Oh, I don't like this game. [insert smiley with biting nails] LOL.

I know this sounds weird, but I see emotions long before physical images/attributes. Take Twink, after reading a few of her posts on another forum all I "saw" was sparkling eyes and laughter. The same is true for many others. I see the emotions and the physical stuff.

I do this carp all the time. I have a friend who keeps insisting that I become a profiler. NO WAY! DDs and DBF get freaked sometimes when I do this.

First Impressions:

Bannet - I see as this warm and compassionate person. If you were to show up at her house you would be welcomed with open arms and a hug.

AMN - I see laughter. If I ever show up at your house, I will be bringing and wearing Depends. LOL.

Aarcyn - Very kind, sweet, and intelligent.

Mom23angels - A fighter. The mark that you make in this world will bring so many good things to others.

There are some I met face to face that looked nothing like I expected and others look like I thought. I will be finally meeting one of my cyber friends next week and I have a picture of her in my head. I wonder if she'll look anything like I think!

Case in point, when I first encountered a particular online friend, I was convinced that she was a flustered, confused, slightly daft, pitiful, roly-poly, old bat with thick, dirty glasses and thigh-highs rolled down over her hairy ankles. Mrs. Doubtfire, on a bad day.

Has anyone else had a similar awakening?

yes, it was none other than DM!

Yes, I know what you mean......I used to imagine myself blonde, svelte,
young looking and gorgeous...kinda like Kim Bassinger ya know Sadly,
I looked in the mirror.....

.......Well, you can guess what
I saw

Trish

yep you pretty much pegged me right. Come on over and have a seat. HungrY? Thirsty? Can I get you anything?

Yep Momma's avatar throws me off too! I constantly think she looks like that and have grown to love her

I've met quite a few board buddies in the past year. The one who actually looks most like her name is Girlie Girl!

It can really throw me if someone's username has a noun in it and there is no accompanying picture. You know: AfterMyNap should have looked sleepy, (far from it!), Bannet should wear a bonnet (haven't met her yet), etc.

OR, I get used to looking at an avatar and expect Wiz to be wearing cleaning lady garb, like one of Carol Burnett's characters. Lol!

Taffy is in her kitchen stretching candy.

Karousel is a fairy on a merry-go-round.

Soxmom is herding kids in sock feet.

Tamiloo sounded like a blonde, and she IS!

tkrik just has to be cute cuz her name is!

I met Aarcyn not long ago and was very pleasantly surprised (c'mon, her name suggests setting fires), lol

Thanks Mom23Angels for including your pic so I know right away you don't actually have wings and 23 kids!

I don't dare tell you what I think of when I see the name Doody.

Why don't these people include pics?
