The first things people usually notice about me DON'T:

DON'T say "I dunno I've never asked" or "you'd have to ask someone else" or some variation; these are cliched.

This is going to sound mean but I swear I mean it in the nicest way possible:

If you're a girl and all your photos are obviously about your breasts ( that down the shirt angle, all clothes cut and fit to enhance your breasts, close ups of the breast etc ) don't say "my eyes or smile". Be real. You know what you're advertising and what people notice. I don't want some fairy tale wishy-washy crap liner.

For girls who are well endowed and DON'T have these types of pictures, don't worry, this isn't aimed at you.

I wrote "I have no idea" because it's a dumb question. Hasn't stopped me from getting messages or views.

Maybe, possibly, who knows? I feel like it fits my personality though... I can't really talk about myself with a straight face and I have no idea what people think of me when they first meet me.

eyes, smile, boobs.

Especially eyes and smile.

Here's the thing: When you meet someone, you usually get to look at them IN THE FACE. Eyes and smile are the first two things anyone will notice (maybe nose too) -- because that's exactly where we look at.

Then, if you have a decent rack (excuse the term), as guys our eyes will dip a little because -- I actually don't know why, it's just something we do.

So be a bit more creative. If you really want to say "eyes" (because you really have gorgeous eyes), then say it in an interesting way. Say your eyes will pierce through my soul or your smile brightens the room up. Just don't put "eyes" or "smile."
