The first time my brother used en passant on me I was maybe eight years old, had never seen it done before and wasAkytalusia said:

In a fight? Hit me in the face and I'll go down and curl. Anywhere else I'm kinda fat so punches won't hurt me as much.
I also broke my knuckle once and have a screw through it so when I punch stuff it hurts a lot.
I also don't like it when people stab me in the spine, that's kind of annoying.

Physically, subject me to any kind of pain, I'm as light as lightweight gets.
Mentally, letting other people down. Seriously. We've all let ourselves down here and there but when it comes to performing for other people, I set the bar for myself incredibly high and I'm never able to jump it. I don't know why I set such freakishly high standards for myself, I just do. Although it does make me strive to give it as much as I possibly can and if I keep walking away dissatisfied, I'm doing nothing but improve.

I have horrible *horrible* topical allergies, including to many common colognes/perfumes. My sensitivity is such that if I am able to smell the cologne I will have some level of reaction. And my reaction is my skin blistering and peeling off.
Related to the allergies, my immune system is too strong/too reactive. This causes more problems than you might imagine.
There are more, but the internet doesn't have enough space...
I have a weakness for the female midriff. I totally blame seeing 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger' when I was a child and being vaulted in to an early puberty by Jane Seymour running around in a bellydance outfit for most of the film.
Related, I have a severe weakness for bellydancers.
I have a severe weakness for plush toys. Yes I'm a 46 year old man and I love teddy bears.
And having a child of the appropriate age, I have a reasonable excuse for buying them.
As a result, our apartment is overflowing with plush.
I have a complete inability to read a certain kind of 'signals' from the fair sex. When one of the (very few) women I've
been intimate with asked me why it had taken me so long to get around to that type of intimacy I told her "I wasn't sure
you wanted to." She stared at me for a few moments and then asked
In an actual fight the fact that I have fairly short reach is my biggest problem. I've found some creative ways
around it. Also, as I'm getting older I find that my reflexes really have slowed considerably.

I cannot stand the cold which isn't a good thing in a place where there's snow on the ground for 6 months of the year.
My right hip and knee would also count. Since I injured them whilst hiking a few years back I can't walk around for prolonged periods of time (roughly 3-4 hours) without experiencing stiffness and pain in those joints.
Psychologically, I become distracted incredibly easy but it's better on some days than others.

I can't remember numbers due to having dyscalculia. I can't remember my credit card, my social security, my phone number, my checking account. I got Ds in division. I retook algebra 7 times. Sometimes I'll forget the year, the month, my address, or even how old I am. I also have no sense of time.
I'm lazy. Extraordinarily lazy. Even if it's something I want to do, it takes a supreme effort of will to get myself out of my chair and go do it. Inertia is my mortal enemy.
Surprise impacts to the head completely remove my high cognition for about half a second. However, this would only help you in fight if you hit me hard enough to knock me out, as my Smite Evil tends to kick in during the short period.
If the impact is light enough, I can usually wrest control before I set about whatever hit me, but not always.
On the non-combat side, I just can't get the hang of Mid-level socializing. Low-level dealing with strangers and acquaintances I can do, and High-level family and friend upkeep I do rather well, but with Mid-level making friends and extendedly conversing I flounder. Basically, when it comes to people I don't know and close friends I'm charming and delightful, but if I have a girl over for afternoon tea I struggle to even converse, much less show any hint of charisma.

Physically my main weakness is the same as any other male's. I'm also rather weak overall, no part particularly moreso than others [Beyond the obvious]. I am highly averted to anything that could cause physical pain though. I generally don't feel pain too bad, but I'll avoid it like the plague if I can possibly help it.
Mentally my biggest weakness is my dedication to making others happy over myself. The number of times I have caused myself a lot of emotional pain simply so that another doesn't have the chance to feel hurt is beyond counting. An additional weakness could be my inability to focus, and my constantly changing opinion on certain subjects that leaves me constantly re-evaluating them.

Are you me? Haha. My social skills are pretty good, though I just don't bother with charisma or 'acting' to court people or come off as someone I'm not.Casual Shinji said:
OT: I have a weakness for cute/handsome gamer guys, kittens, proud and fierce queers of all colors, shapes and sizes, and anyone who can converse with me on radical politics regardless in differences of opinions
Fluffy animals, I could be having a very serious conversation then out of no where I see a cat or guinea pig and immediately need to go hug and pet them as well as possibly ADD.
Cute redheads
Zombies! I know being a gamer I am well trained in the art of zombie killing but damnit I have some seriously strange zombie nightmares every time I watch a zombie movie/show.

Alcohol, battling the addiction without going AA and never drinking again is not easy. Its too much a part of my family and social life for me to stop completely so I am building up dishiprin and only being a light to moderate drinker.
My body also overheats quickly.
Yet I can tend to a camp fire like no ones business, move logs around with my hands, not the glowing bits of course that shit burns I've been called the bellows, the lack of hair makes me not really care about sticking my face in the fire to get it going, singed eyebrows are common though.
Conversely I am nigh invulnerable when it comes to cold weather.

Funny you should mention that, I tried to (not McDonald's, but a fast food place anyway). Got splashed with boiling curry sauce 3 times the first day. Doesn't help that I'm a vegetarian, so I ended up not eating anything all day. Needless to say, I didn't last more than a day.PoolCleaningRobot said:
hmmmmm...
not caring much about anything at all, and the randomly yet way too often occuring complete misjudgment of a given scenario despite actually "knowing" that the exact opposite is required (as in: knowing the actual conclusion of a train of thought but redoing it in a completely wrong manner out of nowhere), plus distrust in my own memory in the first place.
oh wow, that sounds depressing XD

flirtatious teasing, I never have anything to respond with.
on the bright side, those fools never use it against me! /cackle
also, arachnophobia, but my instincts are more fight than flight, so...
