Do you sometimes imagine what people on here might look like in real life?

Question

I often do. What do you think I look like?

Well, if you know my questions and answers, or those of anyone else's, you could base your imagination on apparent personality, or on the lack thereof.

I must admit that I'm a bit surprised so many base their imagination on cartoon avatars.

ed and ali x x x, it's just a question. Was there a need to your pandering speech? The stars say no. Am I supposed to be impressed by it? This isn't a political/philosophical question. Relax.

Answer 1

Thometimeth.

Answer 2

Deduction is good to build a person image from details find in someones statements, but it still allows making mistakes or fallowing misleads. Also it is only a slight rule with huge gaps that a look of someone allows to define that someone character or in invertal way - character can define someones look. The appearance and character can mislead. Some people fallow rules and believe only in wrights of logic (that is why they are easy to "decode") when others have rebellious and surprising nature - it sometimes makes them interesting, unique, attractive, outstanding, unpredictable, different. I don't know you well and I don't study your activity in yahoo Q&A so I will not try to guess how you look. Actually does it realy matter? Also I dont try to guess how others look untill they mention about it. However you are right that avatars make sugestions for example what colour of hair someones have. It is easy to believe in ilusion, although I think it is rather common that someone choose avatar with simmilar apperance he/she have. I have complicated attitude to trust. Naturaly I am rather naive, but life teach me to be carefull on what I see, hear and feel in any way I can, aspeccialy from people. Lie is an invention improved through ages and it works well in destroing potential power of humanity. Nothing can truly stop this cancer except person that choose to lie.

Answer 3

Well, since many have 360 pages or real picture avatars, I don't have to imagine, but I am sure that Anry isn't a cat (or if he is, then that is one smart cat)

Answer 4

Why does that matter. why are we all so hung up on looks. why are you hung up on looks. i find if you are pretty you get attention and that can seem good from the outside but when you have got it its not as good as it looks as people are just superficial and are only talking to you if you are pretty. and on the other side of the scale if ou arent not as much attention but that can be just a bad. i say sometimes its better not to know then you can just be yourself. no judgements no sleazy or unkind words! its sometimes better to talk without the extra stuff that comes from being attracted or unattracted to the other person. it truly allows you to be honest. think about that one. would your answers to questions change if you thought the person was hot or if you found them grotesque. that is the beauty of yahoo questions and answers.

Answer 5

Yeah i do a lot.. i have no idea what to even think u may look like because u dont have an avatar to even give me a hint.

Answer 6

No. I usually visualize their avatars talking. Weird huh? It's like everyone is a cartoon.

Answer 7

I guess I have no clue what you look like.

I try to imagine my ideal female sometimes and what she is like.

I know I'm talkin with an imaginary composite though.

Answer 8

I haven't the slightest clue, but you probably have an evil gleam in your eye 'cause you run with scissors and you are a self-proclaimed saint.

Answer 9

kind of a pasty grey complexion?? Your avatar reminds me of a prison profile photo.

Answer 10

Occasionally, I do. I don't know what you look like or have an idea-- no avatar.
