For me I always wanted to be 6'5 or taller. Just so as I could dunk a basketball.
Just a dream of mine!

How about you guys ??

    Unfortunately, changing physical attributes like height is not possible. Instead focus on improving athleticism and jumping ability to achieve specific goals, like dunking a basketball. Embrace yourself as you are while working towards personal improvement.DJMOLDING

      Actually, you can alter your height. Limb lengthening surgeries are gaining popularity.

    Blue eyes. Not that I'm not dreamy as I am, you know, just that I like blue... I look good in blue clothes so, of course, blue eyes would be great for me. Nothing to do with vanity, I just like to bring out the full value in any project.

    I wish I had the muscle mass I do now or have built in the last 4 months 20 years ago. Or the stamina I had along with the ability to recover and not be sore all the time that I did 20 years ago today.

    I would say I wish I wasn't as hairy but I just need a home lazer hair removal device when I get around to that.


    I have always wanted to have a more consistent higher level of energy but have never dialed in the formula. I get a good burst of energy for a few weeks then it's months of low energy.

    If I could change...

    I have teeth that could use straightened...and of course I could lose about 70 pounds.

    Both of which are entirely under my control, and problems that could be solved easily.

      Its a sobering thought, do nothing and reach the age of 90. Statistically, virtually no-one is overweight at that age and as for your teeth, you can put a nice set of straight falsies back in your mouth each day. That was the lazy mans guide.

        Yea but healthy and active at 90 depends on genetics and lifestyle choices and habits that start in the 20s that delay the disease of old age from starting to develop for 2-3 decades.

        The same way it's easier to retire comfortable if one starts preparing in their 20's instead of their 50's

        Claude has the wealth aspect taken care of he is exercising regularly the critical factor to he healspan and lifespan at this point is his wife.

          That's right. If she poisons me...by the way, she just asked me if I would taste her recipe for bitter almond soup...anyone heard of that?

          Earlier, she asked me which suit I wanted to be buried in....and then sent it out to get dry cleaned. She's funny that way.

              I know a guy that's a wealthy marketer.

              I'm not joking. He had a Batmobile made and a great Batman costume, that is movie accurate....and he has his entire basement done as a batcave. His basement has been shown in magazines and on TV. He does charity work as Batman.

              I asked him once if he ever thought of going out at night in costume and looking for villains to beat up.....he said "Every day".

                Lol, yes plenty of movie enthusiasts in the US, my brother visited one with an almost full replica of the Jupiter two, (rocks vegetable garden racks, etc) and he sat in a fully working replica of the Time Machine, and you can buy the robot from the series or make one.

                But back on subject, l know when anyone approaches your grave a sensor will set off Batman saying "I'm Batman" or Doc Brown saying, "Marty get off That"?

                      I know, I was just playing with you. And...the 1966 time machine movie was the best one, and the best time machine. When I saw the movie as a kid, I thought it really worked, and tried to figure out how to build one myself.

                      I was 11, so I guess it's OK at that age.

    Honest answer: You could share a genuine physical attribute that you might consider changing. For example, you might say, "If I could change one physical attribute about myself, I would choose to have straighter teeth. It's something I've always been self-conscious about, and I believe it would boost my confidence.
