How do you picture people here in real life?

[lilminx]

There are people here who I've never seen a picture of, but based on what I know about them, I have a certain picture of how they look or what they wear.
For example, I once danced with a guy at Twilo who was gorgeous- nice dark skin, muscled body, no shirt, great dancer, wearing these funky sweatpants with no underwear on underneath ( I could tell b/c he was swinging all over the place- it was atually pretty hot). He was probably gay, but for some reason, he wanted to dance with me. If he had wanted me, I think I would have gone home with him that night. Anyway, when I think of KGBoot, that's how I picture him (minus the gay part); wearing sweats, no underwear, good body, great dancer.


How do you picture some people here, and what is your picture based upon?

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

I base my image on name, atitude, and the things they talk about.

now I'm usualy wrong but some times I get the person right on.

I pictured you almost like you are, but I seen you with long, wavy, puffy hair and glasses.

 

[StondTmplPilot]

I tend to picture the women naked

 

[IA951]

I don't

I don't really picture how anyone would look in the flesh, I've always thought that the best part of cyberspace was the liberation from body types or personal apperances.

I understand your point, but if I'm talking to someone online privately, I tend to get a picture of them in my head. I guess I'm just a visual person, where I tend to attach a face to the name and personality.

I, too, like the mystery of not actually knowing what some people actually look like.

Though I must say that those I do know look good to me either way, the ones I do know and trust and like..........because alot of what I perceive someone to look like is based on how I feel about that person in particular.

If I don't like someone, they could be just beautiful (say like Cindy Crawford, etc....) but if I didn't like them or knew them well enough to know they had a terrible personality,etc...then they mid as well be Medussa.

Sometimes I do draw mental pictures of what a person might look like............but rarely is it close to the real deal.

 

[lobito]

I'm usually wrong when I try to picture someone. For some reason, my mind is very generic, when it comes to thinking what people here may look like, unless they post a pic of their actual body or face.

If someone wanted to know me enough, they could ask me for a pic. Or if felt I knew someone here well enough, I'd PM or email them, and ask them for one.

Truth is, that I come here for the personalities, more than needing to know what someone looks like.

 

[Todd]

do me, what do i look like

 

[MissTaken]

I'll bite

As you are the hostess, lilminx, I will tell you how I picture you.

I picture at about 5'5", dark hair and full lips, often with lipstick. Your figure, as implied by your av's, is lucious *smirks*. Your deportment is one of confidence and you strike me as one of those women who exude sensuality. Your quick smile coupled with intelligence and wit, make you all the more attractive. Attractive, not entirely in a sexual sense, but in that people, especially children want ot be around your warm personality.

IF I am wrong, it is my fantasy...don't blow it! hehehehe


I have images of many of the lit members, based on their posts and choices in av's. Minx, you are one of the easier for me to imagine, for some reason or another. I guess because in some senses, we seem to have a lot in common, so I imagine a tinier version of me.

Take care and HOHOHOHO

Miss Taken, are you sure you haven't seen a pic of me?

I am 5'5, I have dark hair. While my lips aren't full, they have a nice shape to them, and I often wear lipstick. I'm not petite, but not fat either. I've been told that I'm very sensuous (Paganangel has told me on occasion that I AM sex- lol). Children seem to like me. So I guesss that you are pretty accurate in your picture of me. I can't do you b/c I've seen pics.

And Todd, I picture you as someone who has a huge cock that is totally wasted on them.

 

[lobito]

do me, what do i look like

OOOOH Todd! Don't tease us like that big boy!

STP, I think has told us enough about him for us to picture him having a good time at the pool table, smoking a joint, and watching the big game, when he's not there.

Minxie, well, MissTaken has "done you" so I wont go there.

IA951, I see you looking and obviously acting like Dana Carvey's character, the grumpy old man, because nothing that anyone does here, is to your liking.

 

[MissTaken]

No pics!

Look, mom, I am blindfolded!


As far as petite, I didn't say petite.....I said luscious. ( I am not drawn toward thin individuals. )

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Everyone tells me i'm nothing what they think i look like.

then again the discriptions I give of myself don't help

 

[MissTaken]

Anytime I have met anyone in real life after knowing them on line, they tell me I paint a much worse picture by way of description.




So....a pleasant surprise , I guess.

Fly....I will think on you for a bit and be back later. I do have an image but don't know you as well as some of the other posters. It seemed to take you a bit before your posts reflected your persona....certainly understandable


Later!

 

[cymbidia]

Like others, i tend to not form a picture of what they look like while getting to know the essence of who they are here. I find the current emphasis on the mundanitiy of physical attributes to be rather more distracting than less, to be perfectly honest.

