    What is the first thing that people notice about you or compliment you on?

    I get complimented on my hair's softness a lot, like a lot. And then people always tell me I have really pretty eyes. One time I was walking around my school and 4 different people came up to me and told me I have really pretty eyes and then gave me their numbers. My eyes and hair are the only reasons anyone dates me really.
     
    People always say as soon as they look at my face they are drawn to my eyes so... Eyes.. Not that I'm complaining, because I really like my eyes too.
     
    Gawd I wish I could give a straight answer. I don't even know what is complimented most, if I can even remember what. I think it might have been, uh... just the way I look I guess, I don't know what that look might be but... I guess that's it.
     
    My red hair that I got from my grandad on my mothers side.
     
    I've been told several times that my hair is really soft. Like, people would have races to see who could pet my hair first when I was in school. It was kind of crazy. Anyway, besides my hair, I would have to say my smile. Several people have told me that I have a really nice smile.
     
    My smile and eyes I guess. :3

    Random story: in London's National Gallery, I asked a lady who worked there where I could find the Van Gogh works. She pointed me in the right direction and said: "...by the way, you have a lovely smile. Seeing your smile has made my day, young lady." Haha. Awh.
     
    I get different compliments from different people \: Relatives tend to focus on my physical appearance, especially weight; all my aunts are body conscious. One of those said aunts complimented me on my canine teeth because apparently they're more prominent than normal. Besides that, my friends actually don't compliment me that often because they're all awkward Asians who are at times socially awkward XD But that's fine since they tend to look at my personality traits rather than physical appearance.
     
    Usually it's my butt. Doesn't matter what age or gender people will point it out. Last random people to make a comment were a group of black girls at a clothing store last week. It was actually hilarious because they kept going on about how black men must holla at me and one of them said, "Gurll how ya gon tell me you all white but you gotta ass like that?"

    Runner up would be my smile. Which this one always confuses me because my teeth are far from perfect. It's something I'm very self conscious about so sometimes when people compliment me on that I almost feel like they're making fun of me. I just accept the compliment and move on though.

    lol I think I've gotten the eye compliment once or twice in my lifetime so I guess my eyes are pretty dull
     
    Actually, it would be my eyes. I have large, round eyes that everyone compliments me on, almost to the point where it's annoying. XD
     
    I've been complimented on my hair, eyes, lips, and teeth. I even got complimented on my eyebrows once.

    I don't even know why.

    Haha, I've gotten that a few times. "They're like a perfect arc! They frame your eyes so nicely! Is that natural, or do you pluck/wax?" Uhh. No. The most I've done to them is dye them. I'm not taking tweezers to my eyebrows. But thanks. I think.

    I get the 'pretty eyes' compliment a lot. They're a bright, light brown. Almost yellowish/orange in most lighting. Apparently this is fascinating to an awful lot of people.
    I've also heard nice things about my hair, cheek bones, smile, skin, and the birth mark on my upper lip.
    My clothes seem to attract a lot of attention, too. My shoe collection in particular. Nearly every time I go out wearing my winter boots, I get stopped by at least one nice lady asking me where I got them and how much I paid. :3

    I've heard good things about other features and certain body parts, but I can't say I usually take any of those things to be a "compliment," per se... At least, not from a stranger.
     
    My hair after I dyed it aqua. Everyone loved it.
    Runner up is my long legs... O.o
     
    The thing I probably get complimented on most (if 'complimented' is the right word?) is that I look young for my age. Not sure if it's even a compliment but it's all I have. It doesn't feel much like a complimented when i'm getting ID'd into every single pub and bar ever, but there you go.

    It may pay dividends when i'm approaching 40 and still barely look like i'm in my 20s.
     
    How are eyes a special feature though? I mean, most people have them, and it's very hard to have ugly eyes, i've only seen a few cases in my life.

    Oh wow, something like this actually came up with my friends the other day. You're right you can't. You have the ordinary, and then the extra ordinary. Ya know?

    Anyway, personally, it'll have to be my skin. I guess I'm just naturally gifted or something, cause I treat my skin like crap, haha. I've had people tell me my skin is super nice multiple times by many people.
