Do People Look As You Imagined Them?
Was just wondering if the way picture people to look you whilst chatting on here or any other sites are ever anything like their true image? I know people have said they imagine me with short dark hair(I am fair and my hair is medium length). How does your mental image stand up against how a person really looks?

Re: Do People Look As You Imagined Them?
Even though I know what people look like I still keep an imaginary different image in my head when I read their posts.

Re: Do People Look As You Imagined Them?
I don't know many of the accyweb members in the real world.......and yes I do have images of how they may look.......I was quite shocked when I first met Mick and he didn't look a bit like that hairy scientist.(it was his avatar at the time)
But Less looks just as I had imagined him. I'm just going to let you know that I look nothing like MY avatar

Re: Do People Look As You Imagined Them?
I only know what those of you look like who are on photos of meet-ups. One or two, when I've seen them for the first time, have surprised me.
Apart from that, I knew what Pendy looked like many, many years ago but I haven't seen her since she was about 12, when I left school.Sometimes voices give a false clue to what the person looks like. Some of the older members may remember, back in the days of radio in the 50s, there was a news and sports reporter called Tom Naisby. He was based in Blackburn and was very well known at the time on the "Northern Home Service". He had a very rich, "dark brown" voice, one of those voices that makes you imagine a tall, dark, handsome man. My dad knew him quite well and one day, when I was about 14, he came to our house. What a let-down! He looked a lot like Norris Cole from Corrie - only fatter. It just didn't seem right that that voice was coming out of that body.  Don't know how you see me (decrepit, probably) but I'm 5'1" tall, quite slim, have short(ish) grey hair, wear glasses and am, of course, devastatingly attractive.  You guessed that, didn't you?
