I'm not entirely sure of my appearance - You'd have better luck asking my girlfriend about it.
But if you're talking about how beautiful she is, then...

Is there anything higher than ten?
(She's also quite cuddly :3)
Personally, I voted 10 because I'm honestly curious as to how a male could be a Swedish cheerleader.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
(Oh, and it counts for Makayla's vote as well :3)

For some reason, I think of the Bruno character if I think of Swedish male cheerleaders. I know he's meant to be Austrian, but still.
Either that, or I just think of handsome men in short skirts waving pom-poms

when you said you have some OCD regarding your appearance, that describes me as well, to the point of wearing makeup in public as well as clothing which minimizes my visible bodily flaws.

I wear concealer for my under-eye dark circles.
I wear wrinkle cream as well. did you know preparation H works very well as a wrinkle reducer? Hollywood stars use it in public. I also wear slimming clothing which minimizes my lumpiness, or at least the lumpiness that diet/exercise can't eliminate. but the asymmetry is largely incurable.

I definitely do concealer for under-eye circles. I don't have wrinkles yet, but thanks for that tip. I'm also very careful about choosing what clothes give me the "correct" shape. I'm thin, but I get worked up over the idea of "balance" and go overboard with it. Some days I don't even want to leave the house. It really is like a compulsion and I wish I could stop. Appearance should not matter so much.
be glad you are not lumpy. lemme tell ya, it sneaks up on you when you least suspect it. but balance [in general] is very important.

I'll have to try Bare Minerals.
Yeah, we get dark circles because the skin below our eyes is thin and we're seeing our capillaries. I'm guessing that if you're overweight you have more padding there!

I should never have let myself go like that.

I have the line that runs underneath the eye, how do I explain it? Like a diagonal that goes outward from the inner corner of the eye towards my cheek. I obsess over it and think it makes me look terrible. I have severe sleep apnea, which I'm sure is a major contributing factor to these things. Basically, I have been sleep deprived since I was a teenager.
I know some Asians and latinos seem to have that feature. I wish I could tell you more about it. there is one member of my aspie meetup group for whom this anatomical feature bothers him as well. is there a cure or treatment for your sleep apnea that you have considered? like the CPAP machine? or radio frequency ablation therapy? [that is where they anaesthetize the rear of your palate and then apply electrodes through which a radio frequency current flows, causing localized tissue shrinkage which widens the airway thus reducing the severity of your symptoms.
(clicky)15 treatments for sleep apnea
Yeah, I get it from my Asian and Native genes. It drives me crazy, though. It really makes me feel ugly.
As far as the sleep apnea goes, I have to have orthognathic surgery for it. My bottom jaw is not as developed as the upper (also another Asian trait, woohoo) so I have that weak chin thing going on. It means that my lower jaw needs to be pushed forward. When I sleep, it cuts off my airway and I wake up every 2 minutes. Since it's my jaw and not my tissue, I need to have surgery. I've had this in the works for years, but haven't been able to afford it. I might be able to do it in the next year, though. My doc said it will improve my health by 80% which would be an absolute miracle, since I am severely limited by my health right now and even had to quit working. I have other health issues, too.
The CPAP didn't work for me because the machines would go on the highest pressure setting possible and even on the "quiet" machines that setting is very loud like a wind tunnel. It was worse with the CPAP.
My orthodontist should have taken care of this when I was a teenager. Some kids wear headgear for this reason; their jaws are under-developing. It is the job of an orthodontist to identify and correct it. It's no surprise though, since he was a terrible doc anyway. He unnecessarily extracted two teeth and I need braces again.
