Pretty much what it says on the tin. I come from a seventh generation of frankly Amazonian women. All hold a City & Guilds qualification in filling slinky underwear, & they come in a charming variety of skintones.... So why the frick am I dumpy, pale, & wrestling a crop top to the god damn ground?!!.. Today I'm waving my returns receipt high in the air & demanding a trade up for ffs!

If you could what would you more than willing exchange?

    My height!

    My family isn't amazonian, but I'm still the shortest one... at 5'3, even the 12 yr olds are taller than me :(

    And having white hair already. I've had it since gr 8 :( and now I have white eyebrows/lashes too, so that sucks. That's also genetics, couple of my cousins have this too

    I'll keep the pale and the short....i've adjusted to this overtime and feel i've learned to rock it.

    however, I'll trade the brown, faulty-vision eyes, the crooked teeth, and the giant nose.

    My lineage is made up of sheep herders and their charges. I'd like to be less woolly and stand more upright.

    Everyone in my family has either ice blue or really light green eyes. My brother can't go out without an attractive female randomly coming up and going on and on about them and we are basically twins with that being the only noticeable difference.

    I got screwed with hunter green eyes. I've been pissed off about this since I was little. I know its dumb but whatever.

    Green > blue when it comes to eyes.

    My legs are short and thick. I want thin runner legs, not these tree trunks.

    well I look like a neanderthal from the neck downwards, but with a cro-magnon face.

    but I like being short, stocky, barrel-chested and able to withstand the cold, and it's a good build for powerlifting. And the cro-magnons had prettier faces than the neanderthals. So I'm not changing. If I was taller I'd probably get vertigo plus short limbs = mechanical advantage in lifting, and if my shoulders, rib cage and muscles were smaller I wouldn't be as strong as I am. I totally love the muscle definition in my upper body and the shape of my little short but muscular legs. And I like being built like a short-*kitten* brick s#1t house. And neanderthals are cool. :drinker:

    And I like being pale too. I used to hate it, but after moving to the Middle East and meeting a lot of gorgeous olive-skinned women who were totally jealous of my pale skin, who bought skin lightening creams and used too pale toned foundation and stuff.... that surprised me, seeing how many British women go sunbathing and/or use sunbeds and/or fake tan to look olive skinned.......... all that made me realise all skin tones are beautiful, and I learned to appreciate what I've got.

    TL:DR - you can't change your genetics, so learn to love it and be the healthiest and best version of you. Someone, somewhere, wishes they had whatever genetic characteristics you have :drinker:

    Man, this is a tough one. It's a toss-up between my feet and my eyes. The feet have served me well, but now have bunions and random bouts of pain or weakness. The eyes, I like the color just fine, but I hate hate hate being near-sighted;I've had to wear fricking glasses since I was 17 and I hate them. Hate them. I wouldn't mind giving up my occasional migraines, either.
