[quote=@Vilageidiotx]Personally, I think it looks silly when you start bringing numbers into descriptions. Like "Mary Sue was 6 foot 7 inches." or "John Doe was 152 pounds." This isn't crazy unprofessional or anything, i've seen published writers I really like do this plenty of times, but for me personally it always seems clinical as fuck. The weirdest I seen is B/W/H measurements for women. 

My own way of doing descriptions is to pick out a few features that stand out and otherwise stay vague. Something like "Robertito was a stocky, big-boned man with an oily handlebar mustache and eyes that gave the impression that he was way too clever for his own good." [/quote]

Definitely with you here.
