercising getting good physique and stylish.

Your words affected me deeply. There are much likeness between us. I'm a very kind but vulnerable girl. I like music, when I'm sad I always drop tears, I like to play the piano and be alone. I can get along with others easily.
