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.

My big belly.

But actually my face, I'm European living in South Korea.

I was once not spotted whilst wearing a bright fluorescent orange cycling rain jacket and standing 6'5" tall in an office of suits.

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

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.

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

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 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.