What i seek is the kind of communication that exceeds the shallowness of one's outmost layer of cells. I want the heart of the people in whom i'm interested, i want their thoughs and feelings, their loves and dreams, their aches and their nightmares. I want them, divorced from the flesh bag that holds them upright at their computer.

I don't give a flying fuck who looks like what. Through the years, i've met a whole bunch of online friends - offline. I'm always surprised at what they look like in the light of day, even if they've posted real-face pics. In any case, that real-face entity isn't who i'm after here. I'll never meet most of you in the daylight of some cafe for a latte but that doesn't change the fact that you're of value and interest to me in this part of my life. Here, we can be friends, as truly and honestly friends as those in other parts of my life.

The bottom line for me is this: i don't give a flying fuck who looks like what here. Unless i have to find you in a crowded Border's or some cool little Vietnamese restaurant, i won't ever have to know.

And, one more time, i prefer web-found av's to real faces because they allow me more of a glimpse into the workings of your inner mind, into what's important to you, even if i don't understand it.

 

[morninggirl5]

I tend to have a "picture" of others in my mind, but that picture includes physical features only if the poster has posted pictures of themselves somewhere. Even then, the picture in my mind is usually distorted by my perceptions of them through their posts.

In the few cases that I've actually thought about what someone looks like before I saw a picture, I've been completely wrong.

 

[daughter]

I tend to

think more about the kind of person a member is rather than what she looks like. I have formed long-term relationships both online and the phone because of my job. I have yet to meet someone in person who looks like I imagine. I sometimes imagine features, but more often I think of their dispositions, voice, mannerisms.

I have only once met someone in person who's demeanor wasn't something I hadn't learned during the course of our interactions. Even in that one instance, in many ways I was not surprise by the person's behavior.

I tend to think about how much I would enjoy someone's company in person. Cymbidia for instance is someone I'd love to have lunch with. I imagine we would have an easy, relaxed time. I like teachers and we share enough common interests that I would love to listen to her ramble on. I'm drawn to brainy people.

I'd like to meet debbiexxx. I suspect she doesn't look at all like her av. I see her with soft eyes, average build. I think in person she is likely a woman who makes people feel at ease around her.

I can think of plenty of others who'd I'd like to visit.

I always laugh when people describe me. Some have said my voice almost sounds like they expected. Looks? Not one has come close.

Peace,

daughter

hahaha.. There's a few reasons for that

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Considering no one has seen a picture of me, I would be interested to know how you picture me?

Most of the people that have come out with pics I have been close to what I had pictured.......

 

[lilminx]

It seems that some people here think that just because one might form a certain picture of what someone else here looks like in their mind based upon what they know of the person, one is shallow. I never said that I *cared* about what that person looks like; I simply stated that that is my version of what that person may look like. I also don't think that there is anything wrong with it. I like attaching a face to a person, the face doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to picture them as a god or a beauty queen. As I stated before, I am a visual person.

 

[morninggirl5]

lilminx,

Having a picture definitely doesn't make you shallow. I don't think anyone meant to imply that. There are many of us who prefer that physical looks remain in the realm of mystery. Some for personal reasons, some for professional reasons, some for both.

It's one more way that lit offers what we need, if you want real av's you can have one. If you choose not to, your choice.

[PHANTOM5875]

Prefer NOT to know how you look in the beginning

I for one am glad I don't know how everyone looks out here. Now, this is just me and I know some of us just naturally begin to formulate a mental image and that's fine. Just not necessary for me.

That way I get to bond with the personality, the inner or real person. So when I get the rare opportunity to meet one of you on here, the physical part doesn't really matter as I already have you as a real friend and friendship transcends all of the superficial things such as appearance.

Just my humble opinion.

 

[OLIEOGRE]

I tend to look at their avatar and use that as an idea of what the person is like. I think that it shows how the person sees themselves and that is what is much more important to me than their actual physical looks.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

I tend to associate the people here with their avitars rather than making my own mental picture of them. Becoming familiar with what each person writes, and how they write the words, forms their personality, and I've been pleasantly surprised when a few of the real life av's match up with my feelings about them.

I have not yet met anyone face to face, but I did fall in love with my LDR man just by our time together in chat. Amazingly when I actually heard his voice, I recognized him immediately. Finally seeing his physical image just made me need him even more.

I have become more "real" here than I had originally expected to, and I sense a genuineness that is very satisfying.

Merry Christmas!

The problem with that is that you can chat online with a 21 year old blonde hair/blue eye beauty who tells you that she has a pair of 38 DD breasts and a sweet round ass. Hell, she may even send you a picture of such a woman. You'll never know that you're actually talking to a 45 year old bald haired/pot belly ex-Marine who lives with his mother and gets off on pretending to be a girl or just looking for a potential victim.

Don't laugh. This is similiar to a murder case that actually occurred.
