I had imagined you with glasses and grey hair(nicely cut) but imagined you to be slim and leggy.

Ooh, I always wanted to be leggy but I'm the only titch in a tall family. I even married a man 6' tall and I think of my son (who is 5'9 and a half) as quite short. My grandson makes up for it, though, he's 6'4.

Re: Do People Look As You Imagined Them?

Met quite a few people over the last 8 years or so from various sites. Most if not all have been nothing like I initially imagined. Always got to know people in the past before meeting, pics/ web cam, so had a rough idea of what to expect before the first encounter. That was until my one Accyweb meet, went to that virtually “blind”, did scour the gallery section before hand so some faces were not totally new to me.

Guess it’s always worthwhile to remember that some people have an “online persona” which is generally totally different to their real life character.

Re: Do People Look As You Imagined Them?

No,never do.Went to a wedding once of a very close friend of mine(shall we say).Never met her husband,she'd never met Mrs Silver.The first time we met again afterher marriage bith of us agreed that our partners were nothing at all like either of us had imagined.I find it's the same if you're going to some place you've never been before,you have this mental image of how you think the place will look but it's always different.Please ignore that bit i put in brackets,it makes it seem as though something untowards was going on & there was'nt.Maybe wishful thinking....maybe too much drink blah,blah,blah
