Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

I'll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

In the same vein I have odd shaped feet. They are very narrow at the heel but get really wide at the ball of my foot. My sister used to tell me I had tennis racket feet. Never found shoes that would fit. Regular would be too tight on my toes but wide would be too loose on my heels.

That was until I found Altra. They actually make shoes that fit my foot shape. Consequently, they stopped me from getting shin splints too.

Right now? I'm a 6'2" pasty white guy in Asia (or Casper per my favourite overheard discussion).

I'm currently taller and very much paler than those who grew up in this area.

I have red curly hair and I tend to wear big hats and sunglasses in the summer, and I find that makes people (read: men) stare at me. Idk.

I'm also fanatically polite and nice in person, and people respond a lot. Bad manners is my pet peeve.

I'm a pretty good engineer. Not the best I've ever met by a long shot, but I'm good. But I'm very outgoing for an engineer.

Ironically, that'd describe both my parents too.

I have been told multiple different times by a number of different people that I have an attractive clavicle and shoulders.

I've got an outie

I have a fair amount of freckles. I don't come from or live in an area where it's very common.

Considering I'm in the most colonially-connected state in the US, everything. If someone saw me, their reaction would be how little I remind them of the hunt.

Nothing. I avoid going outside as much as possible and I'm wearing earbuds all the time. So people leave me alone.
